but this video and band caught my fancy

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5nw1-_5-Vk

That is some seriously good music JD.  The lyrics posit hope, with despair.  There were tears behind my eyes on the second hearing, that I then knew were there on the first.  Gerard Way has a fanTASTic voice.  It almost feels endless, like he could go forever and never reach the wall.  Well chosen, thanks for sharing that.  I plan to buy the CD, because the whole album is a story, according to Wikipedia, and I intend to feel the whole thing.  The band cites Queen as a strong influence on the album, as well as Pink Floyd's The Wall.  I can hear that.  But, they have struck their own vein.  Here's hoping they continue to mine it. 

You know, sometimes new music feels like just so much noise, or venom.  This was neither.

TexasToest: I agree,I got a lump 30 seconds into the song,they are special

"Snoopy": Hi All! Snoopy just introduced meto this board! And this group! Both are really good can't wait till i have more time to go through your picks. this video thing is fantastic that we can post the ones we enjoy on here. thanks mods for all you are doing!

Jim Dandy: What a showman!  Bohemian Rhapsody
was number one for weeks in the Uk! My dad used to buy me all the no 1s on 45s and every Christmas he bought me the top 20 on 45s.
Another ole favourite of mine was Liberace
Another great showman. They sure don,t make em like that anymore lmbo!

SEAWOLF2: YOU TOO SEAWOLF THANKS VERY MUCH!

This blues style band is out of North Carolina. I found them 'cause the keyboard player bought something from us on eBay and was telling me about the band. I love this song they performed!



Mighty Lester & his band. Live from the Rock N Bowl in New Orleans. Very special guest Cranston Clements sitting in on guitar.

Mousetrap: I love early Queen,everything up until "THE GAME"
I was never fond of Freddie cutting his hair and growing the moustache or the direction they took from that point on.I was very lucky to obtain a bootleg dvd of them performing at the Hammersmith during the recording of the breakthrough NIGHT AT THE OPERA album,they perform a short section of what they had recorded up to that point.

Mousetrap:

I AGREE! "BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY" WAS ONE OF FREDDIE'S BEST!! 8^) AND
I CONCUR WITH YOU ON LIBERACE TOO! PEOPLE MAY MOCK HIS PRIVATE
LIFE AND MAKE JOKES, BUT LIKE HE
USED TO SAY... "HE LAUGHED ALL THE WAY TO THE BANK" THAT MAMA'S BOY DID!! LOL! HE WAS A PIANIST
PAR EXCELLENCE! AND THE COSTUMES
HE WORE, WHICH WEIGHED HUNDREDS OF POUNDS FROM ALL THE JEWELS AND RHINESTONES THAT WERE EACH HAND-
SEWN ON THE CAPES, WERE ALSO THE INSPIRATION BEHIND THE JUMPSUITS
THAT ELVIS WORE IN HIS LAS VEGAS
YEARS! IF "THE KING" DIDN'T THINK THEY WERE "SISSY" COSTUMES, THEN
NEITHER SHOULD WE! TAKES A REAL MAN TO BE ABLE TO HAUL 300 - 400
POUNDS OF RHINESTONES LIKE THAT!!
SO HATS OFF TO LIBERACE! HE WAS A
TALENTED MAN AND WAS ADMIRED BY MANY PEOPLE WHO APPRECIATED NOT ONLY HIS MUSIC, BUT ALSO HIS TRUE
DEVOTION TO HIS MOTHER WHILE SHE WAS ALIVE. MY OWN MOTHER THOUGHT THE WORLD OF HIM AND HIS MUSIC, AND I DO TOO!!

CHECK OUT THIS GAL: EVA CASSIDY!

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=EVA+CASSIDY

THIS EXTREMELY TALENTED LADY HAD HER LIFE TAKEN FROM HER FAR TOO SOON BY THE BIG KILLER: CANCER!
DESPITE HER EARLY DEATH SHE HAD
MANAGED TO RECORD A NUMBER OF ALBUMS, SOME OF WHICH WERE SAVED
ON MASTER TAPES AND RELEASED ON
CD POST-HUMOUSLY. I HAVE EVERY ALBUM OF HERS THAT I COULD FIND.
I RECOMMEND YOU START AT THE VERY BEGINNING WITH HER FIRST ALBUM THOUGH: "SONGBIRD". HER VERSION OF "OVER THE RAINBOW" WILL BRING
TEARS TO YOUR EYES AND SEND A SPINE-TINGLING CHILL UP YOUR SPINE! I GUARANTEE IT!! THAT FIRST ALBUM IS A GLIMPSE INTO THE
FAR-REACHING TALENT SHE EXHIBITS IN SEVERAL MUSICAL GENRES. SHE DID DO A LOT OF BLUES, BUT ALSO COVERS MANY OTHER STYLES OF MUSIC AND SHE DOES IT EQUALLY AS WELL TOO!! IF YOU'VE NEVER HEARD THIS YOUNG LADY SING BEFORE THEN YOU ARE IN FOR A VERY SPECIAL TREAT!!
CHECK HER OUT! YOU WON'T BE AT ALL DISAPPOINTED, I PROMISE YOU!!

SEAWOLF2: A very  dear friend sent me a song of hers over a year ago,what a talant.I think he sent me a cover she did of a FLEETWOOD MAC song.

Eriisa:

YUP! NOTHING MORE PRECIOUS THAN ONE'S SIGHT!! GET THEE TO THE EYE DOCTOR PRONTO, MY FRIEND! BETTER TO ADDRESS ANY VISION ISSUES YOU MAY HAVE SOONER, RATHER THAN LATER. PERHAPS JUST A CHANGE OF EYEGLASSES IS ALL YOU WILL NEED.
BUT JUST IN CASE, IT'S BETTER TO
BE ON TOP OF IT, TRUST ME!!! YOU SHOULD NEVER LET YOUR EYES (OR YOUR TEETH) GO.... IT ONLY LEADS TO BIGGER PROBLEMS IN THE LONG RUN IF YOU PUT THINGS OFF WHEN YOU KNOW YOU SHOULD SEE THE EYE
DOCTOR (OR DENTIST) RIGHT AWAY.
GOOD LUCK!!

Eriisa:
YES, I LIKE THAT FIRST ALBUM I GOT OF HERS, AND WANT TO DELVE INTO MORE OF HER MUSIC NOW TOO!
GLAD TO BE ABLE TO SHARE ONE OF
MY NEWEST FINDS HERE. 8^)

Jim Dandy:

YES, SHE WAS A VERY TALENTED LADY! IF YOU WANT TO HEAR ANOTHER
HER SONGS THAT WILL "CHILL" YOU LISTEN TO HER COVER OF "FIELDS OF GOLD". PUT'S STING'S COVER OF THE SONG TO SHAME IN MY OPINION! BUT MIND YOU, THAT'S JUST MY OPINION.
I'M SURE THE STING LOVER'S OUT THERE WOULD DISAGREE, BUT THEY PROBABLY HAVEN'T HEARD EVA DO IT!
THE GAL WAS INCREDIBLE! SHE KNEW
THE IMPORTANCE OF NOT HAVING TO SCREAM EVERYTHING IN ORDER TO BE
"HEARD". AND WHILE I LIKE A GOOD ROCK AND ROLL SONG AS MUCH AS THE NEXT PERSON, THERE IS SO MUCH TO BE SAID FOR "CONTROL" IN VOCALS TOO! THIS GAL KNEW WHEN TO LET IT ALL HANG OUT, AND WHEN TO PULL IT IN ON GOSSAMER THREADS TOO! SURE
WISH SHE WAS STILL AROUND, BUT DESPITE HER ABBREVIATED CAREER SHE LEFT US A LEGACY TO REMEMBER HER BY FOR YEARS TO COME YET!!
ONE OF THE ALBUMS I LIKED WAS A "LIVE" ALBUM CALLED "LIVE AT BLUES ALLEY". WOW!!! WHAT AN ALBUM THAT ONE IS! GOTTA' CHECK IT OUT, JIM!!!

SEAWOLF2: I agree,music reminds me of food.Nobody likes to eat the same meal every day,variety is nice

Jim Dandy:

WELL SAID, JIM! I LIKE YOUR ANALOGY COMPARING MUSIC TO FOOD!
DIFFERENT "TASTES" AT DIFFERENT TIMES FOR MOST OF US, I'M SURE!
VARIETY IS NICE, AS YOU SAY.

LINKS TO PICS OF EVA CASSIDY

Jim Dandy: Oh I don,t know, I have one or two cds that I love to play over and over again when I am bombing down the motorway at 140mph with the windows open lmbo!

MousetrapYes,but that also fits my analogy.I do enjoy those all you can eat nights:

Jim Dandy: I like that analogy too lol!

Jim Dandy: oops yes it is a yes.

I got distacted by something sorry, forgot to answer you.

Nirvana: Blinded by the light,no doubt

Nirvana: How about some Spirit in the sky? lmbo!
The Kumars were really funny! What the heck! Wrong one lmbo!
I,ll try again. How about some Spirit in the sky  

A musical genius who could never shake some bad habits.Here is some rare live footage of him performing with Emylou Harris.When you explore his music and the bands he played and was associated with you'll learn what we have so sadly lost

Jim Dandy: They certainly knew how to entertain the crowd and was that a little uke I saw at the end lol!?

Mousetrap: er,ummmm.......you were watching the uke?

It's a shame that rock theatre isn't what it once was
