and a few jazz masterpieces

another Dad-Rock classic mainly for that intro

rvi

i couldnt get into these guys as much as i hoped. should revisit

Elric

3y

ngl I didnt even realize this was them too classic

Elric

have you seen this @RVI ? a top 3 comedy oat imo

although so is Lebowski which you didnt dig that much

Elric

3y

they're good not great imo. people claiming Alvin is one of the goat guitarists :rdjeyeroll:

rvi

i didnt listen to a ton of the live stuff but definitely a few good moments. but overall struck me as him sometimes playing really fast and decent blues but also seeming a bit sloppy and lacking finesse/some ideas

mostly judging off ther 1968 live album at least, mightve got better

rvi

3y

nah was actually maybe gonna watch with a friend one of these weekends though

Elric

ngl im gonna be revisiting that Purp cause Ritchie had some cool ideas

just too bad they're no Plant/Page, Ozzy/Iommi, Keef/Mick tier combo. Ritchie sounds like much more of an inventive original than his singer.

the real duo of deep purple is Blackmore/Lord

and Gillan is in the same company with those in terms of influence archetype for skilled and bombastic masculine hard rock singer in a way that the others werent

people like Rob Halford, Bruce D***inson, Dio, David Lee Roth are sons of Gillan more than anyone else

rvi

3y

have you heard the stuff after Gillan left at all though? era with coverdale/hughes sharing lead vocals has some great stuff. even though im not big on coverdale

and apparently you liked Glenn Hughes in Trapeze

Elric

3y

yeah Trapeze invented Priest more that Purp did imo

rvi

3y

didnt hear trapeze doing anything like that double drumming on Fireball title track. or child in time for the dramatic vocals. like Exciter and something like Victim of Changes/Beyond the Realms of death. feel like you can definitely hear blackmore in the guitars of Priest

Purple came first anyway and probably birthed trapeze themself

Trapeze song Jury is the most Priest thing I've ever heard much more than even Child In Time

Seafull also has more of a Halford purr than Purps gutteral dude had

rvi

3y

for Halford i feel like its more about the skillfulness than sound of the voice. (and other metal vocalists in general)

honestly one way you can look at it is a kind of cheesiness that Ozzy/Plant/Mick didnt have and you can trace that line of cheesiness all the way through to heavy metal, power metal, glam metal etc.

Elric

Yeah that operatic campiness had to start somehow. Jagger could be camp in a different way tho, on things like Emotional Rescue.

rvi

3y

yeah definitely and mick birthed all those anyway

Elric

Thoughts on the new album? Obv way too slick but I can't believe how good Mick sounds unfair to other singers

rvi

3y

its ok but i think its in my bottom 3 albums from them. didnt really love the way mick sounded on some of the songs but sounded good on others. sounded slightly worse with each listen i gave, dont really think the riffs or song ideas are that strong theyre just okay
