just for all the political shite in washtubbyton and #muhrussia faggotism....

Patrick M. DiNizio “Pat” (October 12, 1955 – December 12, 2017) He had gained a heck of a lot of weight, but was a great songwriter and performer back in the day. One of my favorite shows. Still have the drummer's stick from that show.

Patrick M. DiNizio, 62, of Scotch Plains, NJ, passed away on December 12, 2017. For the past 37 years, Pat was the principal songwriter, guitarist and lead vocalist for the platinum recording artists The Smithereens. Their records contained such hits as “Blood and Roses”, “Behind the Wall of Sleep”, “House That We Used To Live In”, “Drown In My Own Tears”, “Only A Memory”, “Yesterday Girl” and “A Girl Like You” among many others.

Just got finished reorganizing my cd collection.... 600+ cds in the collection ... and of some note...

En Route to me

Eminem: Revival
Metallica: Kill 'Em All Remastered
Metallica: Ride the Lightning Remastered
Evanescence: Synthesis
Judas Priest: Rocka Rolla, Sad Wings of Destiny
Judas Priest: Staind Class, Point of Entry, Ram it Down, and Painkiller Remastered Series
*fills in a collection I had started and I passed on the two live cds in that set.

Missing and need to get:

Helmet: Dead to the World ('17)
Judas Priest: Jugulator, Demolition, Metalogy, Angel of Retribution, Nostradamus
*these aren't cheap enough yet for me to bite with their others on the way.
Judas Priest: Firepower coming in March 2018
Papa Roach: Crooked Teeth ('17)
*probably only get the single cd even though the double with disc 2 being live stuff isn't that much more.
Public Enemy: Nothing is Quick in the Desert
*says its a digital only album now so...
Wyclef Jean: Carnival III: The Fall and Rise of a Refugee
*Got one of his '17 releases, J'Ouvert, but somehow missed this one

***************************

So, what was I blasting while doing this you ask? Well...



Disc 1.
*A great cover album



Damn, forgot how good this 2017 effort by them was.... Vernon Reid and Corey Glover make Living Colour, and they still sound good.



Another good Living Colour cd from a few years ago, not as well produced as Shade but still worth a listen IMO.




Great disc IMO. I have liked all of his solo works.

*****************************

In the car of late


I don't normally double dip but I found this one pretty cheap for the 3disc set. After playing it in my much nicer car system (versus my computer speakers) I can really tell they brightened up the highs and put in a little more bass. I was convinced enough to get Kill Em All and Ride the Lightning remasters too but just the base cd only and not those super deluxe sets. This was the 2nd Metallica cd I ever listened to, the first being The Black Album. I liked MoP enough to revisit their back catalog at that point and got more into the band than I had up until that point.


In and out of play

*great rock disc IMO


*great rock disc IMo


Technically, the anniversary remastered edition of this epic piece of work. I didn't keep my original at the time but when this came out a few years ago I re-bought it.



Strictly for the old school hip hop disc.

Bruh, if you gonna get all political you gotta have some Rage Against the Machine and Public Enemy

But if you gonna ride that Pantera train...

While not always my cup of tea, I got on youtube and saw Slayer is ending it this year

Like I said, I never really got into them but I did find some songs I could get into here and there...they just were never my thing.... but they are arguably one of the biggest influencers of the metal genre.

Heilung - Krigsgaldr

Enjoy.





If you were open enough to finish that one then by all means try this one on for size.

I'm not sure how to evaluate my purchase of this. On the one hand their original hook that got me was here powerful vocals (almost operatic) against some pretty good rock music but this cd seems to have taken out the rock guitar element and replaced it with orchestra and just her vocals. Its not bad, and lends itself to its own sound but it doesn't sound at all like old Evanescence.




Both in their remastered line of re-releases. I gotta say, they both sound very cleaned up and tightened up and crisper than my originals. The $6 barrier to entry was low enough to double dip. The bass is a lot more pronounced than the earlier versions and highs are a bit sharper. I liked them in but I can't say they are mind blowingly better to give up on your original copies.


*Defenders of the Faith, Sin After Sin, Painkiller, and Ram It Down so far....

As to getting a lot of Judas Priest back catalog to fill in some gaps I have had for a long time... man... theses guys rocked. I am glad to have songs I like not on my 2cd hits disc I already had. Killer guitars and good bass grooves. Halford's vocals are undeniable as a unique sounding front man. They also have some of the best album covers in the business LOL.



Listened to the whole thing, and I don't get the hate it got. Not his best work overall but a solid entry into the catalog. Lots of interesting rock samples throughout the cd. Very few trash songs and a lot of politics. I personally think he's best when in dis mode or genuinely pissed off.

Man, I really love the funky metal sound of this cd.

I prolly posted this before....but if'n one missed some country from ol' Jackie boy and an eclectic gang of 'miscreants'.....

just came across this one.....ya man!!!

helloween - laudate dominum

it's a mozart cover

love this cat.... restrung my Martin today.....what a cool vibe.....

Dug up some old Korn cds....
