I agree, and usually steer clear. But bad Randy Rhoads still blows away 80% of what's out there IMO.

Diary Of A Madman by Ozzy Osbourne Perfect Timing by McAuley/Schenker Group In Step by Stevie Ray Vaughan Gov't Mule self titled debut

Among artists I generally like, KISS' "Unmasked" was horrid. I am in the minority on this most likely, but I was extremely disappointed in "Dose" by Gov't Mule. I recently obtained a CD called "Quiet Riot - The Randy Rhoads Years". I wish I hadn't. Randy, IMO, is the ultimate guitar...

I respect Les Claypool, but I am indeed oversaturated with talk of him. He is an incredible player and gifted songwriter, but I would prefer to hear less about him. On the other hand, I would like to see/hear more about Robert Trujillo. His preferred style of music may not be everyone's...

Thanks guys, that helps.

I have owned my bass for less than two months total. Sadly, I haven't been able to spend the time I wanted to with it due to a health setback which was unexpected but somewhat serious. I'm on the mend now, have things caught up around the house and job, and am finally ready to delve into this...

My listening taste runs from the very heavy (Motorhead, Pantera etc) to bluegrass. I've never liked pop and never will. I'm currently in the midst of a sleaze metal revival and listening to Vains Of Jenna, Crank County Daredevils, Confederacy Of Horsepower, Dirty Penny, and other lesser known...

Back in my college days there was a local band called Government Cheese. Quite popular around Nashville/Murfreesboro. Lots of college bands back then with weird names. One I still remember was These Are Houseplants. Laughing Storm Dogs (LSD...get it?) was also quite good. There was...

Not only to this forum, but to the bass world. After 20+ years of talking myself out of it, I have just purchased a starter bass and practice amp. I have never played an instrument in my life and have no ambition to play live or join a band. I am a complete music freak, and wanted to learn...
