Now I feel the chick in that video, lmao. Sad but true. I lost the love of my life to cancer just over a year ago, and the small town locals up here know it. There's been a very attractive artist/waitress that's been coming on strong. The perfect dream girl-wife material type (it there's such a thing) but I'm still just not interested in any of that right now. Not sure I'll ever be. Told myself that's it - alone till death, just like my grandfather when his wife passed at about the same age. (40s) Yet part of me hope's she (that waitress) will wait, guess I'll never learn. . .

(Btw, those guys are about 60 years old, been doing this for 40 years and are about to go on a 2-year tour. . .) Last time I saw them live (probably 20 years ago) They had this thing where the stage collapses, pyrotechnic failures, guys falling from the rafters. For those that didn't know, it seemed real. It was a play-off a real pyrotechnic failure when James got burned live on stage. Anyway, after the collapse, these guys played old school ride the lightening under a single hanging light bulb for 30 mins straight non-stop. Who does that? Anyone who plays knows that's near impossible. Just the band and the crowd - More energy than lights and pyro could ever create.

wmw999 2,122 #286 June 4, 2023 I’m really sorry to hear about your loss, Cory; that’s so tough, and changes your life into a new, and not always welcome, one. Metallica somehow never did it for me; it’s like a Rothko or Pollock painting. I can tell the talent, I know it’s all deliberate and people find it meaningful and beautiful, but it just doesn’t speak to me somehow. But, old and corny as it is, this song (pre-videos) does always send me: Wendy P. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean that inamorata video was just creepy and depressing. It was a strange day, and I don't think I want to entertain that side of my personality anymore moving forward. Much of their stuff over the last 25 years doesn't even speak to their die-hard fans from the early 80s. Guess I just find their persistence inspiring. Tho I appreciate a broad spectrum of talent, I haven't really been a fan of music over the last 10 years or so - it's either bad memories or good memories from a life that's no more. (tho classic rock never seems to get old for me when I hear it at family BBQs - stuff like CCR and Bob Seager, etc.) My personal playlist now primarily consists of stock music I'd use for commercial advertisements I've made in the past, lmao. There's stuff to fill every mood and they have no lyrics, so you can just let it take you wherever you want. Anyway, thanks for the condolence. Take care.

riggerrob 558 #289 June 5, 2023 Dear wmwm999 and Coreece, I have a theory that your taste in music is defined when you are a teenager or young adult. Your hearing is most acute during your teen and early adult years. After that, the "music" parts of your brain get re-purposed for other learning. Some philosopher said: "It is the duty of every new generation to rile their parents with their taste in music, clothes, etc." I see every new generation struggling to invent a new genre of music distinct from their parents' taste in music: blues, jazz, big band, swing, rockabilly, rock-and-roll, British Blues Invasion, folk, blue grass, disco, new age, progressive rock, heavy metal, speed metal, thrash metal, Mongolian folk-metal, indie, etc. For example, Sugar Hill Gang debuted circa 1979, after I was 22 year sold. While I enjoy SHG's light-hearted brand of hip-hop, I just don't get most rap introduced after that. Too much rap music sounds like "angry young man" music and I was past that phase of my life by the time that gangsta-rap became mainstream music. I did not grow up in a crime-ridden, poor neighborhood, so have trouble relating to most rap lyrics. Sorry folks, but I am old and boring. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your hearing is most acute during your teen and early adult years. After that, the "music" parts of your brain get re-purposed for other learning. I suppose that could be true for most, especially the last part, maybe - I don't know. As a child (0-12) I grew up on my parents classic rock (Zeppelin, Fleetwood, Hendrix, Beatles, CCR, Seger, Jay Giles, The Stones etc, etc, etc. . .) And that has always remained deeply ingrained within my heart. At 13 I started to add early 90s grunge/alternative to the mix (PJ, Nirvana, Alice, Sound Garden) but then I heard Metallica's black Album and that was it. For the next 8 years though H.S and College it was all pretty much metal at the forefront. After that it kind of lost it's appeal, tho I still appreciated it. I down-graded to Godsmack for awhile and that was pretty much it for Metal. I still have my moments, but they're few and far between. I guess having a kid at 21 would do that to you. ( He recently graduated from Bucknell btw and is a software engineer for MITRE - totally into classic rock too! And I don't think it's genetic.) Bottom line is that nothing beats 60s-70s rock and never will. It reigns supreme and will continue to resonate with a wide audience for generations to come. . . (I'm trying to think of the best classic rock song ever to post, but that's impossible. So I'll just play the first song that I ever learned on the drums at 13. Wish I could find the tape - It's gotta be at my parent's house, somewhere.) "We've done four already but now we're steadyAnd then they went: One, two, three, four" Singing in the sunshine, laughing in the rainHitting on the moonshine, rocking in the grainGot no time to pack my bags, my foots outside the doorI got a date, I can't be late, for the high hopes hailla ball, uh uh, uh uh, yeah Singing to an ocean, I can hear the ocean's roarPlay for free, I play for me and play a whole lot more, more!Singing about the good things and the sun that lights the dayI used to sing on the mountains, has the ocean lost its way I don't know, oh oh, yeah' Ooh, yeah Sitting round singing songs 'til the night turns into dayUsed to sing about the mountains but the mountains washed awayNow I'm singing all my songs to the girl who won my heartShe is only three years old and it's a real fine way to start Oh yeah! It sure is fine!Ah blow my mind!When the tears are goin' down!Yeah! Yeah, yeah Oh so, oh so, oh so good!Oh so good!
