The whole "Cosmic Egg" album is actually orgasmically brilliant.
Andrew Stockdale is the last guardian of proper hard rock.
Me?!

"60's italian music with an orchestra"?!?
He's taking the p*ss with that surely?! Surely?!
Oh Mike Patton. Mike, Mike Patton.

Actually that totally came out last year and was totally awesome and I totally have a signed copy of it. Totally.
Mondo Cane
What do you think of Alter Bridge? They're a pretty current band that records fairly straight hard rock.

Being a fan of Mike Patton I enjoy music that tries to do too much at once, in that respect Alter Bridge seem almost restrained to me
To be honest mate, you haven't been the first person to reccommend them to me.
I think they're good at what they do and I can see where they're coming from in their approach to records, but I think they try to cover too broad a spectrum of sounds without really excelling in any. Like, some of the vocal melodys can go a bit too country and western for my taste but then some of their other work is tuned down power chord riffage and then something that knocks on the door of being AOR. I feel like I should like them a lot more than what I actually do, and I'm trying to figure out what it is that I find offputting about them.
Blackbird's a good tune though.

Oh don't get me wrong, I do like textured and multi layered stuff. That's not why I don't really take to Alter Bridge, it's more that I feel like they dip their toes into too many genres without ever overly impressing or making it their own in terms of a "sound". They just seem a bit...directionless?
Yeah, Mike Patton, he's an odd 'un. The last thing I heard about him was a rumour that he was going to be the new frontman for Velvet Revolver - how would you feel about that?!

Have you listened to any of AB's newest album? It's supposed to be their best.
Quote: Charles D*ckens, Jan 2011Really? That's very interesting...not sure quite how I feel about it. I guess the Faith No More reunion might have reignited any passion he had for being in a band and touring as one of the guys rather than 'the guy' and being involved in a more collaborative group thing. But if that was the case why didn't FNM just stay together? VR's current sound is a bit too...straight for Patton, even FNM were bonkers when they were at their most mainstream. Though the first two Tomahawk albums are fairly restrained...man I don't know. I love VR and I 'LOVE' Patton but would they work together? Would they bring out the best in Patton? I guess I'd love to see.Quote: Bob Flapper, Jan 2011

The first album is totally brilliant but I never really dug the second.
Last year I saw Slash solo and Stone Temple Pilots with Scott on the same day so I'm calling that as having seen them

Yeah, the second half of the second album never really interested me.
And since we're meant to be posting tunes:
And one from the Snakepit
