One more share. So this was another band from childhood. The first time I ever heard of Liverpool was because of this song. https://youtu.be/Zj7OJeyhq2Q
I remember remembering watching this religiously, but I hardly remember a thing about it. No music. Not that one anyway. There were books tho too, right? Ahh man! Stretching this tired old brain today! Oh, guess I lied. THIS is the last one!
Or that Billy Ocean song, for the first six months I thought the lyrics were "When you go and get stuffed, the stuff gets going, go and get stuffed, the stuff gets rough"
They dont make them like that anymore And that for some reason reminded me of a long forgotten rock masterpiece a decade earlier my dad always used to play when I was little Bohemian Rhapsody gets covered to death nowadays, but in that rock opera category I think this comes in second, but you never hear anyone cover it, such a pretty song http://youtu.be/C11MzbEcHlw
This was my first "grow up" album and I think I was like 12 or 13 when my mum took me to the store to get it. There was a sticker on it and it said that it had course language. Surprising she never said anything I don't even think she looked at it lol. Because I'd imagine unimpressed. It was a time where my folks would complain about everything I listen until I bring insane clown posse home, then, and only then, did the druggo head banging music become tolerable to them because quite clearly ICP wasn't.
This was a mix cd that I bought to listen to new heavy metal other than Metallica and Rob Zombie. Tbh it wasn't great but it did open up a brand new world to me that would in fact change my life considerably. Track 6 I believe, insane clown posse - terrible. And I hated it the first time I listened to it. What the hell is rap doing on a metal cd I thought and I looked at the photos and yeah, two gay ass clowns looking like KISS gayest shit ever. And I skipped that track for months until one day I listened to it, and beyond all the cursing which I also thought was whack, I actually really agreed with the message the song was producing and that was just how "terrible" people really are and so I bought into it all, I was using napster, download a few new songs until one day I went to buy a Sepultura album and they didn't have it I ask well what about this insane clown posse stuff? Yep they had an album. I took it home and my parents hated it, fuck this Fucken that fuck fuck fuck that's all they heard. Fucken fat bitches YO!! So the more they hated it well the more I enjoyed it. A week later I had a new ICP cd and that was that, my life changed for the best. The more I read into them the more I liked and I fit in too like it was totally up my alley and my sense of humor and I ain't never heard anything like this ever before on a cd it was totally far out there. Lol. All thanks to this complete shit Route 666 vol. 2 metal cd.
That was one song that I started to try to learn, but never did. I only played(tried playing) a couple of years(sports, work, and school work came first). (Edit: once again I didn't finish one thought before I moved on to the next - I wasn't great a sports or school, and I wish I'd stuck with playing guitar; or at least been able to play in addition to doing the other things). I still have the book I was learning it from...and one for The Wall also. Do you play a lot still? More childhood memory music... http://youtu.be/HQZBaJAngH8 http://youtu.be/rXPaEm-Y3Wg
Childhood would be stuff like Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins, Pat Benatar, The B-52's, stuff like that that my mom listened to. My teenage years were full of stuff like Hole, Veruca Salt, No Doubt, L7, Bikini Kill, stuff like that.
My sisters played this song CONSTANTLY! I can still hear them telling me, "Jude grow your hair out like Donny" in my sleep... I was like 10 or 11... I did dance around the living room a little with them I can't lie haha https://youtu.be/tbIEwIwYz-c
