WEEKEND LIVE - FRAMPTON COMES ALIVE Former Nashvillian Peter Frampton was the talk of the music world in the mid-1970's. I saw Frampton play at a concert a few months ago. The guy can handle his axe. He cut loose on several Humble Pie songs he played on over 30 years ago. Frampton Comes Alive is the live album of my youth. |

Pete Frampton - a brit bastard who lived in Nashvegas if I'm not mistaken. Humble Pie was a damned fine bar band. Handle his axe? WTF? Sheeeeeeesh............................... |

Frampton was is known as a fine guitar player. He is one of the more in-demand studio sessions players in music. |

studio musician in Nashvegas? Wow - now that is something out of the ordinary.. Anyway going back in time - back in the day when Frampton - Live was the album - would he have made the top 50 guitar slingers among his peers? Roy Buchanan thanks me for the props.. |

do you guys think that there are any "life changing" "albums" released these days. you hear people say that this or that album in their youth was very transformative. I guess I just don't think of Kanye or the rest of today's music being transformative. I know there is good music today, but it's hard to find sometimes, especially on the radio. |

My opinion is that today's music is all about angst, anger, and detachment. It lacks the beautiful love songs and rich harmonies that dominated the music scene during the 1950's, 60's, 70's, and 80's and some of the 90's. There is nothing remarkable to remember or that you want to remember in it. |

Some of todays popular music could be life changing; it could inspire you to move up from misdemeanor to a felony! |

ya need to expand your musical listening TUX. The difference appears to be you listen to radio - which you point out is limited. |

I listen to lots of music. Thats part of the reason behind the "best of or perfect album" stuff. Yes, the radio has shape a lot of what I prefer. I was a AOR listener growing up. As you can undoubtedly tell, I am into guitar rock. That is what I was addressing in regards to modern music and what it is lacking today. |

I've heard a lot of talk about Fleet Foxes being rich in vocal harmonies a la The Beach Boys...Pet Sounds, but truth is they suck. I liked some of the guitar rock in the 90s and I love The Libertines...their song Horror Show IS guitar rock for me. There is also a British guitarist named Patrick Walden who was just awesome on Babyshambles' first album called Down in Albion. The problem is Pete Doherty got taken over by Indie Angst kids as some sort of new age British Cobain. The greatest songwriter in modern history or some such shite. The problem is without Walden Babyshambles' second album sucked major wind instrument and Pete has now become an Amy Winehouse hanger on. There is good music out there...but it's mostly in the ambient and experimental genres. Not something you GNR types tend to rock out. |

His guitar sounded funny when he had that licorice thingy tied to his microphone in his mouth. Frampton did, does, and will always SUCK |

bwhahahahahahaha - thanks for the laugh tootsie.. "the prefect album sides" is a good example.. Listening to the radio - another one, AOR another.. There is only one way -and its called 'live"... Being into guitar rock - fine - if its modern music guitar players - well its easy for me to say you don't know crap about modern music guitar players.. All you have to do is stop in a local place - let me pick one the 'Continental Club" on S. Congress - on a Saturday afternoon. Free - won't cost you a dime. You'll see guys walking in with guitars slung over their shoulders - they'll walk up on stage - and being a old guitar rock/Pete Frampton kinda guy - will do a "who are these guys?" I see you've posted something about the 'loosiana kid KWS - who tells the story over and over again about sittin' on a speaker watchin' SRV. Ask him sometime, and yes he is a very approachable kid, about one of his mentors Bryan Lee. Or David Holt, David Grissom, Doyle II, Smokin' Joe, the Professor Freeman, Charlie Sexton etc. All these guys blow your "addressing in regards to modern music and what is lacking today" off the stage.. |

Texie to each his own. You enjoy hillbilly/blues music and I enjoy a more rock/blues sound. You laugh at some of the music I like and I scratch my head at some of the music you like and ask WTF? There's plenty of music for all of us to enjoy. |

rock/blues? Guess you didn't recognize any of those guitar slingers... It figures all hunkered down listenin' to AOR in Nashvegas. I don't laugh its great that folks like yourself support corporate canned music - as well as pay good money to here the old guys playin' the sheds during the summer.. The upside - I've been playin' music - thus understanding my lack of talent - since the 60's. In fact one of my guitars "came" home" after spending close to 4 years on the road with Eric Clapton. And my wish is I could play 10% as well as the guy who borrowed it.. Ya think II played any of that "blues/rock" sounding stuff over the last 4 years? blues/rock sound? When you were whinin' about lyrics? WTF. the Dickinson brothers send their regards. |
