Dead Bodies is still the best live song. I almost died when they played it at the show I went to.

The Misfits - Day The Earth Caught Fire

And the final gig of the year is.... Enter Shikari!

My goodness it has been a great year for live music. There have been so many great bands I've managed to see for the first time and hope to see again and again. To name a few; Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rammstein, Bloc Party, Billy Talent, Rancid, NOFX, I'm sure there's a couple I've forgotten along the way. If anyone out there hasn't experienced a band they love live, I implore you - find a way to go see them, you will NOT regret it! I'm not saying you need to be the first one in the mosh pit or that one dude that crowd surfed for more than 30 seconds (a'yup ), but to know you've shared the night with them and the crowd is very fulfilling.

Anyway, Enter Shikari. This will be the third time I've seen Rou, Rob, Roy and Chris tear it up, and definitely not the last!

I neeeeeeeed to go there! Apparently there are three locations all in California, and they're the biggest record stores on the west coast.
I would be in heaven.

Symphonic metal band from Ukraine

King Diamond - Christmas

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYM7UZclvOI

but to put this song in the proper context, you have to listen to the full "The Puppet Master" album to get its part in the full story the album tells.

King Diamond - The Puppet Master

A good scary story in music form just for the holidays and one of my favorite albums.

Reflections - An Artifact

Really nice modern progressive metal with crazy guitar stuff.

Dark Confessions - Biohazard

Listening to The Who's Tommy.
You know Tommy, he's the pinball wizard.

It's Christmas time, so I think you'll like this

Tarja Turunen - Henkäys Ikuisuudesta

Big Brother and the Holding Company with Janis Joplin - Ball and Chain Live at the Monterey International Pop Festival.
One of the most amazing performances, IMO.
This festival was the one that launched her career, along with Jimi Hendrix and The Who (first time Jimi, and The Who, played in America).

THe Dillinger Escape Plan: Farewell Mona- Lisa
The more I hear these guys the more I'm falling in love with them. Such an awesome unique sound. I got a copy of this album for christmas and this is probably my favorite track on it so far.

2 Wolves - Metropolis Metro

Industrial metal from Finland.

The Captains Intangible - Any Other Way

Title song from the film "Diary of the Dead" by George A. Romero.

So, I only recently found out that Lee Dorman, bassist and vocals of Iron Butterfly, passed away on the 21st.
Here's their 1968 hit In-A-Gadda-Da-Vidda

I've really been loving music by the Civil Wars lately. Check this song out, it's beautiful. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfzRlcnq_c0

Another CKY song - Rio Bravo

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsK0DasGvLU

One more for the road.

I posted a new song on SoundCloud called Absolution. Check it out and tell me what you guys think! ^^

Just cool, nothing more to say

Dude, just checked out all your stuff on there and I love it. Guitar driven songs are awesome, even though I'm not much a guitarist myself.

Radio Blue Heart wrote:Gogol Bordello - Tribal Connection

I think its official, this is my new favorite forum. Never thought I'd find someone who knew Gogol Bordello on here. I'm such a sucker for gypsy jazz and the variations thereof. Like this particular rendition of "Minor Swing."

I honestly didn't know it was possible to shred like that on an acoustic guitar.

Wow dude, just... wow!
Those where just amazing, I especially loved that last one "As Rain Falls", beautiful work Alastair!

Oh my gosh thank you! Glad you liked my stuff! Hopefully I can get more songs posted soon.
And I also appreciate the watch on SoundCloud! The support is much appreciated!

Loving this sweet music Alastair, please keep with it - wouldn't be surprised to see you pop up somewhere in the world of music

The Absolution intro sounds a bit like Billy Talent in terms of tone and tempo, heard of them?

Thanks Bassist! I'm glad you like my songs!

And Billy Talent? The name sounds familiar, but I'm not sure if I know any of their work.
