Barking Spiders

whatever the manufacturer put on

two that come to mind instantly, that went into agriculture.. #Terminator X left Public Enemy to go into ostrich farming Big Martin, ex Faith No More guitarist is a pumpkin farmer

Novelty songs don't bother me one little bit so I cant get upset by Star Trekking, Agadoo, Birdy Song etc. I also can't get too worked up over X Factor fluff, boy bands, Bieber etc as they're usually shortlived and soon forgotten. Nope my loathing is reserved for rock 'classics' that continue to pollute airwaves decades after they were first released. Top of the list; Give It Away & By The Way (RHCP), Don't Stop Believing (Journey), Love Is A Battlefield (Pat Benatar), I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing & Crying & Pink (Aerosmith), Shiny Happy People (REM), Heat of The Moment & Wildest Dreams (Asia), Strutter & Calling Dr Love (Kiss), New Years Day & With Or Without You (U2), You Give Love A Bad Name & Living On A Prayer (Bon Jovi). And one that doesn't quite fit it... Bo Selecta!!

I've no shame in admitting I like and still have Limp Bizkit's first three albums and enjoy much derided debut albums from 80s synth poppers like Fashion, Flock of Seagulls, Wang Chung and Re-Flex. I also prefer Metallica's Load and Reload to their thrash stuff and have lots of time for Stone Temple Pilots first three. From the UK 90s the only 'Britpop' album I like is Kula Shaker's debut.

and how it's originally played [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuTaM5eTVeo"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuTaM5eTVeo[/url]

One of my fave basslines ever. Dunno why it took me so long to YT it.

Gotta second and third the first two Oasis albums. Very simple songs + dull vocals + barely competent playing = the formula for finding massive chart success in Britain.

Ever since I was a teen and 30 years down the line I've still not found a really good bunch of people who wanna play the kind of stuff I do i.e. a mashup of funk, hip hop, world music and electronica with a major emphasis on the party vibe. So I've mostly just depped on and off. Not wholly satisfying but it helps stop you from rusting away

I've been playing 6 stringers for 30 years and am teaching my 10 year old daughter and a few others and swear by justinguitar.com. I've checked out many online /You Tube tutors and for my money he's the best, particularly for beginners. They all find his tutorials and books really helpful. He's a Brit too.

Cant get my ears around Muse either though the mrs loves them. It's the histrionic vocals that turn me off though the bass work is good. Often I'll check out a so-called classic with an open mind and ears. Occasionally I'll readily acknowledge something as being good but not my bag. More often than not I'm left thinking Wtf???!!! Most recently I gave Exile On Main Street and the first Led Zep albums each a coupla goes. All I hear, however, is sloppily played, second hand blues jams. The last album I heard which I think deserves its rep, but which isn't my thing at all, is Rumours.

If I was in a gleefully malicious mood I'd enjoy doing some Sunn O))) type of drone metal for a wind up or 2 Unlimited's No Limits. I actually like it but know many who hate it.

Viz Remain Light I think it's good but way behind the far superior Fear of Music

Agree with everything mentioned so far plus OK Computer, Kid A... - one paced, depressing, badly sung barrel scraping bilge the entire output of the RHCP- one of those bands truly loathe Appetite for Destruction - 5th rate Aerosmith (who are utter sh1te BTW) chock full of every hair metal cliche already done better by Motley Crue etc Sergeant Pepper - tedious, sprawling and often twee Hotel Californiaaaaaarrgh every acclaimed Stones album - badly sung, messily played, repetitive... Every rated U2 album - spectacularly mediocre writing and musicianship all Led Zep - lumpen, stodgy, repetitive, plagiarised owt by Dylan - wrote some fine tunes........performed by others

Don't care for Rush meself and dont really know the song but it' clear this fella has pulled it off nicely.

Generally don't like them at all I'm afraid although Hush is great

News to me! Yep, hope their injuries aren't serious as I'm deffo a fan, well of the first half dozen albums anyway. Dave Garibaldi is a major influence on my drumming and with Rocco Prestia formed one of the best rhythm sections..in any genre.

I'm a massive fan of most things Ninja Tune and am rather partial to JJ meself. You might also like to check out Polish alt jazzers Skalpel, also of Ninja Tune

'Leftism' by Leftfield. 20 years on and still the one album I can play without skipping tracks

On an obvious note Barber's Adagio For Strings gets me all choked up as does the first few minutes of this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSRYvYN1ayw

Viz this fame chat me and the family happened to be among the crowd in Leicester Square last summer where the premiere of some Star Trek film was. My missus and girls like this stuff, recognising all the thesps strolling by. The only face and name I knew was Simon Pegg and that's only because I love Spaced. I relish being an out of touch old f*rt. As for musicians are there any who are truly famous, beyond their constituencies?

IMO Talking Bass should be much higher than #35. Best tuition site I've come across, the way it's laid out, the structure of the tutorials. Mark's easy to follow explanations and his delivery plus he's a top player.

Bloke at the back punters ignore

I'm majorly into the golden age of hip hop from the late 80s to mid 90s and the instrumental hip hop /turntablism of acts like DJ Shadow and lots of stuff that came out on Ninja Tune e.g. Herbaliser, Blockhead. No too fussed on chart stuff of the last decade or so. The lyrics are'nt generally much cop and there isn't the imagination that you'd find on a Bomb Squad track

I play drums myself and TBH the live stuff wasn't too bad, certainly no worse than many in indie bands who pass themselves off as drummers. That type of drumming isn't particularly hard to play but I've heard a lot worse
