Question

The Music Thread

Share some of your favorite songs, artists, ideas, creations, etc.

Here's mine...


I'm a huge fan of The Metal but I think I'll start with some of my legendary, less angry, favorites.

Probably my favorite band of all time across all genres is Primus. I've seen them live twice, and I've seen Les Claypool live in his solo act once.

It all started with "Jerry was a Race car driver"

For those who don't know Les, fun fact: he once audition for Metallica and they denied him based solely on the fact that he is far too damn good for them.

I've seen tons of bands live (Slayer, Megadeth, Sepultura, Napalm Death, Cannibal Corpse, Korn, System of a Down, Pantera, Slipknot, Lamb of God - to name a few). But Primus is the band that showed me first hand the largest mosh pit I've ever seen, and it was to this mighty cute song:

A few thousand people went ape shit at the 1:37 mark.


I hold in high regard just about everything Claypool releases; if I had to pick a favorite song it is simply, Here Come The Bastards

    This latest stuff from @Phaserlight and @YoLolo69 made me think of my favorite female artist, Azam Ali. I own at least 4 of her albums, and I must admit I am mildly obsessed with this woman.

    It all started when I accidentally clicked on a YouTube link that played this song:

    Anyone who has watched the movie, 300, has heard Azam's voice:

    She's an absolute badass through and through, and was selected by my favorite guitar player, Buckethead, to appear in a song alongside Serj from System of a Down. The 3 of these legends made a killer track:

    And while on the topic of Buckethead... my first post in this thread was about Primus. And they both have done a lot of work together:

    If you're new to Buckethead, his 1 minute 22 second solo has nearly 3 million views:

    But I digress,

    This is my number 1 favorite Azam Ali song, and probably my favorite female artist song of all time:

    I'm happy to introduce folks to Azam. She has a very powerful impact on anyone who values world music and hypnotic rhythms. Not to mention that her voice is borderline godlike (at least to me). I need to purchase more of her albums over the Holidays. She is one of those few artists whom I simply must own the entire music collection.

    i will have a look at her discography and where to pick some up.

    She sound perfect for setting up, flying around when you land at a red giant and everything feels too real

    Azam! Yes ... heard her a lot. I love middle eastern harmonies. They really play well on my ear.

    Not a problem posting multiple videos. But try editing your last post instead of making multiple back-to-back posts. It helps with the notifications.
