    Yeah, it was a live version with decent sound quality. I was just talking about how CCR's version > Tina Turner's.

    And get some speaker's bro', that's insane that you spend so much time on the computer but don't have them... [​IMG] [​IMG]

    [​IMG] I agree - I don't know how I haven't got 'em yet. I guess I'm so used to not having 'em, I don't miss 'em [​IMG]

    I really though that the acoustic guitar parts where great, but that the first part of the song after the beginning was boring and bland.

    Er... that video was like 2-3 pages back. [​IMG]

    I'll rate RATM's KITNO real quick though.

    A-

    Overplayed and overrated lyrics. Like a lot of de la Rocha's lyrics, these had the right intentions behind them but were ultimately shallow for lyrics that are often considered deep. I'm sure it got a lot of people my age at the time to think and motivated them towards political and/or social action at the time though, and for that I give it the grade I did.

    Anyway, here's my video again -

    Ignore this guy's video, but listen to the song. It was the only quality recording of it that I could find.

    Smashing Pumpkins - Drown

    Damn that video sucked ass, he had some nice scenery pictures and video footage goin', but then he put up pics of friends and himself and some other crap.

    Smashing Pumpkins - Drown - B

    Chicago's own .. no .. Elk Grove Village's own .. no .. Joliet's own .. no .. Ok Chicagoland's own Smashing Pumpkins rockin' with this track! Yeah, that's it. Not my favorite track, but the verses are nice. The chorus flows in without much notice, that's what prevents the higher score for me.

    Next song comes from Dredg again. From their somewhat "sell out" album comes truthfully the only truly great song on it. I love the slide guitar work as always and then the piano being played by Dino (the drummer) at the same time is always a blast to see. Great bass too.

    Dredg - Bug Eyes

    Haha. Yup, he's kind of good. He's coming around to my little nook in June for a festival, so I'll go see that.

    Fuel - C+ The vocals were good, and the guitar was all right, but I just wasn't feeling the song that much.

    It was good, uptempo. A good pump up song. Nothing really stood out, but nothing was terribly bad, either.

    Jimi Hendrix - Fire - A

    Good track from Jimi, as always in any video you see him in he's just so casual with the guitar. Like it is a part of his body. That's the type of love for the guitar that most current generation guitarist don't have. One of the most inspirational songs of all-time right there for guitarists that still try to install solos into their music.

    New song is from Stellastarr*. Great band, still not getting the respect they deserve.

    The music and lyrics were absolutely beautiful, especially the music. It was somewhat hypnotizing, I got lost in it. The only thing that held this song down for me was the voice of the singer, I wasn't too fond of it.

    After watching the Grammy's, I've got to post a RHCP song, their latest single.

    B+. Not my favorite of Stadium Arcadium, but still a great song. As always, love Frusciante's guitar work.

    Pardon Me - B

    This is about the point where Incubus started to go downhill unfortunately, but I loved this song when it first came out. It's just been so overplayed over the years that I've gotten really bored with it.

    New Song:

    The Beatles - Eleanor Rigby

    It's the Beatles, what's there not to like! I like this, it's from the movie Yellow Submarine that I have yet to see in its entirety. Good song, one of my favorites of theirs. My pick...

    Deep Purple - The Mule [Live]

    Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the song and the stage presence that Deep Purple had, but this song isn't A material from me simply because I'm not a drum fanattic. It's got an undeniably great solo --- just my not the kind of thing I personally like to listen to. I'm sure a lot of other people on this forum who comprehend the drums (because I admittedly don't fully) will enjoy it more.

    New Song:

    (It's a short instrumental, but it's amazing. Possibly the greatest instrumental I've heard to date.)

    That was absolutely beautiful, very emotion packed. To me, the instruments gave off the notion that it was a very dramatic, painful instrumental, absolutely brilliant.

    Let me find a video.
