And not to sound like an old man (because I am not) or say something my day used to say when I was young but... music today is absolutely horrible
 
Yes I use to bang my head. Probably why I'm the way I am and can't hear worth a toot.
Still crank it up every now and then but have mellowed with age.
 
Channel 4 for 40's or 37 for Octane

Personally, it is either 40's music or heavy metal::eek:

Listening to Gene Krupa, Billie Holliday, Andrews Sisters, Glen Miller, etc. helps me to write music that I morph into something more along the lines of:

Disturbed
Slipknot
Mushroomhead
Tool
Pantera
Meshugga
Lamb of God
Berzerker
Killswitch Engage
Mastadon
Scorpions
Bon Scott AC/DC
early Metallica

Ahhh... music that kills the living and wakes the dead.

12+ years of performing live, not drinking, has had some interesting results on my tastes...:rolleyes:
 
It's fashionable to say that you'll listen to anything. Well, I'm not fashionable. I took my nine years of piano lessons as a kid, playing Bartok and Rachmaninoff and Debussy and Bach. I went to recitals to hear kids play violin or sing, and I've been to the symphony orchestra. I've heard rap, hip-hop, whatever passes for pop today, country, western, bluegrass, polka, and many forms of jazz.

I like heavy metal and hard rock, and it's just about the only thing to which I'll listen. Even as I write this I'm dulling my hearing with Motley Crue's greatest hits. Queenryche and Dream Theater often rock my ear canals and I've taken to seeing Dream Theater at least once per year lately.

Now, here's a real confession: I'm a Winger fan. You know, the band that got mocked on Beavis and Butthead because Stuart wore won of their shirts? You knew there were Winger fans out there and now you know one of them. In 2007 the band got together to tour in support of Winger IV. They came to the Alrosa Villa in Columbus (where Dimebag was shot) and me and 300-ish of my closest friends got to hear one of our favorite bands rock our faces off for a couple hours. Kip was sober and they were at the beginning of the tour. It was like he sucked us all in that day and I have never had a show like it before or after. I get chills just thinking about it. Reb Beach's guitar rattled my brain; Rod Morgenstein's drums shook my backside; and Kip's vocals nearly brought tears to me eyes.

They opened with my favorite Winger song: Blind Revolution Mad. And then it got better and better.

I love rock n' roll. At 41, I don't think it's a phase...

My son used to take guitar lessons here in a small town in MS. The guy that taught lessons looked familiar, but I never could place him.. Finally it dawned on me, he was lead guitarist for winger (John Roth) :) He lived there because it was close to memphis & his mom lived nearby..

So do you still sport a mullet?

Would that I could grow enough hair for one!

I grew up in a small town up by Wichita Falls, and was fed a diet of nothing but Country Western.
Imagine my surprise when I got my very own transistor radio on my 12th birthday and found a radio station out of Oklahoma City (KOMA) that played something other than Hank Williams.
Creedence, Beach Boys, et al... it was a revalation that changed my life.
 
All the speakers are blown in my truck. Livin After Midnight came on the radio as I rolled into Kroger. A dude about my age yelled PRIEST, and now my usual country music fare comes through all fuzzy and broken.
