"Long Cool Woman in a Black Dress" - The Hollies

Some things just keep getting better with age ;)
Oh yea, this song too. Going old school here.

"You're Going Down" - Sick Puppies

This is a really cool song that came out this year. Listen to that opening bass riff, sweet.

Kenny Wayne Shepherd "Blue On Black" Live

If you've never heard of Kenny Wayne Shepherd, you're missing out on one great guitarist. This particular song is one of my favorites by him.

Excerpt from Wikipedia: Kenny Wayne Shepherd (born Kenny Wayne Brobst, on June 12, 1977, Shreveport, Louisiana[1]) is an American blues guitarist, singer, and songwriter. He has released several studio albums and experienced a rare level of commercial success both as a blues artist and a young musician.[2] In 1997, Guitar World ranked Shepherd #3 after B.B. King and Eric Clapton on their list of popular blues artists.[3]

Eric Clapton - Layla (Unplugged).avi

I don't know about you, but I'm in the mood for a little slow hand.
Clapton just exudes passion for music.

Apocalyptica featuring Corey Taylor - "I'm Not Jesus"

Here is a great tune from Apocalyptica.

"Hard Sun" by Eddie Vedder

You ever just have a song hit you a certain way? I have not heard this in at least a year and just had the urge to listen to it. It just goes right through you, I don't know how to explain it, though I tried.

Tool - "Sober" [hq - fullscreen]

How do you pick one song from a group when you like so many? Decisions, decisions. This has always been a favorite of mine and one that turned me into a Tool fan.

I've always been about the music, but there is something incredibly intriguing about this video that I absolutely love. The stop-motion, lighting, camera angles, and visuals, combine to give a fascinating, yet eerie performance. As always it helps to be accompanied by a great song.

Hey all

Just wanted to let you know that I have added all the past music picks from my Internal Pathways To Contention blog, over to the music player play list.

Soundgarden - "Burden In My Hand"

I've always been a big Soundgarden fan, actually anything with Chris Cornell at the helm is usually good. This is one of their less heavy, but very catchy, tunes.

Avenged Sevenfold - "Bat Country" (Video)

A good heavy one for a shitty Monday morning. Enjoy

Seether- "Hang On"

As you know I'm a huge Seeter fan, I really just love this song.

Candlebox - "You" (Live)

Another great band from the 90's, Candlebox had some great breakout hits, including this one.

Stone Sour - "Bother" & "Through The Glass"

Believe it or not, this is the same lead singer of the band Slipknot, along with some other members. This has always been his side project predating Slipknot, and this band really shows his range as a singer and songwriter.

A great song.



What the hell, I'll put up "Through The Glass" as well. Enjoy

Mudvayne - "World So Cold"

Make no mistake, these guys are hard core. I have one of their albums and it is for the serious metal/thrash fan only. This is a softer side of them if you can believe that. This was the song that drew my attention to them.

Cage The Elephant - "Ain't No Rest For The Wicked"

This song hit the scene sometime last year. Its a very catchy and cool tune that I like a lot.

Flyleaf

Flyleaf fiasco this weekend. Click to read about the ass hat that let me down.

Finger Eleven - Paralyzer

Another really cool song, unfortunately another disappointment of an album, its the only good song on there in my humble opinion.

Cinderella - Gypsy Road

I'll give you another one of my 80's favorites for the weekend. Cinderella is just one of those great bluesy sounding bands. I had the chance to see them a few years ago, opening for Poison, they put Poison to shame.

Five Finger Death Punch- Bad Company

I have to put this up now, especially after SoccerMom mentioned it to me.  I heard it a few weeks ago and it is a great remake of a great classic.  The video is also a great show of troop support from the band, going overseas to provide some well deserved entertainment.

Also seems fitting for 9/11

Violent J "Yellow Brick alleyway"

And now for something completely different...

A friend of mine turned me on to this guy. This album is a stoner's take on The Wizard Of Oz, if you ever have a chance to hear it beginning to end, its definitely worth it. This particular song always had me rolling just because of the chorus. This song picks up as his house just landed in Oz after the storm.

P.S. Don't have any kids around listening to this. Have a good laugh.
