fullcollapse Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 QUOTE(Capn12 @ Dec 31, 2006 -> 11:14 PM) Dallas Green, lead singer of alexisonfire, did a solo project last year under the name "City and Colour" named "Sometimes" Outstanding IMO if you just want to hear a guy and his acoustic guitar, that can really sing, andd hear music in its simplest form. Check it out if you get the chance. i like alexisonfire, so i'm going to check this out. when done right acoustic songs can be so incredible.

knightni Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 I'm so f***ing mainstream it's unbelievable. I've spent the last 10+ years cherry-picking used CD places and putting together enough music to start my own classic rock radio station. Sad huh?

Balta1701 Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 Billy Corgan has officially confirmed that there will be both a new Smashing Pumpkins Album and tour in 2007. Yahtzee! The one band I should have seen in the late 90s but never got the chance to... No word yet on who other than Billy and Jimmy Chamberlain will actually be playing with the band. But Hell, on a ton of Pumpkins stuff, those are the only 2 guys you hear anyway, because Corgan would re-record everyone else's stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Pumpkins lineup is one member shy of being the alt-rock equivalent of "Lonesome Dave's Foghat". No James + no D'arcy = no Pumpkins. How about they call themselves Corgalain? Or Jimbilly?

LosMediasBlancas Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 In similar news, rumors have it The Police plan a reunion tour.

They've had feelers out before for a reunion and passed on it. They can't be together for very long before they start hating each other again. I'm not sure what the bad blood is about, but it's weird to me that guys who have traveled the world together, realized a shared dream and made each other a lot of money in the process, could end up hating each other like they do.

The rumor started when their label said they were "planning something special" for the 30 year anniversary of their 1st record. Maybe they can bury the hate and hit the road in 08. Their first few records are classics.

Thanks for that recommendation. Some good stuff. QUOTE(Capn12 @ Dec 19, 2006 -> 06:02 AM) I'm in a definate minority here I'm sure, but right now I can't get enough of "A Beautiful Lie" by 30 Seconds to Mars. The track "From Yesterday" had me hooked from day one, before it hit the airwaves. I think the Leto brothers, and their pals made a great disc last year, one I listen to alot. They are god awful live, but the album is very good, imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 QUOTE(bmags @ Jan 7, 2007 -> 12:18 AM) i liked the first four. Siamese dream is real good. I think I am one of the few that really likes both Machina albums. I like how The Corgan Experience did something different in each album, and drifted into a more electronic sound. And he really knows how to build an album. The only problem I have with Corgan is his arrogance, but most of it is due to his talent with music. I think the reformation of the Pumpkins will be fun, but I doubt it will last too long. Kind of like when Janes Addiction reformed then broke up after making an album.
