If there is one thing I have learned, it's that music truly is the most universal language in the world. Besides myself looking for yet another excuse to post anything at all or just a good one to post music videos, I would like everyone here to feel free to post links to some of your favorite tunes and/or talk about what you like to listen to. Consider this thread your very own little "House of Blues" as it were.

Anyway as for an opening post, I had some difficulty trying to think of a good opener, a nice ice breaker everyone may enjoy, and well I came up with this. Enjoy.

Disclaimer:
Everyone has their own likes & dislikes which includes their listening preferences so please no badmouthing or cruel banter because somebody enjoys a certain type of music or band you may not. There is plenty of song to go around, be nice.

Just finished up my 3 week vacation of 10 concerts

Metallica...4 times including Linkin Park, Korn, and over 100 bands at the Sonic Temple Music Festival

AC/DC

Pearl Jam

Billy Idol/Joan Jett

Staind/Breaking Benjamin

 

Very nice time...Expensive but very nice and relaxing....Finally got to experience locked up lego for the first time in all my experiences.....Hasn't happened yet in my neck of the woods but i'm sure at some point it will

I would love to see AC/DC one more time.  I last saw them at the Monsters Of Rock 5, 1984, Castle Donington, UK.  That's been so long ago that Van Halen was one of the opening bands and still had David Lee Roth with them.  But I have trouble coming off the coin.  I did spend a few $$ to see Blue Oyster Cult last week.  I also wished that I could see The Who's final tour but again....coinage.  How was Billy Idol?

Him and Joan Jett were amazing....Planning on seeing them again Labor Day Weekend in Noblesville IN

And AC/DC was off the charts....Angus plays today like he did 40-50 years ago

 

I've only been to one concert in my life ... saw AC/DC at Ford Field a few years back and it was amazing.

 

 

 

 

Another day another concert......Had the honor of seeing the legendary Heart tonight with the great Ann and Nancy Wilson

Ann can barely get around these days but my god she damn near still has the voice as she did 40-50 years ago

 

Producer, Composer Lyricist: Brian Wilson RIP

And forgot to mention in the previous post of mine.....RIP to the  great Sly Stone

 

 

 

 

I'll show my age here.  I'd imagine that most of you youngsters have never heard of Jungle Jim or Jungle Pam.

I read about Russell James Liberman a bit through some of my father's hot rod magazines as a child, and being mentioned by a motorcycle drag racer as his inspiration. ( Can't remember the racer, only that it was on one of the EasyRiders video magazine VHS tapes from early 90s. )

I can recall some of the pictures with Pamela Hardy standing beside the different "Jungle Jim" funny cars. Thanks to your post, I discovered she very recently was inducted into the International Drag Racing Hall of Fame. Far out.

Ha!  You may question my choice of music but not my variety.  The local Performing Arts Center just put tickets for the coming year on sale.  The ones that I picked: Cheap Trick, The Commodores, Marshall Tucker Band, Wayne Newton and The Atlanta Pops Orchestra.  I also picked up Geoff Tate tickets at a different venue.  it was an expensive week!

I'm more of a Black Sabbath fan than Ozzy but I mourn his loss.
