The Haunted - Trespass

Essential thrash from one of the bests.

Some early Ministry came up on an '80s Alternative' channel on Accuradio, which put me in the mood …

Thanks for bringing this guy back on the front scene ! I listen to Us and So from time to time and wonder why I never bought his other albums ! I've loved his musical style since Genesis and he never deceived.
From your selection it's No Self Control I've always liked the most.

Ah, Mark King… and Lvl42 ; such an underrated band ! I've always felt it was a band having such an unexploited talent. Their albums always left me with the impression of an unfinished job ; that feeling they could achieve so much more but never quite reached their maximum. I'm unable to sort out what was going wrong though and that'll always remain one of the most frustrating band I've ever loved

The vid isn't currently viewable (at least from here) so as I do not know this Band, I've watched The Dark instead… and loved it ! Excellent production and an intriguing voice. The video clip is average but I like the song

Blazing the way for the likes of acts like Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, etc….

Strange but oh so hypnotising

I remembered how brilliant she was when I read the Peter Gabriel - Melt - post a few back by Thrasher

Understand. It's probably more of a developed taste, as the first time I found them freaky. The first two below were accessible from the get go for me, but still odd and intriguing. I Don't Remember is good too. Check out some weirdness in the video…

Games without Frontiers
And Through the Wire
I Don't Remember (with accompanying bizarre very early music video)

Oh my, that takes me back. Truly another extremely talented (and eccentric) genius. Mesmerizing without a doubt. Watching the rest of that later when I can focus on it.

I lost my homemade best of Kate Bush CD to a thief as well as the source wave files I had manually cleaned up the pops and noise on, and have been in mourning ever since.

I have a hard time picking a favorite of mine from her work, but this one's just incredibly haunting. Nothing really beats it for me for raising the hair on the back of my neck. It's probably the memories, too…

Kate Bush - This Woman's Work

I posted that link to the BBC appearances on my Facebook page, then later posted "47:19…..stunning". 47:19 starts that same song live. So good. Gave me chills

And just like that you've hit on 2 of my 3 favorite songs of his (Games and Remember-although I haven't heard that version before and favor the pounding bassline of the more common version)… The other is a specific mix of In Your Eyes that was very common back in the day but never seems to get played anymore.

Did a little looking, and here's the version that I like:
radio edit
I imagine it's the fact that it's a radio edit that it's faded away and been replaced with the album version. I'm not sure why I find the ending of this one so much better than the album version. It just works for me. That bass vocal works. The African chant works better. The extra verse works. I don't know.

This live version of I Don't Remember has a lot more punch, too. I really like all of them, of course.

Old man Peter Gabriel, but he still sounds fantastic, and with the orchestra its phenomenal. Another of my favorites of his

"San Jacinto" - New Blood Orchestra- Live in London

After a day full of Kate Bush, and before getting sucked back into the prog rock / Peter Gabriel scene, I listened to the "Rainbow - Live in Japan 1984" concert, of which, for me, this is the highlight. Ritchie Blackmore Tears.It.The.F.Up in this one

Rainbow - Spotlight Kid

Did anyone catch this, um, less than stellar performance? Ouch….

Van Halen "Dance The Night Away" on Jimmy Kimmel Live!

Apparently prior to this, Diamond Dave popped himself in the nose and had to get 14 stitches, then came back out to sing again. Still guys, thats really rough lol

I think I can miss that.

Yeah … I saw a couple of minutes and it was pretty horrific.

OK, couldn't resist, also couldn't turn it off quickly enough.

And another goodie

Peter Gabriel - Digging in the Dirt

One more. Loving this orchestral rendition of "The Intruder" for some reason.
Starts almost exactly at the 1 hour mark. Spooky! The rest is great too, BTW. Thanks Nukester!

Peter Gabriel Live In Verona Taking The Pulse

and now for something quite a bit different…

Lou Reed - Solsbury Hill (Peter Gabriel Cover)
