<p>Was going to post this in the 'Awesome stuff you see on the Internet thread' but thought, fuck it, these guys are so good and I quite like it on its own merits, so why not here?</p>

<p>Boy there are some dryballs in that audience that just don't get it.</p> -
<p>I was listening to some Mingus last week, and was asked, "Is this Kenny G?"</p>

<p>I think this thread serves two purposes: to showcase new/lesser known stuff; or just to spur a few memories in people.</p>
</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This post is geared towards the second. Have started listening to Shihad again. Man do i love me some Shihad. I've seen them live, like, a lot, and they have never disappointed. They're a fucking great guitar band, not just for NZ, but in general. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>My favourite Shihad album is Killjoy, and this is my favourite track on that album (just, Bitter and Gimme Gimme are both rippers as well). </p>

Shihad...wow. One of my all time favs as well. Saw them a lot in my teens and often paid $5 for 5 bands at the power station on a Friday night and it shihad would be the main act. Sometimes you had the likes of head like a hole too, the dead flowers or pumpkin head and gad to pay $8 or 12 to get in. Good times.<br><br>
Fav shihad song would be It off Devolve ep. <br><br>

The other main music of my youth were the bands from the blue tile lounge up on k road. Being a shore boy, Nothing At All had a cult like following. These guys ripped shit up and a couple of years in a row clocked up 100gigs in the year. Even our own band did Nothing at all covers. Shit, nothing at all even played at my and tins school ball! Was a shame that Tony the lead singer passed away from cancer at a very young age.<br><br>
<br><br>
A couple of their classics<br><br>

Awesome. I had devolve on tape. Haven't heard that song in probably 20 years

<p>so, with my "i'm not really in to Pearl Jam" stance (a mix of everyone else my age considering them the greatest thing ever, and being more in to the Tool/Soundgarden/Faith No More side of things) i may have overlooked what a really excellent album "Vs" is. I randomly whacked it on over the weekend, and started thinking "shit, good song. shit good song. shit, another really good song" even "Daughter" doesn't suck as hard as i have always thought. I would consider it their best work (although that's only really out of two albums, and while "Ten" is good, it's pretty overrated). </p>
</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Anyway, i must have listened to "Dissident" about 20 times in the last couple of days. Eddie Vedder's vocal track on this song kicks ass. Here's a live version</p>

<p>I was into Pearl jam because everyone my age was waaaaaaaaaaaay into Nirvana and Nirvana didn't stand out from the pack to me, and still don't. Plus, I saw Pearl Jam at Mt Smart and I tend to think you appreciate bands more if you see them live.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I was a huge Faith No More fan, a Soundgarden fan (although their shit live performance at Big Day Out put a dent in my love for them) but never really got any value out of Tool.</p> -
<p>was that the PJ concert in '95? i went to that one just because all my friends did. it was pretty good, but still didn't convert me. </p>

<p>I'd assume so ... those years are all a bit fuzzy to me on the specifics, in my head I thought it was 94, but that might have been REM.</p> -

Was that the first BDO and Chris cornells mic just didn't want to work?<br><br>
I remember smashing pumpkins kickin ass at that gig. <br><br>
I was in to all the grunge bands back then, it was a pretty good time really.<br><br>
Saw faith no more play the Logan Campbell centre. Very classy band.
