Just so I understand correctly, you like Kid Rock but think the Foo Fighters suck?
Wait forget the Foo Fighters for a second, you like Kid Rock???????
He's just like Limp Bisquit. Sounds like an 7th grader going through puberty wrote all his lyrics in his PE class locker room with some of his friends.
No disrespect towards you Killer but Kid Rock is a complete tool.

Other than that, Tony Joe White is from Oak Grove but he and his family went to church with the Hemphills in Bastrop. That was as talented a musical group you would ever see in a Pentecostal church.

John Wesley Riles - give "Kay" a listen....

Now you're just confusing me - when did Kid Rock join Tool?
Re: What are you listening to Today?
I started off with the Dalit Hymn from Caedmon's Call Share the Well. I would have listened to the whole cd, but the cd drive on my computer at work is so loud it kind of takes away from the music. Guess I'll fire up launchcast.

Guiss,
How about a little description of why you like what you are listening to? That goes for everyone else as well. A short review if you will.

Meshuggah - Future Breed Machine

Most people are going to HATE this song. It did not sound good to me the first dozen times I heard it. So why bother, right? Well, I like progressive music. I like Pink Floyd, King Crimson, Rush, Tool, Mars Volta...and so on. I like music that is complex in rhythm, structure, tonality, etc. Progressive bands sound better the more you listen to them. Some of the songs can seem chaotic, but the more you get used to it, the more you see the patterns.
Anyway, Future Breed Machine...
Guitars - love the tone. Scooped mid range to make it crunchy. He uses a 7 string guitar dropped half a step (I think). Most chords are 4 note power chords in which the root and fifth are played in two different octaves.
The guitars dictate the rhythm of this song. Guitarist uses a breath controller. This device allows him to control the amplitude of his guitar-to-amplifier signal with his breath. This works kind of like a volume pedal, but it creates a different type of attack. It can also be used to chop the notes to create a staccato effect. The first part of the song highlights this effect. It is kind of like playing a guitar and wind instrument together. Many wind-instrument techniques are employed throughout the song on the guitar.
Vocals - the part I could do without. They basically copy the rhythm laid out by the guitar and makes the song more aggressive.
Drums - typical Tomas Haake. He is basically the only reason I like this band. He plays a standard 2/4 or 4/4 on the cymbals and snare, and plays an odd rhythm (in some cases the same as the guitars) on the kick drum. It creates unique polyrhythms and time signature shifts. It is very impressive to me how these guys all stay on the same page when playing something that sounds this chaotic.
