I like stuff with interesting timing. I can't remember where I heard it but apparently Bill Bruford said, when asked if he would join Yes, that he would but only on the condition he didn't have to play 4/4. I've heard of Tool but not familiar with their music.
I love some of Tool’s stuff... especially when you suddenly notice influences in their music... I noticed some Iron Maiden touches when flicking between tracks a while ago, which surprised me... Tool’s “Schism” is a great place to start... bet you don’t get the count right first go with that one... but listen to the track and it’s smooth as silk, you don’t notice the timing changes.
Totally agree about Schism. Another band that is often away from 4/4 is Soundgarden, eg "Outshined" riff, "Fell on Black Days", "Spoonman",etc
And “fiddy” years later: We were planning on making a “pilgrimage” (sick just came into ma gub) to KEXP next year but bastid c19! Mr W.Kramer. Legend.
And if you vibrate to different frequencies, genius: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=RDt2z2RDSGeR0&feature=share&playnext=1
Used to like MC5 about 50 years ago. But, talking about OLD stuff, i've never been a Stones fan but I came across this a few weeks ago and I think it's really fan davvy dozy:-
1984... high quality video... not! but used to be a big song on the old disco circus... get yer gran up to shake her booty!!! irritating but I still like the basic track
That particular band is to me a step stone in music. Energy, sound, "explicit lyrics" . Love it to bits. I still regret not being able to watch "MC5 a True Testimonial" documentary. Wayne Kramer blocked the DVD release. If someone has a pirate version ??
unfortunately, it's unlikely to find it on the web. The polemic and legal action around this movie are serious, and involve a lot of money. I hope a deal will be found for all MC5 fans.
