Ah, good for them, that was a big first step for metal

R.I.P. to Phil Lesh, bassist and founding member of the legendary Grateful Dead, who died earlier today

Just Blasted the new EP by Enforced it’s great heavy thrash and death

Grateful Dead bassist and founding member Phil Lesh just passed at the age of 84.
Phil had originally been a classically trained trumpet player when he was invited by vocalist/lead guitarist Jerry Garcia to join as a bassist. Having never played bass before, Phil’s free jazz style of trumpet playing influenced the way he played the bass, adopting a dynamic, melodic method to the instrument, employing unique chord phrasing and note choices where previous bassists had only focused on the rhythm and root notes, and giving an additional jazz influence to their psychedelic rock style that made him an integral part to the Grateful Dead’s sound in their live performances from when he joined all the way to their disbanding in 1995.
He also wrote songs for the band, with “Box of Rain” from 1970’s American Beauty being one of my personal favorite album openers of their career, and “Unbroken Chain” and “Pride of Cucamonga” from 1974’s Grateful Dead from the Mars Hotel also being solid cuts (all three of which he also sang lead on). He additionally co-wrote songs such as “New Potato Caboose,” “Truckin’,” “Cumberland Blues,” and “King Solomon’s Marbles.”
While he himself admitted he did not possess a strong singing voice, he occasionally sang for them. He provided lead vocals on the aforementioned first three songs, and his tenor tone helped their trademark harmonies until 1974, when he stopped singing due to straining his voice with improper technique, although he picked up singing again in the late 1980s.
From 1998 to 2015, he participated in several Grateful Dead reunion tours, including the Other Ones, The Dead, Furthur, and their 2015 Fare Thee Well shows, the last time all four remaining members—Phil, vocalist/rhythm guitarist Bob Weir, and dual drummers Bill Kreutzmann and Mickey Hart—would perform together. Outside of that, he mostly performed with his own group, Phil and Friends, and took time to himself.
I know that Phil has been ill for many years, plus he was the oldest member of the Grateful Dead, but he still lived a good long life and has the legacy of paving the sound of one of the greatest bands in history.
R.I.P. 1940–2024.

@TheHappySpaceman
Thanks for the correction; I forgot which one of them (Bob Weir or Phil Lesh) was the rhythm guitarist.

It’s a heavy death in music, but one hell of a groovy legacy!

Phil Lesh of The Grateful Dead died

I was on Spotify listing to the band 10 minutes ago listing to their song Friend of The Devil off the album American Beauty.

Anyway other news As I Lay Dying are not having a great week after two other members decide to leave the band which could be hinting the band is officially over.

Linkin Park dropped another single Over Each Other off the album From Zero coming out in November 14th not my favourite by far it sounded like Emily was trying her best but i kinder got a bit bored of the song.

Congratulations to Morgan Wallen for his second number one hit with “Love Somebody” right behind “Last Night” from last year. It’s a solid song from him and managed to dethrone A Bar Song (Tipsy) from the number one spot.

@Mr.Myoozik
It’s a solid and uplifting Country song, so I agree, I’m glad he got a hit with it!

@Mr.Myoozik
I can’t believe I discovered him thru some road rage guy in Portland plowing through a floral parade. LMFAO!

@𝐒𝐞𝐚𝐫
Really?

@Mr.Myoozik
This one… 💀💀💀

@𝐒𝐞𝐚𝐫
Damn, bro needed some flowers to calm down

And I heard the Morgan Wallen song at the end of the video

@Mr.Myoozik
Thazz’ exactly how I discovered them. Also that Yelawolf guy too. xD🤣

So Halsey released her newest album detailing her struggles with a lot of mental health issues such as cancer by imitating artists from the past, and you have melonhead Anthony Fantano saying that she’s suffering from “Main Character Syndrome” and being “overly dramatic”. I don’t know man, a woman dying of cancer and expressing her pain through music isn’t something I would call “being dramatic”, that isn’t something you should say at all even in a music review.

@𝐒𝐞𝐚𝐫
Ah nice, I like Yelawolf

Happy Halloween folks i got a lot of new death metal albums to check out for Halloween tonight

It looks like As I Lay Dying is likely to be officially over as Phil Sgrosso has quit the band we have only Tim left that’s it my suggestion is to say it’s over

Legendary producer Quincy Jones died

@Mr.Myoozik
I read about that earlier today. His influence was seismic on music, not just in his production work but his contributions to the world of Jazz as well

The irony of a band named “As I Lay Dying” after whatever the fuck their big drama show is going on with them. 😂

I only liked one song by them.

November 20th.

Let’s see what they got.

On this day 56 years ago, pop band The Monkees released their theatrical film “Head”. Intending to be the series finale from the television series that they premiered in, the plot explored a dark theme about manipulation and exploitation. It was panned by critics and audiences and bombed at the box office
