I like a lot of the virtuoso players, but if I listen to it too much it starts feeling too controlled and sterile for my taste. And then I have to resort back to the raw emotional entertainment of drug-fueled rampages:

Joe Perry is one of my heros. He said something once along the lines of, he likes it when there's the occasional track wreck on stage. It reminds people that they're listening to rock n roll. :cool:
I think it's time I introduce you guys to a bit of Belgian music. ;)
The band K's Choice was formed in 1994 by brother and sister Gert and Sarah Bettens. The song in this video is from their first album -- released back in 1995 -- but it was regularly plugged on MTV in its days, and it's still popular at parties. It's a classic radio hit here in The Flanders. :)

Nina Conti has made me laugh a lot. This is with a bit of Scottish twist.

The beers are okay. The chocolate is the best part. :pQuote:

Hey, Aragorn here's another one for you that I think is funny. Forgive the tape measure at the end, well, you know what I mean.

This here is an older song, but it's a good one. Although never explicitly stated in the lyrics, it seems to be about the Cuban revolution.

War fell upon an island
When a single handed man
Raped the land of simple men
In the year 1959
Red was more than just a stain
It became hunger pains
As they flew away up high
Tears fell from the sky
And it rained and it rained and it rained and it rained all summer
It rained and it rained and it rained and it rained all night
Hope soon becomes a poison
Working in a factory
Sewing dreams to memories
Far away, in a dying place
A wife will miss her husband's face
Curse her race for their disgrace
As they flew away up high
Tears fell from the sky
And it rained and it rained and it rained and it rained all summer
It rained and it rained and it rained and it rained all night
Anyone remember this old gem? :)

On a morning from a Bogart movie
In a country where they turn back time
You go strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre
Contemplating a crime
She comes out of the sun in a silk dress running
Like a watercolor in the rain
Don't bother asking for explanations
She'll just tell you that she came
In the year of the cat
She doesn't give you time for questions
As she locks up your arm in hers
And you follow till your sense of which direction
Completely disappears
By the blue tiled walls near the market stalls
There's a hidden door she leads you to
"These days", she says, "I feel my life
Just like a river running through"
The year of the cat
Why she looks at you so coolly?
And her eyes shine like the moon in the sea
She comes in incense and patchouli
So you take her, to find what's waiting inside
The year of the cat
Well morning comes and you're still with her
And the bus and the tourists are gone
And you've thrown away your choice you've lost your ticket
So you have to stay on
But the drumbeat strains of the night remain
In the rhythm of the new-born day
You know sometime you're bound to leave her
But for now you're going to stay
In the year of the cat
Year of the cat
Interesting :eyebrows:
