The Yardbirds, "Heart Full of Soul."


Early Jimmy Page...

Jeff Beck who was the last guitarist of the tumultuous Yardbirds can be seen here about 1:12 in. Page was the engineer/bassist in the very last incarnation of the group, and it is unlikely that he would have been featured in a TV spot. Look for a skinny geek.

This is probably an acquired taste admittedly but this is Black Winter Day by Amorphis. All of the bands music is based on the Finnish national epic that I can't remember the name of.

Hahaha... the Mjolnir necklace was a nice touch.

I'd have to say that the orginal Black Sabbath album is still my all time favourite. Slayer's Count Down to Extinction is one that I have a hard time not liking still, maybe since they were a part of my high school years.

you mean Megadeth's? Not bad albums though I agree.

Ha! See how much I love metal? You are right it is Megadeth.
I also used to really enjoy Type O Negative. Their songs seem so much more cheesy now.
And I still have the soundtrack for The Crow which I think I mentioned earlier in this same thread. Some of those songs are much more hardcore than I am used to but I still love them.
An old member from here that hasn't been around a while now said that in her experience people tend to maintain a preference for music from when they were teenagers. I think to some degree she is right since I don't think I would like Helmet or Rollins Band if I heard them now.

Classic Type O Negative...

I'm not a big fan of American/british metal these days (I was in high school). it's too bluesy. I mostly listen to proggy stuff like tool, beatles, and smashing pumpkins, and then there's the aforementioned european metal lol. here's one of my favorite videos. weird in a different way of course;

Interesting video. Like a Lynch-Burton collaboration. I didn't much care for the intro music. It sounded like Enya on prozac.

Here's a link to a song with one of my favorite intro's:

Sorry about being able to understand the lyrics.

Classic stuff right there
 
Once in awhile, I find a remix, that reconnects me with my youth.

I used to listen to Napalm Beach, the Wipers, Christian Death, and such.

I guess it's not odd that I very much like this song that I found today.

Does anyone know the name of the genre of this type of music I used to listen to? Labels have always eluded me for some reason. I'm guessing grunge angst non-glitter goth metal rock. But that looks like everything, so I'm guessing that I'm a bit off.

a song for that special someone. I love Armstrong's voice!

My friends and I sometimes play guess that song and I could not believe that they did not even recognize Ray Charles voice.

The Verve - Bittersweet Symphony
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zx3m4e45bTo

Interesting story behind this song. The violin instrumental was part of an old 60's tune, an instrumental variation of the Rolling Stone's "The Last Time" done by the Andrew Oldham Orchestra in 1966. The Verve had problems with the song.
Allmusic.com said:
Even at their peak, however, the curse of the band's past lingered on, as legal hassles awarded 100 percent of the song's publishing rights to ABKCO Music, which controlled the Stones' back catalog.

Lyrics and the mood are bad but her voice / the music is so beautiful.

That's really cool Borek.
Have you ever seen/heard a japanese drum team?
I got to hear one from a local japanese school at my step grandparents anniversary several years ago. They were really amazing.

Here's a good looking video I found...

Woah, the lead singer of that band looks like new crazy rapper Joaquin Phoenix.
