Testament 'The Formation of Damnation'

What do you think of this? I have been giving it a try but not really won over.

'The Ritual' is the one album from Testament I enjoy.

I like Skolnick's guitar work a great deal. I thought this was the best thing from Testament since the 80's.

Loved them through their first 4 albums. I enjoy the new music but not a fan of Chuck Billy's newer "vocal" style.

I kind of like 'First Strike Still Deadly', a rerecord of their 80s stuff.

Still don't know why 'Ritual' gets no love.

Stevie Ray Vaughn's cover of "Little Wing". How wonderfully evocative.

I was almost going to comment about how it might be better than the original but, I'm not sure I'm going to make that comparison. Sting does an excellent cover as well. Any other recommendations for a cover of "Little Wing"?

It is sort of like asking, "I love Bob Dylan's 'All Along the Watchtower', anyone know of any good covers?" or The Boxtops' "The Letter", or The BeeGees' "To Love Somebody". Just one tick shy of asking for a good cover of Otis Redding's "Respect".

Beatles mix after the Grammys tribute show.

I watched every minute of that Beatles special. They were my first introduction to pop music and provided great memories in my childhood.

Yeah special was fun but the guests were lucky they were Grammy artists in this year. Katy Perry was brutal though. Best was Hey Bulldog with Dave Grohl on drums!

The second I saw Gary Clark Jr. I knew what song he would be playing.

John was underrepresented and poorly represented, too.

Martina McBride, Live in Concert

The definition of raw talent.

Yes, "While My Guitar Gently Weeps".

Yes, several Lennon tunes were played. Ironically, except for "In My Life" they were all non-album, and two of them were B-sides for McCartney A-sides. "Don't Let Me Down" ("Get Back"), "Revolution" ("Hey Jude"). But if they are going to do 3 Harrison, 2 Ringo, and 7+(?) Paul songs, John deserves a bit more than really bad covers of "Revolution" and "In My Life". Hard to imagine a tribute without "I am the Walrus" OR "Across the Universe" OR "A Day in the Life", for example.

My daughter showed me this absolutely wretched video of Christina Aguilera doing Say Something. She had played me the song in the past and I found it pretty much a zero, but the video, with its repulsive connection of an old person dying and a young couple breaking up, is made even worse by Aguilera's histrionics. I would advise her not to go into acting.

Ah, the American Idoling of modern music.
