Heya all, i have been an [glow=red,2,300]@td-iTEXT[/glow] fan for probably 5 months now, since seeing @td-i mentioned in the thanx section in rage against the machine's 'renegades' album. Cedric's voice took a while to get used to, and to the untrained ear @td-i sound, quite frankly, like a bit of a mess! But after a while, i grew accustomed to it all, and f.uck me i realised this was some powerful-assed motherf.uckin s.hit - almost up to rage proportions.
As you may or may not know, @td-i once supported ratm, i think it was on their final 'proper' tour, and i am curious as to whether my fellow @td-i obsessees adore rage too? after all, they both are quite unique bands, with unique, charasmatic singers, widely acknowledged skillfull guitar playing from Tom and Omar, and they have both split up and pursued less spectacular new bands- i am yet to experience though. It must be said tmv are better than the tripe that audioslave are pouring out.
I've been dipping my metaphorical toes into this site for a while now and have enjoyed witnessing the hacker story unfold.
Has anyone else noticed the way Prettty Girls Make Graves seem to sound frighteningly similar to @td-i? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm?.......Hmmmmmmmmmmm?
cheers guys,
Adam x

rage were badas$... wish they would've hung together longer, we need them now, but they'dve been taken to Guantanamo Bay by now. I expected a little more from Audioslave, but I guess the fact that everyone had expectations contributes to the tepid disappointment in the album. I guess Tom, Tim and Brad just want to make different music now, which is cool, I think they'll gel better by next album.
Is Zach ever going to release his solo album? The radio needs his voice right now.

[glow=green,2,300]hello all[/glow] well first off i would like to thank people for the the warm welcome  ;D i LOVE all of the rage albums - i suppose i would have to say that, but probably my fave is The Battle of Los Angeles, because of the kind of cleanness of the production - but i still like the rawness of 'flaming monk'. Probably the content of battle of L.A is the most diverse, whilst i love the points made in the self-titled debut which i nickname 'flaming monk'. i apprecieate that this is a@td-i board, but u see, i just find rage and @td-i so similar, probabaly @td-i are even more absorbing, because the songs dont have an obvious meaning - you can draw so many meanings from it all  i am gonna buy a sparta album since i only found out that jim ward is in sparta the other day, are the other non afro boys in there too? But how about this for a line-up Cedric Bixler Tom Morello Tim Commerford / Flea Brad Wilk YEEEEEEEEEEAHHHHHHHHH! That would be like rage....................but better adam x |

hey man, whats up? i too am a rage fan. my favorite album is Evil Empire and my fav song is "Mic Check" it does suck that they broke up, they were definately one of the most important bands of the mid and late 90s.

The smiths are my favourite 2 questions for you bradley 1.) what's your favorite smiths album? 2.) and also, have you've heard both versions of "pretty girls make graves" the [shadow=red,left,300]ALBUM VERSION[/shadow]and the [shadow=red,left,300]Troy Tate session[/shadow]version. if so, which one do you prefer? by far, the troy tate version is way more powerful, i think.#nosmileys |

For Cokes: no, I havnt really seen much good music for about a year and a half, except The Coral. All the "garage rock revival, etc." shit just doesnt excite me anymore
1)Very, very close between "The Smiths" and "The Queen Is Dead", but the 1986 effort has to be seen as the pinnacle of Smith greatness for I Know Its Over and the consistancy of brilliant material and lyrics.
In order:
The Queen Is Dead
The Smiths
Rank
Hatful of Hollow
Meat Is Murder
Strangeways, Here We Come
Strangeways is too electric and rockish for me, and Meat is murder just isnt consistant. What albums do you have Paranoid?
2)Thanks to you I do have the Troy Tate Session version. That weird sound that goes through the song makes it a better version than the album one I think. A lot of the time The Smiths seem to work in more lo-fi way for me. More powerful it is, and also musically better.
Paranoid, which STILL ILL version do you prefer, off THE SMITHS, HATFUL OF HOLLOW, or RANK?

i have
the smiths
meat is murder
hatful of hollow
louder than bombs
queen is dead
strangeways, here we come (doesn't the gentleman on the cover look like bill clinton?)
singles
and some other downloaded stuff.
still ill - the smiths
although the rank version is awesome, considering it was live. the smiths played excellent live i think.
Johnny Marr and Morrissey should of really stuck it out. I like morrissey's solo stuff, but The Smiths were just too original and unique (lyrically and musically)
