Eric Clapton - [1989] Journeyman

A vinte anos atrás, Eric Clapton saia finalmente de uma fase bem tosca da sua carreira com esse disco danado de bom. Eu num sei se aqui ele ainda tava de parceria com (pésismo) Phil Collins. Graças a Deus (ou ao Eric, sei lá)! Eu li a biografia dele mês passado (muito boa) e fiquei com vontade de ouvir o que eu tinha dele. E dos solos, esse é um dos meus preferidos. Enjóiem ai. Top 3!: "Pretending", "Anything For Your Love" e "Running On Faith". Pra quem gosta de: George Harrison, Stephen Stills, Jeff Beck, Rod Stewart e Robert Cray.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Twenty years ago, Eric Clapton finally left all those awful records in the 80's and present us with this good release, Journeyman. I don't know if at the time he is still with a partnership whit (arrrgh) Phil Collins. I've just read his Autobiography last month, so i want to listen all his records again. Journeyman is one of my favourites. Enjoy. Top 3!: "Pretending", "Anything For Your Love" and "Running On Faith". For those who likes: George Harrison, Stephen Stills, Jeff Beck, Rod Stewart and Robert Cray.

Dinosaur Jr. - [1991] Green Mind

Eu tinha um certo preconceito com o Dinosaur Jr. Muito por causa dos fãs, que geralmente são aqueles mongolóides de oculos de aro grosso e camisa listrada polo. Mas o som da banda é legal. O tal de John Mascis tem um vocal bem fraquinho mas ele compensa sendo um excelente guitarrista. Vale a ouvida! Top 3: "The Wagon", "I Live For That Look" , "Green Mind". Pra quem gosta de: R.E.M., Pixies, Pearl Jam, Mark Lanegan e Afghan Whigs.

----------------------------------------------------------------

I had a prejudice about Dinosaur Jr. in the past. It's more because their fans, that kind of guys wearin grandpas' t-shirts and glasses. But the sound is good. John Mascis is not that good vocal but he is a great guitar player, I think. Top 3: "The Wagon", "I Live For That Look" , "Green Mind". For those who likes: R.E.M., Pixies, Pearl Jam, Mark Lanegan e Afghan Whigs.

Cascadura - [2006] Bogary

Banda brasileira com um som bem parecido com os ultimos do Stone Temple Pilots, em especial o Shangri-La-Dee-Da. Até a variação entre as músicas mais rockeiras e as mais baladas é parecido. Das bandas que cantam em português que surgiram recentemente, essa é uma das poucas que eu realmente gosto. Por acaso, andam meio sumidos. Belo disco! Top 3: "Se Alguém O Ver Parado", "Senhor das Moscas", "Elnora". Pra quem gosta: Stone Temple Pilots, Pearl Jam, MQN, Black Drawing Chalks e Queens Of The Stone Age. Capa para Atleticano(a)s

------------------------------------------------------------------

This brazilian band have a sound very similar to what Stone Temple Pilots made in their last records, mainly Shangri-La-Dee-Da. Even the variation between the rockers and the ballads is similar. Among the bands that sing in portuguese that apeared recently, this is one of my favourites. Top 3: "Se Alguém O Ver Parado", "Senhor das Moscas", "Elnora". For those who likes: Stone Temple Pilots, Pearl Jam, MQN, Black Drawing Chalks and Queens Of The Stone Age.

Black NASA - [2004] Deuce

Achei esse aqui no G.O.M.E. (http://getoffmyelevator.blogspot.com) um tempo atrás e achei bem legalzinho. Acho que é uma versão do Atomic Bitchwax sem o Ed Mundell, quando ele está compromissado com o Monster Magnet. Bem legal, bem stoner. Top 3: "Colony", "Kamikaze", "Hut Nut". Pra quem gosta de: Atomic Bitchwax, Monster Magnet, Led Zeppelin, Hawkwind e Dozer.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Found this one in G.O.M.E. (http://getoffmyelevator.blogspot.com) some time ago and really enjoyed. I don't know how exactly they are related to Atomic Bitchwax, but I think that is something about the same band without Ed Mundell and another guitar player in his place. Very cool, very stoner, very fun. Top 3: "Colony", "Kamikaze", "Hut Nut". For those who likes: Atomic Bitchwax, Monster Magnet, Led Zeppelin, Hawkwind and Dozer.

Kiss - [1978] Ace Frehley

Entre os quatro discos solo lançados em 78 pelo Kiss, o do Ace Frehley é meu preferido. É o único que tem cara de disco mesmo e não apenas um conjunto de musicas na mesma gravação. As vezes eu fico imaginando se quando eles iam gravar, eles tocavam maquiados, ehhehe. Deve ser uma cena engraçada eles de bermuda, chinelo havaianas, guitarra no colo e maquiagem no rosto, eheh. O disco inteiro é legal, prazeroso de ouvir, com destaque para o tom meio western de Ozone. Top 3: "Ozone", "What's On Your Mind", "New York Groove". Pra quem gosta de: Kiss, AC/DC, Aerosmith, Cheap Trick e Nazareth.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Among the four solo records released in 78' by Kiss, Ace Frehley's is my favourite. It's the only one that have a real full album style and not just a bunch of songs together in the same record. Sometimes I think if they recorded the records in studio using the make up, heehehe. It's funny to think about a guy playing guitar with shorts, slippers and make up, ehhe. Whatever, the whole record is very cool and enjoyable. Ozone is my favourite with all that western mood. Top 3: "Ozone", "What's On Your Mind", "New York Groove". For Those Who Likes: Kiss, AC/DC, Aerosmith, Cheap Trick and Nazareth.

MD.45 - [1996/2004] The Craving

O MD.45 é um projeto em parceria entre Dave Mustaine do Megadeth nas guitarras e Lee Ving do Fear nos vocais. Gravado no fim da turnê do Countdown To Extinction, esse disco passou meio desapercebido. É um disco muito parecido com o que o Megadeth fazia na época, só que com uma pegada um pouquinho (bem pouco) mais punk e com o Lee Ving em todos os vocais. Acontece que em 2004, quando o Mustaine foi remasterizar o catálogo do Megadeth, ele pegou esse disco para remasterizar também e, segundo o cara de pau do Dave Mustaine, as partes de vocal e gaita do Lee Ving "sumiram". Qual a solução que Mustaine encontrou? Regravar as músicas com ele mesmo no vocal. O resultado é tão bom quanto o original. Obviamente, nas musicas mais punks (Hell's Motel e Fight Hate principalmente) o Lee Ving se sai melhor e nas mais metal ficam melhores com Mustaine no vocal. Eles deviam ter dividido os vocais nas gravações originais para ficar mais legal. Simples assim. Mas sei lá né. Entre um e outro, eu fico com o Mustaine no geral. Abaixo temos as duas versões para download. Julguem vocês mesmos. Top 3: "Hell's Motel" , "Fight Hate" , "Voices". Pra quem gosta de: Megadeth, Fear, Anthrax, Machine Head e Testament.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MD.45 is a partnership between Megadeth's Dave Mustaine and Fear's Lee Ving. Recorder after the end of Countdown to Extintion tour, this album still remains unknown. The sound is very similar to what Megadeth was doing at the time with some punk rock touches, thanks to Lee Ving presence in all vocals. The interesting thins is that in 2004, when Dave Mustaine decided to remaster all Megadeth's catalog, Mr.Mustaine said that all the vocal and harmonica parts of Lee Ving was lost. What an accident, huh? ; ) . So he decided to re-record all the vocals himself. The result is as good as what Ving did before. In the end, I think that they should have shared the vocals at the first they recorded the album. Obviously, the songs with a punk aproach sounds better with Ving (i.e. "Fight Hate" and "Hell's Motel") and songs with a metal aproach sounds better with Mustaine. I prefer Mustaine's version. Here we find both versions. Listen, enjoy and choose. Top 3: "Hell's Motel" , "Fight Hate" , "Voices". For those who likes: Megadeth, Fear, Anthrax, Machine Head e Testament.

Johnny Marr + The Healers - [2003] Boomslang

Ai está um guitarrista que eu acho subestimado. Bom compositor. O trabalho dele nos Smiths e no The The já me agradava muito, mas nesse aqui eu acho que ele teve mais espaço pra se mostrar um bom músico, além de mostrar que tem um bom vocal também. E ainda tem o Zack Starkey na bateria, o que é muito bom. Top 3: "The Last Ride" , "Caught Up" , "Long Gone". Pra quem gosta de: Oasis, Stone Roses, Suede, T.Rex e Supergrass.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here a guitar player I think that is underrated. Good songwriter. His work on Smiths and The The really enjoys me, but in this one I think that he had more space to show his skills. And this album features Zack Starkey on drums, wich is a plus. Top 3: "The Last Ride" , "Caught Up" , "Long Gone". Pra quem gosta de: Oasis, Stone Roses, Suede, T.Rex and Supergrass.
