Admiral_Karasu Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 The JGSDF Central Band in Sweden. The first seven items in this medley are performed by them, wearing the new uniform that was introduced a couple of years ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brVJUdoLF20 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't watch the whole thing but enough to know how good they were. The addition of traditional Japanese musical instruments was interesting.

Snargfargle Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 21 minutes ago, Admiral_Karasu said: Did you have fancy uniforms too? My school was so small that we football players had to go in at halftime and change into our band uniforms for the halftime ceremony. The school was pretty rich though because back in the 60s taxes generated in the county stayed in the county. Therefore, a lot of the oil and gas well tax money went to our school. We had excellent instruments and uniforms. The state finally changed it that county taxes go to the state and then are doled back to the counties, which made for some very poor western counties that now can't afford paved roads or hospitals, much less high school school bands. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clammboy Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 If some asked me to list my 5 favorite songs this would be one of them I just always loved this band and Ian Astbury. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She Sells Sanctuary is a fantastic song. They are a great band, and Duffy playing guitar is unreal. While I lived in Southern California, I would listen to 91X. They always invited bands to come into the studio, so here is their version. This is a crank-up-the-volume song. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking mostly of being courteous to my neighbors. I have a subwoofer from hell it seems, no matter how low I turn the bass, or the volume, it keeps thumping the floor like a pile driver. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArIskandir Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 It has always been a cherished Rock n' Roll tradition (at least cherished by me!) its ability to offend the previous generations. For myself (as representative of my generation) Rock was "my" music, and something great about it was my parents 'hated' it... in purest style of Twisted Sisters, I loved the fact that the 'old' folks couldn't relate and were offended by the music we 'young' folks liked. So, I have been somewhat crestfallen by how I felt 'newer' music has been losing that edge, how it's becoming increasingly tame, lacking that ability to offend old folks (considering I'm an old folk now) in the way music of my generation offended the older folks. So I was gladly surprised by some music my daughter (14 yo) and her friends listen to, this is an Italian band that's wildly popular with kids today, it isn't anything groundbreaking and tbh I'm not in the least offended, but I'm glad at least the Rock n' Roll spirit of being offenssive just because being who you are is still alive and kicking. This is Maneskin and I hope some of you old farts will be offended. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's any consolation to you I find much of this newer 'music' offending because it's obvious combination of low ambition commercialism and lack of talent. I'm aware that many of the rock and pop classics we still like at least originally were considered 'too commercial' by many, but the standards they met were still a far cry above the regurgitated mass pulp most radio stations push out these days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
