These guys are awesome!
I find myself listening to more Japanese rock and metal than any other these days.

Like it!

Another slightly off-ball youtube recommendation, an acoustic/ukulele version of one of the heaviest Sludge songs I like, "Crowbar - Lasting Dose", which sounds wonderfully unique. Plus Crowbar themselves are a fan and posted it to the FB page a while back

A friend shared this with me yesterday, excellent song. It's catchy but carries some heft, plus the Iommi style layered solo at the end is fantastic.

I've been buying music since 1970 and this is the only band where I can put all 4 albums on and not skip a track.

Don't suppose anyone was at the Ghost gig at the London Palladium a couple of years back?

That was one hell of a gig.

 

[CircleFaust]

I did see Ghost back in 2014 at a Download or Sonisphere I didn't pay too much attention back then but how much they've developed since.

Really thinking of going to Prague to see them again with Metallica but funds are low at the moment.

 

[Kirby Wurm]

I have to say I don't see the appeal in Ghost, they just don't do anything for me. For those who are fans they're a good live band, saw them supporting Alice in Chains in Birmingham a few years ago and they went down well with the audience.

Can't get enough of Ningen Isu at the moment, really good band. They don't stray from their idiom but much like AC/DC that's not an issue in the slightest.

 

[neviditelny]

With Ghost I must say they are a band that is so much better live than on album. I don't often listen to their albums, but I don't mind going to see them in concert as they do put on a great show and the stage show lifts the music up as well.

Edit: I really like Ningen Isu as well, only came across them in beginning of the year but can't remember how. But really like the sound of them.

 

[Aztec2Step]

Ningen Isu are pretty cool, I keep checking out more and more of their stuff. I like the production of their music, clean but not overly processed.

 

[Illuminist]

Anyone know the band saga? I found them by accident yesterday as their album is called 10,000 days. It's amazing! Like Dream theatre and modern rush mixed together

 

[Aztec2Step]

Tool have an album called 10,000 Days...

Saga rings a bell though. Don't they sell insurance or something for the discerning pensioner?
