Pieter-Paul Derks 210 Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 i am an enormous metalhead and have almost all kinds of wierd underground metal on my ipod. but when i am forging i actually prefer things from my dads extensive blues/rock music collection, my absolute favorites are zztop, and a less known band called the hoax, who you should really check out if you are into good bluesrock. when i am designing or doing finishing work i mostly prefer atmospheric or suicidal black metal, and funeral doom because it reminds to go slow and not to rush things. i find that the pace and energy of the music i am listening to reflects on the way i think and how i work. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Karter Schuster 1 Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 I have a preference to listen to Amon Amarth, Nightwish, as well as Eluveitie when I think of forging(will listen when i do forge too ) Eluveitie is a unique band, I know of a lot of folk metal but they rank first in my book. two songs you must check out by them, heck, listen to everything they make, its amazing 1 Link to post Share on other sites
hansjohannsen 0 Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Mostly listen to experimental/industrial.So, no need for a stereo. Could just record what I'm doing and sell it to the label. To bad "men at work" is taken. Hans. Link to post Share on other sites

Clifford Brewer 359 Posted June 17, 2018 Share Posted June 17, 2018 (edited) I have recently found on you tube one HELL of a guitar player that that has blues and rockabilly in his blood. and will be ordering his CD's for shop inspiration tunes. Look up Justin Johnson on you tube, I hope you will be impressed like I was......... Edited June 17, 2018 by Clifford Brewer Link to post Share on other sites

Great suggestion! If you are dig the blues guitar, then I would suggest Shakey Graves or ReignWolf. Both are one man band blues guitarists that will use kick drums. Shakey Graves has a bit of rockabilly in his, while ReignWolf has more rock and distortion. Try "Roll the Bones" by Shakey Graves. Try "Are you Satisfied" by ReignWolf. And if you want to see amazing talent, watch the live Jet City Session of "Electric Love" by him as well. Watch the whole video. Link to post Share on other sites
Clifford Brewer 359 Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Thanks Wes I checked them out , pretty cool sound. have you heard Johnson's Black heart of gold, Or New Orleans heavy swamp blues on a 6 string fret less......... Link to post Share on other sites
Kreg Whitehead 49 Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 (edited) Right now there is Seether cd in my boat/garage. If I had to pick my top 5 it would have to be them,godsmack,korn,3days grace, and sound garden. I am bored at work.....I may try and edit in a Greta Van Fleet vid. Those boys are going places. The singer has been compared to Jimmy Page. When you hear him you will know/hear why. Greta Van Fleet - Safari Song [Live In The Sound Lounge] - YouTube.htm Thought I got it but I guess not Edited June 20, 2018 by Kreg Link to post Share on other sites
Clifford Brewer 359 Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Johnson's surfabilly is another good one.......... Link to post Share on other sites
Zeb Camper 780 Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 (edited) Some songs that come to mind when I listened to Wes's song by Reignwolf... "Flow" by Shawn James "Lost prayer" by Zakk Wylde And a few other obscure bands like Clutch. Shinedown does lots of this bluesy/rock stuff as B-tracks and other live performances. Check out "dirthouse" or their live performance of "a little help from my friends" with Will Hoge. There cover of "Sitting on the dock of the bay" is pretty great too. It's good for the soul to listen to stuff like that now and then. Edited June 21, 2018 by Zeb Camper Link to post Share on other sites
Alex Middleton 499 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 I'm going to have to check out that cover by Dirthouse. Otis Reddings "Dock of the bay" is on my playlist that I listen to every day. Along with Kid Rock, Nirvana, Green Day, Smashing Pumpkins, Mozart, and Beethoven. Brings a smile on my face every time it comes on. "Sittin in the morning sun..........." Link to post Share on other sites

Check out their cover of "simple man" if you dig that... The official video version. Brent Smith's powerful vocals can just bring you to tears if it strikes a cord right. Y'all guys gots good taste in jams btw. I'll be looking up more songs from this thread in the AM! Edited June 21, 2018 by Zeb Camper Link to post Share on other sites
Jeremy Blohm 511 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 (edited) I think most of those jams would be found on FM radio not AM Zeb. Sorry i couldnt help myself. Edited June 21, 2018 by Jeremy Blohm 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Not here! We just now got a rock station that would play something besides rush, journey, styx, or the same few songs by G&R, and metallica! It's rediculouse! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Jeremy Blohm 511 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 WHEN i listen to the radio (not very often) i listen classic rock, hard rock and outlaw country music. But that last 8-10 years i have found myself listening to some Rush Limbaugh, Shawn Hannity, and a little bit of Glen Beck. I know some people just hate these guys but i get a kick out of them.

Vern Wimmer 472 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 We have exactly one radio station in theses parts. Sometimes if the weather is right you might catch the PBS station so I depend on the music of my youth and even older stuff that my Dad collected. Between my mom's and dad's music when I went to school I was confused. I didn't know whether Glenn Miller or Bob Wills was President. So, like Dad, I listen to music that was important in my youth. Bob Wills, Jimmie Rodgers (the singing brakeman), and then move to my era, Eric Clapton from the, Yardbirds to solo, B.B. King, Deep Purple, Asleep at the Wheel, Zepplin, the Dead, Creedence Clearwater Revival, the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Steve Miller, Thin Lizzie, Charlie Daniels, Elvin Bishop, Marshal Tucker Band, the Allman Bros, Canned Heat. Older Santana, Jimmy Buffet. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

That last one, New Orleans Heavy Swamp Blues on the fretless is great. Bottleneck slide is one of my favorite things in the world, so that song fits nicely in there (without having to use a slide!)

Vern Wimmer 472 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Ghadzooks I forgot Alan Parsons Project (Tales of mystery and Imagination), Jethro Tull (Minstrel in the Gallery, Crest of a Knave) if you have Scottish genes you must listen to "Mountain Men" from Tull's Crest of a Knave.

Crest of a Knave is probably one of my top 3 favorite Tull albums. Budapest is an incredible piece of music. Mountain men is one of those songs that transports you back through time (much like the Songs From the Wood or Heavy Horses albums do) Link to post Share on other sites
Vern Wimmer 472 Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 "Crest" has touched on many facets of my life over the years. From "She said she was a dancer" and "Mountain Men" when the album first came out to "Steel Monkey" later on and then "Farm on the Freeway" almost exactly explains why and how I moved from my former zip code to this one. "Songs From the Wood" was the first Tull album I ever listened to and still a soft spot but for some reason "Heavy Horses" never clicked for me. Link to post Share on other sites
SteveShimanek 112 Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Yesterday I was listening to Eddie Glenn "Hick Hop"; Bad Company live; Yellow Hammer powwow songs; and (too early i can't remember the others, more coffee needed) Link to post Share on other sites
Jason McEntee 57 Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 (edited) I'm an old-school metal-head myself. I'm 44, so I've been exposed to many different genres of metal. My favorites are Norwegian black metal, "viking metal", and Swedish death metal. But, more often than not, when I'm in my shop, I usually find myself listening to none other than Ronnie James Dio.

Bruno 89 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 (edited) Amon Amarth. h*ll yeah. Gormathon... Rock On!.... Angel Vivaldi ..... woah.... gives the Malmsteen a run for his money . Way too many others. Mastadon, Dethklok, Eluvietie, Korpiklaani, Alestorm, Ensefirum, Jinjer, Apocyliptica... Black Tiger Sex Machine.
