I've listened to every single Magma album released and (barring the vitally 'dangerous' debut) I've always felt the same for all of it - 'seems okay, I guess'.

The greatest leech of Rock (Lived from the music the black musicians wrote) playing metal (he didn't wrote) in sleepy mode

^I actually prefer his version of Dio's Holy Diver over the original. Crazy!

I concur with that.

Reminds me of when Scissor Sisters covered Comfortably Numb - transforming the Floyd track into something of a disco tune with whiny vocals. Ugh

they deserve to be flayed alive for that cover

They flutter behind you your possible pasts,
Some bright-eyed and crazy, some frightened and lost.

It's amusing to see a bass player with absolutely no concept of tempo. Pretty much the only thing bass is expected to do is keep time, and he's failing miserably at it.

That lasted 1:29 before I had to shut it off to keep my ears from bleeding. Who let that guy sing anyway? He carries a tune as well as I do.

Never heard that Scissor Sisters cover, but did like their song "I Can't Decide". Probably because it was in a Doctor Who episode. And the lyrics amused me.

I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

I can only think of non-prog bands/artists which are insipid beyond (my) comprehension - Black Eyed Peas, James Blunt and Aqua come to mind immediately. I rather listen to nails down a chalk-board, or an Elton Dean Quintet album !! (And I love E.D.'s work)

James Blunt is actually not that bad

I realise he has his fans, but I can't stand his puney voice, and he's way too polite. Bland city.........

Oh yes, Bill Bailey.........

- he nailed it !!!!

God that is awful. LOL

Did they even practice before the gig? I hope they weren't taking themselves to seriously on that one. The guitarist can't even get half of the chops down and the drummer can't even lay a steady groove. The Shaggs did it better! Wink

I love their use of odd time sigs and rhythmic displacement.........Oh, hang on a minute, they just haven't got a clue, no concept of timing, tuning, and, to be honest, I sound better after a bottle of vodka (and that's not something anybody wants to hear......). I'm sure they're beginners and perhaps didn't rehearse beforehand coz that's just slops.

Hey Buddy! Bit of a closet Scissor Sisters fan here (probably because in their better moments some of their album tracks resemble Roxy Music a little), but their cover of `Comfortably Numb' was not too bad! Yeah, super disco beat behind it with falsetto vocals, but I always felt a good cover (whether I like it or not) is when an artist completely reinterprets a song, and makes it sound like one of their own works.
