|da]N[ikk| RELLIK:bassist Sherlock Holmes would never allow himself to fall into a situation of being tied to a bed naked. no, i will not go see the movie Posted 3 hours ago view more
I'm a musician..... take a listen here:
SavageDreams.com
or here: |da]N[ikk| myspace music for my work as bassist/co-leadvocalist/songwriter with RELLIK of Albuquerque New Mexico. I also have a weird obsession for collecting orginal promo pictures of the actress Ida Lupino. .....anything else you want to know? well ask then!
ok, maybe a little about my playing..... equal parts Duff Mckagan, Billy Sheehan, Steve Harris, Bootsy Collins, John Entwistle, Dennis Dunaway................... covered with a whole lot of GREG CHAISSON! AND Floyd Pepper of Dr Teeth & The Electric Mayhem ....now if only I could sing like Ray Gillen
Maybe I should become a photographer. pic of Chris Caffery from Savatage/Trans-siberian Orchestra when he was at the Launchpad with DORO and opened the show with his solo group. theres more of my pics from this show in my picture gallery
Who I'd like to meet: Greg Chaisson......the guy's playing inspires me like nobody else! would love to jam with him someday.....
and some drummers I would love to jam with... Dr. Killdrums! Pat Torpey, Eric Singer, Neal Smith, Wil Calhoun, Michael B, Anton Fig, Charlie Benante, Phil Collins (yea...I said Phil Collins)
Maybe we will! Snag Steve DiStanislao on drums, maybe. He played on David Gilmour's On An Island tour... check out the Remember That Night DVD. It could be the aborted late 90's or so Anthrax idea... Gabriel AND Collins on vocals? Gabriel doing "Throwing It All Away" while Collins belts out "The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway"
I got "The White Album "and Past Masters... One word: WOW! I actually played a few songs back to back, and ten years ago, I probably might not have noticed or cared a hell of a lot, but everyone's right: those 1987-1988 remasters do suck! It's like the Sistine Chapel and the Restoration. I am hoping to pick up the rest of the albums over time, but what I'm truly gunning for, and I already started setting aside money for this, is the Beatles In Mono box. Seeing as those albums in mono (especially Sgt. Pepper and "The White Album") are truly "alt. mix" versions rather than stereo fold downs, I'm extremely curious now. Oh, if I hadn't mentioned it, I found Pump on vinyl! I also picked up a copy of Blondie's Eat To The Beat, which surprised the hell out of me. That Cheap Trick 45 is on the Sub Pop label! I wonder if the '97 album ever had a vinyl release. I just read that that CD has a pre-gap track!!! Yeah, album clips and some studio chatter! I just put in the CD and hit the "<<" button. First time I've ever heard this! Did you know about it? Okay, I'm done babbling...
Self-titled, and More Of The Monkees... I'll let you know my reaction when I hear them... I've been pursuing a few different avenues of sound lately...
New Spinal Tap??? Crazy! I'm curious about the new Black Crowes. I got Three Snakes and Lost Crowes. Tasty stuff... I've got another branching out in my listening, which makes who knows how many major changes in the past year... What was the last one I mentioned to you? I know there's been a lot that's surprised you (Genesis, Cinderella, Dokken... that was a nice shock)
Fun times. I've seriously felt my love for music rekindled, for lack of a better word... My friend Lynn that gave me the first batch of recordsgave me the rest that she had, including 3 Beatles (The Early Beatles, Help! (US), and Yellow Submarine), and 2 Monkees, not to mention 3 records by a band called The Shirts! The Pretenders' Get Close was in there still sealed! This has been a great year for my ears! There's more, but I just need to know about the last musical revolution I told you about.
Bernie Worrell, he played on a lot of Get Close, including My Baby, Light Of The Moon, Dance!, I Remember You, How Much Did You Get For Your Soul?, and Chill Factor. I don't know if he's played on any others though... It's a damn good album!
Colonel Claypool's Bucket Of Bernie Brains... 2004 Prawn Song Records release involving Claypool, Buckethead, one-time Primus drummer Brain... and Bernie Worrell! He played with The Pretenders!!! I'm thinking of their Get Close album from 1986. Pretty cool, huh?
Good news! New Cheap Trick album really soon! Bad news: they're sidestepping record labels for this one, making it slightly less accessible than usual channels (as far as I know)
Great news: It's also being released as an LP!!! Not so comforting news: The record will be available on Amazon.com only (for now, at least). I've been avoiding record hunting online for some time now! I have a feeling I might have to consider that avenue sooner or later...
