Can’t wait to hear all the tones live records. This is a brilliant way to release these but I do wish they’d offer a digital version. I have faith someone will rip them dutifully however.
Oh and the Linkin Park ad made me recall street teams. Remember those old guys? I remember being on the Audioslave street team and got some decent shwag. I didn’t know how mediocre they would end up at the time this was pre-Cochise.
Totally off topic, but come on. Audioslave had some tunes.
Yeah, they had tunes. Just tunes. That’s about it.
Say what ya want, Cochise has a goddamn great guitar riff in there, and Cornell still has the pipes
Has the pipes on that album or now? That first Audioslave is already 10 years old.
I was on the Hatebreed street team back in the day. When they played Saratoga Winners in NY I got two free tickets, just for promoting the band when the “internets” was still in its infancy. I remember reading theprp for my metal fix then, and still to this day.
How could you leave out Akimbo’s post-mortem final album, Live to Crush? It’s being released on Record Store Day as well.
I like their Forging Steel & Laying Stone album. I need to scope their others. Don’t they have a song that’s all primitive style percussion or is that from another odd sounding single-word band?
Deftones live from buffalo. Because we be some crazy niggas.
I know, right? I don’t think we’re in Cali anymore Toto. It’s almost as if they said, lets fuck with everyone and release a live album recorded in the last place anyone might expect..Buffalo NY.
Meth heads make for great acoustics on recordings
^haha
