Red Mosquito

Is Uncle Tom's Cabin by Warrant a power ballad? Cause that songs pretty sweet.

Varis wrote:Yep, just made this mix and it's kicking my "ass" (as you American-types say):

Poison - Every Rose has its Thorn
Bon Jovi - I'll be There For You
Europe - Carrie
Stryper - Honestly
Pearl Jam - Sirens
Scorpions - Winds of Change
Extreme - More than Words
Tesla - Love Song
Foreigner - I Want to Know What Love Is
Kiss - Forever

It just hits exactly the right spot, y'know?

Bon Jovi - I'll Be There For You and Cheap Trick - The Flame need to be on this.

Skid Row - I Remember You
Slaughter - Fly To The Angels

Should be added too.

Always find myself really enjoying the drums in what I think is the pre-chorus and the first half of the chorus. And then Ed's singing of "I study your face."

Yeah Matt does a fairly decent job of this. No real complaints about his playing in this one.

Matt was one of the first things I liked about this song. He's great in the pre-chorus. That part's groovy, with the sixteenth-notes on the hi-hat and the bass drum and snare marking out the accents. Then he opens the hi-hat for the chorus, and then starts smashing the crash cymbal for the other chorus.

This song made me realise something about BoB's mixing of the drums though; he always turns the cymbals down to ridiculously low levels.

i still don't like this song

That was one of my main points for the drum tour. No room and minimal cymbals. I love cymbals (see Dave A)

Couldn't agree more.

Time for the Sirens chart check, brought to you by McParadigm.

Guys Uncle Tom's Cabin rocks. No joke.

And baby you're all that I want
When you're lyin' here in my arms
It isn't too hard to see
Hear the sirens.

yep

I thought I liked this track, but skip it everytime, even when I am the bowl taking a dump. I did prefer it live, maybe it will grow on me, like a corn.

'sfunny, but to me talk of Sirens and taking a dump and little bits of corn just seems all together kinda natural, y'know?

My ring certainly ain't itchy anymore, anyhoo...
