"How can we justify spending so much on destruction and so little on life?" Matthew Good

"The white dove is gone, the one world has come down hard, so why not share the pain of our problems, when all around are wrong ways, when all around is hurt, i'll roll up in an odd shape and wait, untill the tide has turned.....with anger, i'm dead weight, i'm anchored"- IME, God Rocket (Into the Heart of Las Vegas) ^ Some say this song is about a terrorists thoughts before 911

"Pray for the sheep" Matt Good
"But it's alright, take the world and make it yours again" Matt Good

I felt it in the wind, and i saw it in the sky, i thought it was the end, i thought it was the 4th of July.

I considered doing it, but desided I was above such low-brow humour.

Every now and then I fall out into open air just to feel the wind, rain and everything.
And though the hum and sway gets me down
, I'll find the way to peace and openness.

Sum 41 was good when they only had half hour of power out and no one knew them and they didn't have egos and all their music was.... yeah.... they're done...

Finger Eleven is definitely my fave.

Dakona is definitely awesome.

Jeff Healey. A god of the guitar.

Sam Roberts.

Treble Charger.

Neil Young.

Trooper.

Colin James.

Men without hats!!!

And a bunch of other bands people mentioned.

And how could I forget The CRASH TEST DUMMIES!!! :lol:

you cant forget about april wine..they hada lot of hits down south with nature of the beast..not many canadian bands sold out the msg nights consecutivly.

I am getting into some moist stuff...

I have been a fan of f11 for a while, however, their first cd is the only good one. The others are just disapointing.... Tip still ranks up there as one of the best cds of the 90's for me.

Matthew Good (band) I recently got into his stuff, and i love all of it. I think his solo career has been heavily under rated. 'WHile We Were Hunting Rabbits' '21st Century Living' and 'Avalnche' are incredible! His older stuff is ofcourse really good too. Favorites include: Advertising..., Apparitions, boy and his machine gun, look happy..., indestructable, Deep 6ix, and Everything Is Automatic.
