Killer Queen song (no pun intended) and rockin guitar solo! Even though the metadata on the song widget is blank, I think this one is off Queen Live Killers because I grew up on that album and know it very well.

Loading ...I have always been a fan of old school Metallica. Kill ‘Em All, Ride The Lightning, Master Of Puppets, and And Justice For All were all very influential albums filled with awesome melodies and killer guitar solos. I think things started going down hill with self titled (not to say there weren’t a few awesome songs on there such as “Welcome Home Sanitarium” and “Sad But True”), it just wasn’t the same. The older albums were heavily influenced by classical melodies. There is no better way to show the classical influence than have the amazing duo Rodrigo and Gabriella cover “Orion” off of Metallica’s third album Master Of Puppets.

If ever a band could boast having a complex genealogical tree, that band is Brownout. The eight-piece, Latin funk ensemble based in Austin, Texas, is both offspring and germinating seed to Grammy-nominated Grupo Fantasma. The latter in turn traces its roots to when Austin based Blue Noise Band and The Blimp, from booming border town of Laredo, Texas, converged in its conception.
Brownout may well be Grupo Fantasma’s psychedelic Latin funk little brother, an offshoot of the collective that regularly backs Prince, its latest incarnation, or even its alter ego. What they are not is the sprawling conjunto’s side project. Brownout has taken Grupo Fantasma’s funk roots and blown them up. In the process they’ve taken on a life and developed a unique sound all their own. Aguilas and Cobras, the group’s new album on Six Degrees Records (9/15/09), stands as testament to their one of a kind evolution…

The brilliant name comes from front man Perry Farrell who named the band after viewing an ad for fireworks in a pornographic magazine. Here is one of their tunes off of the soundtrack for Private Parts. I don’t get to label a song both Pop and Avant-garde too often.

A couple of the trombonists came from Harry Connick Jr.’s big band. They play some great New Orleans style music and bear a striking resemblance to Rebirth Brass Band who is also from New Orleans. These guys cover a bunch of really awesome songs so I strongly recommend getting as much of their music as possible.

Brian Wilson liked is so much that he rearranged and sang this song a cappella at live concerts, one of which was recorded for a live album he recorded in 2000. Gotta love some good old 90’s rock. #greatmusic
