Soulfly are pretty good, Korn are also decent. I don't really like Rammstein for climbing for some reason, although I own a couple of their albums...

Tool can be good. Some songs more so than others (ie Ticks & Leeches, Opiate, Stinkfist, 4 Degrees are all tops). Same goes for some A Perfect Circle. And Soundgarden are also top quality for crankin' to.

I dunno, I think good hip-hop and breaks has a place up in there also.

Yep forgot about Tool, also System of the Down normally get a good spin and occasionally the soundtrack to Natural Born Killers.

Wowzers. Korn. Didn’t think anyone actually listened to that.
Don’t stop now. Tell us all about the amazing collection of music on your shelf.
Maybe you could give us a warning on when and where you climb so we can avoid our heads exploding.

Yo! see yas all at the ranges tonight!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kassay was there at the Ranges last night (10/11). Mike, you should commission someone to interview him while he's kicking around, I'm sure it would be interesting compare/contrast with some of the other interviews. The boy is strong

Magpies carolling, Crimson Rosellas and Gang Gangs screeching and Peregrine Flacons letting you know they are about. Might explain why I don't climb inside.

Yeah, ... Like BA said.

The only time I have ever had the opportunity to listen to music while climbing I declined, as I found it intrusive.

On a different slant Re: Climbing Music;
I have found on occasions that while climbing a tune will pop into my head.
It does not happen often but can be an interesting experience (when it does), welding the rhythm of the climbing to the 'mental tune' happening in my head at the time.

I wouldn't want music at the crag, but Tom Waits on the car stereo
turned way down low while you're sitting around a campfire in the
middle of the Grampians is lovely and spooky at the same time.

At the gym, eh - you get used to it. Someone played the new
Interpol album last time I was at Phlegmington which was good to
hear, but christ I would do without hearing another single note of
'nu metal' as long as I live. But hey, that's what headphones and
iPods are for.

Damietta, didn't recognise you there, perhaps you'd left the blonde wig at home?

That must have been the guy doing hand-traverses around the lip of the bouldering cave. That was impressive.

Suffice to say, it didn't work. Most of the hotties were already snaffled. BTW, bugger the place burnt down, I feel terrible for the owners/staff.

I was dragged along to the opening night of 'Bridget Jones the edge of reason' last night. I reckon I was one of about a dozen guys out of a packed cinema. Gawd, it was painful, I snoozed through the love scenes and the self indulgent/obsessed feel good schmalz that oozed from the screen (the Billboard sign says "Go Bridget Go") - painfully aware of the Oprah/'sex in the city' crowd gazing on in self-delusional wonder (this is so much like my life, if only I could make myself the centre of attention for all those around me like she does) and absorbing every last drop of it. The fight scene between Darcy and Cleaver, woke me from the slumber, it was a larff, before I dozed off again, only to wake up every few minutes to the sound of them all laughing......and someone's shoe kept on touching my leg, and lingering. I had hoped it was a dream....then it was time to get up and leave

Are you just pleased to see me, or is that a packet of matches in your beanie?

Sounds pretty tame guys, I'd rather bring in my Marshall & Stack & Strat n crank up to max & jam along to CD's of Led Zep, Hendrix, Clapton, SRV et al, none of this MP3 clipped sh%t with 80% of the data missing ! Could do it whilst belaying with a link from my guitar neck to a gri gri trigger inc vibrato. Won't be doin it at Vic Ranges for a while but.

Anyone who saw that TV program on channel 2 a while ago 'The Soundtrack To War', would know that that was one of the songs the troops used to gee themselves up to go out and kill, sorry, "democratise" Iraqis. Is there an analogy here?

Someone else mentioned Frank Zappa, I wonder if the songs were 'Plastic People' and the poignant 'Help, I'm A Rock'? But then they were songs from my youth, some 35 years ago - sigh - and might not be widely known these days.

Frank Zappa was a genius ! We used to listen to his jewish punk humour & fickle les paul back in the early 70's in st kilda whilst tripping on orange barrels. (Inc "The Day the Weasles Ripped my Flesh") Alas like Gerry Garcia from Grateful Dead & Albert Collins (Bluz player) his prostrate let him down in the end. His son rocks on though. Anyone old enough to remember Capt'n Beefheart ? PS Ansell Adams used to do El Cap @ night in his dreams
back in the 1920's.
