I have to agree with Mike - I don't consider the Stray Cats a power trio. Triumph is my personal gold standard. You mentioned them, but didn't play a song Yeah, I know, you played one recently, but that's no excuse

I actually dug that Silverstein song, even though that genre is real touch and go for me. Some of it really annoys me. I went to Amazon to hear more from them and listened to one song I actually know from a comp. Guess I never paid attention to the name since I don't really like that song (actually, it's a good song, with a really annoying chorus).

And that was my first time hearing old Pantera - I liked it!

Good show, guys (except for all the Blues stuff... is the Blues really considered rock?

Yeah one for me... I agree Triumph is awesome... do you prefer when Gil Moore sings or when Rik Emmit sings? What is your favorite Triumph song... I think mine is Young Enough to Cry. Old Pantera is one of those dusty gems that not many have heard because it is so different to what most people consider Pantera being. If you liked that you might wanna check out Lord Tracy... same style of music except a little more tongue in cheek. Wade has this thing for the blues... comes from his upbringing... but I still love him and he wanted to do something that would counter my Paul Gilbert bumper
