Thanks for this Lucas, I'm always looking for new (to me) music, and this is just my style.👍 If you have any others, feel free to share.

Even with all the music services out there these days it's still very difficult to find something worth listening to, you have to dig through so much junk to find treasure. It seems that most of these youngsters barely know what a guitar is.

Two of my newest finds actually weren't really finds. I was listening to the radio and they accidentally played a couple decent songs. Royal Blood, and Highly Suspect are the bands. I know, not really hidden gems or anything, they're pretty mainstream, but both really good.

Thanks man.:)

The following probably should have been a PM, but what the hell:

I've only met 1 other person who loved Hum as much as I do, so if you end up liking ALL their songs, we're gonna need to geek out. :P I would have met a lot more fans if I'd made it to their late 2015 reunion-tour show in Seattle, but found out about it too late. :ouch: I'm also a guitar guy, been playing since around 1990. And I've amassed around 600GB of music ripped from CD's borrowed from the local library. :) I tried Pandora and Spotify but just gave up on them. At work, I listen to local http://kexp.org all day.

I checked out a couple songs from those bands you listed and will definitely listen to more. 👍

Others that hold a place in my heart & ears:

Polvo - Siberia and In Prisms albums
Deerhoof - all of them, very quirky
I Mother Earth - fairly similar to Hum
King Crimson - Adrian Belew era (80's) and "Red"
TOOL
U2 - 80's The Edge is a God
Weezer - 1st 4 albums and 2014's Everything Will Be Alright In The End - the early 2000's can be conveniently ... forgotten :boggled:
The Strokes
Sonic Youth
Yo La Tengo
The Tea Party
Dinosaur Jr
Dude York
Minus the Bear
Foals
Modest Mouse - early; recent albums are meh
My Bloody Valentine
Smashing Pumpkins - ahem, their 1st 3 albums :embarrassed:

I could easily go on, but that's just what's on my Android phone right now. Of course I love all the classics - Zeppelin/Stones/Beatles/Velvet U/Rush/Metallica/Eagles etc etc. :bowdown:

I know I'm forgetting a TON.

But Hum is the best, for me. Space & math rock to the max. The 2 guitarists also each had their own side projects called Centaur and Glifted. Hum started doing random reunion shows in the 2000s and then finally did a full tour in 2015, and a lot of it is on Youtube with decent sound. If they do another, I'm there!

Looks like we have a fair amount of overlapping interests.👍 I will definitely give the ones I've not heard a try.

Tool, has always been near the top of my favorites, along with most 90's era Seattle bands. All time is Rage Against the Machine, which I totally lucked out and saw on their reunion tour in 2007 in Alpine Valley, along with Queens of the Stone age.

I too started down the local library rabbit hole, but have gotten side tracked, I'll have to get back on that now that you reminded me.

I'll also check out kexp.org, never heard of that one.

Thanks.👍
 
Rage and Queens are also pretty fun. And thanks for reminding me why I live here...Pearl Jam/Soundgarden/Temple Of the Dog/Nirvana were quite a draw when I was figuring out where to go to college.

EDIT: The first couple Foo Fighters were also great.

I do not even know if it was released in the US......love it. the German version for you guys across the pond
Click to expand...

We got the German version and it actually reached #2 on the charts.

As for the music I'm into. It really varies on my mood but for the most part its progressive rock, metal and 90s grunge. I also enjoy some blues every once in awhile.
 
Thanks to @mr_lab_rat for pointing me to the right place

(reposted from wrong thread)

Only having been driving for 5 years with no experience or training in actual racing (GT since day 1) I'm curious how many guys in the WRS have had race training or take part in some sort of racing in real life?

Also what will happen to the WRS when GT sport comes out? will we lose some of the fast drivers while they head of to win the FIA's prizes ?

What :confused: I would never had thought that motorsport would be banned anywhere although If some asked me what country it was banned in I might have picked switzerland :lol:. is it the environmental impact it causes ?

I wouldn't worry if your not eligible because of your age, All going well you'll up with the 'Master Aliens' around here winning everything in years to come.

This I watch while being lazy on the sofa. It's some close racing very nice to watch, best of luck to ya hope it go's well. stick a GTP_WRS sticker on the car so we can spot ya :lol:
 
Wouldn't a Firebird TA, even a virtual one, have 900 or 1080 degrees steering? I'm at 540, with this Fanatec. SEN setting is off. I think I would have noticed earlier, though.

edit: Well, I should have noticed. When you put dirt tyres on, it goes down to half. Tried this on a RUF as well.

Switzerland, beautiful country but no motorsport. Apart from the underground scene, but even then that's tiny because the authorities do a much better job than most other European countries! :lol:

For a start, when week 110 gets official I should be in D1 Gold (1.3285). Unless I calculated wrongly :/

It was banned following the Le Mans desaster in 1955. But there is one track where there are still races. Only go there if you are up for a good laugh. ;)
 
mr_lab_rat
I'm surprised the ban is still holding up. Is it being brought up to vote on it again?

Switzerland has by far the nicest cars from all of Europe. People there are clearly enthusiasts.

Like I said, there's a small underground group but literally 99% of people here are car enthusiast, like people actually know what my car is! :lol:
