GMC Forum _ Bands and Guitarists _ Did You Discover Any Artists/bands Through Gmc?
Posted by: Robin Nov 16 2007, 08:00 AM
Topic title says it all.
I have discovered tons of great artists and bands on GMC(thanks!), I'm gonna try to see if I remember all of them.
Stevie Ray Vaughan
Jefferson Airplane
Paul Gilbert
Leahy
The Masterless Men
The Tragically Hip
John Butler
Andy Mckee
Budgie(I think?)
Bob Brozman
Yes
Tenacious D(not the best music, but very funny)
and tooooooooons of guitarists.
I know rokchik, Gen, Hemlok etc. have showed me alot more, but I still havent managed to dive into all of these bands 
SRV, Leahy, Jefferson Airplane, The Masterless Men and Budgie are definitely my favorites of the bands I've discovered through GMC, atleast of those I can think of atm.
So, what about everyone else?
Just thought I could add a Bjørn Berge link since we're at this subject

I must admit, you are right.

I got obsessed with Rhapsody thanks to Pavel and Uncreator

Oh and today I also started listening to some U2 because of Mattacuk. Never really listened to them much before that.
Posted by: DeepRoots Nov 16 2007, 08:22 AM
hmm lets see..
Before GMC i had never heard of:
Steve Lukather
Steve Vai 
Joe Satriani
Mark Knopfler
but now love them 
Its somehow skyrocketted my interest in John Petrucci also, even though i loved his work before i signed up.
Posted by: Pavel Nov 16 2007, 08:54 AM
Hahah that's the way to go!

First of all, good thread mate
I have to say i ve discovered some really good artists/bands(and songs of artists i already knew) through gmc.
I cant remember of all right now but i ll try to make a little list, as Robin did:
Bjorn Berge
Oystein Sunde
Opeth
Andy McKee
Riverdance
Leahy
Eric Clapton (just knew some famous songs but never really listened to him before slammer showed it to me, thanks 
)
The Traveling Willburys
The Tragically Hip
Darkthrone
Budgie
Explosion In The Sky
and many others...
I would like to thank : Robin, Rokchik, Slammer and Fsdjv (sorry if i spelled it wrong ), i probably wouldnt have heard of all the artists i ve mentionned without them, and thanks to all the GMC community for making that possible. Best Website ever

Hey Robin, I hope you are feeling better and able to play soon . One of my favorite bands is the Meat Puppets, really cool stuff from these guys I really love them. Too High To Die is a great album to check out. Also try Animal Bag. They had 2 albums, the first is self titled , the second was just cover tunes. The first is worth checking out. I have not really discovered anything new from the site that I have not listened to already and some of you younger guys and gals listen to stuff that I can't say I really enjoy . Some of you guys dig up some really cool clips from Youtube, several of the artiasts I hope to check out an album or two.

That brings back memories Understudy - saw Meat Puppets years ago headline with Henry Rollins.
On that vein maybe a mention for Fugazi and Big Black seems called for .
Cheers,
Tony

hmm Andy Timmons is the only one I could come up with and its from Instrumental Case which I don't see much in the boards anymore.
Posted by: Fsgdjv Nov 16 2007, 05:21 PM
)OMG! You forgot the g!
Anyways, yeah, I've discovered Björn Berge, Buckethead, Akira Yamakoa (wich is so awesome I can't believe it) and I'm sure some more things that I can't think of right now. Oh, yeah, I've discovered great guitarists such as Muris and Gabriel through GMC aswell!

+1, best find so far I think.
Posted by: Smells Nov 16 2007, 07:36 PM
Not so much discovered but re-discovered, the main one to note is probably Paul Gilbert, I loved Mr big etc when it was all out but kinda got lost in the past till Muris`s PG lesson & Matts links to youtube, its made me dig out old albums, and its all come up fresh again
(BTW excellent topic m8)

That is pretty awsome!
My local mate showed me Paul Gilbert just before I started GMC and i was hooked instantly - the magical video was scarified! 
But on topic, I have learned of a list a mile long of awsome players since joining GMC! I pretty much only listened to U2 before I joined up. I still like them alot, but i now have alot more to enjoy!

Posted by: Slammer Nov 17 2007, 03:21 AM
) I remember when I showed you the Youtube video of "Old Love- Live in Hyde Park" you talked about it for days after that
Posted by: The Uncreator Nov 17 2007, 04:33 AM
Bjorn Berge (thanks to Robin)
Textures (Thanks to Owen)
David Walliman (Thanks to David Walliman )

Never tried the helicopter one. I'll plan on trying that though.
One of my favorites is jumping into jet engines while going full blast, its so much fun

Great thread Robin
I'm glad you have enjoyed some of the stuff I sent ya especially bands like The Masterless Men and Leahy who are just great talents but ar not well know outside east coast Canada. Also the Tragically Hip as I think everyone should listen to them
As for me well I've got an education is music I must say. Stuff like Bjorn Berge (Robin of course), Opeth, Iced Earth, Nightwish (all The Uncreator) Odd Nostaga (Robin again and I probably spelled it wrong too sorry), Lacuna Coil (Hemlok) and of course Gabriel, Cirse and Muris. Just great stuff!
Posted by: The Uncreator Nov 27 2007, 01:14 AM
Glad you like 'em, those are the bands ive been listening to since i was like 11 or 12
