Staring down the barrel of a 45.....

Man, has anyone heard the song "45" by this band called "Shinedown".........i heard this song after about a year again today and have been blown by it.....yes,AGAIN!! It has that wonderful quality of painful mellow angst that makes it so unignorable. Just calls out to you to like it. More songs that have this quality that i can think of:

1. Tears of the dragon - Bruce Dickinson
2. Seven- Revis
3. Shimmer- Fuel

Ok, let me get into this a little more know that i am really into it. I somehow have this weird affinity for music which have guys with reasonable baritones doing the stretch bit....wherein they stretch the words of their song out....something like what the lead singer of Shinedown does near the end of the song. Though there are/were a bunch of baritoned guys who suck at it...who just killed the song when they did it....Scott Stapp of Creed for example. Hate that guy! HATE THAT GUY! For the way he stole Eddie Vedder's look, i think he's the one responsible for introducing satin clothes into Rock. I mean how fucking blasphemous can you get........the only people who deserved to wear satin are people who wore long flowing robes made out of them....gods/high priests/buffoons like Jim Morrison, Ozzy or Mick Jagger. Not dickheads like Scott Stapp.

Man, is it tough or what to find this song on the net anywhere. I tried Kazaa for it desperately, couldnt get a decent copy of it anywhere....no luck with any decent band sites also. Finally managed to find the VIDEO!! on the Winamp videos list that you get with Winamp 5.01 i think. Hell Yeah!!

Current Music - Shinedown -45 ( well what else did u think it would be!!!)
