Oh yeah, and if you've ever heard (or sang in) a 4-part choral arrangement of "Dona Nobis Pachem" in round, a capella, then that just sends this track into the stratosphere of "Respect".

Nearly everything off of Fear is a fantastic track....landed this gem on a PSD, and can't believe I haven't heard it hear on RP before. 

More Toad!

You know .. I'm gonna put this out there and you can call me crazy, but if you ever listen to the song "Brandy" by the group Looking
Glass, you will hear exactly that rare voice.  Exactly.

Heard the name but not the music before. Not bad, worth further investigation.

I feel my body weakened by the years
As people turn to gods of cruel design
Is it that they fear the pain of death
Or could it be they fear the joy of life?

Pray your gods who hold you by your fear
For they are quick and ruthless punishers
Or lay upon my altar now your love
I fear my day is done — there're armies moving on — be quick, my love

Bill must have been touched by an angel recently, 'cause he's playing a boatload of sappy religious crap...like this song. Ugh.

Fast Eddie and I saw Toad last year at The Birchmere—original band! They were good, but Philips was remote, almost disengaged. Saw Philips with his new band, W.P.A., last week at Wolftrap and it was like a different guy: strange stony patter, needling bandmates (Sean Watkins and Luke Bulla—awesome 3-part harmonies) on stage—and not once did he stop smiling.

Wow, its been a while since I heard this one.  My twin sister and I used to play this song at coffee shops back in the day.

Take this one along with a good glass of wine out on the patio late at night, turn it up, look at the stars, and you know:
Life is good!  ( - if not for anything else, then just for the music...)

Toad The Wet Sprocket - Pray Your Gods
Midge Ure - Dear God

The worst two loads of dross I've heard RP play. Come on something ballsy like Jimi Hendrix to salvage the situation...

Astonishing. Eased from an "8" to an easy "9" during the latin bit at the end.

And there's that Sarah McLachlan ripoff of Van Halen's "Ice Cream Man".....


Her song sounds nothing like "Ice Cream man", which is not a Van Halen original btw. That one dates from the 1920s (I think) by John Brim.

Um the Burl Ives comment made me laugh, but the 10 streak has gone. Which isn't a bad thing really. Every hill needs a valley.

their newer music (post-AJFA) is so friggin awful, that i can't even listen to their good older stuff anymore. and yeah, the napster thing was pretty ludicrous, and turned me against them as well. millionaire rock-stars too full of themselves to even smell their own rot.

that being said, it's far more than just the riff / arpeggio (which is a dead-ringer for FTB, anyway)... it's the entire sound, production, pacing, tone, etc that the Toad rips off here. at least that is the best part of the song, though. it's all downhill after their "Fade To Black" intro.


I was in fact convinced that Bill had drunk the Metallica Kool-Aid and was playing FTB. Which is a kick ass tune. They were outstanding back in the day.
