Wolfmother

Wolfmother in my own opinion was one of the best new rock bands to come out in the 2000-2010 decade.  This was the album that had big singles like "Woman" and "Joker and the thief."  I Don't listen to this album as much as i used to, probably because i had listened to it so much now all the songs seem over played to me lol.  Some of my personal favorites on the album are "Where Eagles Have Been", "Colossal", and "Mind's Eye".
 
I remember seeing the band back in 2007, was really impressed with their performance.  They played all of the songs that i liked and they even played "Communication Breakdown".  There were a couple of points during the show Andrew Stockdale threw his Gibson SG high into the air.  I'd be so afraid to do that, for all i know i'd probably miss the guitar lol.  I was really choked to hear that the band had gone their seperate ways just a year after making their debut album.  Andrew Stockdale recruited new members to Wolfmother and released a new album, but for some reason it just doesn't feel the same to me.  I believe his original bassist/keyboardist played a huge part in the band.  I really enjoyed the keyboarding in the song "White Unicorn" and "Minds Eye".  From what i've heard on thie latest album they don't have any awesome keyboarding on any of the tracks.

Here are a couple links to a couple of my favorite Wolfmother tunes, hope you enjoy them as much as i do :-)

  5. Huh, my only exposure being Guitar Hero II, I thought they were a hair metal band from the 80's. The album cover is badass tho.

  15. Hey man who knows, maybe they'll have a reunion type deal with all the original members in the future. It could happen!

  17. I have to agree with a few others, I originally thought they were from the 70s or 80s. That alone should tell you how awesome they are, right?
