Glen Campbell – William Tell Overture
Van Halen – Eruption
h/t to free for this video. Just completely insane face melting awesomeness.
Someone on the webz said imagine having a band with D.L. Roth as the frontman, but the band is still named after the guitar player. That's about right.
Roy Clark – The 12th Street Rag
...at least that's what I think it's called. Far as I can tell. In any case, enjoy.
1976
Marnie Stern – Build Her Confidence

Helmet – Milquetoast
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzF_KzSlAAM
For my last day, I decided to pick a song of pretty great importance to me. I first heard this song on 120 Minutes when I was up way too late in elementary school. I was instantly in love. It was listed as being on the soundtrack for The Crow, and I went out and got it immediately. Eventually I found out it was also on their album Betty, which I got as soon as I could.
That album changed my perception of what rock could be. It was heavy, dense, and unrelenting. I was only 12 or 13, but I'd never heard anything like it before. After that album, my tastes started forming to what they are today. I owe a lot of who I am to a song I just happened upon on TV. Helmet is a band who had a huge influence on the rock scene. I doubt it would be a big deal to them, but they had one on me too. And it all started with this song.
And thus ends my week at the controls. I hope you enjoyed it.
Symphony X – Set the World on Fire
After yesterday's vocal quality disaster (although I felt the band was pretty tight, at least.) I made sure to listen to this one all the way through. The sound quality isn't the greatest, but the performance is far better.
Anyway, all that anyone really needs to take away from this is that Russell Allen and Michael Romeo are awesome.
