Rock on Satellite Radio

I'm running XM right now and I am lovin' Rock @ Random, on XM161

It's like they hijacked my CD collection, stole my iPod, and read my mind.

They play everything I like and not much that I don't like.

Right now it's Queensryche's Jet City Woman.

Hey there... first of all welcome! Secondly what's this XM161 about? I just canceled my sub a few weeks ago after hearing that not only was XM41 (Boneyard) history, but that it would morph into a hair nation/buzzsaw blend or some such... I am intrigued by this XM161. Unfortunately I drove my only car with XM into a large body of water last week so I won't even be able to check it out until I get my car back...

Here in Blighty I listen to Planet Rock off of the dish.

 

Me too matey, some great stuff played on this, better than the crappy Radio 1 :tumbsup:

My wife's car has Sirius in it. Pretty much the only channels I listen to are Hair Nation (hair-metal), Octane (modern hard rock), and Hard Attack (heavy/thrash metal). Octane gets the most play, because Hair Nation gives you the same songs over and over again (I swear if you only listened to Hair Nation you would think the only 3 songs Kiss ever recorded are "Shout it out Loud," "Heaven's on Fire," & "Lick it up"), and Hard Attack often features bands a little more extreme than I care for. But honestly, if satellite radio as it currently exists fell off the face of the planet, I couldn't care less.

I'd like to get satellite radio in my car, 'cause I have a Japanese import with a stereo that doesn't reach any domestic frequencies.

    • I posed him that exact question on his discord page as to what his future plans are.... He said he plans to relax for a bit, do his You Tube thing, keep writing new music and then will decide how to release that music.  He said as of now he's thinking he'll either do a solo thing or form his own band.  He didn't say this but I'd sort of envision a Daughtry type "band" where he kind of puts a band behind his name. So essentially, I think you're right on with his plans.  Ultimately, I think like you say, the control is a big part of it.  I think he wants to be able to operate on his own schedule to maintain his health and family obligations. It'll be interesting to see what sound the new material takes on.  It would seem logical to think it would be rock/melodic rock of some sort since that's really the type of music he's built his following with but he certainly has shown he can dabble anywhere from AOR to metal.
    • Glad I got to see them with Erik in front. All the best to him, definitely looking forward to his future outings when he is fully recovered. Would be cool to see him form his own band, where he could take control, and play around in different genres, from full on metal, to soothing AOR, the guy is so versatile.
    • Remedy - Crying Heart. One I've just seen thanks to the Iridium channel.  From the upcoming album. It's a Killer.     
    • Let's not forget Benny Hill. What a Magnificent show that was.    
    • Yeah... I dunno about that. It would be too cringe. Who knows? If I'm high enough, I might submit a video. 
    • Yep great track and if you fancy being in the video for "The Feeling" nows your chance.  
    • I'm proud to say that I had this single when I was a mere 8 years old. KISS were big down here then. Norman Gunston is Iconic for Aussies of my vintage.  The face ln the bottom left says it all. Hilarious.     
    • All in all, this is a great story. Erik played a brilliant, well received, albeit short cameo with one of our favourite bands.  It was a win, win, win. A win for us, a win for Skid Row (the album certainly put them back on the map) and a win for Erik, adding this to his already impressive resume. The fact that it was so amicable with both parties is also great to see.
    • I really like this album - not every song on it but there are some surprisingly catchy melodies all over. Personally I think the singer adds great energy to the mix. It reminds me of the earlier Bai Bang ("closer to you")
