My Dad had a similar, horrified reaction to Child In Time. Gillan's screams start kind of sweetly quiet, but then...." Turn it DOWN, son !!" Ha ! I miss him, every day.
Andy Williams - 'Music to Watch Girls By'. At some point in 90s Britain this song was on a car ad and got a bit popular. I duly went out and bought the cd single. Amazingly enough, after years of blasting out all sorts of rock, metal, punk etc (having my bedroom on the attic floor did help with that) it was dear old Andy Williams that prompted my Mum to yell up the stairs, 'Turn that racket down!!!'
Nope. Never. 70 year old Fifer here. 1. when I got married in 1979, we had between us two Dark Sides of the Moon LPs, two Land of Grey and Pink LPs, twoTea For The Tillerman, two Nursery Crymes, two Close To The Edge etc. 2. Bands we went to see together were Thin Lizzy, Todd Rundgren, Genesis, Robin Trower, Lynyrd Skynrd, Caravan, Wishbone Ash, Frank Zappa, Suzi Quatro, Pink Floyd, The Rolling Stones, etc 3. my mother had a 1970 second pressing of Court Of The Crimson King and my dad had Bat Out Of Hell,
My wife says "God that's Loud" to everything I play 😅 My Dad used to yell above anything Thrash. My Mom was the best...she used to listen with me. She loved Van Halen and ZZ Top.
My Mum hated me playing Paris by Supertramp because she didnt like the "swearing" on Bloody Well Right. But turned a blind eye to Ac/DC's Dirty Deeds when Big Balls came on
Today’s beverage of choice is from Goose Island Brewery. Bourbon County Brand Stout. Stout aged in bourbon barrels. 14%ABV. Cheers 🍻. I went through a short phase were I got into some speed metal back in the 80’s and my mom would say “What the hell is that?” “It’s the great Kat mom, Worship Me or Die album.” She’d make me either turn it down to where she couldn’t hear or I’d have to turn it off completely. S.O.D. Speak English or Die I can’t play around my wife. She hates that style of music. Come to think of it there is a lot of my collection my wife doesn’t like. We are like Donny and Marie on steroids. She’s a lot of bit country and I’m a lot a bit rock n roll. Great show guys! Fun way to kick off the new year!
Graham Cracker is the base for New York cheesecake. So, plain hobnobs. I was looking for mead the other day, but it's hard to find in the US southwest. There is/was a mead shop in Flagstaff, AZ, but it was a bit medicinal tasting. Oh well, I'll fall across some somewhere. My dad listened to me playing Traffic's 'Sometimes I feel so uninspired,' adding, "Yes, and they sound it too." A harsh comment on a great song.
Going back about 45 years, it was Status Quo's Piledriver album that did it for my friend's grandmother. She came in and said, 'I don't mind what you listen to but not that thump thump thump.' Her face was a picture. Barry Manilow was more her thing...
My kind of show! My parents hated Kiss. One of my siblings hated the Doors and he shared a birthday with Jim. Let’s see- I worked in an office where 2 people said they hated the Beatles. Nobody’s perfect! I guess I can understand the hatred towards Kiss and the Doors. But the Beatles?!
One of the best UK Connections episodes, thanks chaps. It was very funny and I expect most of us have had the same experiences. You should now do the opposite show, where you discuss SoT paradigm music that your family members love to listen to!
Totally agree. There are a few songs I have managed to brainwash my family with and a few bands my wife actually recognises. I get a sense of achievement when that happens.
Awesome episode as always fellas. I even enjoy the alcohol discussion at the start. Not only have I discovered/rediscovered some great bands/albums from SoT but also some excellent beer.The current turn that Sh** off from the wife to me is Amon Amarth. Mine to the wife is Absolute Country (the radio station) Though there is the odd song I secretly enjoy 🤫. 🤘
Okay 5 albums that probably are some succesful contenders for this: John Zorn Naked City Scott Walker Bish Bosch Ornette Coleman Free Jazz Tangerine Dream Zeitgeist And...for sure The Shaggs Philosophy of the World
My dad told me to turn off Magnum!!!! Then one day he had obnoxious noisy neighbours then told me to play it as loud as I could. I told him I wasnt going to pleasure their ears.
As a lifelong Steely Dan obsessive, it brings tears to my eyes to think that anyone would say, "turn that off." But I get it. Donald Fagen's voice can be an acquired taste, and "Countdown to Ecstasy" in particular is The Dan's least accessible album, by far. Cats in Space, though? Who wouldn't love Cats in Space?
Driving around with my daughter who at the time was about 11-13 years old I was playing Grand Funk's "Closer To My Home". When they were repeating the title over and over at the end (which DOES go on forever!) she screamed at me to turn it off!
And to add to the outdoor heard by the neighbours thing....do not play any Acid Mothers Temple outside... and we share a border with 6 sets....four of whose lawns died that fateful day!
Cirith Ungol is a great choice. I had to have the tshirt. And then, after I went back to +Frost and Fire+ had to have that t-shirt as well. The glory that is Tim Baker!
A great episode! Our local pub has a new juke box...to my delight, thousands of great tunes, at least, to me. And some great long ones. 23mins of Echoes by The Floyd followed by the song Close to the Edge made me flavour of the month.."Where's the bloody Abba" or Take That..?
Pete, so funny hearing your concert experiences with your wife! I get the side-eye sometimes, but Joyce has been pretty open to many shows thankfully. Steven, nice job torturing your family with the Cardiacs. Cardiacs vs Silence…Silence wins 😂 Fun show gents!
I remember in 77 I was 12 listening to Kiss Destroyer and in God of Thunder the part where Gene says “slowly rob you of your virgin soul” my mom slammed open my bedroom door yanked it off my turntable and broke it in half. Ahh those were certainly different times. Oddly later that year she took my brother and I to the Alive II tour. Mom sure was interesting 😛
So looking forward to this one. Don't remember the other half telling me to turn anything off but others for sure... My mum loved the odd Alex Harvey song, like Cheek To Cheek or Anthem. But definitely not songs like Vambo Marble Eye or Midnight Moses. And i remember a joiner mate threatening to leave mid job if i didn't turn off Antichrist Superstar. Myself, only remember once asking someone to take off Voivod's Dimension Hatros cos i was worse for wear and it was making me ill.
SAHB had a little bit of everything, play Next, There are no lights on the Christmas tree..., Boston Tea Party and people will look at you sideways. But St. Anthony and Tomahawk Kid are classic.
As I said in the chat: My grandmother hated everything rock and would just make a disapproving noise when hearing anything louder than talking. I once showed her a video of Rollin' Home by Status Quo. She liked the slapstick in the video but hated the music and didn't like the guys showing up to play the song at times. My mother never told me to turn anything off, only gave me THAT look. Specifically Rush and she wondered why he had to sing that high.
My brother in law made mead a few years ago. Holy shit! I got so high on that. Never wanted it again. My "turn that shit off" was Monotheist by Celtic Frost. I bought it when it was released (2008-ish?), and my lovely wife looked at me as if she did not know me. When I play it to this day, she looks at me the same way. Great album, by the way! Oh yeah, that Apollyan Sun is another! Keep rockin', gents!
My wife lets me listen to any extreme metal at any volume. She is not a fan but can block it out even on road trips. She is a lyric person, can’t stand when I play Zappa
I jumped in our band van to travel to a gig and I said 'Hey, throw this disc in the player'. It was Opeth's Ghost Reveries! (I LOVE this band) The opening track is often used for 'reaction videos' on YT. It starts nicely enough and then.......... explodes into death metal. It lasted about 10 seconds before it was shutdown. The look on my bandmates faces was priceless.
Excellent show. Can we encourage Simon to make more topic suggestions for shows? I had a very similar experience when I played Steely Dan to my wife. She asked who it was and can I play something else. I was more than happy because I didn't really like it either. My wife is happier with total silence rather than anything I would play.
Great stories by each and some belly laughs, too. My extended family think a lot of what I listen to is “that crap that. JW likes.” But the one that always comes to mind is one told on another SOT comment board and is from 1967 when I was 11and when my Mom and I returned to the house from some brief shopping trip and my brother was playing Hendrix’s Are You Experienced at high volume on Dad’s stereo thinking that no one was home. At the same time, we both said “WHAT is THAT! “ but mine was exclaimed in wonder while hers was in utter disgust. Thanks for the great episode, lads. Cheers!
I use that hp sauce to one dish online, and thats called "pytt in pan". Its a mix of fried meat and potatoes and onion, often served with fried eggs and pickeled redbeets.
Once tried playing The Best of Uriah Heep in the car for my mother, starting with "Gypsy." As soon as the Hammond organ came on, she was pretty ticked off.
Growing up in the thick of the thrash and death metal movements, I got complaints from the family about my music listening habits all the time. A few of the bands that seemed to be especially nerve-wracking for them were Exciter, Kreator, and Celtic Frost. I also got a lot of complaints about Swiss hard rockers Krokus, due to their lyrical content.
Pete's wife is probably a big Magma fan 😱 Usual standard stuff with my girlfriend. No extreme stuff and harsch vocals. My kids were also more forgiving when they were little. My sister can't take Rush. I love the new idea for next episode. I alway wanted to propose that to Pete. What top 30 albums of the last years are still on (semi) regular rotation?
The strongest, most "memorable" negative reaction that I can recall was when my dad stomped into my bedroom, grabbed and flung Alice Cooper's 'Killer' LP across the room. He apparently wasn't impressed with the lyrical content of 'DeadBabies'.
My Dad’s greatest moment. Driving me and some friends to the mall..we had him put on Twisted Sister “Can’t Stop Rock ‘n Roll”…during the title track where they keep repeating the title he turns around and goes “Oh Yeah?” And turns it off and keeps driving…We couldn’t help but laugh.
All extreme metal and most more out there prog with my parents: At the Gates At war with reality (perhaps their "softest" album), King Crimson Islands during the car ride - At the Gates lasted 15 seconds, King Crimson roundabout a minute before they turned it of. Both like ITCOTCK and I even showed them Lizard which seemed alright. They rarely get into new music at their age, maybe once a decade a new artist so I was quite surprised that Porcupine Tree and Steven Wilson are all the rage ever since their reunion. I also met with a bigger group last year and somehow forgot that most of them listened to metal adjacent music, so Public Enemy got quite a few sour comments but Immortal At the Heart of Winter seemed fine.
Another fun UK Connection. That Comus album is scary. I was playing Octopus in work and one of my colleagues asked who I was listening to? (he likes Behemoth) I said Gentle Giant and he replied it's weird. When I have to work with my team colleagues, it is preferable to them if I have earphones on.
@@TranquilityFireReid my colleagues have a raised eyebrow attitude to the music I listen to. Death Metal, Black Sabbath and AC/DC is fine, but Norwegian Prog and Haken is ...... In reply to your question from the last show (TH-cam kept deleting my reply) the Tull sets were from all your music on e-bay. The deal at that moment was buy 2 get 25% off. It took weeks to arrive, I suspect they came from America.
When I was ten or so i was really starting to get into rock 'n' roll. it was 1990 but I basically started witht he roots, and listened to a lot of oldies radio shows, had a bunch of Jerry lee Lewis, Chuck Barry and Elvis tapes. My dad was really into jazz and Latin music and classical; not so much rock anymore, and especally not the du-wop and 50s stuff, which they would play a lot of on the radio (and at that age I quite liked some of it myself). I didn't really realise this at first and thought my dad would share my enthusiasm for this music, it being the "stuff of his youth" and all that. The parents were pretty good about tolerating my music even when I was a teen and listening to metal, but after a whole night of "dooo waaa ditty dum doowopa-dee-lalalalaaaa shaboom shaboom" on the living room stereo, my dad finally snapped and said "Can somebody shut these guys up?!? Why do we have to listen to this sh*t*!!!?" It was so funny. One time I also had a tape with a few cool songs I liked, but a bunch of pretty smaltzy stuff like perry Como. We were driving in the car with my sister, and it was a pretty long drive -- this song came on that went "ther's a wheel, and it goes round round round and it spins along with a happy song", and my dad goes: "if you don't turn this off now, I'm going to throw up!" The other thing, that neither of my parents liked, was swearing. Brought home an Ice T tape once and my mum, suspicious, took a listen. That one went in the garbage.
I'm 66 and blessed with 21 year old twins, and we love going up to Scotland as often as we can, which entails a very long drive from the English Midlands, so lots of great music for me on the CD player, which usually means King Crimson, Katatonia, Iamthemorning, Big Big Train, or Riverside etc,,, They are not keen on any of it, except they both like a bit of Springsteen and my son insists that every long journey begins with a big singalong to Born in the USA, with him mangling the lyrics! I did manage to get their mother into Crimson at one point, but sadly the first concert I took her too was the Thrak tour, which is probably their most inaccessible period, and that was the end of that :)
Great show 👍 Growing up as a metalhead my parents were tolerant to anything I listened to no matter how loud. There was only one time my Mam told me to turn off my music and that was Ice T, OG album. Too much bad language on that one 😂
I have a love for the old Residents albums - from Meet the Residents on to God In Three Persons where I lost the thread - and they are albums I play when no one else is around. My wife is blissfully tolerant of most of the music I play. Empath by Devin Townsend was a big step too far for her and was one of the few times I was asked to turn it off.
LOL great show guys. The main one that comes to my mind is my mom. When The Dirty deeds album was brand new, my friend and I were playing it. and the song big balls came on and my mom threw a shit fit. As the years went on, we always joked what my mom about it. And she joked right back. Ah, the memories. LOL.
It would be interesting if there was a future sequel to this episode where Pete, Steve and Simon tell us what band/artists their families listen to that have them screaming, turn that s*it off!
I absolutely lòve this episode, lot of laughs.., and even more fun being there when the three musketiers make up the rules for the next episode… this is for musicnerds and I lòve it!!
I played "Hell Awaits" in my room back in the ‘80s, and my mom came into my room; «what the hell are you listening to!? This is not music!!» - then se looked at the album cover, saw the song title "Necrophiliac", and told me to get rid of that «satanic noise» and never bring it into the house again.
Oh man, all I can think about now is Mrs. Pardo covered in water and beer at that Allman Brothers Band concert that Pete took her too. She must really not like them even more now!
My girlfriend and I are in our mid twenties and a few years ago I picked her up from work. I had Jethro Tull’s Thick as a Brick in the car’s stereo. She gets in and before she says hello she says “I don’t know what this is, but it needs to stop”
In 2012 I discovered the music of Sunn O))) & even then I was well aware they were not to everyone’s taste. The first thing I ever bought & played on my Hi-Fi system was their Monoliths & Dimensions album. I had it up good n’ loud & my partner said “what is this shit you are listening to”, suffice to say she wasn’t a fan. She still isn’t 12 years & 11 albums (including collaborations) later.
Deicide - Dead By Dawn , Nazareth - Ballad of Hollis Brown, and Pink Floyd - Several Species of Small Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving With a Pick are the only songs that multiple people begged me to shut off.
Love Dead by Dawn 😀that chant part man and the treatment on Glen Benton's vocals...it's just so unforgiving and relentless. Put it on for the neighbours you hate!
Deicide is the Slayer of death metal! Great band, but I prefer Slayer more though. Nonetheless awesome band. Glen Benton's bass playing and vocals are great, but Steve Asheim is a great drummer and the best member of the band. The Hoffmann Brothers are great guitar players, but later on got 2 talented players within Ralph Santolla and Jack Owen. Drums in metal have to be tremendous. Guitar players are great, but drummers make the faster beat/heavy sound.
Who doesn't love Miles Davis or John Coltrane? I grew up listening to this along with my dad's love of country and folk music. Mum was all musicals and rock'n'roll. They happily put up with Big Country, Iron Maiden, ZZ Top and Magnum! At least I wasn't going out and buying really poppy stuff!
Enjoying another greatly entertaining show this week with a rather "smooth & satisfying" 6.5% Old Crafty Hen. Only really 3 albums spring to mind that the other half can't abide. "Mëkanïk Dëstruktïẁ Kömmandöh" (or anything else) by Magma - no, no and again no! 🤐 "In Rock" by Deep Purple - or anything featuring "That Whiny Man" on vocals 🤨 I would never, never, be rash enough to play Comus for the missus 😇
This was hilarious only just got round to watching it reminds of the days as a teenage metal head the quicker my mom would shout up the stairs to turn it down the better the band! I only had napalm death on for a few seconds before she yelled to turn that shxt down!😂
I was 14 years old and listening to Ted Nugent’s live gonzo album on a tape player in the kitchen. My mum comes home from work just as Ted says “if you came here to get mellow you can just turn around and get the fuck out of here” She picked up here bags and did just that.
Headphones! They're a fabulous new invention.
My Dad had a similar, horrified reaction to Child In Time. Gillan's screams start kind of sweetly quiet, but then...." Turn it DOWN, son !!" Ha ! I miss him, every day.
Andy Williams - 'Music to Watch Girls By'. At some point in 90s Britain this song was on a car ad and got a bit popular. I duly went out and bought the cd single.

My parents always hated " Point Of Know Return " by Kansas...the fadeout repeating " How Long " drove them nuts..which made me play it even more
Great Tune
I agree with your parents on that one. Lol.
Love that song. My second concert. KANSAS/ 8️⃣0️⃣. PALLADIUM. NYC.
My dad was in a state of shock one day when I played the first Mr Bungle album. Same when I played Jane Doe by Converge.
Another fabulous fun filled show on a Saturday afternoon here in NJ. 🇺🇸. Steven/. Simon. & Pete. It’s always a blast. Thx trio 👍💯
Thanks Gary!
@@TranquilityFireReid / thank you. Always entertaining/ Grandpa- but a cool one ☝️ at that. Lol 👍💯

😮
it's worse when your parents actually like your music. My mom loved Kiss!
@@63mckenzie😂
Your dad is a very smart man
Great episode. We`ve all been there.
Going back about 45 years, it was Status Quo's Piledriver album that did it for my friend's grandmother. She came in and said, 'I don't mind what you listen to but not that thump thump thump.' Her face was a picture. Barry Manilow was more her thing...
I like that Pete was actually trying to play music he thought his wife might like. It's not like Pete was playing Slayer 😆😅
...but close.😅
My kind of show!

Let’s see- I worked in an office where 2 people said they hated the Beatles. Nobody’s perfect! I guess I can understand the hatred towards Kiss and the Doors. But the Beatles?!
John Lennon had a naslaly Voice is something that people can't get passed. Most people prefer the George Harrison Vocals
One of the best UK Connections episodes, thanks chaps. It was very funny and I expect most of us have had the same experiences. You should now do the opposite show, where you discuss SoT paradigm music that your family members love to listen to!
Mrs Simon and my youngest child don't listen to any SoT paradigm music by choice. My eldest is a total metalhead.
@@simonbrayfromsot1375Mrs Brian doesn't either to be fair....however if you did do the episode, you could call it 'Turn that shit up!'
Totally agree. There are a few songs I have managed to brainwash my family with and a few bands my wife actually recognises. I get a sense of achievement when that happens.
I’ve liked RUSH as long as I can remember. My dad used to say MANY TIMES “ Turn off that noise. That freak screams like a banshee “!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome episode as always fellas. I even enjoy the alcohol discussion at the start.

Have a good feeling about this one….
As do I. Always a fun show.
One of my girlfriends I was with for 5 years in my 20’s had pretty much the same musical tastes as me and that was like dream come true.
Okay 5 albums that probably are some succesful contenders for this:
John Zorn Naked City
Scott Walker Bish Bosch
Ornette Coleman Free Jazz
Tangerine Dream Zeitgeist
And...for sure The Shaggs Philosophy of the World
"The drift" is even more extreme than "Bish bosch"
My dad told me to turn off Magnum!!!! Then one day he had obnoxious noisy neighbours then told me to play it as loud as I could. I told him I wasnt going to pleasure their ears.
As a lifelong Steely Dan obsessive, it brings tears to my eyes to think that anyone would say, "turn that off." But I get it. Donald Fagen's voice can be an acquired taste, and "Countdown to Ecstasy" in particular is The Dan's least accessible album, by far.
Cats in Space, though? Who wouldn't love Cats in Space?
Disney's 1978 movie "The Cat From Outer Space" with the late Ken Berry!!
Driving around with my daughter who at the time was about 11-13 years old I was playing Grand Funk's "Closer To My Home". When they were repeating the title over and over at the end (which DOES go on forever!) she screamed at me to turn it off!
And to add to the outdoor heard by the neighbours thing....do not play any Acid Mothers Temple outside... and we share a border with 6 sets....four of whose lawns died that fateful day!
Cirith Ungol is a great choice. I had to have the tshirt. And then, after I went back to +Frost and Fire+ had to have that t-shirt as well. The glory that is Tim Baker!
When my wife saw what this episode was about, her exact words were "Where do I begin?"
Had Opeth’s Ghost Reveries on wife walked in ‘turn that fucking shit off its horrible’
Steven Reid: lack of appreciation for Type O Negative is grounds for divorce. I'd consider it.
Jeff, maybe that explains why myself and my other half of 34 years have never married??? lol!!
A great episode! Our local pub has a new juke box...to my delight, thousands of great tunes, at least, to me. And some great long ones. 23mins of Echoes by The Floyd followed by the song Close to the Edge made me flavour of the month.."Where's the bloody Abba" or Take That..?

Fun show gents!
Great topic. My wife has many!!!
1. Rush
2. Metallica
3. Van Halen
4. Black sabbath
5. Deep purple.
Always look forward to the uk connection, great viewing guy's 👍 👌
A friend's dad demanded we turn off Hawkwind's Space Ritual. 'That's evil music!' he thundered like a hellfire preacher. 😂 Ah, those were the days.

The ladies in your lives seem quite sensible and correct. I agree with them as to most of the artists mentioned!
The strongest, most "memorable" negative reaction that I can recall was when my dad stomped into my bedroom, grabbed and flung Alice Cooper's 'Killer' LP across the room.
He apparently wasn't impressed with the lyrical content of 'DeadBabies'.
Great Show!!
My Dad’s greatest moment. Driving me and some friends to the mall..we had him put on Twisted Sister “Can’t Stop Rock ‘n Roll”…during the title track where they keep repeating the title he turns around and goes “Oh Yeah?” And turns it off and keeps driving…We couldn’t help but laugh.
Great episode! Always great to see Steven repping Comus!
All extreme metal and most more out there prog with my parents: At the Gates At war with reality (perhaps their "softest" album), King Crimson Islands during the car ride - At the Gates lasted 15 seconds, King Crimson roundabout a minute before they turned it of. Both like ITCOTCK and I even showed them Lizard which seemed alright. They rarely get into new music at their age, maybe once a decade a new artist so I was quite surprised that Porcupine Tree and Steven Wilson are all the rage ever since their reunion.
I also met with a bigger group last year and somehow forgot that most of them listened to metal adjacent music, so Public Enemy got quite a few sour comments but Immortal At the Heart of Winter seemed fine.
Superb, many thanks lads.
Another fun UK Connection. That Comus album is scary.
I was playing Octopus in work and one of my colleagues asked who I was listening to? (he likes Behemoth) I said Gentle Giant and he replied it's weird. When I have to work with my team colleagues, it is preferable to them if I have earphones on.
My daughter's comment no Gentle Giant was, "Dad, there's a LOT going on there....!" 😂
@@TranquilityFireReid my colleagues have a raised eyebrow attitude to the music I listen to. Death Metal, Black Sabbath and AC/DC is fine, but Norwegian Prog and Haken is ......
In reply to your question from the last show (TH-cam kept deleting my reply) the Tull sets were from all your music on e-bay. The deal at that moment was buy 2 get 25% off. It took weeks to arrive, I suspect they came from America.
@@daicullinane7746 I'll need to keep an eye on them, that was a great deal.
When I was ten or so i was really starting to get into rock 'n' roll. it was 1990 but I basically started witht he roots, and listened to a lot of oldies radio shows, had a bunch of Jerry lee Lewis, Chuck Barry and Elvis tapes. My dad was really into jazz and Latin music and classical; not so much rock anymore, and especally not the du-wop and 50s stuff, which they would play a lot of on the radio (and at that age I quite liked some of it myself). I didn't really realise this at first and thought my dad would share my enthusiasm for this music, it being the "stuff of his youth" and all that. The parents were pretty good about tolerating my music even when I was a teen and listening to metal, but after a whole night of "dooo waaa ditty dum doowopa-dee-lalalalaaaa shaboom shaboom" on the living room stereo, my dad finally snapped and said "Can somebody shut these guys up?!? Why do we have to listen to this sh*t*!!!?" It was so funny. One time I also had a tape with a few cool songs I liked, but a bunch of pretty smaltzy stuff like perry Como. We were driving in the car with my sister, and it was a pretty long drive -- this song came on that went "ther's a wheel, and it goes round round round and it spins along with a happy song", and my dad goes: "if you don't turn this off now, I'm going to throw up!"
The other thing, that neither of my parents liked, was swearing. Brought home an Ice T tape once and my mum, suspicious, took a listen. That one went in the garbage.
I'm 66 and blessed with 21 year old twins, and we love going up to Scotland as often as we can, which entails a very long drive from the English Midlands, so lots of great music for me on the CD player, which usually means King Crimson, Katatonia, Iamthemorning, Big Big Train, or Riverside etc,,,
They are not keen on any of it, except they both like a bit of Springsteen and my son insists that every long journey begins with a big singalong to Born in the USA, with him mangling the lyrics!
I did manage to get their mother into Crimson at one point, but sadly the first concert I took her too was the Thrak tour, which is probably their most inaccessible period, and that was the end of that :)
Pete, thanks for attempting to educate people on Jazz!
That was brilliant 👍 so funny ❤SOT
OMG . How can Mrs Simon not like Kickstart the Sun? Simon you need to have a word . And that Jimmy Saville reference!!
I just reported the facts, Elaine!
@@simonbrayfromsot1375 Buy her a ticket for Stockport please!
episodes about music that "sucks" give me so much entertainment.
Great show 👍 Growing up as a metalhead my parents were tolerant to anything I listened to no matter how loud. There was only one time my Mam told me to turn off my music and that was Ice T, OG album. Too much bad language on that one 😂
I have a love for the old Residents albums - from Meet the Residents on to God In Three Persons where I lost the thread - and they are albums I play when no one else is around. My wife is blissfully tolerant of most of the music I play. Empath by Devin Townsend was a big step too far for her and was one of the few times I was asked to turn it off.
Great show... Lots of laughs. I love Sparks, but I can see and know people that don't just get it, luckily my daughter got it.
VDGG and Peter Hammill's solo stuff makes my wife's skin crawl. Thank goodness for headphones :)
LOL great show guys. The main one that comes to my mind is my mom. When The Dirty deeds album was brand new, my friend and I were playing it. and the song big balls came on and my mom threw a shit fit. As the years went on, we always joked what my mom about it. And she joked right back. Ah, the memories. LOL.
It would be interesting if there was a future sequel to this episode where Pete, Steve and Simon tell us what band/artists their families listen to that have them screaming, turn that s*it off!
There's something about Steely Dan that makes my female family members and friends recoil
With good reason, though they normally put me to sleep.
There’s gotta be a bula bula quo from Steven on this show.
Haha! When that comes on my family are happy to hear the song but want to switch me off!!!
Its really reassuring as a Guy, I am not alone, my Mrs the same. But I took her for a weekend with pendragon and she loved it and recently Karnataka.
I absolutely lòve this episode, lot of laughs.., and even more fun being there when the three musketiers make up the rules for the next episode… this is for musicnerds and I lòve it!!
I played "Hell Awaits" in my room back in the ‘80s, and my mom came into my room; «what the hell are you listening to!? This is not music!!» - then se looked at the album cover, saw the song title "Necrophiliac", and told me to get rid of that «satanic noise» and never bring it into the house again.
Great show🥃🥃🥃
Dad freaked out when I turned on Caress of Steel.
Always fun for the whole family: some of John Zorn's stuff like Naked city or Moonchild.
And of course "The Peel sessions" by Napalm death
My mom lost her mind when I played Cygnus X-1 at full volume....especially the ending. Can't say I blame her.
Nice video. 😃👍
I remember lending some Frank Gambale albums to my friend and he told me his girlfriend said she would leave him if he 'didn't turn that sh*t off!'
Oh man, all I can think about now is Mrs. Pardo covered in water and beer at that Allman Brothers Band concert that Pete took her too. She must really not like them even more now!
Mead is the drink of Vikings yeahhhh Simon
Great show guys!! you had me cracking up!! Loved Simons comment on Donkey Porn!! and Pete I got the same shit from my Dad about Kiss!
Nothing brings the hate faster than Captain Beefheart and his Magic Band.
My girlfriend and I are in our mid twenties and a few years ago I picked her up from work. I had Jethro Tull’s Thick as a Brick in the car’s stereo. She gets in and before she says hello she says “I don’t know what this is, but it needs to stop”
Wow i couldn't live without coffee, at home filter only ❤❤
In 2012 I discovered the music of Sunn O))) & even then I was well aware they were not to everyone’s taste. The first thing I ever bought & played on my Hi-Fi system was their Monoliths & Dimensions album. I had it up good n’ loud & my partner said “what is this shit you are listening to”, suffice to say she wasn’t a fan. She still isn’t 12 years & 11 albums (including collaborations) later.
Deicide - Dead By Dawn , Nazareth - Ballad of Hollis Brown, and Pink Floyd - Several Species of Small Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving With a Pick are the only songs that multiple people begged me to shut off.
Love Dead by Dawn 😀that chant part man and the treatment on Glen Benton's vocals...it's just so unforgiving and relentless. Put it on for the neighbours you hate!
Deicide is the Slayer of death metal! Great band, but I prefer Slayer more though. Nonetheless awesome band. Glen Benton's bass playing and vocals are great, but Steve Asheim is a great drummer and the best member of the band. The Hoffmann Brothers are great guitar players, but later on got 2 talented players within Ralph Santolla and Jack Owen. Drums in metal have to be tremendous. Guitar players are great, but drummers make the faster beat/heavy sound.
Who doesn't love Miles Davis or John Coltrane? I grew up listening to this along with my dad's love of country and folk music. Mum was all musicals and rock'n'roll. They happily put up with Big Country, Iron Maiden, ZZ Top and Magnum! At least I wasn't going out and buying really poppy stuff!
*WOW, Steven, you have really loving daughters! ( That Celtic Frost Vinyl box costs 170€!) That is quite a very expensive gift!*
Enjoying another greatly entertaining show this week with a rather "smooth & satisfying" 6.5% Old Crafty Hen.
Only really 3 albums spring to mind that the other half can't abide.
"Mëkanïk Dëstruktïẁ Kömmandöh" (or anything else) by Magma - no, no and again no! 🤐
"In Rock" by Deep Purple - or anything featuring "That Whiny Man" on vocals 🤨
I would never, never, be rash enough to play Comus for the missus 😇
That's how rash I am Jim!! Sounds like a good beer. Cheers!
The Mentors. Over the top. Words can’t describe this. Beware. 😮
This was hilarious only just got round to watching it reminds of the days as a teenage metal head the quicker my mom would shout up the stairs to turn it down the better the band! I only had napalm death on for a few seconds before she yelled to turn that shxt down!😂
My dad said that to me - without any actual swear word - as a teenager when I was in fact using an electric razor.
I was 14 years old and listening to Ted Nugent’s live gonzo album on a tape player in the kitchen. My mum comes home from work just as Ted says “if you came here to get mellow you can just turn around and get the fuck out of here” She picked up here bags and did just that.
Well at least it wasn’t the intro to Wang Dang Sweet Poontang🤣🤣🤣🤣
Love Kiss and Opeth stories
Great topic - my wife will not countenance Bjork in any form in the house and hates harmonicas with a passion so Dylan is always in trouble
