Mark Lanegan appreciation thread. Former Screaming Trees vocalist.

[EXPcustom]

I mentioned in another thread as I find myself getting older I find my musical tastes changing, I just can't listen to Metallica or Megadeth's new stuff. Seems sophmoric to me but I get why the younger kids seem to like it still. Anyways it leads me to this thread about the late, great Mark Lanegan.

From his amazing second solo album Whiskey for the Holy Ghost to the newer stuff he did with the guitarist Alain Johannes from the band Eleven to working with Mike Johnson from Dinosaur Jr.

Lets not forget his work with the Screaming Trees and Mad Season with Layne Staley.

Hopefully I can turn on some people here to Mark's work that maybe getting bored of the same over driven cookie monster blast beat math metal.

I'm a fan.

Huge fan. His book is good. It seems as though he tried to recommend Nirvana to a few labels before they got big. Just imagine saying no to that..

It’s wild to think that most people in my home town, which is close to Ellensburg Washington, don’t know who Mark Lanegan or the Screaming Trees are..

His voice hits different… it’s gut wrenching sometimes listening knowing he’s gone

Also his singing with QOTSA was awesome.

Wait till the chorus:


Song for the Dead



Hanging Tree



God is In the Radio

Not familiar with all of his work but I’ve loved everything I’ve heard from him. Real deal
