This weekend i'll be heading to Montreal to see Metallica for the 6th and 7th time in my life time. They have never disappointed and I don't expect them to start now. It's going to be a crazy weekend! But i'm heading in there Pimp Tight Zebra Stark Fuck G-Man style! Enjoy a track off their latest album!
Robbie Robertson - "Shine Your Light"
Also can't ignore the fact that we lost a Canadian musical legend today. He was 80 years old, but Robbie Robertson was hugely respected and influential on many musicians from all walks of life and genres. RIP
Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band - "Brave Strangers"
G-Man
The Offspring - "Spare Me The Details"
Continuing with my scouring of deep tracks from big time 90's/2000's bands. This one comes from The Offspring's 2003 album Splinter. Which I think was originally going to be titled Chinese Democrazy: You Snooze You Lose. Love it
A close friend to many of the Song Of The Day members was recently lost. Some of the guys have dedicated their picks this week to his memory. RIP Roger Rehel...
Rob
B.B. King - "The Thrill Is Gone"
Very sad to hear a great friend is gone, hope you Rest in Peace my friend. So many great memories, coffee bets on hockey games to just talking life and music! You were instrumental in our local Humane Society and helped me adopt a pup. I Cannot say enough about your character and anyone who had the privilege of knowing you would say the same
Mr. T
Gary Moore - "The Years Go Passing By"
Loved talking to Roger about music and guitar. One of my favourite parts about going to work back then was discussing music with the boys in Tool Repair. Roger introduced me to one of my now favourite Blues musicians Gary Moore
G-Man
Roy Buchannan - "The Messiah Will Come Again"
I do a segment on my Radio show called Living Legends. The idea is instead of singing someone's praises after they die, do it while they are still alive so they can hear them. I feel like I just pissed on that whole philosophy. Roger and I haven't spoke to each other in years due to his diagnosis with Parkinsons, but we texted frequently. He was a constant presence when I would broadcast and always gave me feedback on my shows. His opinions and advice left a mark on me, probably a holdover from when he was my manager. He was a damn good one at that. I thought I had more time to tell him. He was a boss I learned a lot from, but I truly considered him a friend. Rest easy Roger, we'll keep your legend alive
Doug
Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band - "Like A Rock"
When I heard that Roger had passed I put on some Bruce Cockburn, Joe Cocker and Bob Seger to try and pick a song that reminded me of him and the days that he would treat us to his iPod instead of the repetitive rotation of CHEZ. One of my favourite memories is the day he told G-Man and I that he regretted not giving Dave McGlashan a high five on Dave's last shift. Roger denying Dave that high five every day was one of the best running jokes in Tool Repair. Good times. RIP
G-Man Letters To Cleo - "Here & Now"
Sometimes I dream in song. The other night I had a dream of a familiar song that my mind associated with the band Letters To Cleo. I immediately sought out their biggest hit, which brought me to "Here & Now". It was nothing like the song in my dream. I'm forever grateful
Doug The Tragically Hip - "Machine"
Dano The Kills - "Love Is A Deserter"
Jonny HP Jimi Hendrix - "Star Spangled Banner"
Riiiick The Cool Kids - "Black Mags"
Mike D Lights - "Everybody Breaks A Glass" feat. Holy Fuck & Shad
Special Guest Pick(s) Lady Madonna Doghouse Rose - "The Carnival Show"
G-Man Stereophonics - "A Thousand Trees"
I have a soft spot for these British lads. Unique sound and uncompromising musical styles. This song is fantastic, pop-rock delight.
