    looks at calendar... nope, it's not January... :unsure

     

     

    The hype for this has collapsed in a way I've never seen before. Look for the street teamers to hit back hard.

     

    sadly their live show bored the absolute SHIT out of me a few years ago... i'm willing to give them another shot next month @ First Ave tho

     

    Don't do it. It's not even really live.

     

    instead most teenagers are wasting their time worshiping pink floyd or bad dance / rap music

     

     

    Umm..AC worships Barrett era Floyd and the Grateful Dead.

    The Jayhawks (including Louris, Olson, and related)

    They did???...oh yea....I remember....

     

    The show was great. Mark and Gary were completely on, singng great, telling funny stories, etc. Nice time.

    I was at the Park West and the Autumn Defense show was easily the worst live performance I've ever seen. The Olson/Louris performance lacked energy and focus. Not a very impressive night of live music to be sure.

    The Most Important Band in America

    in Someone Else's Song

    Posted

    Radiohead is British and they haven't released a good record since 2000....

     

    U2 is a much bigger band than Radiohead, but they haven't released a good album since 92.....

     

    Coldplay is a sales giant. X and Yand Rush of Blood are the two biggest rock releases this decade. They are British though.

     

    The criteria obviously has to be cutting edge artsy, great melodies and uniqueness. For American bands the last 20 years, that title *unquestionably* goes to the Flaming Lips. No other band, American or not has had a run of purely original,great work as this the last 20 years. No other band has such an original stage show:

     

    Hit to Death in the Future Head

    Transmissions From the Sattlite Heart

    Clouds Taste Metallic

    The Soft Bulletin

    Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots

     

     

     

    Game over.

     

     

    Oh,and the most important rock artist of all time is Chuck Berry.

    Great Song Openings

    in Someone Else's Song

    speaking of pink flod, what about Wish you were here?. the electric 12 string an Gilmour's fills

     

    also with Floyd, there's Not now John - "Fuck all that we gotta gone with these!"

     

     

    Floyd was/is the king of album openings and song openings in general. Speak to Me/Breathe, One of These Days, Shine On, WYWH, Atronomy Domine, Comfortably Numb, Pigs, Echoes, Run Like Hell, Another Brick, Weclome To the Machine, Have a Cigar, Time, Us and Them, Money etc the list goes on and on. And they did it beyond a bog standard guitar rock riff way. Very unique and cinematic.

    actually, that's my opinion

     

    and it's just as valid as yours

     

    the doors suck

     

    that song sucks

     

    if i have poor taste in music, then everything i like sucks, right? wilco, uncle tupelo, bottle rockets, old 97s, springsteen, son volt, steve wynn, calexico, aimee mann, joseph arthur, replacements, kate bush, robert earl keene, the go-betweens ...

     

    seriously, why do people feel the need to impose their opinions on others?

     

     

    You just did that in this thread.

    And a subtle opinion at that.

     

     

    Anyone who thnks "L.A. Woman" is a bad song has very poor taste in music. You can hate the Doors, but you can't deny the sheer greatness of that song.

     

     

     

    I'm not really that much of a PF fan, but I do like that song - except for the noisy parts, that is.

     

    The wind and space noises are actually Waters bass. The whale/seagull sounds are Wright's keyboard. The "re-emergence" part from the space void section is one of the coolest things ever made. Gets me every time. Really the template for so much that followed..

    Over the time in which Axl was in his self induced exile, it is now obvious that rather than an act of instability or social rejection this was an act of musical evolution. Gone are the days when Rose shared the GNR spotlight with any one musician. This new incarnation of the band is more reminiscent of a metal version of Arthur Lee's Love or Don Van Vilet's Beefheart. Axl is at the helm of this ship and it his personal evolution into new realms of sonic madness, totally foriegn to rock 'n' roll, that make Chinese Democracy nothing short of incredible. It is a record so conceptually powerful in its ideas, so innovative in its sounds, that it will single handidly change the standard by which all rock music is subsiquently compared.
