    Neil Young

    in Someone Else's Song

    Posted

    Seems like a really time for Neil not to either tour or release some music...I guess we will see him the RRHOF with Pearl Jam. 

     

    I wonder what he is going to do next...Crazy Horse, CSNY, Solo, Promise......

    "Billions" Wilco reference

    in Just A Fan

    Posted

    It was great.....I don't think it was that far off the truth as far as Bennett issues but yes we all know Wilco did evolve after YHF but pretty cool that the writer (or whoever came up with this scene) had the Jeff and Jay story.

     

    We should come up with list of references in shows and movie (not just when they play as song but when they actually talk about it).

     

    Other one I remember with How I met Your Mother (the threesome episode).

    Disgusting new ticketmaster trend!

    in Someone Else's Song

    I agree ticketmaster is not good but know that it is the artist that makes these decisions on this and in fact the "ticketmaster fee" is also shared with the artists/promoter.  Live Nation/Ticketmaster controls it.

     

    The artist can do it however they want.  Look at Springsteen/the Stones.  Bruce has like 2 prices and $125 is top.....stones $300/$500 min lower level.

    The Sex Pistols are frauds.

     

    I agree and I don't think that the HOF is a fraud.  Do they have any room for improvement, for sure.  They need to diversity that is a fact.  Many genres need more in (Heavy Metal, New Wave/post punk, soul).  I think that this year nominations were pretty good (19 in total).   The voting peeps are out of touch (not the nomination committee).

    This will be a great time for them to finally get Steve back in the band. Then they go back on tour and play those same few songs for a number of years. I always hated that band. Of course, the early albums are a different animal. But I never got into those either.

     

     And Yes can get Jon back and do a re-union tour. 

     

    I am glad Pearl Jam is getting in there. One of the greatest bands of all times. I don't think I will buy any new albums they make - but they are still great. 

    Steve Perry is the wild card this year....Jon wants in, so he will get in (at least for the ceremony). 

     

    PJ is deserved for first time eligible (a rare thing).  The only act that is getting this year that has been previously nominated is Yes.  All others are first time nominated.  I was hoping for 7 so maybe the Cars would get in or J Giels. 

     

    Shame that Chic could not crack the voters (nominated 11 times).  I guess they finally gave up and will give Nile a "musical excellence". 

     

    The other moral is if they want to get more Hip Hop in (rappers), they need to only nominate 1 at a time.

    I Heard the Cover Version First

    in Someone Else's Song

    Posted

    I heard Cyndi Lauper doing Girls Just Want to Have Fun before the Robert Hazard original version.

     

    I heard Cyndi Lauper doing Money Changes Everything before the Brains original version.

    Not sure I ever heard the hazard version and it says on wiki that he only recorded a demo. Curious to hear it
