  1. I think jeff just wanted to play the lead riff and not be so cluttered with more guitars, Jesus etc is pretty simple. PLUS jay is an amazingly smooth keyboard player. In the end the lesson is you can't lose with any instrument Jay played.

  2. He is getting older and with his spine problems as he explains in ashes of american flags, I could see him out of the band within 5 years. I think he is a very good player and the band won't kick him out but he will probably move on or retire so to speak. Wilco has a grueling schedule and so far only two men have lasted, whose to say whats next. Eventhough jeff says he is happy with the form of the band, something like a health problem would be one of the only reasons to break these 6 guys up. He just wants to defy gravity and float but his body doesnt like when he goes nuts on stage. Who would replace him? What do you think? Do they even need a replacement with tweedy and pat playing as well as they have?

  3. Awesome show last night... my ears are still ringing this morning.

     

    A couple of random notes:

     

    - Saw Glen after the show going to the bus, and someone was talking with him about how they hadn't played one of the songs in the set in 5 years. Anyone know which song this was? Summer Teeth? Reservations?

     

     

    It has to be In a future age i love that song very jay bennett i think....

  4. After the death of Pigpen, the Grateful Dead pretty much played the same mix of songs from about 1973 to the time Brent Mydland passed away in 1990 . They kicked ass in the process.

     

    wait what are you talking about the dead played different every night and they had 6 or 7 studio albums of all new songs going into their sets after pig pen dies. after he dies they arguably had the most new material ever for their band. they are no the band to compare wilco to in this sense.

  5. this article is dumb. how could u fuck the lyrics for she's a jar up. like if you're going to quote a line from the song maybe listen to the song first lol. does this person even listen to the songs or even own a copy of summerteeth?

  6. i dont care about this because its petty who gives a fuck about any of you guys Like honestly i was pissed when i wrote that i tried to apologize and new people come on here and bait me when i never intended to bait anyone if though you all say i did.

     

    I dont want you guys to do anything I DONT CARE like its weird when you say something and people think your saying something else

  7. Does your girlfriend or wife just roll their eyes at wilco. Mine does. Omg it pisses me off! Its so sad because wilco is so important to me. She loves Jam Bands. I have even said if jerry or trey (Phish) sang any of these songs she'd love them. She agrees.

     

    Its hopeless.....

  8. I agree it is kind of phony... but there were a ton of people who did understand Jay's significance to the band before he died and were supportive of Jay. The fact is most of us would probably not be fans of Wilco if Jay hadn't been in the band helping create the masterpieces of Summerteeth and YHF. Maybe his death has made some people actually come to grips with this realization as they were obviously in denial of it prior to his death.

     

    I never wanted to bait anyone. I dont even want to argue

     

    I think that too. Its all sad. His death, the phonies, everything. I'm just putting on It Hurts......
