Chendizzle Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 What Light?, you seem confused about why your posts have raised so many hackles. It has nothing to do with cliques, and everything to do with your tone. People reacted badly to your posts not because you expressed an unpopular opinion, but because you coupled that opinion with a smug, patronizing tone. You implied that anyone with a differing take must, without exception, be guilty of blind fan worship or plain ignorance. You then refused to engage with opposing arguments, choosing to instead dismiss them as merely the addled opinions of thoughtless, uneducated lemmings. What it boils down to is this: You took a rigid position on an artist that you openly acknowledge you have limited experience with, and that churlish arrogance is what ticked people off. Surely you can see why your unfounded, condescending generalizations might make some people defensive? Even the most thoughtful, well explained posts (such as this) directed towards What Light? fail to have any impact on him; it seriously makes me question his reading comprehension.

bobbob1313 Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 I'm so glad essox500 is back, albeit under a different name. Hey, Orkie, can you tell us how Easy Tiger would've been better with more orchestral reprises? And also, tell us how much you dislike Bright Eyes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Candy Floss Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 i don't kno if any of you know this, but in deffense ryan adams being said to have copied gram parsons on 'easytiger,' ryan didn't listen to any music except hip-hop during the writing and production o the album, so he couldn't draw on those influences Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Written so matter-of-factly, like hip-hop erases a person's memory. It might make you a little stupid, but erase your memory, no. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ction Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 I happen to be a songwriter. In 12th grade, I was in a band with no name that never played a show. We did, however, perform one original song during our practices...a song I wrote called "Strip Poker". At the time, I was listening to almost nothing but DC hardcore and The Misfits, yet my brilliant composition reflected none of those influences. "Strip Poker" was an AC/DC-ish mid-tempo bluesy rock song. I know I'm rambling here, but my point is...I've never really heard any Gram Parsons. Can someone ysi me a mix? P.S. The chorus for "Strip Poker", which is the only part I can remember, went like this: "I saw her nudeNo it's not lewdWe played strip poker Don't call me rudeDon't be a prudeLet's play strip poker" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
caliber66 Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 I've never really heard any Gram Parsons. Can someone ysi me a mix?He sounds like a combination of Glen Campbell and Ryan Adams. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
