solace Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 why would they cut down Impossible Germany? that's just silly. because bands only get like 4-4.5 minutes on SNL & Late Night TV... Link to post Share on other sites
mountain bed Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 because bands only get like 4-4.5 minutes on SNL & Late Night TV...That's nearly always true, although I did see Zappa Plays Zappa do Willie the Pimp on Conan for a good 8 minutes awhile back. Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 That's nearly always true, although I did see Zappa Plays Zappa do Willie the Pimp on Conan for a good 8 minutes awhile back. awesome. yeah there's been a few exceptions... Pearl Jam played 2 songs back to back (for a total of 3) in '94 just after Cobain died Link to post Share on other sites
Dr. Steve Brule Posted February 25, 2008 Author Share Posted February 25, 2008 R.E.M. got three in 1995, but the writing was REALLY awful then. Link to post Share on other sites
parisisstale Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 It'll probably be Walken and Hate It Here, which is alot of fun but also really corny. My two would be Impossible Germany and Side With The Seeds, but I know that'll never happen. Link to post Share on other sites

solace Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 It's not now? yeah, it's pretty bad now, although this weekends was quite good, mostly due to to Tina Fey though, not the actual staff i'm guessing Link to post Share on other sites
watch me fall Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Why all the hate for "Hate it Here"? Link to post Share on other sites
cryptique Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Why all the hate for "Hate it Here"?Not my favorite, but far better than "What Light" imo. I certainly wouldn't mind if they played that one. I'm still holding out hope for an SBS song in the first slot and an older tune in the second (something energetic). And if the SBS song could be "Impossible Germany" -- full-length -- that would definitely make them some new fans. With the horn section reportedly in tow, however, I'd expect "Hate It Here" and/or "Walken" will be on the agenda. Link to post Share on other sites
mizzoustance Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 I saw Jeff after the show Friday night. He told me and the group I had with me about SNL, and was very pumped about it. He said they'd play Hate It Here and another SBS song. Talking to him, it sounded liek You are My Face was the probable second song. Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Why all the hate for "Hate it Here"? it's the lyrics for me mostly... sure they are funny/cute, but to the average person i can see them finding the lyrics pretty dumb (and not in a top 40 pop single sorta way). It's just not exactly a song i'd want to use to introduce new people to the band personally... and i'm not too big on how Jeff sings "i haaaaaaaaaaaaaaateitheeeeere" either i don't hate it, but it's certainly towards the bottom on SBS for me... i could ask the same question... why all the hate for "What Light"? honestly anyone who loves Dylan should love that song IMO, no it's not the best song on SBS, but still.

He said they'd play Hate It Here and another SBS song. Talking to him, it sounded liek You are My Face was the probable second song. I'd be SO much happier with You Are My Face, as opposed to Walken. Walken has a great finish, but I've always found the body of the song to be clunky and awkward. Hate if Here will sound great....especially if the supposed extra musicians tagging along. (I still hope for a surprise and hearing Side With the Seeds.....the guitar work on the song is so awesome.) Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 both of these are my least favorite songs on SBS. for me: Awesome: Impossible GermanyYou Are My FaceSide With The Seeds Great: Either Way Good: Shake It OffWhat LightOn and On and OnSky Blue Sky Ok: Please Be Patient With MeWalken Eh: Hate It HereLeave Me (Like You Found Me) Strrrrrrrrrrrrrrrretch. ^most anyone? like i said, i don't think it's amazing, but i don't think it's anywhere near the bottom either. it was an obvious first single choice for me (just the ex-music director in me talking ) I'd be SO much happier with You Are My Face, as opposed to Walken. Walken has a great finish, but I've always found the body of the song to be clunky and awkward. Hate if Here will sound great....especially if the supposed extra musicians tagging along. (I still hope for a surprise and hearing Side With the Seeds.....the guitar work on the song is so awesome.)re: Walken... totally agree... clumsy/clunky is a great way to describe it's verses and chorus up until the ending. You Are My Face & Side With The Seeds would be tits Impossible Germany & Thanks I Get (w/ horns) would be tits 'n ice cream Link to post Share on other sites

cryptique Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 is that it? do you not like Dylan? if so, that makes all the sense in the world now... I love Dylan. I just don't see any real Dylan comparison in "What Light." OK, yeah, maybe Jeff's vocal delivery is vaguely reminiscent during the verses ... but that doesn't make it a Dylanesque song.
