Jesusetc84 Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I can already hear all the big burly convicts singing in unison to him in the shower..."BE MY BE MY BABYYYYY" sorry...had to. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moss Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I would have been pretty shocked if he got away with it, even with his celebrity. The circumstances were just too overwhelming. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gobias Industries Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Yeah, the evidence was kind of overwhelming. I wonder if he'll be remembered more for his producing abilities or this...because this is virtually a death sentence for him. I doubt the guy has many years left in him.

I doubt the guy has many years left in him.I think, unfortunately, it'll be 50/50. The nut who was one of rock's greatest producers. He was always going to be remembered for being weird, but now that'll take front seat to his amazing productions. At the same time they should throw his moronic ass in jail.

Lammycat Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Great producing aside, he's still a murderer at the end of the day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dondoboy Posted April 14, 2009 Author Share Posted April 14, 2009 Great producing aside, he's still a murderer at the end of the day.That's my point as well. To hell with the "Wall of Sound". Good riddance. It makes me sad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hardwood floor Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I wonder if he'll be remembered more for his producing abilities or this...because this is virtually a death sentence for him. when you hear the name OJ Simpson, do you think of a hall of fame running back or a murderer? same deal with spector his producing genius will be forgotten Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dondoboy Posted April 14, 2009 Author Share Posted April 14, 2009 You look at that photo and your first instinct is to look at that hair. But that mug underneath is no GQ ad. He looks like a turtle or something. There's nothing at all right about that picture. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What you should really be asking yourself is what kind of crazy fuckjob does his hair like that for a murder trial? Good riddance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lammycat Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 There's nothing at all right about that picture.I disagree. I think the kerchief, shirt, and jacket match up fairly smartly (though the buttons on the shirt kind of distract from the hair....). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mountain bed Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 That's my point as well. To hell with the "Wall of Sound". Good riddance. It makes me sad.From now on, when you think of the Wall of Sound, just picture this bad-ass rig - it will make you feel MUCH better: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moss Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 He was always a mousie looking dude. Even way back in his Easy Rider cameo. My Brother in law wears glasses like these. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cgoodwin22 Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 i can't believe that goofy mutha f##ka shagged Ronnie Spector. She was hot as balls back in the day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He never ventured far from it. Oh, and he's a murderer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouieB Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Now he has long straight hair. Is any of this real? How come so many rock stars never go bald?? LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Synthesizer Patel Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Great producing aside, he's still a murderer at the end of the day. i don't know. i think there should be a rule that for every 10 great singles someone makes they're allowed to kill at least one person - that's fair.

Littlebear Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Well, lets say he came up with a great technique. He never ventured far from it. Oh, and he's a murderer. The sound he created for the Ronettes and many others in the sixties was wonderful. A deeper insight would probably show its claustrophobic and dement aspect as well. Which of course doesn't make it less fascinating. The guy is really insane and should have been helped clinically. But they simply don't make artists like that anymore. I'm sure one day they'll make a movie. There's more to be told about him than Ray Charles or Johnny Cash, and morals will have nothing to do with it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Winston Legthigh Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I never liked the production on All Things Must Pass. Too much going on in songs like Wah Wah. Let It Be... Naked is WAY superior to Spector's version. But, he held back on Plastic Ono Band, and that album is sparse genius... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I do still bust out my Phil Spector Christmas album every year as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
