DocShock Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 By your theory, we should be listenting to some incredible masterpieces from Jay Bennett. Where are they? Personally I think Jays last album "Whatever Happened I Apologize" is very good. Sure, its maybe not a masterpiece but I think it is a great album all the way through. This is however my opinion, I'm sure there will be disagreements Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Jules Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 In terms of technical mastery he is up there, but I think he limits Jeff and doesn'tchallenge him enough.Jeff disagrees, and he's probably a better judge of this than you are. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sweet Papa Crimbo Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 "Tense rivalry within the band" is often what drives great artists to challenge themselves. Man...I'd HATE to be your co-worker. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lamradio Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Rooney, I like Nels but he doesn't hold a candle to what Jay brought to the table. And yes, just my opinion and I don't expect all to agree. In terms of technical mastery he is up there, but I think he limits Jeff and doesn'tchallenge him enough. I don't want to turn this into a Nels vs. Jay thread, but don't get me wrong, Jay was/is a badass guitarist.. But Nels has that jazz/fusion/experimental/free/chaotic style that Jay didn't have, and that is just more appealing to me. Plus he does a fine job of pulling off the stuff that Jay used to do. At first I didn't think so, but when he melted my face off during the "Forget the Flowers" solo in Asheville, I changed my mind. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NewMadridMO Posted May 15, 2009 Author Share Posted May 15, 2009 CrowDaddy, I guess I mean more "tension" rather than "tense rivalry". Rivalry implies more of a negative kind of tension. And Wendy, You're right. Jay's solo career has been underwhelming to say the least. I guess I'd call it a mutually beneficial relationship. And one that I miss.

Synthesizer Patel Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Jeff disagrees, and he's probably a better judge of this than you are. I'd say he's a worse judge actually, seeing as how he's the person doing the art. Otherwise I'd have gotten straight A's at school for what I personally thought about my work.

J_Lefty Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 I don't want to turn this into a Nels vs. Jay thread Isn't that the underlying argument in all the new vs. old threads? Maybe there should just be a death-match to see who will reign supreme? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

At first I didn't think so, but when he melted my face off during the "Forget the Flowers" solo in Asheville, I changed my mind. I love that version, and Nels appeared on fire throughout the show. he takes the steel into so many different directions. I think the comment about JB shopping for keyboards is appropo because I think, as good as he was, he was always about recreating someone else's sound. Nels is his own man.

Preferred B Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 The song about "house chores" was written in the Uncle Tupelo days. I think people have a lot of incorrect ideas of when (and in response to what) some songs were written. (As Jules pointed out.) The choice of when to release them, I guess, would be the only applicable point. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
