Guest Black Witcher Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Wilco post A Ghost Is Born is boring.I mean this for live shows and recordings.There is nothing on the last two records that is new or exciting musically in any way.Playing average songs in a room together isn't exciting.Using the "Studio as an Instrument" on boring songs isn't exciting.Playing boring "hits" laden set lists is not exciting. Nels Cline is a gifted musician.He plays boring and predictable and kind of wanky shit with Wilco.I listen to his other recordings and have a hard time believing it's the same guy on these average records.He should be let go to focus on recordings of a higher quallity where he can showcase his textural and technical ability. That Pronto record is pretty hot too. It's really a shame to me that Wilco has become a paint by numbers rock band.I really liked them from Being There to Ghost.I guess I'm just not ready for these brave musical steps they are taking these days. Playing "great" live shows that consist of thirty songs out of whatever doesn't make up for boring records.If it's so great live then stop making records. Ppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp Fart Ramble. I'm dissapointed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

How can they be "a paint by numbers rock band" and "take brave musical steps" at the same time? You disappoint...and confuse me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ghost of Electricity Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Is your name Ken? or maybe Leroy? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ray Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Please don't insult Ken or Leroy like that. Anyway, reactions like the original poster are good because they serve as physical evidence that the band is on the right track. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You disappoint...and confuse me. The brave musical steps part was a joke.Like when someone asks if my name is Leroy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Black Witcher Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Off the top of my head I'd say that Bull Black Nova is far from boring. Bull Black Nova is a nice song.I like it and three other songs on Wilco(the Album).It is not far from boring.Just beacause it has a little bit of noise and a little bit of tensiondoesn't make it jarring or exciting. It just makes it an alright song with a little bit of tension. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mpolak21 Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Now this would be an appropriate use of the Troll picture...but it offends the intelligentsia around here. I believe the politically correct term is short bridge dwelling individual, Crow. They can call each other trolls, but prefer us not to use that term. And yeah, if you want to just copy your "nice first post" thing from before, and put it here, that'd be fine. --Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Black Witcher Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Here is another contradiction of yours; or is this just a joke also. You start with "boring live shows" then you finish with the "live shows are great." I thought the quotation marks around great would've been a dead giveaway. I'm just not interested in seeing them play live again until they start playing "Shot in the Arm" and"I'm the Man Who Loves You" again. Read that.Now think really hard.Write back and tell me if you think it was a joke. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ghost of Electricity Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 To me this is the troll post. --MikeYou must have meant "this is a droll post," as this is how it was intended. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
