MUSIC: the official thread.

See...here we have a problem.
Chris Squire of Yes blasts this guy out of the water, bass-wise..but if I'd posted a version of his bass-classic 'The Fish (Schindleria praematurus)' - you be all over it, badly, like white-on-rice. :fightme:

 

But not true

 

That isn't a solo. It's the subversion of the idea of a solo, done with technical skill. Beefheart was real punk.

 

Excellent!!
The Doobie Brothers are good. (even cdogg will atest to that)
'Toulouse Street', 'The Captain And Me', 'Stampede', 'Minute By Minute' - all great albums.

However, one of the best quotes I heard about this band was by Dave Lee Roth: "you know what freeze-dried coffee looks like? That's what The Doobie Brothers sound like." ::

 

Punk....good one about Jeff 'Skunk' Baxter - I never knew about that!

 

...and unless they had Little Feat opening for them.

 

this is sexy as hell

Strange...I was watching this last night...however, I much prefer 'The Passenger' from the same concert:

the Doobie Brothers were competent and yawn-inducing

Jeff Baxter is one of the most idiosyncratic, awesome guitarists ever... he's also a nazi

Little Feat...Lowell George? :dunno:

 

Is this part of that documentary series called 'Classic Albums', where they focussed on the whole making of 'Aja'? :dunno:

 

incredible solo

 

never cared for them, either, man

it's okay, but nothing I'd ever own

 

Me neither.
I had a phase...years ago....when I used to buy-up loads of albums by artists I'd never heard....and of course, this was pre-Internet days so you couldn't do any research.
Little Feat phase came and went pretty quick after 5 albums. :dunno:

 

yeah, the true believers will tell you there is some sort of Americana stew at work there, a sort of intellectual hybrid of the Meters, Dr. John, etc. ... just sounds like predictable white southern boogie to me... there are worse things, but I never got it

01:00 ::

 

:: I had that special on VHS but I don't know what I did with it

 

You can get it on DVD (as with all the series)

As a result, I'm back on a 'Dan-phase! :hammert:

 

The funniest one is Judas Priest's 'British Steel'...unintentionally funny, that is.

 

Yup, one of those people who is ridiculously well-schooled and could literally do ANYTHING

 

talk about stretching the meaning of "Classic"

that music is "Classic" if you are an aggressive poofter or a tone-deaf auto enthusiast
