pretty horrible movie BUT still a good bookmark in time for the 90s MUSICALLY, Would? is definitely the MVP as is their live clip in the movie playing It Ain't Like That.
the only thing i ever really pictured for this video was fireworks in the sky during the 'red, white, blue in the sky...' part and smiling kids running around playing...i guess it's close enough, still not sure about the concept, probably over-thought...BUT, i give points for not settling on bland obvious boringness and going for an actual story. the marilyn intro thingy is at least memorable.
jesus way too many comments, but all i'll say is this, D Lowery is a VERY smart man, i've followed him for years as i have the past couple years on FB and his own website...the Cracker magic of the 90s may have waned a bit, but his solo shit is great and the guy really really knows his shit. btw if you don't own Kerosene Hat and The Golden Age, you're missing out...2 of the best albums of the 90s without question.
The show in Detroit probably sounded a little better cuz of the indoor volume clarity, but it was not as fun as the outdoor vibe in Tinley Park...BUT, to see both shows was brilliant cuz they changed the set by at least 6 songs from one to the other. very cool, very surprising:) though i still think the high point was the Chicago show ending with Street Spirit, totally did NOT see that one coming...very oldschool and it sounded amazing.
i didn't compare them to the monkees. it's a completely mental ill comparison though, you're comparing an extremely talented modern band, the best band of modern music bar none who goes in 100 different musical directions with a classic rock straight forward band with a boring singer and and handful of good riffs...it's apples and plastic vaginas.
a few...but if you GO to the concerts, you see a giant cross-section of this country...it's actually pretty funny to watch, STILL mainly cool looking 25-40 yr olds BUT, funny 5+% of 'dads' out there too...saw a few pairs of Ben and Jerry looking guys a the Chicago show sunday, some moms too...some people of african decent as well. to me the only negative with RH hype is the inclusion of SOME meathead idiot fans the last 10 yrs, like Kid Rock lovin' type idiots...BUT, i'm still surprised that those types are still as few as they are thank god.
i'm guessing its just a personal whiney thing about Blackmore not being more guitar worshipped as he thinks he should be, he surly wasn't even mentioned on that horrible Spin top 100 list, THAT might it right there.
of fucking COURSE Radiohead is better than Deep Purple hahaha, it's not even fucking close! hahaha, to even ask that question is hilarious. that's like uhh idk Are the Monkees as good as The Stones? or something.
He can argue anything he wants and i totally actually understand his point but to make it sound like it's Radiohead's FAULT, it 100% ridiculous and off-base. Radiohead their whole careers have gone out of their way to be the anti-rockstars, the anti-Oasis cocky assholes. SO to whine about them directly is just asinine. MAYBE you could go after Thom Yorke if you really wanted to, BUT even then, all the 'proof' you need to see about them not wanting to be famous and worshipped is in Meeting People Is Easy where they nearly imploded cause they didn't WANT the spotlight! haha...oh Billy Billy. And Jonny Greenwood is a very respected guitarist but no one's naming him better than Jimmy Page etc, we LOVE him it's not the same thing. BUT maybe he's just mad cause he loves Ritchie Blackmore and is pissed he isn't listed higher in those 'best guitarist of all time' lists....who knows who cares.
READ the rolling stone story about this, it's really really fascinating...really needs to become a book and movie. http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/the-secret-life-of-transgender-rocker-tom-gabel-20120531
i love how they don't even ADDRESS the cover pic in this 'story' haha...when it's the ONLY thing we're gonna give a shit about unless this songs blows our doors off. but anyway, how DARE they put a topless girl on the cover, don't they know that legally you need to get a time machine and go back to the late 60s or 70s to be able to pull off that FILTH?! "HISSS HISSS"
I wonder if Shirley got confused and asked Silversun's singer how 'the gender reassignment process is going?' (rimshot) - heeeeth got a hiiigh voithe...(wahwah)
enjoy your 90s ignorance...90% of the bands pimped for lately by sgum and others wouldn't have been able to even GET a record contract in the 90s, and i'll stand by that til i die haha, 90%. Bon Iver woulda been laughed at, that Cox nob, same thing, etc etc etc.
ok i'm drawing a blank, somebody help me out...WHO the hell does Greg Dulli suddenly look like??? i'm thinking it might be a combination of 50-ish yr old actors from the 80s...like uhhh...the guy from Remo Williams...Fred Ward, 1/2 fred ward 1/2 robin williams?? haha something like that...
GARBAGE-NOT YOUR KIND OF PEOPLE. Haven't heard the whole album but it SURELY ranks above 60% of those fluff/hyped bands listed above...see their MTV Hive concert put out yesterday if you need a refresher course on their fucking flawless genius.
that was awesome, ESPECIALLY the Miss You...i pray theres so HQ video of that somewhere, NBC should be all over that...that's fucking history right there.
