Kid Gleason Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ May 9, 2006 -> 10:41 AM) Axl is a nut job. I wonder why he'd want to revive his career. He should still have enough money and he hated the fame, freaked out and became a hermit....and his voice is shot Slash can play with anyone he wants and Izzy always seemed content with laying low and out of the spotlight....and his record with the Ju Ju Hounds record was decent. Izzy has actually had about 4 albums since that first Ju Ju release, all of them better than that one. He stepped out of the limelight, but never stopped playing and recording, until the past 2 years or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats why I posted this, I never thought Axl would even consider playing with those guys again. Maybe Axl finally realized that he wasnt the only one on the previous records.

LosMediasBlancas Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 I was not at this show, but I bet this review is 100% accurate. These guys are the most overated band of the past 5 years or so. This is not rock n roll, it's the cure for insomnia. http://www.suntimes.com/output/derogatis/c...tr-sigur11.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their highs are ten times better than others can dream and the hit them every god damn night. They take the pressure off stage performance with fantastic videos they project behind them. I don't need the fat f*** jim derogatis to drool over the future embrace then claim sigur ros is a boring show. And more stupid potshots at "hopelandic" songwriting when most of takk was written in icelandic. He can go slob avril lavignes knob some more the dope.

We are supposedly talking about a live, rock n roll show, right? To each his own, but I find it ridiculous that these guys are categorized as rock music. They're records should be in the 'ambient' section right behind that Moby record that was mostly silence occasionally interrupted by sounds of a leaky faucet and f***in wind.

LMAO, took the words right out of my mouth I have been on a Jethro Tull fix in the last month. My Dad has the greatest hits album(because I am too lazy to peruse all of Jethro Tulls albums at this point), and I have been playing the crap out of it. Locomotive Breath is such an awesome song.

Nope and I've heard enough to know they'd still suck, but at least I wouldn't have to keep hearing and reading about them in rock n roll discussions. On a whim, went to see The Secret Machines at their midnight show at Metro last night. Those guys are perfect in that size venue. They're slowly coming out of their shells and becoming a better live act. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're slowly coming out of their shells and becoming a better live act. you talk about bad live shows and you bring up the secret machines... I just don't understand your argument...sigur ros should conform to a more conventional rock format to fit in with the rock n roll conversations other people are having about them, and you hold that against them? They are great musicians that create beautiful musical soundscapes. They are masters at creating buildup and euphoric climaxes...they are guilty of some some lengthy songs, but in the context of the entire record, they deserve everything they get.

Rex Kickass Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 Whatever you think about Sigur Ros aside (personally I find them completely captivating about 75% of the time, but I'm not sure I'd want to see them live), I think we can safely say Jim DeRogatis has been a douche long before this column. I figured it out when he wouldn't stop worshipping at Courtney Love's jockstrap on his awful Sunday night radio show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DePloderer Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 I'm enjoying David Gilmour's new album On an Island at the moment. he seems to have lost his cranky edginess and replaced it with a more mellow optimism. Smooth definitely smooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heads22 Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 So, I've listened to bits and pieces of Stadium Arcadium, and Dani California and Stadium Arcadium seem to be the best of the album, with Snow trailing behind. Then again, you can't listend to the full songs to try them out on iTunes, but the first two were the only ones I went out of my way to download. Still playing the hell out my RHCP Greatest Hits songs..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Gleason Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 (edited) I've been reading Nina Antonia's In Cold Blood: The Official Johnny Thunders Biography. I've been a fan of Johnny's for over 20 years now, and (obviously) always knew about his slight problem with junk, but how exactly how far gone he was is amazing. The man made Keith Richards look like a friggin' saint. So obviously I've been on a big NY Dolls/Heartbreakers/Gang War/JT solo kick. It still amazes me how hot and cold his playing always ran. But the book is truely heartbreaking if the man served as any form of inspiration to you. Without him, I can honestly say, I would never have turned into what I did way back in '84. Right now I am listening to probably the biggest of the original Thunders rip-off artists: The Sex Pistols. Still a good CD, but amazing how it has tamed over the years. Once it was all aggression, now it's just some cool riffs with some nice lyrics. Edited May 14, 2006 by Kid Gleason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never Mind The Bollocks will always be on any "Top 10 albums" list of mine. Whenever I hear it, it's still 1977 in my mind and I still hear the aggression in every note. I understand what you're saying about it "taming" in the face of everything that's come since, but it will really never tame to my ears. Just a great disc to listen to, and one of the records that changed the way I hear rock music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Gleason Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 Yeah, I wasn't a listener when it first came out, after all I was only 7. But when I first heard it (probably around'83 or '84) I was blown away by it. But even then, once I heard The Dead Boys the Pistols started to fade away. It's still a great disc, and a must have for anybody who enjoys "in your face Rock and Roll", just not as "oooooo" as when I first heard it. I have a buddy who refuses to give it a fair chance, even though he loves stuff like Backyards, Hellacopters, Gluecifer, etc. It just baffles my mind.

Yeah, man, f*** those Icelandic freaks who don't play formulaic rock and roll that's been beat into the ground for the past decade. If you honestly think Sigur Ros is ambient, see them live, if not, you can be an ignoramus somewhere else. Please try and label them ambient after listening to Hjartad Hamast, Ny Batteri or Untitled #8. Brian Eno is ambient, William Basinski is ambient, you're just flat out wrong. I mean, the only apt analogy I can find is like you listened to half of Mogwai's catalog and labeled them quiet. You're so wrong you're unbelivable.
