| Song covers that are better than the originals Good point ghosthouse. Vinnie is RIDICULOUS! Jeff can afford the best now (Vinnie is expensive). But I don’t consider myself on Mt. Olympus, any more than anyone else. I always qualify my opinion as personal, mine acknowledged as not infrequently ... | |
| Tinnitus remedy? That's what I've heard. But I needs my coffee. Alcohol too. | |
| Bill Chinook / Bruce Springsteen Think of the children! | |
| Song covers that are better than the originals What happened with "Superstition" is that Jeff somehow heard the song, and asked Stevie if he could record and put out his version first. Jeff says Stevie agreed, but then put out his own before Jeff could. Jeff was very not happy. Perhaps when St... | |
| Tinnitus remedy? I'll say jond! Mine seems to be worse lately, but I've been drinking a lot of coffee. | |
| A nice read on tubes! I've had both a Scott 299 and Fisher X-100, and neither comes anywhere close to the sound quality of my current EAR and Music Reference electronics. Nostalgia is swell, but come on! | |
| Song covers that are better than the originals Dave Edmunds’ electrifying reinvention of Smiley Lewis’ "I Hear You Knocking". | |
| Song covers that are better than the originals I am hesitant to comment on Harold’s post, but sheesh!Hendrix not only turns a beautiful, subtle, personal prayer into a crass display of vulgar guitar pyrotechnics (okay, I admit to not caring for Jimi’s playing. I know, a minority opinion), but ... | |
| Bill Chinook / Bruce Springsteen My post partially quoted by Cleeds was removed because I used a bad word. Here it is with a less naughty word substituted.That's it Loomis---The E Street Band doesn't swing! Look at the drummer; he sits straight up, like the stick (no pun intended... | |
| Bill Chinook / Bruce Springsteen Cleeds---Au contraire! Lots of Rock 'n' Roll swings, even The Beatles. Ringo is known to swing pretty well; listen to "Kansas City". Rock 'n' Roll drumming was created by New Orleans drummer Earl Palmer, one of Max Weinberg's (Bruce's drummer) her... | |
| Best band never to release a truly great album? Under their own name, it has to be Little Village. Though they are on record in VERY fine form (first heard on John Hiatt's Bring The Family album), they recorded and released only one album under their own name, and it's not good. The rule going ... | |
| Bill Chinook / Bruce Springsteen Jafant, I hadn't heard that about Bruce, but Neil Young being a Reagan Democrat is well known. | |
| Worst record ever? Amongst Rock 'n' Roll historians there is an album considered the "Plan 9 From Outer Space" of albums: "Philosophy Of The World" by The Shaggs. Recorded by the three Wiggins sisters of New Hampshire in 1968, it is a real trip. Two of the guys in N... | |
| Worst record ever? Ha! Ry Cooder is really serious about how his guitar sounds. When he heard about a new way of recording (digital), he wanted at it, and as Geoff said did the first digitally recorded Pop album, Bop ’Til You Drop. When he heard the playback his rea... | |
