Shnate McDuanus Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 I love Neil Young, but I think his song "Mother Earth (Natural Anthem)" was a little too clever for its own good. The rest of Ragged Glory is awesome, but I can't get into that one song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVOL! Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 ` Just don't get me started ..... hear ? ` Yeah, but I am trying to tune it out. j/k. I will say you have some strong opinions. My only thing with the Who is all of the English-isms they reference. We don't understand that here in the States. Didn't Mark Twain call it vernacular?

Silenced Fred Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 I am very disappointed. :( Hey, gotta be diverse. My sound is changing a lot lately, less of a bluesy, more of a punk grunge-y sound... not sure where I'm going Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zonkers Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 :blink: Three words in the whole song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAx2GHUUoSo&ob=av2n I love Madness, and 3 words are barely a sentence, let alone lyrics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky4 Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 I can't tell if you're being serious or not. :) Little Things would be one of my favorite songs if Gavin Rossdale would have kept his mouth shut for the last few minutes of it.

Jeff-7 Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 I don't know who is worse - STP or Bush. Might have to go with Creep by STP. That line where rhymes mouse and house? Epic. I happen to like both of those bands. Weiland was whacked out of his mind on heroin when he wrote lyrics for most of the earlier albums from what I remember hearing. On the later albums he wrote sober, said he had a lot of trouble lyrically. I saw a youtube video once showing him recording impromptu lyrics to the Deleo's riffs and he was wasted out of his mind. Dean and Robert Deleo are still a couple of my favorite guitar/bass combos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff-7 Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 I have a major pet peeve of folks who just come up with random lines that rhyme that have absolutely nothing to do with anything. There are SO many, but LFO's "Summer Girls" is a perfect example. Stayed all summer then went back home, Macauly Culkin wasn't Home Alone Fell deep in love,but now we ain't speaking Michael J Fox was Alex P Keaton Poetry...just poetry. Ugh... I remember this.

WahKeen Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 "Electric Avenue" Eddy Grant Down in the street there is violence And a lots of work to be done No place to hang out our washing And I can't blame all on the sun, oh no CHORUS: We gonna rock down to Electric Avenue And then we'll take it higher Oh we gonna rock down to Electric Avenue And then we'll take it higher Workin' so hard like a soldier Can't afford a thing on TV Deep in my heart I'm a warrior Can't get food for them kid, good God CHORUS Oh no... Oh no... Oh no... Oh no... CHORUS Who is to blame in one country Never can get to the one Dealin' in multiplication And they still can't feed everyone, oh no CHORUS Out in the street... Out in the street... Out in the playground... In the dark side of town... CHORUS Rock it in the daytime Rock it in the night ... ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riffster Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 I am being serious. Great record, I dig it. I'm working on a cover of Glycerine and Comedown I must know how to play half that record, the guys I play with are big fans and well, I have to be flexible if I want to play with others. I like it OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like it OK. I don't get the hate some bands get just because they don't have a "guitar god" in them. I lean more towards punk/grunge stuff because of the lack of off the wall guitar solos. I like bands for bands, not just one person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riffster Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 There is absoulutely worng with Bush and especially Sixteen Stone, I think it is a great record, I don't think is super trascendental but they rode that Grunge wave well. I like playing those tunes now, my heart was not into it in the beginning but after I found hard to play that sliding riff on Machine Head I took it as a challenge. I always though Motley Crue had crappy lyrics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riffster Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 I don't have a recording of it, we were thinking of how to record our playing to see how to improve but we just haven't. Actually we haven't played in 2 months now I like that song too, the neck on my Explorer makes it easier to play. My friend does the intro really well but he cannot sing while playing that particular riff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dean and Robert Deleo are still a couple of my favorite guitar/bass combos. You can defend STP. The Deleo brothers are one of the best gtr./bass combos in hard rock. Great riff writing and killer playing. I don't get Weiland. He's a ****** bag frat boy who discovered Black Flag and thought it was all about violence. That date rape song: Sex Type Thing? Give me a break. Bush is just regurgitated American hard rock with juvenile, cryptic lyrics. Did Gavin finish grade nine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
