  1. Hook’em Horns!!
  2. Has any Texas team in history ever gone to the 9th with a lead and not walked the lead off hitter?
  3. what do you think, @dcbc and @G650? https://reverb.com/item/66924618-fender-59-bassman-ltd-reissue-45-watt-4x10-guitar-combo-2008-present-lacquered-tweed and let's just value me avoiding having to drive beaumont as having an FMV of approximately $1,000 today.
  4. scene opens five years into the future: jimmyjazz's daughter's band hits it global huge...billions of streams on spotify, apple, amazon, youtube. they do a sold out world stadium tour that would make taylor swift and the rolling stones blush. there is finally an heir apparent to the great american rock band of the 21st century. they write over 50 bangers and rival mccartney/lennon and bob dylan as the greatest songwriters of all time. beato invites proud parent of said superstars and fellow producer jimmyjazz on his show to discuss how he guided his daughter to become such a massive success and how he endured the process of expertly recording, mixing, and mastering without a doubt the world's worst fucking band in history...fastball...and even suggested a lyric line to try and rescue their awful, awful fucking album. "so jimmyjazz, as your fellow surlyite sidis characterized it in 2022, one of the tracks your daughter's early ouvre had some comparability to garbage's release 2.0...would you say that is a coincidence or would you say that you purposefully tried to influence your daughter's creative taste to mirror garbage tracks like 'stupid girl' because you were so inspired and moved by them at the time?" camera to jimmyjazz...
  5. you're going to piss your pants in laughter when you see what is getting delivered by fedex tomorrow to my dumbass. heh, i almost put a disclaimer in my post about him not saying anything about singer tryouts for garbage.
  6. would you say you have a...higher love of steve winwood then everyone else?
  7. good on you for figuring out the truth. those guys are very good musicians and adam was probably the second biggest contributor to the musicality of their best stuff.
  8. nick cave 10/23 austin show at acl live presale is live. link: https://wl.spotify.com/ss/c/Yxw8gcxqYcOVXBM9x1TRPTavEHcfSgribRZd-u80m1o/3uu/vWis6nW2TvWQ4-8uHNNGbQ/h18/9nFG2beAxTytw_7vABsBaQ06ze90NYIMaM0maxxt3a8 code is: NCNA23
  9. i actually watched it last night. enjoyed it. dave was great as usual...you could tell he was having a number of truly emotional moments. agreed on the acoustic rendition of bad...that was good. didn't really care all that much of the other live stuff they did in that show but bad was pretty cool. like jimmy said above, you can't fault bono for getting old...and no one can take away the amazing front man presence he had and the way he could drive melodies in gigantic stadium tours. his voice defines a lot of their sound from their peak. that said, i did find the discussion in the library to be quite amusing and it served to confirm what we have always known about that band...which is that the edge is the driving musical force in their songs and bono puts lyrics on top. when dave asked them how to write a song and the edge said "i start with the chords, all great melodies are born from a good chord progression" and bono tried to disagree and said "what about 'one,' you changed the chords to that just now and it was still great" to which edge responded "no i didn't, i just changed the key" with a confused look at him. i actually lol'd at that. anyway, made for some nice nostalgia and beautifully shot around dublin. it motivated me for my next musical effort...an orchestral recomposition/rearrangement of my fav u2 song, mothers of the disappeared.
  10. He’s made plenty clear, plenty of times, all he needs to motivate support.
  11. this is how i read this.
  12. no, i think it is perfectly put. it doesn't seem like it SHOULD be the case, but there is some parallel between sports performers aging out of their competitiveness in the league. it's longer but most musicians just run out of ideas and if they are as economically successful as u2 has been, you're out of good ideas because life changes. unfortunately, u2 isn't out of ideas...just out of good ideas. they need to shut it down.
  13. SOLD! just the type of response i needed to push me over the edge.
  14. i had a thought today that i really need a fender '59 bassman. i inception'd myself and i'd give myself a week before i do something dumb. what do you think of the one you got?
  15. rick has been a bit of a beating of late with some low quality stuff just pimping his shit non-stop...the sultans of swing video made me want to punch something. but this interview with vig was a harry and lloyd on their way to nebraska totally redeem yourself moment for me. great video and a down in the weeds interview. as someone still making his way up the learning curve on recording/engineering, i really enjoyed the geeking out in the first third about studio building. the deep dive on the process for nevermind was really, really enjoyable for me. i suspect that @Paul Wesley, @Goredho, @jimmyjazz, and @Chips O'Toole would enjoy it as well (though a lot may be older news to them).
  16. i've had it on my list but when i watched the trailer, i just got the sense that it was going to be super heavy on the bono pretentious stuff so it didn't grab me as a must watch immediately thing but it will get watched soon enough. love the edge and love dave. as for the u2 discussion, it's been beaten to death. i absolutely love that band and everything they did from 1980 (boy) through 1991 (achtung). there are a couple of songs from each of no line on the horizon and vertigo that i like as well. everything since then makes me want to cry cause it is horrid (to me). daniel lanois, brian eno, and i would get along really well. i was surprised (but not) to see a lot of people shitting on the edge in the unpopular opinions thread. i do not think the edge is an elite player from technical, soulful, etc... perspective but i think he was absolutely nails in sound design and layering the guitar with intention in virtually every track they made. i suppose since i love sound design and playing with harmonies to create composition more than i worry about being eric johnson...that appeals to me. i think he's great. and larry and adam were both top notch musicians on top of that. bono's voice was great for that decade and a half and certainly contributes to defining that sound...but he's moved into thom yorke territory for me in terms of i have to ignore what a precious and pretentious little twat he is and just focus on the musical past. but yeah, i will give this a watch eventually.
  17. Let’s go Horns…Hook’em!
