I think 9 out of every 10 of those stories are completely made up.

[QUOTE=Canadian Guy]I can't stand when people say "omfg eye saw a kid whereing a lead zepplen shert today but eye think they r just teh posers!!!11!!". Until you have proof that they don't know who they are or have only hear Stairway, be quiet. Actually, even if they don't really like them, who cares?

IT'S JUST A T-SHIRT.[/QUOTE]It doesn't annoy you the slightiest little bit when someone is wearing a Hendrix shirt that can't even name one of his songs? I know it's just a shirt but does annoy me.

Yeah, it annoys me a bit, but nothing worth getting my boxers into a knit over.

Alot of it is usually based on assumptions too.

Oh shi[COLOR=White]t[/COLOR]. Why?

Man, security was so much more strict this time, so many people got kicked out the first three days.

First Day-ZZ Top was absolutley amazing, they even brought out the fur guitars and switched suits for the encore. Bachman was also a highlight, with that keyboardist that sounded like Burton Cummings so they played lots of Guess Who material.

The 2 middle days were sweet too but I cant remember them as well if you know what I mean. :smoke:, acctually I think thats the only reason they were sweet.

The last day Thorogood slayed everyone and security was less strict so everyone went really nuts.

I don't understand all the hype about Neil Young...what's he known for..his voice? writing? guitar skills? I recognize his talent but IMO he's just OK in all 3 categories. Lots of artists have better voices/guitar skills/writing so I just don't get him.

A lot of people are turned of by his voice, but he's respected as one of the best songwriters ever.

I repspect his talent too, but I have only heard a few songs by him. But his voice is what turned me off, myane it need to grow on me

BludgeonySteve 07-25-2005 12:26 PM

I like his voice. It's not great, but it's good.

Against Miik! 07-25-2005 12:28 PM

I like him best w/ CSNY. On the whole, as a solo artist he is just ok. I don't think he isn't talented though. Not by a longshot.

BludgeonySteve 07-25-2005 12:29 PM

dude, miik your avatar is seriously blurred.

yep yep, for sure.

I think he was much more creative as a solo artist. His CSNY days always sounded kind of bland to me.

BludgeonySteve 07-25-2005 01:53 PM

He has some bland solo albums, quite a few actually. But the genius of his great albums more than makes up for it.

true enough.

BlackDeathMetalJazz or really ANYTHING else please- 07-25-2005 02:41 PM

Has anyone heard his self titled? I bought it some time ago hoping it was going to a classic. I mean how can it be a bad album when albums such as [I]Everybody Knows This is Nowhere[/I], [I]After the Gold Rush[/I] and [I]Harvest[/I] came right after it? Well it turned out to be pretty boring and bland. The 1st track was the only one I liked ("The Emperor of Wyoming") and it was a pretty strange track considering it didn't have any vocals. Save yourself some trouble and don't get this album because to be truly honest this album wasn't worth the 10$ I payed for it. Sorry Neil. :-/

BludgeonySteve 07-25-2005 02:44 PM

He has good albums and bad albums, like every band does. It's best to just focus on the 10-15 or so good ones he has.

robo2448 07-25-2005 02:46 PM

Pretty much every artist has a few bad albums.

Well I think it would be a crime to say he's just "OK" at songwriting. He has a very unique voice, I think it suits his music perfectly (like Bob Dylan) and although he isn't so much a guitar god, he still had beautiful guitar parts for a lot of his songs (Cowgirl in the Sand is one of my favourite songs to play on guitar). Plus he's Canadian and we kick so much a[COLOR=White]s[/COLOR]s it's not even funny. Although I don't really blame him for living in California for so long, that's where the hip music scene was at the time.

It's true!! It's so damm true!! :D

Badmoon 07-25-2005 03:35 PM

He's okay to me; I'm not hugely into any of his albums, but I recognize his talents in all the fields he's known for.

ATM 07-25-2005 03:36 PM

I'm going to see CSN really soon, hopefully.

[QUOTE=Slug]I'm going to see CSN really soon, hopefully.[/QUOTE]

That'd be awesome. I'm sure I told you guys this before, but one time in elementary school we went to the IMAX (the giant movie screen) and watched some documentary on like nature or something...CSN did the entire sountrack and was amazing. I was pretty young, I was in the stage where I liked classic rock and all it's encompassing genres, but I didn't know much about it. I really liked all the songs they wrote for that movie though, they were all newly composed for the movie.

I suppose if I want to listen to good writing I'll pop in Bob Dylan every time over Neil Young. And if I'm craving Canadian, I'll eat some bacon.

BludgeonySteve 07-25-2005 05:38 PM

Obviously Neil Young's songs sound better than Bob Dylan, but Bob Dylan has better lyrics.

Hello

Remember me?

I can't choose between Dylan and Young

The sound of Neil Youngs songs, is a better sounding sound than the sound of Bob Dylan's songs, in my opinion.

I can't make that any more clear :(

jpj 07-25-2005 06:03 PM

[QUOTE=Jam2Me]What do you mean they sound better?[/QUOTE]
He means they sound better. You know, like they sound better

I hope I cleared that up.

I got Tom Petty-Full Moon Fever at Wal-Mart for $7.50. I noticed Jeff Lynne co-wrote a lot of the songs.

BludgeonySteve 07-25-2005 06:05 PM

That's a pretty sweet deal. Usually all cds costs $15 at wal-mart no matter how good they are our how popular they are.

stupid canadian Wal-mart.

I think Bob Dylan can sound better at times.

I was just out shopping and I decided I should buy some tapes for my car, since I'm too cool to get a CD player in it. I got Dylan and the Dead, The Wall, Surrealistic Pillow, and the soundtrack to The Song Remains the Same. They were all under ten bucks each, so I figured it was a good decision. I also bought a collection of poems by Tennyson. I found a great Grateful Dead shirt that I wanted to badly, but it was over $40 bucks and I'm not paying that much right now because I'm not working. I also found a cool Pink Floyd shirt for $20 bucks that I'm gonna buy soon.
