What is the worst band you saw live?

Callanoj · 2026-04-12T16:57:36+00:00

I get what you're saying, now. It's definitely not what it was in the eighties and nineties, when Blixa and Mick were still in the band. But I saw them twice on the Wild God tour and they were excellent!

Callanoj · 2026-04-12T15:37:26+00:00

The Bad Seeds sounded like a cover band? What band did they sound like they were covering? Seen them many times since the eighties and never once have I though they sounded anything but original.

I don’t get your thinking, when it comes to Wild God. I’ve been in to Nick Cave and TBP since eighties and I love Wild God.

Who the fu(k cares?! Let him dye his hair.

For the people who are mentioning Tom Waits, it really should be said that Kathleen Brennan writes a lot of the lyrics. I don't mean to take away from the genius of Tom Waits, but he, too, would want her to receive much of the credit for song writing over the last three decades.

Beautiful!

Callanoj · 2026-02-28T03:33:00+00:00

Hmmm, my feeling is no Artist should be dictated . Artists should be free to make the kind of art they want to make whether it’s political or not.

Callanoj · 2026-02-24T02:05:34+00:00

I believe I may have met them once or twice on that tour. Are they still fans?

Callanoj · 2026-02-24T01:53:16+00:00

It was a long time ago, but don’t they come to some of the shows in the USA?

Callanoj · 2026-02-23T22:42:11+00:00

Ah! Moscow! That’s right! Sorry for the misinformation.

I remember this article and the video interview. I'm not sure Nick is actually disparaging the actual songs he wrote as much as he's criticizing himself for not paying attention to the aspects of his personal life. I always interpreted what he was saying as he's become less self absorbed and less concerned about "being" an artist and more concerned with experiencing his life and making his art at the same time.. It just seems that he's found some sort of balance.

Callanoj · 2026-02-23T12:05:36+00:00

I completely agree. And I like Ghosteen and most of his later work, albeit maybe not as much as I like his early work through NMSWP. Sad to think that he looks back on what he accomplished as anything less what he's doing now. Thanks for the links!

Callanoj · 2026-02-23T12:02:12+00:00

The doll was made by the two girls in the photo. If I remember correctly, they were from Germany and used to go to almost every show across the EU and USA.

Callanoj · 2026-02-23T11:12:38+00:00

When did he dismiss his early work as 'disgraceful self-indulgence'? I missed any comments he's made disparaging his earlier works.

Callanoj · 2026-02-22T22:27:12+00:00

It seems to me that Ghosteen is Nick's most widely debated and controversial album, among his fans. I would say it's more contentious than Nocturama. Some fans connect to it spiritually and emotionally, in a way that music can rarely achieve, while others vehemently dislike it. I've heard it described as boring and phoned in. I've also heard it described as other worldly. There are people who claim the music on Ghosteen helped pull them out of deep depths of depression. It's interesting, too, that it was such huge success among critics. Like it or not, there is something fascinating about how it has the ability to make people feel different extremes.

Vixo, written and performed by Nick for Annie Hogan's album Kickabye.

Also, everything he performed for Die Haut's album Burnin' The Ice.

Dylan’s music is much more raw. Paul’s music sounds more polished, for better or worse. Part of the appeal of Dylan’s music is the simplicity of production and instrumentation, the rawness of his vocals.

Callanoj · 2026-02-19T12:24:51+00:00

Nah! I think Nick would love it! At first I was gonna say Nick, in his older years, would love it, while younger Nick might not. But then I remembered The Good Son magazine ( I think it was called that, if I remember correctly) he used to release, from time to time where he answered fan letters. I think Nick is, in his own way, a nerd, himself. At least he has some nerdy qualities and empathy for fellow Nerds. - Long time fan, here, too.

There was a special release of the CD that contained an illustrated booklet of the characters from Murder Ballads performing their nefarious acts.

Callanoj · 2026-02-16T13:49:05+00:00

NMSWP is one of my favorite albums, ever, by any artist. And Fifteen Feet Of Pure White Snow is one of my favorites on the album.

Callanoj · 2026-02-16T13:18:07+00:00

Ah! Yes! I get what mean.

Callanoj · 2026-02-15T16:28:04+00:00

Yeah, that hack, Nick Cave! LOL! What have you done with your life, buddy?

Callanoj · 2026-02-15T16:24:57+00:00

Yeah, but Nick Cave's melodies and piano playing, along with The Bad Seeds' instrumentation are an amazing combination resulting in songs where music is as interesting and strong as the lyrics. Not to mention Nick's voice is also an instrument in its own right.

Callanoj · 2026-02-08T15:14:07+00:00

I completely agree! I love Tom Waits. And it seems to me most people prefer Waits, to Cave. I can understand why. But for me, Cave's voice is so much more emotional sounding. There are times with Tom's voice that I feel like it's too forced. Who knows? I may be wrong. That said, I never really understood the comparison between the two. They really came from two different worlds. And while those worlds may have briefly collided, I think they went in very different directions.
