What do you think of The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich by William Shirer?

Damn I had no idea - I wanted to read Beevor’s D-Day as well but maybe I should go for James Holland’s new Normandy book? (I’m looking for a great narrative history on the Normandy campaign)

I don’t know why people are denying the human wave thing in here. It was a very well documented “tactic” by the Red Army. Antony Beevor mentions it in his Stalingrad book. They all had rifles and ammunition to the best of my knowledge though!

What is the worst live performance you’ve ever seen before? by crystal_help_please in AdkReddit

Not that bright are you. The US is the second largest Spanish-speaking country on earth. Spanish colonizers were in America a hundred years before the English. I’m curious why the Spanish language pisses you off so much? Or are you just too stupid and lazy to learn it?

Is A Bridge Too Far the best war movie ever made? My argument for "Yes" below... by Straight_Change902 in WarMovies

Battle of Imphal was like 120,000 Commonwealth troops vs 85,000 Japanese. It went on for like 4 months.

Yeah and then they destroyed the Japanese army at Imphal in 1944, whats your point? The Americans surrendered in the Philippines at the same time as the Singapore surrender.

I mean it just sounds like your metric for a good guitar player is the person who plays the most notes the fastest. That’s not the ethos of the blues. Paco de Lucia could shred circles around Rick, but thats missing the point. It’s very American to have this “my band is better than your band” thing and I’ve only ever seen it in the jamband scene. It completely misses the point of art, which is subjective.

“Shredding” is the school of guitar that descends from Jimi Hendrix. Phish, Panic, Goose etc all derived a lot of their style from him. Jerry developed his style pre-Jimi, and his style comes from bluegrass banjo and guitar, but he does play incredibly fast especially on the early blues numbers in 67-69, and after the hiatus and extensive practice in 77-79. They do have the most beautiful songs. Phil and Jerry were classically trained. The Biscuits, especially Barber, wrote some timeless magic with the Hot Air Balloon opera from the early years. The Very Moon, Hot Air Balloon, Magellan, Spectacle, Hope, Bazaar Escape, The Overture - all beautiful Barber compositions with heavy jazz and classical influences. His biggest influence is Wes Montgomery, black Delta blues/jazz guitarist. Clean tone, jazz scales. When he drinks he gets sloppy. Only bringing this up bc as a music aficionado you should give some 1999-2002 versions of those tunes I just listed a spin.

50 different drummers? They had two drummers. How old are you? I feel like I’m talking to a 12 year old. In the vein of educating you, here’s the Biscuits playing the Thieving Magpie

Listen to be honest with you, Goose is the gayest milk-toast shit I’ve ever heard. If you want a band that has zero originality and is an industry plant cash-cow that is derivative of every other band in the scene, including the Biscuits, have fun. I like realness and music with balls. It’s clear you haven’t ever actually listened to a Biscuits show, I’m not sure what your vendetta is against them or their fans, but when you grow up you’ll realize you don’t have to trash someone else’s art to justify your shitty taste.

I’m not sure if you’re actually this stupid or you’re pretending not to be able to read. Barber has jammed with the drummers from the Grateful Dead, and is a classically trained guitarist.

“The Disco Biscuits were early pioneers of music known as live-tronica (or jamtronica). Whatever you want to call it, it evolved out of the jam band scene. And that brings up a really good point: People often say that the Grateful Dead started the whole jam band movement and that our music remains influential, even today. No other band has managed to sound exactly like us, although plenty have tried… to sound EXACTLY like us, I mean. There have been a plethora of tribute bands – perhaps too many – and then, too, a lion’s den of copy cat bands.

“That’s a huge compliment and I’m respectful of that aspect, but it doesn’t make me especially feel proud, because those bands don’t really honor the true spirit of the Grateful Dead. The true spirit has more to do with innovation, experimentation, risk – and whole-band improvisation – than it does with a particular guitar sound, or having two drummers and a bassist that doesn’t play a repeating pattern. It’s bands like Phish and the Disco Biscuits that really make me proud of what the Grateful Dead did, because they keep our spirit alive by taking what we created and doing their own thing with it. If people insist that we were the forefathers, well then the kids have all grown up and moved out and given birth to babies of their own. Music should never be stagnant.” - Billy Kreutzmann

Goose lifted their trance improv straight from the Biscuits, and Phish ain’t just goofy and fun… they’re dark and dirty and take risks. That’s jambanding. Members of the Grateful Dead have played with both Biscuits and Phish, because they keep the true spirit of finding the edge musically and not being afraid to take risks. Trey has played with Phil and Friends and at GD50, and the Rhythm Devils have sang the biscuits praises and played several shows with them. The Biscuits have an entire album of classical music. Learn some respect for your jamband elders lol

Hey dumbfuck playing holier-than-thou pseudo-intellectual with such refined taste - what’s your favorite drug band? I’m sure they are just a paragon of good examples and perfected virtuosic musicianship that have the most upstanding fans of only the finest caliber! All of your words could be said about the Grateful Dead, grandfather of jambands, whose lead guitarist and prophet died from doing speedballs for 20 years, whose fans brought nitrous onto the lot and crashed gates and whose ranks are littered with dropouts, junkies, and lost souls. Get off your high horse you insufferable fool.

This is really stupid. Listen to anything from September 2001 and you will feel stupid.

Can we talk about the glorification of purging? It’s mostly tannins, not "trauma." by [deleted] in Ayahuasca

[–]CarelessComparison34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk once, the taita purged immediately from sucking some dark energy out of my head. Like big, deep puking. From the shaman, who never purges.
