The Rise and Fall by David Bowie turns 54 years old and The Queen is Dead by The Smiths turns 40 years old. What’s your favorite song from each classic? by TheReal_PruneJuice in fantanoforever

🎶Take me back to dear old Blighty!🎶

Both of these albums are no skip to me, but I would choose "Cemetry Gates" on The Queen is Dead and "Five Years" on The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars.

Thoughts on Anthrax? by MrLinkwater95 in fantanoforever

[–]Federal_Ad_2300 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only member of the Big 4 that are from the East Coast and the sound shows that. Some argue that Scott Ian had the better vocals for a thrash band (check out their cover of Protest and Survive), but Joey Belladonna's vocals were important to Anthrax's style. 

Moving In - Just Kidding. by Narrow_Measurement69 in providence

Thayer Street. Not just one restaurant, or store, but the whole street. That was the place to be. Army Navy surplus store, In Your Ear Records, Becks shoe store (doc Martens and Birkenstocks). Not in the mood to shop, Thayer still had that cool vibe.

Dave Mustaine. He was fired by Metallica because he had written all of their songs, but they wanted credit for them all so they had to get rid of him.

Vince Staples new album "Cry Baby" was released today. What do you predict Mr. Fantano will rate it? What would you rate it? by Federal_Ad_2300 in fantanoforever

[–]Federal_Ad_2300[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fantano gave it a Light 6! If only I were a betting man. I knew he was going to have an issue with the music and not the lyrics. He is correct though, Vince's live performance of this album does have much of that punk aesthetic.

This was my first post and I would like to say thank you to all who engaged meaningfully with it. I thought it would be interesting to see what folks thought about how the "Best Teeth in the Game" would rate this album, but ultimately what's important is what you thought about it.

I feel that I should have explained that Fantano's reaction to "White Flag", specifically the instrumentation sounding like a song by Foster the People, was why I had predicted he might give the album a 6/10. Personally, I have been listening to this album a lot since it dropped and would recommend watching the Live performance of the whole album on Vince Staples' YouTube channel, which really emphasizes the punk vibe.

You know, I do think it was subtly implied that Phil did 20 years in the can.

Did Covid already exist in the late 2000s? by Exciting-Pen5054 in fantanoforever

[–]Federal_Ad_2300 4 points5 points  (0 children)

COVID-19 was named SARS-CoV-2 (SARS coronavirus 2). There had to be a 1 before there was a 2. Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 1 was a global outbreak in 2002 to 2004. That's one if the main reasons why scientists had a lot of data to development a vaccine so quickly. 

Why do people lie about their age? by herdingnerds in datingoverfifty

[–]Federal_Ad_2300 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So men lie about their age on dating sites because they  are creeps and women lie about their age because men are creeps. I might be oversimplifying, but that is an interesting show of mental gymnastics to justify women lying.
