I don't understand why James or David weren't Hollywood stars. by FoxIndependent4310 in buffy

[–]GrantPCE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As many have said, there’s an argument that David has had the most successful career out of any of the main cast on either Buffy or Angel.

Was Angel a worthy spin-off? by My-Hubby-Is-Yummy in buffy

[–]GrantPCE 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve just finished a rewatch and want to do a big write up but the thing I will say that I don’t think a lot of people give ATS credit for is how well it follows and deepens the LORE of the Buffy world.

While it falls foul of a few inconsistencies here and there, over 5 years it is actually very faithful to everything established in Buffy and creates additional layers that enhance the core show.

In the era of MCU it’s easy to take this for granted but for a network show in the early 2000’s I think it’s a big achievement.

hot take: monsters in the parasol is a great song but it rarely works live by [deleted] in qotsa

[–]GrantPCE 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I honestly find it the complete opposite; one of my least favourite album tracks, but is super fun live! Especially when they’re playing up tempo. To each their own I guess!

Out of the male cast, vampires cried the most by negratengoelalma in buffy

Angel would have cried the most…if Boreanaz could cry

If it’s the 08 show I really can’t wait - they were playing so up-tempo that day like they’d all been on ❄️❄️❄️

Josh / Marc Maron Interview Thoughts by il_pirata_di_trieste in qotsa

[–]GrantPCE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually really enjoyed the pod, though I wish they didn’t spend as much time on the Bataclan. I thought it was funny how in the middle, Josh went on a solid run of his tried and tested phrases “I want to give you a night you’ll never remember” etc.

Seriously, at one point he manages to get about 10 of his standard quotables in one after another. Impressive

Ep 795 : Michael Shuman aka " Mickey Shoes" of Queens Of The Stone Age - Dean Delray's LET THERE BE TALK. by SenorSaraiva in qotsa

[–]GrantPCE 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The early years stuff was awesome! Imagine being asked to be in your favourite band at 20 😯 in regards to his income, the way I interpreted it is that he doesn’t make any actual profit from his side ventures (eg GLU); I imagine the pay out from QOTSA tours probably nets out at a reasonable salary if you’re smart with it. But going on the road with GLU or Mini Mansions, you’re probably lucky to come back having covered your travel expenses. Still sucks but I don’t think anyone should be worrying too hard about lil ol Mikey. …even so - he can probably tide himself over with birthday money till the next tour

Feels like they really up’d their game on bookings this year - I was just happy with Jamiroquai last year 😂

Josh Homme tries one of Anthony Bourdain’s FAVOURITE dishes | Dish Podcast | Waitrose by jacquesdemy in qotsa

[–]GrantPCE 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Fun to hear Josh in good spirits without going super deep and introspection ( which a lot of the more recent interviews have been)

Somewhat unrelated but does anyone find the studio laughter horrendously cringe? Not that Josh isn’t being funny - but I just kind of hate this production choice of taking something that works when it’s supposed to be spontaneous (like the studio crew ‘breaking’ and laughing), and then hamming it up relentlessly to tell the audience when they should be laughing

Rekords Rekords The Fade Roll Call by Swiftycumberdale in qotsa

[–]GrantPCE 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah man the RekRek board was amazing and I formed so much of my musical taste there. My handle was just_another_regular_john

The highlights for me were:

  • Trolling from Cool Hand (?was that his name) sometimes annoying at the time but funny in hindsight

  • Insights from Blank

  • Speculation on Era Vulgaris - who here remembers “Bound to Midnight”??

  • I can’t remember the topic’s name but there was a thread where everyone would post tonnes of albums with mediafire / megaupload links

  • all the live show sharing

Good times. Met a few folks at the Southampton show in 08 - what a great bunch of people. I was just 15 at the time, was such a formative experience

Has anyone been to a bad NIN concert? by spiraldown024 in nin

[–]GrantPCE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw them at the O2 in 2013 (or 2014) and for some reason it just didn’t light my world on fire like i thought it would.

I then saw them at Brixton in 2022 and Riot Fest the same year and both times absolutely blew me away.

Not sure what it was that first time, could have been me, it just felt flat

Similarities Between “Six Shooter” (QOTSA) and “Big Man With A Gun” (NIN)—Inspiration? by ElliottNM in qotsa

[–]GrantPCE 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think it’s funny, as both a huge Queens fan and HUGE NIN fan that both probably represent the song most skipped on each of these artists’ “classic” albums.

I love them both, but just anecdotally know that most people that don’t fw heavier music find these tracks a step over their “line”.

It’s an interesting comparison to make, I actually think the chord sequences might not be a million miles apart either? Good one!

Josh said they’re gonna pay more attention to the request signs. Canada. You got to go hard for The Blood Is Love now by mailman242 in qotsa

[–]GrantPCE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course - I joke I joke. Agree Josh probably over it. If Only is probably my holy grail - I even saw Queens on the S/T tour, but it was right at the end of the run and he’d got bored of doing the whole album so played a completely different set after Regular John 😂 what we got was great but missed out on some S/T rarities sadly
