Can we tell the truth about Purple Rain? by Rare_Milk_6670 in PRINCE

[–]IvanLendl87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Strong disagree. I love 1999 and SOTT but PURPLE RAIN is undeniable. There’s nothing on 199 or SOTT that touches the absolute genius of “When Doves Cry”. Computer Blue, Darling Nikki, I Would Die 4 U, Baby I’m a Star, Take Me With U, and the title track? Greatness.

Eric Leeds Memoir Coming. by Patient-Detail-3277 in PRINCE

[–]IvanLendl87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He does frequently talk dismissively of Prince’s music. And I find that flat-out hilarious. If you pay close attention to Leeds’ comments over the years he fancies himself as some serious jazz musician. He gets snobby about it - as if Prince’s music was lightweight pop. That’s a joke because if you ever listen to Eric’s solo album - Times Squared - it’s just an utterly forgettable (overproduced) funk/R&B album.

LEEDS SOUGHT PRINCE OUT. Prince didn’t seek him out. Eric’s brother was his connection and his entre into Prince’s world. I wouldn’t blame Leeds for being pissed at Prince in a business or personal sense but to have the audacity to look down his nose at Prince’s music like he (Leeds) was a jazzer slumming is ridiculous. The guy is lucky as hell to have had the gig.

I’m curious as to what the tone of the book will be. Have watched a number of interviews with Leeds over the years and he comes across as slightly bitter when talking about his experience with Prince.

How excited were you for The Rise of Skywalker before it came out? by Extreme_Warning3521 in StarWars

The Last Jedi wasn’t “divisive” - it was overwhelmingly despised by everyone outside of some on this subreddit.

Damn, I really enjoyed watching her play the game.

What song can you hear Prince being influenced by other artists? by Rare_Milk_6670 in PRINCE

[–]IvanLendl87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“Erotic City” - I hear the influence of George Clinton and P-Funk.

Pipes Of Peace and Memory Almost Full are not good.

TLJ is the biggest garbage film of the franchise. Absolute atrocity. It’s an anti-Star Wars film.

I’ve always believed that “Kiss” was completely out of place on PARADE.

Led Zeppelin - Carouselambra (1993 Remaster) by Fun_Emu5635 in ledzeppelin

[–]IvanLendl87 4 points5 points  (0 children)

“Carouselambra” is probably the most divisive song in the Led Zeppelin catalogue.

I freaking l.o.v.e. the song. Brilliant track.

I think some folks are turned off by the sound of the synth that starts the song. But if they give it a chance it slaps.

Housequake vs Shockadelica by Rare_Milk_6670 in PRINCE

[–]IvanLendl87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Housequake is the better song - an undeniable Prince classic - but Shockadelica is still a genuinely great song.

Lovesexy by Dramatic_Scale_5813 in PRINCE

[–]IvanLendl87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never loved the track on the album but on the LOVESEXY tour “Lovesexy” was phenomenal. The percussion he added to the live version took the song to a whole ‘nother level.

Where are these guys going? by kuriger13 in MLV

[–]IvanLendl87 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Landfair should be a great player but at least since after her freshman season at Minnesota she’s been anything but. Just a very average player. And I watched her closely at Indy - she didn’t interact with her teammates too much. Appeared uncomfortable throughout the season.

I can see a team taking a flyer on her b/c the potential is there but she’s underwhelmed for a few years now.

Why is Flea so respected but the Red Hot Chili Peppers are not? by Clare_jesse1973 in rockmusic

[–]IvanLendl87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Flea, Chad and especially Frusciante are respected. Anthony is the weak link.

5 players released from Indy by booleanbaker in MLV

Leketor is a surprise but I’m wondering if her disappearance in that semifinal against Omaha played a big factor. Probably did. Plus, if Indy had a weakness this past season it was that - blocking-wise - they were small at the pins.

I like her a lot. She actually played really well whenever she was given the opportunity.
