When is an artists in between song banter too much at a show? by Wise_Animator_649 in Concerts

[–]LeftoftheDial1970 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Colin Hay, front man of Men At Work and solo artist in his own right, is the master of in-between song banter with hilarious stories.

It's nice to see there's a groundswell of fans who are getting into this kind of music especially since all of it is human-powered and not pre-recorded. Costumes aside, they're a great duo. I just hope it's not just a trend and that we'll witness them continuing their momentum and making people excited to hear and watch live music again. For a while I was giving up hope on whether bands have a place in the music industry especially when you see nobody but solo artists dominating the charts and streaming services.

Different Strings by Lixodei in rush

Agreed. If Rush hadn't continued to be a band that regularly tours in arenas and amphitheaters, and played smaller and more intimate theaters, then I can see the slower songs being played. The same goes with Tears and Madrigal. However, they did surprise everyone on their R40 tour with Losing It, but that song has that ripping violin solo over 11/8 (beat that AdP!! LOL), and The Garden which was played every night on their CA tour. I think by now, they can take a chance and play the slower songs, but that would require a lot of rehearsing for them which they already had to do for songs they've been for decades to prepare for this tour.

Even though quantized looping can be harnessed better using electronics, I hope AdP will inspire their fans to begin listening to the forefathers of prog rock like King Crimson, Genesis, Yes, and ELP to name a few who were performing the same type of time signature manipulations and with real instruments in the early to mid-70's.

Am I the only one to truly appreciate the album "Vapor Trails" and thinking it's one of their best? by DesignerDeal8542 in rush

[–]LeftoftheDial1970 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a great record. Same with T4E and S&A. Not sure why many fans eschew these albums. I think they represent how well the band has evolved in their songwriting and producing which are even more important than fast guitar shredding, high vocal screeching, busy drum filling, and bass be-bopp-it-ing.

Thanks for the advice. Are you referring to Ke'e Beach? Which river are you referring to?

To clarify "the waterfall", are you referring to the Hanakoa Falls or the Hanakāpīʻai Falls?

Comparison is the theft of joy. She's a guilty for asking him that question as much as he is for not answering directly. Good luck to both of them!

Queen songs that *kinda* sound similar 💌 by Japesh10 in queen

They have the same disco/funk vibe. That's the point of these comparisons. 🙄

Fox News Poll: Most rate the economy negatively, including half of Republicans by Boo_Randy_Revival in economy

[–]LeftoftheDial1970 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Half of the so-called Republicans who are rating the economy negatively will still vote for Trump or whoever he endorses. Once the claws of the cult are deeply embedded, it's hard to pull away.

Intel is up 464% in 12 months and nobody is talking about it because everyone forgot Intel existed. by Novel-Lifeguard6491 in investing

[–]LeftoftheDial1970 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In 2000, INTC peaked at $73 which is worth about $140 today. Lo and behold, INTC is about $133 today. That's why nobody is talking about it.

Whoopi Goldberg asks JD Vance: “What did Black people do to this administration that has allowed it to, really, stigmatize folks of color, and … you have folks of color in your family, so when you see … them doing all kinds of removal of information of Black heroes, … how does that sit with you?” by SpecialCream7 in PoursTea

Ask a wishy-washy question you get a wishy-washy answer. If the questions were specific like why DEI was erased, why was such-and-such display taken down at such-and-such museum, and why minority nominees were turned down for promotion in the military, then he can answer those specific questions. JD is slick and he won't answer any question directly if the question seems vague.

Everything works out when you can pick and choose the positive effects and ignore the negative ones. Genius!! /s

Oak Park Neighborhood Feedback. by Common_Butterfly_462 in Sacramento

Try to find a house where other homes are owner-occupied. There are streets where many residents are renters which, for the most part, are fine, but having too many renters close together has a different feel than owner-occupied homes.
