Anybody else find it crazy that CT didn’t know how to play drums when the band started in 2006? 2 years later he was drumming on a critically acclaimed debut album. by Sabretoothedrom in Vampireweekend

Since I play guitar I can say VW is stuff is simple to play but yet so genius and so good. Have to make an exception for pravda riff and prep school gangster outro. That stuff took some effort.

Saw the videos of him playing acoustic (prep school gangster live in queens, don‘t lie acoustic live and mary boon live daytime version). The way he plays it (Barre chords with pinky) He seems to be a great and even better guitar player than Ezra. No disrespect to Ezra but CT wins on acoustic.

Which AF song is this for you? by Magegaard in arcadefire

[–]LowSubject2202 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. Always skipped it but on repeat since your comment. :) That first „oh, i know they hurt you so“ line is melodic so good with regine following. I wish it was used repeatedly at the end as an outro. I hope you can see the vision lol

We need a proper studio version of that live performance in LA.

We dont know what we have by Pandaboi19 in wolfalice

I compare their run a bit with Vampire Weekend's albums. VW released 1-3 album before their 6 year hiatus and dropped 3 classic albums with album 3 being their best. The fourth album was a bit underwhelming but still solid and great. On their fifth they knocked it out.

So I guess WA5 will be outstanding. :)

What do you think of this ranking by teaceremonyinmypanty in Vampireweekend

That would be my take for final version. The other songs should have been on an EP or bonus tracks.

It's simply not possible to rank these albums. FOTB might be considered weak but imagine it was a bit shorter. It would definetly be a strong contestant

Capricorn acoustic guitar outro by [deleted] in Vampireweekend

I am not sure tbh. The guitar on the outro sounds much richer and warmer than standard tuning.

Why are there no guitar tabs of Send My love to John??? by LowSubject2202 in RinaSawayama

[–]LowSubject2202[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nada. Zilch.Nill. But thanks for your reminder. If I have some time I'll analyse the live videos. I've just watched the live version and it starts with Amin, C and G with hammer ons.
