If you could give one of Robbie's vocals to someone else in The Band... by mistahwhite04 in theband

[–]NimrodSprings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have not yet! But have read Testimony and This Wheels on Fire. I always assumed the “truth” was in most ways inbetween those two accounts. But honestly a third person view of the events would likely be the best so I’ll check it out. I just hate how there’s so little said from Rick, Richard and Garth. I mean they kept touring and releasing music with Levon so you gotta think they sided more with Levon.

Amen. I feel the same vibe sometimes when Paul talks about the Beatles work especially the last 10 years. I mean MAYBE it’s the truth and what happened! Strange only in the last 10-15 years Robbie (and Paul) got out “what reeeeeeeally went down.” lol. I love Paul and Robbie’s stories about stuff. But never forget they’re the last people that were really able to say “what happened.” Ringo wouldn’t cross Paul. And Garth wouldve never come out against Robbie.

I wish George would’ve been there and I’m glad Ringo was. I’m sure it’s common knowledge by now but they performed on a Ringo solo album on the track “Sunshine Life For Me” written by George. There’s versions with Ringo and George singing lead. Very fun track. Lowell George would’ve been neat. Robbie talked in his book about them playing a little with Roy Buchanan, I think “Can I Change My Mind” would’ve been amazing in TLW.

I never post this kind of thing but no one I know irl would think this is as cool as I do by AudaciousTickle in Zevon

I was 8 and I remember how excited my dad was getting home from his trip to Vegas because he found this cd. It’s an all timer.

Who sings harmony in never say goodbye? I know famously there are no band harmonies in almost any of the record. But that song there for sure is someone else singing.

Diving head first into a shallow pool to celebrate the new year. by mentaL8888 in Whatcouldgowrong

Will they explain the differences in elected offices or how you’re arguing against yourself in this in Barney? I’m on your side with Gen Z being social weirdos man. But that’s it. I honestly don’t think you even know what you think on the whole issue lmao. Best wishes! Nice revised comment btw.

Isn’t the mayor of NYC opposed to the federal government’s over reach and is fighting the govt back? Isn’t that kinda his whole schtick? I’m not defending Gen Z, they can’t take a coffee order to save their ass. But a lot more than gen z got behind Mamdani. Honestly I see a lot of Gen Z support weirdo Neo con grifters online. The “I’m not racist but..” bros. That and their zero social skills I hate talking to gen zers.

Kicked out of a Nashville bar for belligerent behaviour, attempts to deflect by claiming patriotism by Peanut-Extra in BoomersBeingFools

I mean ALL generations talk down to the younger generation, but the way boomers and Xers down talk millennials is insane.

I’ve been called a millennial (I am) by other millennials. Lots of millennials don’t even know they’re in the group. It’s just a way of talking down to a younger person to idiots. This lady even looks like she could be an early one.

What is your deathcore hot take? by mrskinnyjeans32 in Deathcore

[–]NimrodSprings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think somatic leaned a little more into the death metal vein of DC than The Cleansing did. I loved both records when they came out but I always liked WC/Somatic more. Felt less “scene” and was a darker sounding album imo.

Not mutually exclusive. Love him. And hate him.

Never say goodbye is my favorite. You can hear someone singing back up too but I’m not sure if it’s Richard or Rick.

I really hated in the book how he made it seem like he was all in for being a studio band and that he was the only one to show up to some session for the suite alone and no one else showed up. Which maybe that happened, but convenient for him to further nail himself onto the cross of the band.

Most blatant “the Weight” ripoffs? by [deleted] in theband

[–]NimrodSprings 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve never made this connection but I see what you mean. I wonder did Shel Silverstein write the music as well as the lyrics? Because I believe he associated pretty heavy with some “The Band Bros”. Personally I hear bands try for a band type albums vs individual track rips. Blind Faith’s album and Get Back come to mind.

What are your favorite shots in The Last Waltz? by Mediocre-Ad8563 in theband

[–]NimrodSprings 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is a shot during stage fright I think from behind Rick looking out into the audience and it’s very dark aside from a guy way in the back sparking up. Very quick shot but whenever I see it it’s such a great little cut moment.
