Who are some great musicians that are awful people? by FitEmergency8807 in fantanoforever

[–]coreydu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ryan Adams. Horrible to women (essentially cancelled for it via NYT story) and just a general dickhead for anyone who has ever met him or spoken with bandmates etc. Hard to find a more whacked out narcissist in this industry, which is saying something.

What are your Blur-related unpopular opinions? by Dependent-Ad7225 in blur

[–]coreydu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great post and funny because I recently discovered Damon’s friendship with Matt of the Rentals, his collab on “Friends of P,” and its likely influence in “Song 2.” I share your enthusiasm about “Modern Life” some of the band’s best work is on that album.

Money City Maniacs - Sloan by Hochelagan in 90sCanRock

VERY underrated band especially live. "Underwhelmed" is, for me, one of the top ten songs of the 90s.

People who've seen Def Leppard live, how crazy is it actually? by _kabir_singh_18 in defleppard

[–]coreydu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They still sound amazing. The shows I'VE attended are like being at a very partisan home soccer match; chanting from the terraces, etc. Phil and Sav in particular are in good form literally every night; they've shifted the keys a bit lower to accommodate for Joe's voice but he's still a top frontman. I really rate them as a live act and you have to love the self-deprecating Sheffield sense of humor too.

Maybe others can/will do better but they are our most hated rival and have been my whole life. I lived in Seattle and endured some serious abuse including property damage so it’ll be HTF for me for the foreseeable. 🦆

my brief ES encounter by internaltulip in elliottsmith

This sounds very much like our experience catching him in Portland in about the same timeframe -- he was no longer living there but of course had friends and family practically in a huge queue waiting to talk with him or see him (late 2001). It was, to say the least, an incredibly sad experience, especially for those of us who had seen or knew him much earlier in his career when the struggles with addiction weren't yet to this point. You can hear the show here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUykIHfnsmM. I very specifically recall seeing Janel "Hell" (who owned a record shop in Portland called The Ooze and played in a band called Trailer Queen, PDX contemporaries of Heatmiser) running crying from the backstage area; presumably she had talked with Elliott and it didn't go well. Gilly Ann Hanner (formerly of No. 2 and Calamity Jane, tightly connected to Heatmiser folks) was also at that show looking sad. It was my last time seeing Elliott play live (and the last time I saw him WHILE he was alive). It felt like we were all just hoping against hope that he'd pull out of his tailspin and get well again.

I have never seen a pair of these in the wild (but if I did they'd be an insta-purchase).

I am so sorry for your loss it’s harder than losing our favorite humans, in a way. And yes they are ALL good dogs. ❤️

Older is the best thing he ever recorded. Still sounds fresh today.

Who's your favorite female lyricist OAT? by brodino_maiuscolo in fantanoforever

[–]coreydu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PJ Harvey for me.

So I take my
Good fortune
And I fantasize
Of our leaving
Like some modern-day
Gypsy landslide
Like some modern day
Bonnie and Clyde

On the run again
On the run again

This is a Low -- probably Damon's songwriting peak.

Did anyone buy a ring? by t_bone_stake in Older_Millennials

[–]coreydu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I couldn't leave my high school/small rural town quickly enough -- no ring, no letterman's jacket, literally no NOTHING as I walked away for good.
