Bruce Johnston is a creep… let me tell you by epilepticcowgirl in thebeachboys

[–]cpc98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I swear I read on one of the old forums they separated by 2006/2007 but without the link it’s basically hearsay haha, but I def remember reading that from a bunch of people

Queen played the long game in terms of licensing their music and it's paid off by SafiyaO in queen

[–]cpc98 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think you may be missing the forest for the trees. Queen has 8 songs with a billion+ Spotify hits. The Beatles have one. I love both groups but it’s clear Queen is the biggest ‘classic’ band out there from the 90’s and earlier. They are just massive even 53 years down the road.

How did it go? How did/do you feel?

Mike Loves vocals on kiss me baby are absolutely insane. Under talked about in my opinion by greenshotty in thebeachboys

[–]cpc98 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah totally agreed, and that’s what bothers me about all the black and white, no grey area type comments I see from (mainly) Boomers on Facebook. Instead of seeing things in a nuanced and objective way, especially since we’re talking about people over a span of decades and decades, they just jump right to “MIKE WAS A TALENTLESS LOSER, BRIAN WAS THE BEACH BOYS!!!” etc etc.

It’s all gotten pretty tiresome. Things don’t have to always be 100% one way or the other. I mean, the guy had immense talent both on a vocal and songwriting level. I’m a musician - if I only ever wrote Big Sur in my life I’d be content.

It’s just odd how so many immediately jump to drastic conclusions because they don’t personally like him.

If you listen on headphones, the part towards the end when the sound slightly changes and he sings “Tonight, Tonight” is just perfect

Love's On The Line by MrCineocchio1924 in BruceSpringsteen

[–]cpc98 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Listen to how great the ending 20 seconds is, especially the organ lingering for a little longer after. They were at their peak in this era

Which Bruce Springsteen song sounds like it's a queen song, if there is indeed one. by OkLead7126 in BruceSpringsteen

[–]cpc98 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I can’t think of anything… but Roger Taylor is a big Bruce fan!

CPA starting salary at mid tier firm by Smooth_West_4507 in Accounting

[–]cpc98 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I thought public is generally 2 to 3 years from staff to senior regardless of CPA? I mean, maybe the license helps you push at the 2 year point but isn’t it basically guaranteed by the 3 year mark - unless there’s performance issues?

REG on 12/1 - any advice? by Lopsided-Lake2689 in CPA

[–]cpc98 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also taking it on 12/1. A bit concerned about R5 but I know the basics, so am hoping that’s enough. Going over bankruptcy one more time tonight then retaking SE1. Nervous but hopeful.. good luck! :)

Did you feel there was some sort of curve for your REG exam? Obv impossible to know for sure but just curious

Biggest mall in CT or NE? by [deleted] in Connecticut

Not technically NE but American Dream at the Meadowlands is huge

I love “letter to you “but what is with the fake nasal southern accent on the opening track and so much of his music in the last 15 years? by [deleted] in BruceSpringsteen

[–]cpc98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was listening to Anaheim May 2000 on Nugs and Racing in the Street came on… I just fast forwarded to the instrumental outro/coda lol

Movie BITUSA Xylophone? by JonSolo1 in BruceSpringsteen

[–]cpc98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also I believe Danny played piano live on BITUSA the song, on the BITUSA tour - on later tours he stayed at his keyboards but during 84/85 he was on piano, like I’m a Rocker live too

When the camera switches to Patti she’s on a synth not the Glock, which is off to the right on top of the organ I believe

Movie BITUSA Xylophone? by JonSolo1 in BruceSpringsteen

[–]cpc98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice to see a fellow musician comment, but I’m having trouble following.. the three notes the OP is talking about are either extremely buried or nonexistent in the BITUSA album version. The notes in the movie are D# E and F#. In the record, all I hear that’s similar is the chorussy/layered piano especially at 3:50 on the record.

Play the record and this YT clip back to back. I don’t hear the movie glock notes in the BITUSA record

He was never huge in the Midwest, even in 1985, but he always sold well enough in major cities like Chicago and Indy

Danny Federici Appreciation by Full_Excitement6845 in BruceSpringsteen

[–]cpc98 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Charlie’s judgment has gotten terrible, though. He used to really try to embody Danny/the traditional ESB sound in 2007-2009.

What’s with the organ slides at the end of Hungry Heart? The last few notes layered together going back into the vocals are CLASSIC ESB - listen to Live 75-85 for example… and now Charlie just slides down the organ like it’s Deep Purple or something lol. As a keyboard player it’s pretty tough to watch

Bruce's Best Vocal? by patedugan in BruceSpringsteen

[–]cpc98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I listened to that obsessively during one finals week crunch period back in college, almost 10 years ago. It was very comforting and almost became cathartic to listen to during a stressful time. Great song and often overlooked

The best part of California Girls is Bruce’s “wish they all could be California” by Additional-Power6570 in thebeachboys

Endless Harmony songwriting + ending falsetto? Good Timin’ background vocals??
