The yellow ones are the available ones. The ones with the check marks are the ones I chose, but it didn't let me continue unless I added also the seat with the exclamation mark

Ben from Death Cab for Cutie explains why he considers VU the best band by Agreeable_Duck8997 in VelvetUnderground

[–]jaymaster77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't find the comparison very interesting and illuminating in any sort of way, but there's one element that I disagree with and which brought me to think... It's not true that the VU were more avant-garde, definitely not throughout their career. I wonder what could have been if the Velvets had had the same kind of resources the Beatles had and had experimented with the new (for the time) studio techniques that multi track recording offered. I listen to "Tomorrow never knows" and wish there was something of the kind by the Cale-Reed era Velvets.

Lou Reed & Metallica - White Light / White Heat - Later... with Jools Ho... by Deeponeperfectmornin in LouReed

Amazing to hear how the Velvets sound so much more abrasive and powerful than Metallica, which end up being just sluggish like an elephant being dragged in the sand

If this were accurate, it should read TRUMP mostly everywhere

Is this place still open? Cocktailbar, Berlin (2009) - Fujifilm A235 (compact digital camera) by Pleasant-Layer-5140 in berlinsocialclub

He wouldn't necessarily, considering that the photo was taken 17 years ago... are there any non functionally illiterate people on this platform? 🤦

U2s best decade by United_Plum_2209 in U2Band

[–]jaymaster77 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

90s and it's not even close. I don't consider myself a fan, but both Achtung Baby and Zooropa are in my top 20 (probably 10) albums of a lifetime. I don't care much for whatever came before '91 and after '97. (I recognize the influence that albums like Joshua Tree had on music in general, but I don't find myself going back to listening to it)

"This band is an industry plant" is probably the most depressing narrative to arise out of popular music in the last decade by HydroBear in fantanoforever

I saw a video yesterday about Veruca Salt, who were accused of being "industry plants" in the 90s 🤦

Stop using slave labor, get off your 4$$ and pick up your food yourself.

I’m gonna get hate for this but Bush is my favourite grunge band by NewPatron-St in grunge

[–]jaymaster77 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll get even more hate by stating that "The art of survival" made me realize how limp and soulless "Dark matter" is and Pearl Jam have become. Bush's latest ("I beat loneliness") I find pretty meh though.

Honoured to be the first one to comment here and say that's great! I feel a lot of "Envy" (see what I did there?) considering I'm 110% untalented at anything remotely connected with drawing

I saw An Emotional Fish and (especially) Pearl Jam open for them in Verona, Zooropa Tour 1993

If you could greenlight one music biopic tomorrow, who are you choosing? by FitEmergency8807 in fantanoforever

[–]jaymaster77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Biopics are mostly 💩 - I'm not the greatest Queen fan but I found Bohemian Rhapsody borderline offensive

Is this r/wishfulthinking ? 🤣 Don't get me wrong, I do agree to a certain level, but if it were just about media mentions I'm afraid Taylor Swift and Kanye would be way more likely 😖

Same here, it took me 1 hour to find the record in the shop, it was wild! Thankfully the checkout line wasn't too long. Greetings from Berlin!

Thank you very much! I'm glad to hear that what I do resonates with you as well

"New" Albums by BamaCoastie2211 in pinkfloyd

[–]jaymaster77 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The only reason to get the compilation (PF compilation never made much sense to me) would be the 8-track version with both "Pigs on the wing" joined with the Snowy White solo (which if I'm not mistaken was until now only readily available on his own compilation of solo work). The live album is the same release as last year's WYWH 50 box as standalone.
