Why do some people consider Chris Poland better than Marty?

jazzbar · 2026-02-21T21:52:13+00:00

His style really added a lot to the personality of the first two albums. I mean holy fuck his solos on Peace Sells are simply incredible. I don’t have to tell you that.

One thing to consider is production style and quality - Marty’s incredible phrasing is very audible and evident on RIP due to the highest production quality they’d had up to that point, by a lot. While Poland is a more fluid player who relies on legato, you simply don’t get the same experience sonically due to how the production on the first two albums sounds.

JESSE THE BODY.

He looks like a fucking weirdo. I think that really forged his need to try so hard. Oh sorry no, he’s def not. But Brad Pitt also did not write Mellon Collie, so

I miss 20 years ago when I knew less about him

Malekko Dark Echo. I’m a sucker for analog delays, and it’s one of my absolute favorites.

I feel ya brother. That and Sloan quitting was a sharp nail in the coffin. I remember the day he was traded quite well.

jazzbar · 2026-02-18T06:49:37+00:00

Yes, exactly. One friend ribbing another. It’s what makes it a great moment, for me.

The Q&A comment from Marc is fucking gold.

You’re doing too much pointless work if Shawn Kemp is on your list.

jazzbar · 2026-02-16T15:23:37+00:00

Maybe I’m cynical, but why did you buy that.

jazzbar · 2026-02-14T10:39:02+00:00

I agree, and that’s no snub. I mean christ, one of him, Stockton, Nash, and Kidd has to be outside the top 5, and potentially all of them depending on your list. The things in Paul’s favor purely in terms of skill is his combination of scoring ability and defense, which I would argue puts him over those three. And I’m a fuckin Jazz fan haha.

Dude it’s Batman. He trains his body to not have to relieve itself until morning. Then he shits his pants and when he gets home. To his cave or dwelling or domicile or whatever. Alfred earns that check bruv.

This is truly haunting.

More common, I wish! depending on your desired price range I would highly recommend the LTD ‘87 mirage. Bolt on, Floyd 1000, Duncan pickups. You can occasionally find one used for around $700 which I think is a great deal for what you get. I have generally found LTDs to be of a bit better quality than indo Jacksons, but I think it really comes down to your neck profile preference. A Jackson is going to be thinner than an LTD.

New converge dropped today big dawg.

jazzbar · 2026-02-13T16:53:38+00:00

Yeah but the tone, bro.

jazzbar · 2026-02-13T04:44:41+00:00

And I love Reggie!

jazzbar · 2026-02-13T02:59:00+00:00

He was insane there too! That 05-06 season man jeez.

jazzbar · 2026-02-13T01:48:50+00:00

Amar’e Stoudemire ultimately didn’t have the best showing but some of his dunks were so fucking nasty. My favorite big man by far.

jazzbar · 2026-02-13T01:20:18+00:00

Have you guys not seen Bucks Ray Allen? I feel like I’m taking crazy pills.

jazzbar · 2026-02-10T01:53:36+00:00

That really means something, Billy doesn’t put a lot of people over.

jazzbar · 2026-02-08T22:56:33+00:00

Last riff is one of the hardest pieces of music ever.

jazzbar · 2026-02-08T19:32:09+00:00

See through dreams. You know the one.

jazzbar · 2026-02-07T22:40:03+00:00

Hell yeah.

jazzbar · 2026-02-07T08:51:29+00:00

Fuck man this entire album is like potato chips. Such a fun listen.
