@meredith850 Ruby Tuesday is a Stones song written and recorded in 1966, Ron Wood never came along til 1976. Brian Jones (RIP) making that tune great with his playing on the recorder.
I love this song. It was a test and our teacher accompanied us on guitar. I still remember how we used to tremble, because we all knew that "The Corrs & Ron Wood" are just unspeakably good.
@rederic2004 Caroline's thumpin drummin adds to the drama of this song. I thought it was brilliant!
Besides being a singer and pianist, she is a wicked player of the bodhrán, a type of Irish drum. Worth seeking out on The Corrs' instumental compositions.
Focus BrxSmith and you may end up understanding some day.
I can seperate a voice from an illusion, I can hear when a performance is poor and not be blinded by "fanFUCKtastic" hormones.
On pitch? Void of emotions! Cold. Ice cold. This is not music, this is a performance of a pretty face that can hold a pitch but has no warmth to drive a voice.
Guys, I'm french and I've gotta say, the american way of of seeing the world is not as simple as many eurepeans see it.
Even though they have a different opinion about money and culture over there, it does'nt mean american culture is rubish. There are plenty of huge american artists who have a different vision of their country and the other countries (watch little miss sunshine for example) I've been in an american family and both of us changed our minds about our countries
As you say, many Americans see the faults in their society more clearly than anyone. But many more do not. The majority are notoriously ignorant of other countries.
'Little Miss Sunshine' satirizes the prevailing 'win at all costs' mentality. It's wicked humor belies the disastrous consequences this obsession is having on the USA's relations with the world. DISASTROUS FOR AMERICA, I'm saying.
This lovely movie shows that there is such a thing as the MIDDLE WAY.
Besides, popularity contests are trivial and childish - and artist is an artist, period. You either like their art, or you don't. Using terms like "has-been", which only has to do with the fickle public (who loves and leaves their so called musical and tv "idols" all the time) is pointless in regards to the body of work someone creates.
@Mr2009Truth - ideally bands should self-destruct when they are at their peak (well done Brian). Otherwise they cause their erstwhile fans terminal embarrassment by becoming poor self-parodies of their youthful greatness.
I only watch Mick and Ronnie now to see if their wigs move around.
The Corrs to their great credit split up at their peak. And what a legacy of songs and performances they have left us!
Hopefully they made enough money for them not to be tempted to make a come-back.
@duckbiter I don't buy that "self-parody" myth people talk about all the time. It's up to each individual fan to decide if they think a band is still good or not, period. I see you don't like them anymore, which is fine, but many do (as ticket sales prove). As for your comment re: Brian, I must say that was in poor taste, unless you were just refering to his leaving the band, & not his untimely death soon after - but when you use the phrase "self-destruct" what else can I think?
@Mr2009Truth - you accuse me of poor taste in admiring Brian's short life and timely death.Yet you Americans (which I guess you are) plumb the depths of bad taste in your worship of utter fucking rubbish - many examples, I cite only Justin Bieber as the latest (as ticket sales prove).
In contrast (as ticket sales prove) you can ignore the greatest female singer of her generation, your own homegrown Eva Cassidy. Even now hardly acknowledged in her own country.
@duckbiter You went beyond poor taste-to tasteless with your first sentence just now. I'm not accusing you; you're proving it. And I'm not a fan of the 2nd "artist" you speak of in the 1st paragraph, so you can't pin that on me, and you prove nothing except you're just a negative person. I should've known "Don't feed the troll". Once again, you don't like someone's music, fine - but they don't deserve to die, no matter what you think.
@duckbiter You mention Eva (if I mentioned her you'd disrespect her, but I won't do that) - there are many amazing artists who are ignored either totally or just by their country, and if people don't know about them, they can't buy their stuff. It's simple, and you can't be so general about these things - but you will, because you're negative. I think we've covered everything now; you can have the last word and be oh-so proud of yourself.
"Yet you Americans..." Leave the ethnocentrism at home, buddy. There is plenty of "rubbish" world wide (that old lady singing out of the UK for example) so don't go stereotyping people. As for Ms. Cassidy, she sang covers and wasn't "discovered" in the UK until she had been dead for four years. Why you bring this poor woman up is beyond my comprehension.
@LTF6161-I was wrong referring to 'Americans', buddy. I should have said 'American Kulture ' - the greed dominated capitalist control of worldwide popular culture by Hollywood.
'That old lady' Susan Boyle (a superb singer) is the perfect example of your culture's inability to appreciate anyone who doesn't appear 'cute' or 'hott'.
Eva Cassidy. I bring this 'poor woman' up because she is the greatest female singer I have ever heard.
Oh, Christ. "American Kulture" has produced everyone from Elvis (w/o which there are no Beatles and no Stones) to Patti Smith. You cannot pigeon hole "American Kulture" try as you might. It is rock, jazz, blues, hip-hop, 57 flavors of pop, Bonnie and Clyde, Sean Penn, Perry Como, and Andy Warhol. Get over it. Your just jealous (as most folks who bash the US are) The Love-Hate psych thing is really remarkable...and a bit scary.
@LTF6161 - American musical culture is creative due to the relatively recent mixing of racial and cultural traditions.
American Kulture is the dumbed-down, greedy, dollar-chasing version promulgated by Hollywood. It is very 'successful' - Justin Bieber has over 400 million views for just one song on this site.
Other countries of the world object to their very different, but equally valuable musical heritage, being bulldozed by American marketing.
Rock and roll was kind of born in the us.. Elvis, Chuck Berry, Eddie Cochran... Even though incredibly good music groups then came in england ^^
And don't search any reason for a country's creativity, it's just as it is, if it came from cultural mix (for the better =) ) that's great, but it's not only america who makes it so that foreign artists are not much recognized over the world (if you take out the british ones and a few exeptions) i think...
Don't get me wrong here. America's great contribution to music - rock 'n roll, came from the cultural mix - from Africa, via negro slave music, to the blues, jazz and so on.
As a Corrs lover, you will know of the influence of traditional Irish music in their compositions. Their supreme ability allowed them to attain popular success without compromising their Irish roots.
My criticism is that success in the American music 'industry' is based on market research rather than art.
If they object...they should quite spending their Pesos, Euros, Dollars, Yen,& whatever on it. YOUR problem is, they don't object so you blame marketing. Yet marketing couldn't make people buy the Edsel or think the Knack were the Beatles. Ever heard the phrase (the Kinks used it I think) "Give the People What They Want"? Your problem is the "PEOPLE" you love disappoint you & you can't blame them, so you blame those who really do, Give them what they want...eg Justin Bieber
Give the People What they Want (can't argue with the Kinks)
Give them bread and circuses (Rome 2k yrs ago)
Give them coke (both meanings) and Bieber (USA today)
Our noble rulers, whether Emperors or Capitalist politicians/businessmen, protect their cosy lifestyles by delivering opium to the masses. When they get bored they send us fight some idiotic war.
If you're happy with this situation, then you are a fucking retard.
It is not for me to say whether I am retarded or not. Either way I'd be unlikely to know it so I leave that to others to determine. And while I am no big fan of modern capitalism I know of no other economic system that has provided more material benefits to more people. I do know of other eco systems however that have caused a great deal more human misery. I don't mind a little change, but Mao thought he had all the answers & we saw how well that worked out.
IMO material benefits are overrated. I lead a simple life.
Present-day American capitalism depends on about 40% of the population being impoverished, debt-ridden, unemployed, lacking good healthcare, etc, etc. Crime, drugs, hate and despair are the result.
It is unfashionable to argue this, but I could at great length. The Soviet Union, in its later years, provided a good life for a huge proportion of the population. Far more than the USA can.
Oh, I wasn't offended, but now I am shocked. I teach European history & if you think the USSR provided squat to anyone outside the fraction of the population admitted into the party you are horribly mistaken. By virtually every measure including life expectancy, birth rate, alcoholism, education, housing, per capita income, (not to mention the lack of civil liberties) etc the USSR failed BADLY compared to every Western nation including the US. Gorby knew this, you should too
I have always been aware of your profession, but I view your informing me of it as an indication that your argument needs bolstering by an appeal to authority.
Russia had to progress from a feudal society to modernity in too short a time. The comparison should be with China or even Africa. Not with the West.
Your perspective on European history is tainted by your personal, probably unconscious, ideology. You need to observe from a more distant, geographical and historical standpoint.
I had no idea you knew my profession & there is nothing wrong with an appeal to authority. Russia did not have to Progress anywhere in "too short a time". Stalin chose to murder millions through starvation, execution, & gulag to industrialize. Lenin's New Economic Policy (ie capitalism) would have accomplished the same, if not more, in as short of time & far more humanely if Stalin hadn't dumped it for collectivization. Ideologically I am a liberal, history has taught me to be.
I don't accept your authority. Ideologically you are an individualist. History has taught you to be a liberal. How nice. But liberalism is now merely a comfortable self-indulgence, far removed from and irrelevant to today's issues.
The lesson to be learnt from Stalin's and Hitler's killing of over 100 million people is that those in authority cannot be trusted.
Globalisation, internet, WikiLeaks etc. have changed the rules. Collectivism in some radically new guise may be our only hope.
@duckbiter "Collectivlism" would have to be "radically new" because so far all it has done is murdered millions: Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot. Sorry but liberalism which has killed far fewer and saved far more is the wave of the future. Since 1776 (or 1789 if you prefer) countries have been going liberal like..albeit staggered...dominoes. Egypt may be the latest..but you probably prefer it go some collectivist radical Islamist route. Sharia or the Little Red Book are about the same
History is great at explaining the past, so so about the present, useless for the future. There is a black swan around every bend in the river ahead.
The greatest slaughterer of humans is and always has been other species (bacteria, viruses). Our ape mentality hasn't even got beyond intra-species conflict yet. We are merely an obscure evolutionary cul-de-sac which will be gone in 500 years.
Well, as you are someone who apparently hates humanity (thinking it "a good thing" that the human race "will be gone in 500 years", I, who actually prefers humankind to all other species, have nothing more to say to you. Adieu.
@duckbiter: I am an 18thc deist. As for Darwin he wrote "At some future period the civilised races will ertainly exterminate & replace the savage races of the world." I prefer the Great Commoner W J Bryan's view “Darwinian theory represents man reaching his present perfection by the operation of the law of hate–the merciless law by which the strong crowd out & kill off the weak...I choose to believe that love rather than hatred is the law of development"
@LTF6161 I reject all theistic religions as crap which leaves only Buddhism. "Love" is merely the spin that you Christians put on what you feel when really your GENES are pulling your strings.
Science has TOTALLY accepted evolution, and it is now the cornerstone of ALL the biological sciences bar none. E=mc² holds the same factual status in physics as Darwinism does in biology. It is only in countries where religious bigots hold sway (especially the USA) that such shameful ignorance prevails.
"You Christians"? I said I was a deist not that I was a Christian. I believe in evolution but recognize that that belief can lead to a great deal of harm. The most destructive belief systems of the 20thc incorporated evolution & atheism & led to the deaths of tens of millions or more. "Survival of the fittest" is essential to understanding fascism & atheism to comprehending communism. Maybe theistic fictions that focus on love are ironically more helpful to humanity after all
The earth has been hotter (& we are a warm weather species, note lack of body hair), pollution has been far worse (& is a much bigger problem in the "Developing World" than elsewhere), disease has never been less damaging, and the population bomb is a bust. Furthermore, nuclear war is, unlike 30 years ago, almost unthinkable, and the world continues to move in a liberal democratic direction. Strikes me overall the world is heading in a more positive than negative direction.
Climate change will be far too fast for human evolutionary adaptation. The unprecedented disappearance of species due to human activity will result in a huge burden of novel diseases affecting human health and food production.
Pollution and first world energy waste have GLOBAL consequences.
Humans did well enough during times when the weather got colder and then warmer faster than it is doing now. (I am thinking beginning and ends of several ice ages, little and big). We produce more food than ever (and would even more so if we would dump useless ethanol). I am sorry your paranoid pessimism keeps you awake at night. Take a pill (if you don't already) you might feel better and less hateful toward humanity
@LTF6161 European history is your subject, evolution mine. 100 million people were killed, not by the 1st World war, but by the following 'flu outbreak.
Evolutionary adaptations ALWAYS involve suffering and take many generations. 500 years is only 20 generations for us. In the next 100 years (4 generations), WE AS WE ARE NOW have to deal with GLOBAL issues vital to our SPECIES SURVIVAL.
Your optimism is a joy to behold, but unfortunately it is naive and groundless. Your bubble is about to burst.
I'm fully aware of the wartime & postwar flu of 1918. And bubonic plague in 1348 & all sorts of pandemics that humans have survived. I may be overly optimistic but you are potentially pathologically morose. The end of the world has been proclaimed many times through the centuries, often by people claiming to have a special insight that others lacked. Statistically eventually someone will be right either tomorrow or in a couple of million years. Btw I have sacrificed only paranoia
Russia, Ukraine, Bulgaria etc are gangster economies. Large parts of Africa are controlled by bloodthirsty outlaws. China is a dictatorship. The Middle East ..... say no more.
The USA is now completely under the control of the Military Industrial Media Complex.You, LT6161, allowed this to happen!!!
Better "gangster" economies than Soviet economies (and Gulags). Africa won't destroy the world. China is a dictatorship but a much freer one than it was even fifteen years ago. The Middle East may well be 1848...or 1989 or something in between and likely something better than it is now. And neither the US military or the media control my life (though the former does spend my tax dollars). And I am not so vain as to think I have the power to allow or make global stuff happen.
@LTF6161 OVERPOPULATION, THE important factor behind climate change etc, is going to be corrected by the emergence of novel antibiotic resistant bacteria. This war is ALREADY LOST! Unbelievable suffering will ensue.
£3 trillion has been spent by the USA alone on nuclear weapons since the 1940's. This is the the sort of money that needs to be spent NOW on the global survival of humanity.
Still some $one trillion per annum spent by the USA on internecine conflict.
@DimiSSaL07 - sorry, fail. You need to be 50 plus, wearing an Armani suite and have $1 billion in a Swiss bank account. Your friends are also billionaires - bankers and politicians.
You probably work (unknowingly) for someone like this.
Eva Cassidy, more interested in her art than commercial success, and not the best looker in town, she was totally ignored by your Philistine American culture.
ONE play of ONE song on ONE radio station in the UK made her an instant success. It's all about the music
@duckbiter Ronnie's playing guitar on this Brian-era (& some say Brian written, though M&K took the credit - who knows) Stones song. Ronnie's a Stone & was obviously asked to be there by the Corrs, so I don't know why you see a problem here. And a has-been? Are you going by radio hits and album sales? If The Corrs made a new album next year and it failed, would that make them has-beens to you? If Ronnie toured with the Stones next week, they'd sell out all over the world, so he's no has-been.
I suppose when you look like that, it doesn't really matter if you deliver an average performance propped up by wrinkly cred, or if you can't really sing that well.
Melanie owns this one with no-one coming within four decades of her performance.
BTW, did Andrea Corr ever do a centre spread. I only ask because it's a huge waste of her best talent if she didn't.
And please don't bother with the flames. I'm being deliberately sexist - but without saying anything that isn't true.
@LTF6161 hi. :) If you listen to the chords in the piano they are more "modern" for lack of a better word. Sustained if you will. The RS version is just 1, 4, 5, lots of drums, and that crazy flute. Makes it true late 60's rock. This version is up to date with it's version of the 1, 4, 5 structure, and that's fine, but I like the original rock version with the sparseness and drums kicking in. Still, The Corrs are lovley artists.
Okay, you got me on the musical technicalities. Although I played tenor sax in high school I am mostly musically clueless. But although I too like the original, I think having a woman sing this song really gives it new life. Now, if the Corrs would only do "Under My Thumb":)
I'm pretty sure this is the version they used in Sons of Anarchy season 2 episode 2 , I wasnt sure but this one is pretty close.. If anyone knows for sure please comment.
I think this is the version they used in Sons Of Anarchy second episode of season 2.. I couldnt find witch one it is for sure but i think this is it . .If anyone one knows for sure please comment.
Not imo...I would say both the Go Gos and Bangles are head and shoulders above the Corrs. Plus the Corrs got a dude, like Elastica...which is also better than the Corrs. This is a GREAT COVER though (and maybe the best performance the Corrs ever did)
I loved this one and now I am going to make people hate me but Melanie's version is still the best. The raw emotion she puts into it makes the difference. This version is more pop.

It is rock, jazz, blues, hip-hop, 57 flavors of pop, Bonnie and Clyde, Sean Penn, Perry Como, and Andy Warhol. Get over it. Your just jealous (as most folks who bash the US are) The Love-Hate psych thing is really remarkable...and a bit scary.

@LTF6161 - American musical culture is creative due to the relatively recent mixing of racial and cultural traditions.
American Kulture is the dumbed-down, greedy, dollar-chasing version promulgated by Hollywood. It is very 'successful' - Justin Bieber has over 400 million views for just one song on this site.
Other countries of the world object to their very different, but equally valuable musical heritage, being bulldozed by American marketing.
(BTW I don't suffer from jealousy.)

Rock and roll was kind of born in the us.. Elvis, Chuck Berry, Eddie Cochran... Even though incredibly good music groups then came in england ^^
And don't search any reason for a country's creativity, it's just as it is, if it came from cultural mix (for the better =) ) that's great, but it's not only america who makes it so that foreign artists are not much recognized over the world (if you take out the british ones and a few exeptions) i think...

@mawa6969
Don't get me wrong here. America's great contribution to music - rock 'n roll, came from the cultural mix - from Africa, via negro slave music, to the blues, jazz and so on.
As a Corrs lover, you will know of the influence of traditional Irish music in their compositions. Their supreme ability allowed them to attain popular success without compromising their Irish roots.
My criticism is that success in the American music 'industry' is based on market research rather than art.

If they object...they should quite spending their Pesos, Euros, Dollars, Yen,& whatever on it. YOUR problem is, they don't object so you blame marketing. Yet marketing couldn't make people buy the Edsel or think the Knack were the Beatles. Ever heard the phrase (the Kinks used it I think) "Give the People What They Want"? Your problem is the "PEOPLE" you love disappoint you & you can't blame them, so you blame those who really do, Give them what they want...eg Justin Bieber

It is not for me to say whether I am retarded or not. Either way I'd be unlikely to know it so I leave that to others to determine. And while I am no big fan of modern capitalism I know of no other economic system that has provided more material benefits to more people. I do know of other eco systems however that have caused a great deal more human misery. I don't mind a little change, but Mao thought he had all the answers & we saw how well that worked out.
LTF6161 11 months ago
@LTF6161 sorry, of course you're not retarded.
IMO material benefits are overrated. I lead a simple life.
Present-day American capitalism depends on about 40% of the population being impoverished, debt-ridden, unemployed, lacking good healthcare, etc, etc. Crime, drugs, hate and despair are the result.
It is unfashionable to argue this, but I could at great length. The Soviet Union, in its later years, provided a good life for a huge proportion of the population. Far more than the USA can.

Oh, I wasn't offended, but now I am shocked. I teach European history & if you think the USSR provided squat to anyone outside the fraction of the population admitted into the party you are horribly mistaken. By virtually every measure including life expectancy, birth rate, alcoholism, education, housing, per capita income, (not to mention the lack of civil liberties) etc the USSR failed BADLY compared to every Western nation including the US. Gorby knew this, you should too

I have always been aware of your profession, but I view your informing me of it as an indication that your argument needs bolstering by an appeal to authority.
Russia had to progress from a feudal society to modernity in too short a time. The comparison should be with China or even Africa. Not with the West.
Your perspective on European history is tainted by your personal, probably unconscious, ideology. You need to observe from a more distant, geographical and historical standpoint.

@duckbiter
I had no idea you knew my profession & there is nothing wrong with an appeal to authority. Russia did not have to Progress anywhere in "too short a time". Stalin chose to murder millions through starvation, execution, & gulag to industrialize. Lenin's New Economic Policy (ie capitalism) would have accomplished the same, if not more, in as short of time & far more humanely if Stalin hadn't dumped it for collectivization. Ideologically I am a liberal, history has taught me to be.

I don't accept your authority. Ideologically you are an individualist. History has taught you to be a liberal. How nice. But liberalism is now merely a comfortable self-indulgence, far removed from and irrelevant to today's issues.
The lesson to be learnt from Stalin's and Hitler's killing of over 100 million people is that those in authority cannot be trusted.
Globalisation, internet, WikiLeaks etc. have changed the rules. Collectivism in some radically new guise may be our only hope.

@duckbiter "Collectivlism" would have to be "radically new" because so far all it has done is murdered millions: Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot. Sorry but liberalism which has killed far fewer and saved far more is the wave of the future. Since 1776 (or 1789 if you prefer) countries have been going liberal like..albeit staggered...dominoes. Egypt may be the latest..but you probably prefer it go some collectivist radical Islamist route. Sharia or the Little Red Book are about the same

@duckbiter: I am an 18thc deist. As for Darwin he wrote "At some future period the civilised races will ertainly exterminate & replace the savage races of the world." I prefer the Great Commoner W J Bryan's view “Darwinian theory represents man reaching his present perfection by the operation of the law of hate–the merciless law by which the strong crowd out & kill off the weak...I choose to believe that love rather than hatred is the law of development"
LTF6161 11 months ago
@LTF6161 I reject all theistic religions as crap which leaves only Buddhism. "Love" is merely the spin that you Christians put on what you feel when really your GENES are pulling your strings.
Science has TOTALLY accepted evolution, and it is now the cornerstone of ALL the biological sciences bar none. E=mc² holds the same factual status in physics as Darwinism does in biology. It is only in countries where religious bigots hold sway (especially the USA) that such shameful ignorance prevails.

"You Christians"? I said I was a deist not that I was a Christian. I believe in evolution but recognize that that belief can lead to a great deal of harm. The most destructive belief systems of the 20thc incorporated evolution & atheism & led to the deaths of tens of millions or more. "Survival of the fittest" is essential to understanding fascism & atheism to comprehending communism. Maybe theistic fictions that focus on love are ironically more helpful to humanity after all

The earth has been hotter (& we are a warm weather species, note lack of body hair), pollution has been far worse (& is a much bigger problem in the "Developing World" than elsewhere), disease has never been less damaging, and the population bomb is a bust. Furthermore, nuclear war is, unlike 30 years ago, almost unthinkable, and the world continues to move in a liberal democratic direction. Strikes me overall the world is heading in a more positive than negative direction.

Climate change will be far too fast for human evolutionary adaptation. The unprecedented disappearance of species due to human activity will result in a huge burden of novel diseases affecting human health and food production.

@LTF6161 European history is your subject, evolution mine. 100 million people were killed, not by the 1st World war, but by the following 'flu outbreak.
Evolutionary adaptations ALWAYS involve suffering and take many generations. 500 years is only 20 generations for us. In the next 100 years (4 generations), WE AS WE ARE NOW have to deal with GLOBAL issues vital to our SPECIES SURVIVAL.

And neither the US military or the media control my life (though the former does spend my tax dollars). And I am not so vain as to think I have the power to allow or make global stuff happen.

@duckbiter Ronnie's playing guitar on this Brian-era (& some say Brian written, though M&K took the credit - who knows) Stones song. Ronnie's a Stone & was obviously asked to be there by the Corrs, so I don't know why you see a problem here. And a has-been? Are you going by radio hits and album sales? If The Corrs made a new album next year and it failed, would that make them has-beens to you? If Ronnie toured with the Stones next week, they'd sell out all over the world, so he's no has-been.

I suppose when you look like that, it doesn't really matter if you deliver an average performance propped up by wrinkly cred, or if you can't really sing that well.

@LTF6161 hi. :) If you listen to the chords in the piano they are more "modern" for lack of a better word. Sustained if you will. The RS version is just 1, 4, 5, lots of drums, and that crazy flute. Makes it true late 60's rock. This version is up to date with it's version of the 1, 4, 5 structure, and that's fine, but I like the original rock version with the sparseness and drums kicking in. Still, The Corrs are lovley artists.
