Bob Forrest - "Max, Jill Called"

[turoniner]

I mean it's okay...I loved reading about how he fit into the Chili Peppers' lives in Scar Tissue (Kiedis' autobio)...but what the heck are you guys hearing? His voice is average, the guitar part is totally amateur and doesn't change at all....what is so great about this? I could find you 50 people who could play just as well in any college dorm.

[raulparedes2449]

@turoniner Well then find 50 people at the college dorms and post up their music and we'll all get hear it! Theres nothing wrong with keeping music simple, kurt cobain did and he had a little success with it. The bicycle thief cd is fantastic! Speaks from the heart, not dorms!!

[turoniner]

@raulparedes2449 Hahaha you can't compare this to stuff that Kurt Cobain wrote. His guitar parts were simple but innovative, and his voice was really original. There is nothing interesting about this, guitar-wise or vocal wise. This guy is playing pattycake with that guitar. Then again, the difference between this and Cobain is reflected in their respective success levels. Oh well....

[Mr1upul]

@turoniner You realize this is an acoustic version** of the song right? Listen to the album before you hate on Bob some more. Josh Klinghoffer played lead guitar on the album, and the Bicycle Thief really did come out with some great songs.

Seeing as how your a RHCP fan, you should know that Bob's band Thelonious Monster was breaking out through the same scene as bands like Janes, RHCP, Fishbone. Heroins a hell of a drug.. unfortunately for Bob.

........5...........fuk.....in­g.....stars...

[tylerfrusciante]

I hope Bob and John write some music together someday. Bob singing on the cover of Dying Song is the most amazing singing I've ever heard in my life.

[Armatodisolfato]

cute song.

[airnsmke]

campfire chords, boring, sounds like a little pop punk diddle,

[sugarbabydylan]

and yes, i LOVE this song and album so so much! exellent work. i wouldn't expect any less than perfect work from bob!

[sugarbabydylan]

if you go the bicycle thief fan club on fb you will see a photo i put up entitled "max jill called" of max and i...max i miss you !

[loveric3]

I was there!!!!

[McFuck]

love this song!

[marvelmania]

Bob is so under appreciated.

I love seeing more stuff pop up here as well as more people embrancing the joy of his music.

You come and go like a pop song is one of those albums that I wanna keep in my life forever.

[karmbros]

I was one of the ten people in the crowd - you see my Hawaiian shirt at the very end - Bob Forrest rules and I love this song!

[noisyrag]

Bob is awesome. Can you post some more of his live stuff like this?

[MacDonagh]

You come and go like a pop song is a great slice of Americana. Wonderful album.

[johnisnotdead]

it might be the same guitar, Bob has this one and a fender acoustic that they use to play at shows.

Bob thought the $200 fender sounded just as good as the Martin. John Frusciante might have given Josh his Martin (as well as some Jaguar guitars).

thanks for posting

[13eastie]

@johnisnotdead John F had two Martin O-15's dating (I believe) from the 1950's. It looks like Bob is playing a dreadnought, and judging from the huge fret dots it's much newer than John's Martins.

[whytelace]

Love U bob , nice song Hey is Bob still with MAx? thats Josh K sister

[johnisnotdead]

not that I know of, and she is not Josh's sister. Max is Josh's best friend Brian's sister.

They were all very nice and friendly folks.

Thanks for posting
