Instead of enjoying beautiful music, some people have to drag boring religion and politics into it, why? perhaps a vain illogical attempt to spoil it for the rest of us, due to their emotional instability and irrational thought process.
@bruce38ful ...yes manuelworker could do better!...it's cool that Boston associated their work of/as a rock n roll band as a UFO cover!...the Lord Doctor though may have been, for example, Aerosmith!...The Truth? If ANY group could craft a song as Long Standing...it'd be hard to see inside every woman who wants to Love Us!...I think I'll film a CSX train down there in Monrovia hauling coal, to the length of this song, to Baltimore!...Better!..Fox. Rock's Czar aka!
All the haters are scuzzy 50 + ponytail sporting losers ! The depressing 60s are so over ! LOL You are the reason our country is so F&^% up now ! They should love tom he is one of them ;) A prozac taking braindead perverted lib/marxist dog ! By the way ... Tom did you give all ya money to the stalinistic scum cause ? Yeah ... I didnt think so. ;) LOL Its ok, I still love your music :)
@jsilence418 This was before MTV...when looks were not MORE important than how you sounded. Music really suffered when looks became the main factor in getting heard as artists. One would think that's what we have actors for.
@jsilence418 Well...we would first have to agree that Boston "blew"...I'm not sure that's going to happen. ;)
They happen to be one of the few bands that sound like no one else and can be named after just a couple of notes....once the singing starts there is no doubt who it is of course. Their music is not for everyone just like every band...but they made an impact.
"Rock Band" is actually giving them new fans these days.
dude on the lead for the solo on the beginning of long time, i've been playing it so much, my fingers are like peeling off or something... and i have calluses or however its spelled. anyways i'm gonna do a tutorial on the solo.
Prison inmates are being forced to dance in mass to all forms of classic rock and 80s ballads in the Phillipines and other countries! Where are the reabilitative powers of Boston being represented! Don't forget Rage and Lake.
jrbo....believe me I am a true Boston fan from day one. I have all their cd's and have the reissued first two cd's. The "Third Stage" cd was good and I love the song Amanda. However the "Walk On cd was mostly a rehash of everything they had done unfortunately. Look at the inside cover and see how Tom controlled every stage of that cd..playing most of the instruments..most of the writing...the arranging and recorded at his studio. I understand how bands can disintegrate but Tom must be a pain!
As talented as Boston was and with the success they had on the first 2 albums a given.....I think Boston was never more than a 3 or 4 album band. Tom was always too obsessive /compulsive and treated his first 2 albums as his babies.
At first their sound was original and new but it began to wear thin after the 3rd album and by the 4th it was coming apart at the seams. For a band to be considered top ten of all time it takes more than 2 hit albums spaced about 8 years apart.
Don't get me wrong...I love and have loved their music since I heard "More Than a Feeling" on the radio in 1977. I wish things had been different for them through their careers. I never felt they grew as musicians and with the constant changing of personnel. Tom always wanted the "Big guitar sound" and to build his own electronics but music styles changed faster than he could invent new ways to electronically play music.
Yes this may be true to u, but others will disagree. How about Amanda and Walk on? But I hear u, and this is coming from a dir hard fan of Boston, new or old!
Makes me wonder if they had ANY idea how POWERFUL this song was.... and timeless. This was their FIRST effort. First album. And it produced THIS song. Think of it - everyone knows this song. It's like something from the Beatles or Zeppelin.
Just think Boston was on there way on being the biggest band in the world!! Yes bigger than the Beatles, Led Zep, Kiss, Van Halen but Tom Sholtz had to fuck it all up!! As you can see Boston hasn't done shit since he fired all the members shame on you Tommie
listen to Lazy by Deep Purple... Or Hold Your Head Up, or God Gave Rock And Roll by Argent... Thick As A Brick by Jethro Tull... Supper's Ready by Genesis! LISTEN! THEY'RE GREAT TOO!
Oh shutup Mr. I know absolutely everything about Boston 'casuse im a fucking nerd. Just because i made one mistake you freaked out! Your probably like a gay groupie.. long after they broke up.. fucking nerd.
haha, looks to me like he was just informing you of some facts. And in no way did it look like he freaked out. You're just mad you were wrong and someone corrected you. lol at 'gay groupie'
