Eh, don't worry about it. Not everybody is going to like everything. I'm sure everybody has a few acts they hate that sell a hell of a lot more than The Hold Steady.
*shrugs* totally agree with selish. this band is so out there that they're naturally going to attract both a very loyal fanbase an a group of people who can't stand them.
"This song is about art, it's about love, it's about depression, it's about alcohol, it's about faith, and it's about everything else that's important to me and this band..."
'I like the crowds at these big shows. People touching people they don't even know, yo.' Good video of the performance, but no one's posted one that does justice to how kinetic the crowd was at this show! Like water boiling.
Boys and Girls is their best album, but the subsequent albums have been good as well. "Best band ever" is obvious hyperbole, but they're quite good.

Best band ever? Did they stop after Boys and Girls in some other universe I'm not aware of.

Les Paul/LP Junior through Marshall Plexis of some sort (1959/1987x), it sounds like.

intro riff is copped from Two Tub Man by the Dictators. this whole thing is unoriginal. sorry guys. plastic soul.
dickideal 3 years ago
actually its not coppied because the intro notes in this song are different and two tub man only uses the d note...so get your facts straight!
