@timmay301 it's harder. by turning them into christ they just end up crucified to something from which they can't really escape. it's hard to make music when you have billions of people telling you how great everything you do is. and then you release something that you like very much, but nobo...

Jerry Garcia said Skip was his biggest influence whenever he was asked in the 60's. Skip was the one who asked Garcia to co-produce the Airplane's second album. He was the Airplane's drummer and songwriter at the time.

garcia has the most zen fucking look in his eyes i've ever seen during a guitar solo in my life. he's totally fucking in the thing.

it doesn't say anything at all *what so ever* in the codex about any end of anything. it was a conclusion based on their own understanding of the universe. they did the long count in the first place to find a very special place in our progress through the milky way, the galactic center would be...

@skater9123456 Oops! Sorry for not stating at the beginning that they were recordings of Alan Watts. I also have a few of Aldous Huxley, but they're all available on youtube. his lectures were particularly good, cameras and microphones were useless and scary to him from the things i've read. ...

@HighFlyinByrd it's a beach boys/LA nod. usually either just two notes (a mid-high note and its octave on a different string) or a very spartan chord way up the neck. It still sounds fresh here; "don't worry baby" had just been released. notice it doesn't change except during the part where ...

@rebelpowerz

this really annoyed me too. i think he asked more than twice; what a douche. damo was staring at him like a complete fool throughout. and the guy just gets up and leaves like "thanks asshole for not answering my question, geez", like he owed him a class in philosophy. it's all ...

"created sick and ordered to be well." i'm probably the biggest pinko commie socialist anarchic asshole on earth but I must admit that, although sometimes arrogant, the man is incredibly profound. possibly the most profound public speaker concerning religion and politics. it sometimes makes me...

@Thedahdumdum so was i ...maybe.. my bad but that felt good to get off my chest.

@slimturnpike This is 1971. The Organization (later Kraftwerk) were a rock band with a flute mic'd into a Synthi A. Groups like that were using Synths in a more experimental, but musical, manner than sort of the avant-garde like Amon Duul, Ash Ra, Faust and all that. Can were first in experimen...

@Hashwizard i dunno not a lot of people were into downers really as much as they were in the US and UK after 1968 or so. really the acid movement was just starting to peak, and it stayed popular until the "scene" was dead. LSD is still really popular in Europe. So is heroin, but Berlin is mile...

i love at around 1:30 or so you can here someone say "this is genius" and it's the most sincere shocked tone of voice i've ever heard. like his mind just melted. and the exciting part hasn't even started yet.

@MangOverboard

i bet before the show you were thinking "man it would be cool to be able to see them in their prime when they were doing crazy noise jesus-drug folk before all this batman forever crap!" honestly the new stuff i think is better than this, it's a new form of music. also they'd be...

LSD is just an alkaloid made from rye fungus (ergot) cooked down until and mixed with 1,000's of dollars worth of illegal reagents to extract LSD. Because it's active at microgram dose you get acid or it's water. you can't make bad acid, you can sell other drugs that suck as acid though. but a...

@spacemanjoeb

nothing is heavier than the zaireeka/soft bulletin period drums. these are much softer and warm. the great thing about the new stuff is the drum beats, they all sound like loops, straight through. i don't think many other bands would be capable of making this type of music afte...

the first time i heard this album it was a collection of noises that i thought was too fractured to ever get anything out of. the second time i heard it i noticed the bass parts were like bach runs, the third time i heard how catchy the guitar riffs are, the fourth time i can't remember cause i ...

i love how they all insert little deep crazy words and speeches into their interviews, but i'm not sure if they can stop

^^ agree with you entirely. what a fool. writing a song just to goof off. except that it's actually quite a feat, an exercise in syllables and alliteration and hallucination. dylan never got this surreal and he tried very hard. he just wrote a song of pure ear candy. for the first time (re...

A) i agree a little. B) genres no longer exist. C) don't use the word rock, only old people think it sounds cool. D) you completely missed the point of the show. E) delete photoshop, delete this account, you are irrelevant. F) you're seriously critiquing a show infamous for twists that a...

he patterns himself after bob dylan socially. you can tell he couldn't wait to turn on the media and get upset about his cute image because he's so "deep". he has so much more than a dick. he's a dick that has 9 grammy's. i bet it was fun at first to be a put-on artist like dylan was (albeit ...

@stanibol

it was just a mean sarcastic comment. i was trying to be funny but now that i read it again it's just mean. i was trying to relate that you gave a lot of information that is really unobtainable unless you're...i dunno, living inside the person's brain who you're talking about. it j...

the only way you'll ever really get any comedian on any level (or label them the greatest) is to research the times they lived in, what other "socially acceptable" comics were around, are they saying something that reaches people? i think all of them broke the boundaries that existed at the time...

he would call visconti and lie about sales (tony came to expect it and always checked ahead of time). he always had a #1 record when he was #2 or 3; very petty things. he was taught how to use image early on. he wrote fantastic songs, and obviously he had a vivid imagination. he was bought ...

he's making it sound more ominous by playing 6th note bends on the whammy, which is like a wah that sounds like a slide. the guitar part is very simple, he just knows where things fit now. it's heavy and it's loud but (thank god) it's still those catchy riffs, just slathered in harmonies to make...

it was an off-hand comment that didn't mean much really anyway, but honestly i wish more bands would confront that shit. there was a period where before all that newerest wave "dance punk" stuff came along where even the bands expected you to just stare or they'd yell at you for moving around. ...

@jerkyfreak1

uh.... you guys know much about guitars? he plays by ear, for people like that it's easy to make lead riffs sound great, it's a very easy riff, but the way the time changes is brilliant. still, he's an efficient guitarist, far catchier than jimmy page or anybody technical like th...

whoa the way he went into "that would be something" is so good. i wasn't expecting that at all. McCartney's first album deserves to be right in there with the white album. maybe even more pure than some of his songs on there.

jack seems like he's on a lot of speed or something all the time. he stammers all the time and has crazy tangents. at first i thought it was just me but he's not like that at all in old interviews and everyone is saying he acts like Dylan. Dylan was a raging speed freak. no wonder they do the...

@NeilFraudstrong

i'd like to meet someone who does. i bet i never will. "strawberry fields forever", "a day in the life", "lucy in the sky with diamonds", "i am the walrus", "all you need is love", "across the universe" all written within john's "lost in weybridge" period. i think all the ma...

it takes such talent to make 1 rhythm work and stay in the pocket through a whole song. sgt. pepper's drums are even more effective. strawberry fields' kick/snare 4/4 into the huge drum section is so perfect/simple. the hi-hat and kick drum parts are so interesting and overlooked. like the op...

mostly the big problem is with your sound, the fills are fine, they're not what ringo did but there are 10 or 11 drum sets, full drum sets, playing this beat, it's a little hard to capture with one set of drums. the bass drum strikes in all the right places (this song has one of the best uses o...

it's him. "The great cosmo!!!" -- there you have it; hashish, children: it will make you not sound as if you are yourself on a youtube video in the future.

when paul is dead they'll be saying he's a live, that's the funny bit.

Derek was in a very bad way. In order to do his job and stay sane he started to drank quite heavily. It really got bad when Apple Boutique closed. He was crushed. Many times they'd find him passed out with his bottle of scotch or whatever after five or six days of being on the phone working ...

@IMNOTAPOLICEOFFICER

the man who introduces him is Ralph Gleason. a google or two should yield plenty of information about his relationship with Bob's music and career.

mono mixes were the only mixes actually mixed by the artists generally. if dylan was supervising a mix, it would be the mono until at least 1966. the stereo mixes were a novelty. the beatles didn't oversee the stereo mix of sgt. pepper, but were crucial to the mono mix. also the later albums ...
