i keep watching/listening to them too :awe:

i'm reminded of max raabe, with is also great

I wonder how many (total) musicians they have to choose from? Just in the videos in this thread there are a few different guys on the drum kit. It'd be great to have these guys at the cocktail hour for a wedding.

 

[MagnusTheBrewer]

Some of the greatest rock and roll out there has been semantically null. You find a good riff and beat it into the ground. Simple, uncomplicated, good fun.

 

[zinfamous]

Not as bad as:

London calling.. something something something
London calling.. blahblahblah
London calling.. more stuff I can't understanding
London calling.. is this song over yet?

Haley Reinhart! :wub:

They seem to be along these lines I'd say, personally.

Like Muscle Shoals or The Wrecking Crew, or my judgement is really off.

Many of them appear to be set musicians to me at any rate.

It is pretty much up in the tops I've seen in a very long time, myself.

I would say this too. I'm not sure how I missed that thread, but without bumping it 'The Eagles' documentary on Netflix is fantastic. Muscle Shoals and 20 feet from stardom are also incredible. I can't listen to 'Gimme Shelter' without thinking of that documentary.

Also noteworthy, as a drummer I'm in love with that snare. What is it?

They make a lot of shitty songs palatable.

Wow, awesome.

I don't think ive ever heard the song the Op is talking about

It was produced before you guys were even born. It's like complaining that driving a horse and buggy is stupid. Of course it is... NOW.

But it wasn't stupid back in the day and neither was We're an American Band as the song was #1 on the charts for 10 weeks in the US leading to piles of cash. Sounds pretty smart to me.

 

[brianmanahan]

this is amazing

Here it is live in 1974 it's got amazing cowbell and lots of it

I wasn't born yet either, but I thank god my parents brought my up listening to real music. Music that was recorded using real instruments. I have loved all the 'classic' bands since childhood... and it's still what I listen to today. Of course there is new stuff here and there that I enjoy, but nothing will ever top what happened years ago as far as music goes.

The icing on the cake is this, it makes me cry a little bit: http://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100

 

[twinrider1]

what a stupid song

i mean seriously... DUMB

Rock is lost on you.


Now these fine ladies, they had a plan
They was out to meet the boys in the band

 

[Ryland]

Its no worse than Bob Seger's "Turn the Page". Man its been awhile since I have heard this song.

 

[KeithTalent]

Black Dog by Led Zeppelin is far worse.

[midwestfisherman]

+1

 

[Sho'Nuff]

born in the usa

repeat ad infinitum

That song is awesome only because Springsteen sings it as though he is pinching off a giant deuce and there is no bathroom in reach.

That's why he wraps it up and runs in the night. :sneaky:

Apparently, very many.

I've seen that snare somewhere before, can't place it off hand if the one I think you are looking at.

Maple hoop rims I think.

Not sure, possibly even modded...
