Re: Anniversary of John Lennon's death
I have never been a fan of the Beatles. However, I can say that, whilst Van Morrison and the Rolling Stones were making unlistenable trash (I would still choose the Beatles over the *shudder* Stones any day), OTHER people were making good music. People such as
and
also
not to mention
but, most of all,
The Voodoo Child. He will be missed.
Also, John Lennon, however much you may hate him, was not an evil man. Besides, he was shot. Show some respect for the dead. Hell, I don't like him, but I will still show a little respect.
Re: Anniversary of John Lennon's death
WOW!! This is great...I mean when somebody dies (here at least) people only sais good things about him, no matter his mistakes.
It's funny to look at an aniversary thread degenerate into criticism and flames.

Re: Anniversary of John Lennon's death
Yeah... I should calm down about this.WOW

But I AM going to leave my post up, so that people can see what good music was all about during the 60's... actually, that was what I was really pissed about- Adrian referring to the Stones and Van Morrison as good music. Ech.

Re: Anniversary of John Lennon's death
You should have been here when Jacques Derrida or Yasser Arafat died. There was little sympathy shown, no quarter given. This is the backroom, Soulforged. If you can't stand the heat...WOW
Oh, and I totally agree that Hendrix was a great musician. I was going to mention him next as one who made real music in the 60's.

Re: Anniversary of John Lennon's death
Well, there is a difference between John Lennon and a filthy terrorist bastard like Arafat, even you have to agree with me on this, but then again...

Re: Anniversary of John Lennon's death
See what I mean, Soulforged?
Thanks for the object lesson, Dave.

Re: Anniversary of John Lennon's death
Oh but I can...that's what I said this was funny. However you'll have to agree that this is an aniversary thread.
If you want criticism then I shall say to you that the best band of those times was Deep Purple, by a long shot, that improvised song...I think it was "Speed King", WOW, I mean I've seen actors improvise, but musicians, at that level?
Is there? No seriously...

Re: Anniversary of John Lennon's death
This is the biggest load of crap ever posted on these boards. Lennons big care was for humanity. He cared for everyone in fact it seeemed to be his purpose in life to try to make things better for the average man. Just listen to the lyrics of his songs. There wasnt a more caring man on the face of the earth.Egomanical was the term I'd choose. John Lennnon onnly cared about the wants and needs of one person, John Lennon. It was always the vibe I got off him in interviews.
Some people here should be ashamed . Bashing a man who cared so much for humanity and gave us the greatest music in the history of the world.
Yes the kid grew up poor and neglected. How about all of Jaggers kids? Is there even a counting of them and the women who had them? The guy was a friggin mucscian during the 60s. They all more women than they knew what to do with.He didn't even look after his own kid,
Bad songs? And what Indian is this? The beatles are the greateest group in history and Lennon was their leader. If not for the Beatles many of the groupd you mentioned may well never have made it. You really need some musical history lessons here. The Beatles were musical geniuses and are compared today to Beethoven and other great classical composers. Many of you here it seems lack class and taste. Other than that I love all the other groups you mentioned but they dont hold a candle to the Beatles.he was too busy screwing around, taking LSD, writing bad songs and sucking up to an Indian in a skirt.
Change the world?
Please...
Meanwhile, back in the sixties, real men were making real music.

Re: Anniversary of John Lennon's death
Unfreakingbelievable.
Alot of people care about alot of things. If I don't agree with the second part of your statement, why would I care about the first? I personally would rather listen to a guitar being hit with a cat than to the Beatles.
So Mick is being used as the standard role model for fathers these days? At least Jagger wasn't sanctimonous about his role. Sheesh.
I don't understand how someone like you could get so emotionally charged over something so obviously subjective.
This reminds me of all the imbeciles in my middle school who wore black for months after Kurt Cobain died. Yeah, Teen Spirit was catchy, but so is Sherri Lewis's Song That Never Ends.
If you liked his music, say you like his music. Let's not pretend this is the anniversary of Mother Theresa's death.
Re: Anniversary of John Lennon's death
They didn't. And even if they did, he wouldn't be a sanctimonious closet revolutionary about it.My, I can see you know your classics. Ever heard of the Mahareshi?So is 50 cent, depending on who you believe.

My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.
Re: Anniversary of John Lennon's death
Yup, I'll take the Bluegrass Clodhoppers over Manson anytime.
Yeehaw!

WOW, you really hate talent don't you?Yup, I'll take the Bluegrass Clodhoppers over Manson anytime.
Yeehaw!
You are sad. First Lennon and now M.Manson. Who's next ? Elvis?
Re: Anniversary of John Lennon's death
I am so sad.
Speaking of Elvis, yeah, I love the old Elvis when he was mean and lean and... clean. Did you ever hear his Devil in disguise or Guitar Man? The intense energy he exudes, and passes on to his band.
