Idk I'm not accusing them of ripping them off or anything, I just hear a lot of Satori in Easter Everywhere and vice versa.

And I'm not gonna defend Boris. You like em or you don't. I do, like, a bunch.

lol. i figured boris to have a big ilm fanbase (i'm ambivalent about boris, mostly).

And Daniel I don't know that I represent ILM by any means, but if I recall correctly their polls here have been popular affairs.
boris are hit or miss but when they hit they hit hard

ghost are a little more consistent but yeah they're not like boris much

Right I mean I feel like saying that "Boris is consistent" is like saying "restaurants are consistent." There are so many different kinds of Boris that you can't rely on them to do The Thing They Do because there is no Thing. There is just The Stuff.

lol @ fushitsusha fan calling out boris for not living up to the hype
― call all destroyer, Monday, 16 August 2010 00:44 (thirteen years ago) link
you are kidding right? ever seen Fushitsusha live? I am guessing not ... Boris are so mediocre , Fushitsusha move mountains
― Stormy Davis, Monday, 16 August 2010 00:55 (thirteen years ago) link
why would i have seen them live? after hearing so much about the legendary haino that i had to investigate, i was treated to albums worth of really dull stoner garage.

boris v. fushitsusha shaping up like godzilla v. megalon.
― Daniel, Esq., Monday, 16 August 2010 01:01 (thirteen years ago) link
Boris are seriously one of the lamest bands ever. They put their finger to the wind, thought that being Japanese and doing sludge a-la Melvins would be the way to go. dude I bought the fucking Melvins 'Bullhead' LP on Boner when the fucker first came out. so "Boris" decided to tie their wagon to the Japanese hard rock tradition. well, they don't match up. it actually depresses me that folks like Akita work with them. And people like 'call all destroyer' get all defensive about their beloved Boris. Fuck Boris, they fucking suck compared to the great Japanese rock bands
― Stormy Davis, Monday, 16 August 2010 01:05 (thirteen years ago) link
Fushitsusha live at the Empty Bottle in 1997 was truly a life-changing show ... just unreal....

Speaking of being a racist, it's cool that Boris thought "being Japanese" would be the way to go, real clever of you to catch that
― zorn_bond.mp3, Monday, 16 August 2010 01:10 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah it is
i mean, the very idea...
the very idea that you can even COMPARE Fushitsusha to a bunch of lamestains like Boris is fucking hilarious
Fushitsusha one of the best entities of all fucking time
― Stormy Davis, Monday, 16 August 2010 01:11 (thirteen years ago) link
I remember when Wata e-mailed me all like "yoooo we've finally figured it out: we're gonna be JAPANESE!!!"
― zorn_bond.mp3, Monday, 16 August 2010 01:11 (thirteen years ago) link
I just don't get why it is necessary to compare bands on account of their nationality. This is like the new Anglophilia.
― P oco, Monday, 16 August 2010 01:11 (thirteen years ago) link
ppl like 'stormy davis' pulling nonsensical i-was-there old dude bullshit. and i never said i 'loved' boris or anything close. but i'm done here.
― call all destroyer, Monday, 16 August 2010 01:12 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah, cuz the melvins were so fucking hip in 96. (i was into the melvins then, there was noone less hip then that melvins.)
you must hate Keiji Haino with Boris - Black: Implication Flooding then.
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Monday, 16 August 2010 01:12 (thirteen years ago) link
hahaha "he was there" when it comes to japanese rock music because he bought a melvins lp one time
― zorn_bond.mp3, Monday, 16 August 2010 01:13 (thirteen years ago) link
nah, whatever, I've loved all these bands, and followed their careers!! cool if you think I am wrong, that's the point of a message board. fact of the matter, tho -- yeah, Boris SUCK compared to like everybody

ha, that elton song is pretty rad. he is like on of last classic rock ppl that I *haven't* gone ahead and and bought everything by.
Still, I *know* I need 'Tumbleweed Connection'...

*Tumbleweed Connection* is fire from start to finish ... need a UNI original w/ the booklet tho....

i have a love-hate feeling about elton john's catalog. half-love (someone saved my life tonight; levon), half-hate (island girl; the bitch is back; almost anything post 1979).
― Daniel, Esq., Monday, 16 August 2010 01:33 (thirteen years ago) link
as far as 'unlikely places for a clusterfuck' goes, this is pretty good.
I like most of the bands in question! Ghost were decent enough but kinda boring live though, besides the guitar heroics of Kurihara.
― Antoine Bugleboy (Merdeyeux), Monday, 16 August 2010 01:33 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah, 'Madman' is a cool LP too, has that guy B.J. Cole on slide guitar

I think this is otm:
thing is, they're so hit or miss that I've stopped paying attention unless kurihara is in the mix.

Ghost: love 'em, enjoy a good number of the albums. Saw them live a year or two ago in front of maybe 100 people and they killed it. Great psychedelic set that meandered and then refocused. My girlfriend loved them too.
Boris: awesome band, great live show. The albums can be hit-or-miss, but they have at least 9-10 albums that HIT and hit hard.
Melvins: legendary, and incredible. Can't beat their live show either. I've seen them blow numerous headliners off the stage as they knocked out the opening slot.
Fushitsusha: still exploring their catalog (CDs are hard to find/expensive!) but I've liked what I've heard, though not quite as much as...
Keiji Haino: ...whose solo efforts are generally quite awesome, and preferable to Fushitsusha.
Elton John: zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...
