Ghost - classic or dud, search and destroy

i am confident that you represent ilm.

both are great fuck the haters

Amon Duul??

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

you are kidding right? ever seen Fushitsusha live? I am guessing not ... Boris are so mediocre , Fushitsusha move mountains

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.

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

Fushitsusha live at the Empty Bottle in 1997 was truly a life-changing show ... just unreal....

oh now it's fucking on

i was ready to let it go but

This thread is A+++ hi-larious

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

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

I remember when Wata e-mailed me all like "yoooo we've finally figured it out: we're gonna be JAPANESE!!!"

I just don't get why it is necessary to compare bands on account of their nationality. This is like the new Anglophilia.

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.

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.

hahaha "he was there" when it comes to japanese rock music because he bought a melvins lp one time

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

never change, stormy

boris v. elton john, circa 2005.

i like them all too

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QyFexk-83lM&feature=watch_response

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....

madman across the water!

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).

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.

yeah, 'Madman' is a cool LP too, has that guy B.J. Cole on slide guitar

B.J. Cole was *everywhere* in the 70s...

i knew we could all come together

o_O at this thread

I think this is otm:

boris are hit or miss but when they hit they hit hard

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...

I like Ghost, I like Boris, but man, Rainbow bores me. Is Cloud Chamber much different?

Ghost were decent enough but kinda boring live though

o_O

i love that you chose to give us your personal rundown on every band we've discussed in the last 24 hrs xp

:)

But does your girlfriend like Elton John?

Does any girlfriend not?

lol @ fushitsusha fan calling out boris for not living up to the hype

hey no you don't say this ever

o_O

sorry! maybe they had a bad day, but it seemed kinda routine.

Pretty crazy how Boris changed from "good" to "one of the lamest bands ever" in the space of two hours last night - they must be feeling pretty devastated right now :(

I like Ghost, Fushitsusha and Keiji Haino, but not Boris, Melvins or Elton John. Can someone give me a 30-page character assessment now?

never heard any 'stoner garage' that sounds remotely like fushitsusha but sure wld like to!
