OK, is this the worst piece of music writing ever?

I don't think I've ever heard Vanilla Fudge. They fell through the same crack that caught Uriah Heap.

also Hurting, you know that "upright bass" is actual terminology, right

the Vanilla Fudge version of "You Keep Me Hanging On", which my dad played to death

There should be something called downright bass.

i'm gonna see my dad in a week or two cuz he's coming down from upstate new york to see the louis hayes trio in brattleboro. he bought tickets online. 2+ hour drive does not keep his 75 year old self from the jazz.

imo vanilla fudge should not just be heard but seen

i can't load all, can anyone relink to the post that set off this conversation?

some douchebag twentysomething wrote a jazz listicle for a once venerable publication

you ain't missin much

so I click on this thread and you guys are discussing Vanilla Fudge

you know it kinda freaks me out that djp's dad and my dad would have a common point of connection at all and that it would be vanilla fudge

yeah that Vanilla Fudge video is like a master class in psychedellic stage hamming

you know, after watching that video I kind of have to say I'm regressing back to childhood and deciding that Vanilla Fudge pwns

wait holy shit @ that video

more classic tim bogert o face for u

^ junior wells' "shotgun"

lol junior walker's i mean

this article doesn't really chive with me

There's a hilarious line in Townshend's autobio about Vanilla Fudge: "Yes, they were louder than us. But they were still Vanilla Fudge."

I'm going to replace the "laser on" sign that lights up outside of our lab with "At one point, Head Hunters was the best selling jazz album of all time. Be warned though, there is experimentation happening here."

I've performed with Dave Brubeck twice btw, I just wanted to throw that out there </insufferable>

i once delegated the task of buying dave brubeck a six pack of heineken

yeah that Vanilla Fudge video is like a master class in psychedellic stage hamming

drumstick twirls are A+

reading vv now is kinda lol but mostly sad

getting phil freeman vibes from this guy tbh

Rock & Roll is probably my fave Fudge album. great title too.

from the Rock & Roll era. just mayhem.

more keyboardists need to flail their left hand when they're not using it

at first I thought he was directing the band, and then I realized he was communing with the infinite wonder of an ever-expanding, unknowable universe

also I'm super-impressed that he can flail like that and still support his breath

When he would sit down on the piano, he would strike two half notes (notes next to each other that sound awful when played together) to simulate the imaginary notes between the two piano keys.

It's like a game of telephone that started with Hermann von Helmholtz in 1880 just finally made its way to Joseph Lapin, and he wrote down the message.

i really hope that nothing i write ever ends up in this thread.

write exclusively about vanilla fudge and you will be ok

write about vanilla fudge with your right hand while flailing the left

huge fan of the low-budget tv in-out mindzoom

Wait does this fuck also review classical music for VV or are those (astonishing) bits pulled from elsewhere?

the dude that wrote the "ten jazz albums to hear before you die" piece also got a "top 5 multiplayer nintendo games" post up today at the oc weekly so i'm not surprised if he's covering classical too

top 10 tyrannical dictators

DJP tell your pop to stay tuned for my Vanilla Fudge thinkpiece

done and done

the classical bit was pulled from elsewhere and is Joseph Lapin, i didn't think the Jazz article was the same dude?

jazz article is also lapin

same dude

There should be something called downright bass.

Vanilla Fudge, rocking the ascot!

Downton Abbey Bass.

Downward Facing Bass

Downtrodden Bass.

yeah so i read that piece and strongo was right except that I now have the phrase "a jazz bucket, filled with masterpieces" stuck in my head

KFC currently offering an awesome jazz bucket special.

I once saw Eleventh Dream Day, and I was trying to figure out the type of fish on the back of Doug McCombs's bass. "Trout?" I asked my friend out loud. "No, idiot," said some other guy. "It's a bass.

one of my college friends wrote the following poem while in high school:

I like to sing bass
Because it rhymes with 'ass'

trout
how low can you go
