Yeah when he does that wheedly lick that every 14 year old stumbles onto in their first six months of guitar, but for like a few minutes straight!

I'm watching this Red Rocks thing and went from "are they going to play a song" to "when does the facility management rush the stage and beat them"

They're a thought experiment: If Rush hadn't met Neil.

I mean they seem like nice enough guys and they are reasonably talented and I can't really hate them, but I kind of hate the musical zeitgeist that enables them to be a phenomenon rather than just a good bar band.

hahaha nailed it

i'm not sold on 'reasonably talented'. feel like they too will be embarrassed of this in 10 years. but they'll also have a real estate portfolio and no real job, so they definitely still win.

microsloth fig stimulator (Sufjan Grafton), Monday, 19 April 2021 17:51 (three years ago) link

yeah i mostly just kind of feel bad for the crowd going crazy eating it up, thinking they are seeing amazing face-melting rock, not realizing that they could be seeing a hundred versions of this band at their local bar or summertime beerfest in the park or whatever

nobody like my rap (One Eye Open), Monday, 19 April 2021 17:54 (three years ago) link

they cannot break into the foo fighters fan scene. need to buy early on greta van fleet.

microsloth fig stimulator (Sufjan Grafton), Monday, 19 April 2021 17:55 (three years ago) link

they feel less like a bar or beerfest band and more like a band that plays one song in a "Rock Through the Ages" type show that is free with park admission when you need to take a break from the roller coasters at Cedar Point.

microsloth fig stimulator (Sufjan Grafton), Monday, 19 April 2021 18:03 (three years ago) link

or maybe a similar show in an off strip vegas casino/hotel. someone comps you tickets at check-in because your room wasn't ready yet. you see them selling for $8 later that afternoon.

When the camera cuts to a guy in the crowd gleefully singing/rockin' along, it's a real eye-opener in terms of "even THIS is someone's favorite band"

Yawnsomely Literal Cover Band (morrisp), Monday, 19 April 2021 18:08 (three years ago) link

I just think it's kind of funny that these kids playing classic rock cosplay get people so absolutely, frothing at the mouth furious in certain corners of the internet.

soaring skrrrtpeggios (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Monday, 19 April 2021 18:08 (three years ago) link

still watching this red rocks vid and gotta say i take major issue with them busting out the 4+ minute drum solo feature only 10 minutes into the set! a true asshole move

nobody like my rap (One Eye Open), Monday, 19 April 2021 18:10 (three years ago) link

it's more being frustrated that there's a non-quiet sect of people hearing them and going YES, REAL MUSIC IS BACK, as if rock in the 70s was the zenith and we must never move beyond that template ever again.

P-Zunit (Neanderthal), Monday, 19 April 2021 18:10 (three years ago) link

Yeah, I mean the people praising them are just as hard to understand. I just find them too boring and, really, ultimately harmless, to get that angry about.

soaring skrrrtpeggios (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Monday, 19 April 2021 18:13 (three years ago) link

is the "it's rockist to hate this band for being derivative" take going spare or has it been done already

Left, Monday, 19 April 2021 18:15 (three years ago) link

I guess this is classic rock's Renaissance Fair stage

Yeah this is right, and also better captures the rated-PG feel of their classic rock pastiche

I don't even mind this as much as I mind that you could probably just take four random nashville studio guys and make a more convincing "classic rock is back" band than this with a week of rehearsal. It's like celebrating Bob Ross for reviving the technique of the old masters.

longtime caller, first time listener (man alive), Monday, 19 April 2021 18:41 (three years ago) link

I heard these guys on the radio this weekend and was prepared to give them a shot. But when the singing started it was actually offensive.

We already have an album of this!

I mean, lmk when GvF bassist plays something even on the level of "Working Man".

first Rush album is sweet

Totally! If they can give us anything as awesome as "Before and After"...
Also, thanks for the Starcastle rec earlier in the thread!

two weeks pass...

This is like classic rock written by an AI.

that is literally a c.2006 sketch show skit that is now a legitimate band in 2021. what a world.

That is one of the funniest combinations of music and performance I have ever seen.

Man the guitar player's acoustic fingerpicking sucks so bad, he can barely play in time.

longtime caller, first time listener (man alive), Wednesday, 5 May 2021 04:57 (three years ago) link

I will say it's nice that they can also rip off '70s Elton John in a way that reminds you just how good he was and they aren't.

This is like November Rain if it had been commissioned by the Liberace estate, but on a tight budget

Filibuster Poindexter (Neanderthal), Wednesday, 5 May 2021 05:08 (three years ago) link

Btw that singer is going to sound like Tom Waits in 3 years

Filibuster Poindexter (Neanderthal), Wednesday, 5 May 2021 05:09 (three years ago) link

^^Just in time for their "4 Guys In A Room" Roots move.

blue whales on ambient (C. Grisso/McCain), Wednesday, 5 May 2021 05:10 (three years ago) link

This song is terrible but, I don’t know, I almost admire them for this staging? Like, fuck it, you’ve made a decent amount of cash, have an inexplicably sized and loyal fanbase but you are probably the most hated band since Nickelback? Lean into it, I guess, and embrace the Liberace inside.

“Oh, he kinda sounds like Robert Plant.” “I dunno, I think he sounds like Geddy Lee.”

Both wrong:

gotta say this song changed my perception of rock music, I think I’m a fan

Long Tall Arsetee & the Shaker Intros (breastcrawl), Wednesday, 5 May 2021 06:04 (three years ago) link

possibly the first song ever where I didn’t register a single word of the lyrics. what a song to wake up with. this promises to be quite some day. what a world.
