I was reading the wiki article on Wes Borland and this bit stuck out to me:
Quote:
He also blamed his time in Limp Bizkit for difficulty in getting jobs with other acts such as Nine Inch Nails and Marilyn Manson in the past, stating that the other bands didn't want to be associated with his previous band.[34]
That doesn't sound right to me. Wes is a pretty respected guitarist in spite of his past band and I maybe get Trent being a dick about it (see Trent's interviews about letting them use some of his lyrics in that one song) but 2016 Marilyn Manson needed all the help he could get so that's just strange.

The fadeout ending of Van Morrison's Sweet Thing really works.
Theres a rolling stone article and interview with the lads who played on astral weeks. It’s only a few months back you should look it up. They’re mostly from Boston too.

just saw that post malone grammy´s performance....man, that was embarrassing.....he seems so talentless, but overall it sounds awful. And i dont get the RHCP song at all....whats Malone doing there? he is not playing anything. Just the background vocals in the chorus? And where the fuck is Josh guitar?

I think the band for whom there is the widest gap between how intensely I once loved them vs. how much I care to listen to them now is Guns N' Roses. There was a period of about two years, freshman and sophomore year in high school I'd say, where probably 50-60% of my listening was committed to this band; had I been aware of internet forums back then, I would have no doubt showered them with gushing superlatives that I would now be embarrassed to know were preserved via the Wayback Machine. For some reason I felt compelled to listen to "Use Your Illusion I" last night -- I legitimately used to love every single song on this record, but last night almost every single song on it sounded unfathomably and irredeemably terrible ("Don't Cry" and "November Rain" still sound pretty good, and I still seem to have a soft spot for "Bad Apples"). I also made the mistake of reading along with the lyrics -- gadzooks, Axl really comes up with some zingers:
"Sick of this life Not that you'd care I'm not the only one With whom these feelings I share"
"My mother never really said much to me She was much too young and scared to be Hell, Freud might say that's what I need But all I really ever get is greed"
It's remarkable how virtually none of this retains even basic nostalgic appeal for me -- it just sounds really, really bad.
