Quote from: "SPECTRE"Until that crotchety old fart you reference comes along, allow me to opine that that is by far the worse rendition of that song ever committed to vinyl.
The only thing that could be worse is Black Sabbath doing a version of The Beatles "Michelle".
So, Frijid Pink is a "tasteful" band? Listen again to their TWO contributions to the music industry.Quote from: "SPECTRE"
Then ask why 2, or perhaps 3 albums they recorded since were never released, because their label didn't think they could sell more than 4 copies...one to each band member.
Covering traditional songs or ballads with loud distorted guitar work is what bands do when they cannot write their own material. Few carry it off with any degree of musical dexterity...Hendrix with "All Along The Watchtower" stands out. Deep Purple's "Kentucky Woman" was passable.
Frijid Pink is NOT Hendrix or Purple...not by a very long way.
Did I say you made any comparison?Quote from: "SPECTRE"
I made the comparison, with the conclusion that Frijid Pink do not stack up to those two artists, and thus their re-interpretation of a traditional song with typical American excess and lack of any subtlety is abhorrent.
My sortee into left field was merely to highlight your odious claim that their song was the best variation amongst many. Its a cacophonic catastrophe, yet little wonder it made the American charts, which have been frequently blessed with some of the worst pieces of music ever recorded.I must admit I am astonished that you challenge my taste in music. If the dirges you post here are any guide, I imagine you'd regard "Metal Machine Music" as a masterpiece.
You two are wrecking a decent thread.Quote from: "RW"
