Yeah, yeah, yeah. The facts support my position, unpopular as it may be. So, if I may borrow an apt phrase from your lovely wife: bite me! :)FIFY.

I agree. Eventually I finally got to the point with several of my friends where I just told them that if I said "good" or "better" that meant that I liked it.It's totally silly. In music, and all art forms, "good" is a pretty subjective term. But it's the internet where everybody has their opinions and it's fun to sometimes argue an unpopular position, if the facts support it.
Actual fake news. John never said that and never would have. The "quote" was made up decades later and still circulates as a meme for trolls incapable of appreciating Ringo's drumming.
Why would someone make up such a quote? Any “fake news” quotes regarding or JL or GH being shitty guitarists or PM being a shitty vocalist/bassist? It’s fairly well known that RS was a mediocre drummer at best. But you’re wrong about pretty much everything so why would this subject be any different
Leave my boy, @RUaMoose alone. Solidarity, Moose! Logic and facts are on our side. We have #s resorting to personal insults now. :DNow you're just being a tool. I don't really give a shit if you believe me, but do you also think the case made by the expert in the video is not true? And clearly the video which you drew the still from which you posted, which implies that's when JL said this, didn't have any such quote. Find me one scintilla of evidence that JL actually said this and then we'll talk. Until then, you're simply wrong and perpetuating a hoax.
Specials are one of my favorites too. I worked for a large company and my superior was a South African. I remember driving him over to pick up his car from the dealership at lunch.. he had it tuned up during work. I had a Specials tape in my state of the art cassette.. sure enough, Free Nelson Mandella came on.. I was like Ralph Kramden.. "huminahuminahumina". Luckily, he supported ending apartheid... or so he said.. but I always wondered.. did he think I set that up?Curious, where/when did you see the Specials? They were the first concert I ever went to (Speaks nightclub on Long Island, March 1980). Would still rank that show in my top 3 list, just amazing.
I've thought about it quite a lot, I don't get it.

In all honesty, while I really like the Beatles music a lot, I've heard close covers by some extremely talented musicians and often liked the covers better, usually because of the drumming.when a 4 piece band sounds great, sure sign everyone's doing something right.
they were a local sensation live in small clubs before ever recording, and you can't pull that off with a bad drummer.
on a side note, i've personally met Pete Best.
maybe 7-10 yrs ago he and his band played a gig at a local club/bar not that far from where i lived at the time, and had a meet and greet after the show and signed stuff. (i even shook the dude's hand, and chatted for a few moments).
most everything was up tempo early 60s Brit Pop sounding stuff, (no half timing the hi hat), and he had no problem keeping up on stuff a lot a kids would struggle to keep up on after a few songs, and sounded very good.
very friendly and seemed quite happy.
Cool song.Just heard this for the first time on SiriusXMU last night and it blew me away, although I'm a sucker for chill wave type songs with catchy beats. The band is Easy Life and they're from Leicester City in the UK and this is their 2nd EP (they formed in late 2017). Lots of buzz. It'll be on the playlist for our upcoming "5 Songs" party and for the two fairly big gigs I'll be doing at work in June (dept. party at Rahway Park and site BBQ for our RY site).
Yeah, figured that one was right up your alley. Posted it to FB earlier and got a ton of likes and some comments on it. Even Matt Pinfield likes it, lol.Cool song.
yeah.. why is it that country stations play the same stuff over and over and over...?If you like country,but get tired of the same 20 songs over and over on mainstream radio stations,try www.ircountry.com. I have lots of favs including Holly Tucker, Kevin Fowler, and the Josh Abbott Band.
Because girls are always leaving their guys, pickup trucks break down and their horses run away on a daily basis.yeah.. why is it that country stations play the same stuff over and over and over...?
Like the Mannequin Pussy song - that guitar solo really sounds like J. Mascis from Dinosaur Jr. (best indie/alt guitarist ever, maybe), but couldn't find any evidence it's him.Sharon Van Etten from New Jersey:
J Mascis is God.Like the Mannequin Pussy song - that guitar solo really sounds like J. Mascis from Dinosaur Jr. (best indie/alt guitarist ever, maybe), but couldn't find any evidence it's him.
I played Seventeen at a gig a few months ago, right as it was really breaking big and it went over very well. Great song. Didn't realize she was a Jersey Girl. The Charly Bliss song didn't do much for me, but 2 for 3 is pretty good, lol.
He really is such an awesome guitarist and not too bad as a songwriter/performer too. Great live shows, too. Since this is an RU football board, I'll post their 1993 minor hit, "Start Choppin'."J Mascis is God.
It did sound a little like him though.
Funny thread. Lots of old people trying to act young.
And some here need to stick with Benny Goodman and Frank Sinatra, but what about the Atlantic City Expressway? That's your sweet spot!I'll stick to my Joe Bonamassa, Allman Bros, etc.

Now that is a damn good idea.I always thought Sayreville '78 - '80 needed a documentary. Anybody know an HBO producer willing to take a pitch?
It's not an act.Funny thread. Lots of old people trying to act young.
Better than sitting on your porch in a Depends, eating prunes and screaming get of my lawn.Funny thread. Lots of old people trying to act young.
So this excludes RU/Mets fans, their souls were sucked away a long, long time ago. :)But you have to have one first.
Let's see Ringo play this.Grohl, Copeland, etc. are all spinning like mad about Ringo. Great drummers don't need someone to make a video with a bunch of other drummers proclaiming their greatness. It's self-evident. The fact that someone felt it necessary to make that video just proves my point.
Ringo might have been a little creative, it's hard to say. But he lacked the talent of his band-mates. As for fitting in, any good musician knows how to listen to his band-mates and fit in with them perfectly. So any other good drummer could've fit in just fine with the Beatles. Wasn't rocket science.
Also, I never said the Beatles were bad; they were great. They could've been even better with a better drummer.
