Only wrong thread if you think not many people will agree with you. Personally I have no idea how popular/credible Pearl Jam are/were.

They’ve never bettered it IMO. I was listening to the radio yesterday and Yellow Leadbetter came on, great track. I was then informed that it was a leftover from the Ten sessions, no wonder it’s so good too. Edited May 22, 2022 by ezbass 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Despite being more than a little interested in "Gothic" music in most of its forms, I do not like anything that Nick Cave has produced, and think that as a songwriter he is vastly over-rated. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never really saw Nick Cave as a goth. Id put him closer to Tom Waits in terms of theatre and character driven prose. I like plenty of goth music, if taken with a heavy dose of irony as it’s all fairly ridiculous. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barking Spiders Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Mark King 'of bass' is great and slap is the best thing ever invented for bass playing 😊. I know for sure this is definitely an unpopular opinion on BC if not the wider bass and even music community 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guaranteed to clear a party in seconds (apart from fairy tale of new york - the pogues lovecats….) I was at a festival a number of years ago and Grinderman was playing. I met a local guy later who said Nick cave was shite wasn't he? I was like, I loved them. Then he said but Paulo Nutini was great and I said I thought he was shite. Just goes to show, tastes and all that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(disclaimer, may not have been written guitarist, i have no interest) Yep written by Mike McCready as a bit of a Hendrix freak out. Personally I find it’s one of their weaker songs from their early days - Eddie’s lyrics and warbling just feels a bit 6th Form College singer to me. There we go, that can be my unpopular opinion 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miles'tone Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 The Stone Roses debut album is one of the greatest albums ever made. I'm also of the opinion that somehow, they massively fluked it as they were rubbish live and never repeated that initial magic. I have no idea how this is possible. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xgsjx Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Here’s a possibly unpopular musical opinion…. I don’t know how true it is & it’s not my opinion, but it is “an opinion”. People who dislike slap bass only do so because they’re crap at playing slap bass. Me…. I like a bit of tastefully done slap bass. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stub Mandrel Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 The Wombles may have mimed on TOTP (some of them were stand ins from Fleetwod Mac IIRC), but they used to play live for real. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought he sounded like some drunk bloke singing in a pub (and still does). His voice really grates on me. One of my previous employers had a rep who covered Northern Ireland, good old Nigel. He stayed in one of the better area`s of the country and Van also had a pad there. Nige told me Van was the most unpleasant person he had ever met. And a crap singer to boot! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played a duo gig last night, in central London. Just me and a singing guitarist. Our audience was 200 or so happy, legless Sunderland fans!! We played Sweet Home Alabama and they all joined in, we had to go around the whole thing twice. After that they were putty in our hands! Same with No Woman No Cry, Brown Eyed Girl and all the Elvis songs we played. We were entertainers for the night and it was a good job done. . . . for them and for us. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
