No he's not.

That's what you think, you obviously have I different perception of what makes a bassist great. I enjoy energy and enthusiasm, Hoppus is always energtic and fun on stage. He isn't the greatest skill ever, however he's better than you're giving him credit for.

He is a good performer. I don't think he's a good bassist.

Titus

Mark Hoppus

he's a great bassist,

No he's not.

McCartney, Dave Bronze, Klaus Voormann.

Someone had a screen shot of this in their sig back in the day.

There are too many sub genres, these days.

Sorry that was kinda vague. It uses guitar, but most Clapton albums the guitar is the main focal point if you get me. Alot of solos, complicated riffs etc and the guitar drives the songs. In this the vocals do while the guitar is more in the background than on his other work. In my opinion of course.

The only goes for about 8 minutes, if I remember correctly. The ones I mentioned were 10mins or above. But that is my favourite Beatles song.

No one cares about tennis. You could tell by the way they kept cutting to Bec Cartright during Leyton's matches.

Wow. The first movie sounds so much better than all of these comics do.

Lazy Grey - Banned In Queensland

Aussie hip hop. I like it alot.

I still have yet to hear Clapton's "Me and Mr. Johnson". I hope it's better than 'From the Cradle', I didn't care for that one too much. I really wish he was charging less for his recent concerts, as he's had Doyle Brahmall II and Robert Randolph and the Family Band opening.

It's a very "safe" album, if you will. It's very produced and I know some people don't like that. It's not as emotional as Clapton can be... which is partly I guess because it's not a guitar album. If anything it really showcases Clapton's voice which isn't such a bad thing.

That said I did like the album quite a bit. It's very respectful and got me motivated to finally dig a little deeper and check out some original Johnson stuff.

I'm becoming a big Robert Johnson fan since I got Clapton's album of Johnson covers.

Couple of my favourite 10min plus songs (done from memory so I think they're all over 10mins... I can't be bothered getting all of my CDs out to check):

- Bob Dylan 'Desolation Row'

- Bob Dylan 'Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands'

- Bob Dylan 'Joey'

- Bob Dylan 'Highlands'

- Bob Dlyan 'Like A Rolling Stone (MTV Unplugged Version)'

- AC/DC 'Jailbreak' (Jam Version)

- AC/DC 'Let There Be Rock' (Jam Version)

- Jimi Hendrix 'Voodoo Chile'

- Jimi Hendrix '1983 (A Merman I Should Turn To Be)'

- Led Zeppelin 'In My Time Of Dying' (Live Version)

- Led Zeppelin 'No Quater' (Live Version)

- Neil Young 'Cowgirl In The Sand'

- Neil Young 'Love To Burn'

- Opeth 'Blackwater Park'

- Tool 'Disgustipated'

- Tool 'Third Eye'

- Paul McCartney 'Eleanor Rigby/Eleanor's Dream Medley'

- Paul McCartney 'Hold Me Tight/Lazy Dynamite/Hands Of Love/Power Cut Medley'

- Stevie Ray Vaughan 'Tin Pan Alley'

- Jackson Brown 'Load Out & Stay'

- Jimi Hendrix 'Machine Gun'

- Bruce Springsteen 'Jungleland'

- Justin Timberlake 'I'm Loving It (Live Band Introduction Version)'

I'm sure there's more.

They got engaged. It's been all over these bullshit A Current Affair shows tonight.

As well as Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen...

They've been making fun of this on Australian radio for months now. Pretty shitty idea.

If the bowl at your toes either advance down the pitch to the slow bowlers, or for the quicks hit it down legside (if you time it correct you'll hit it, but you gotta be confident because if it's on the stumps and you miss you're fucked). Only other advice I'd give is not to try any power shots until the guy has dug in for a bit in a test... I usually tuck them away till I'm about 30 or so. Be careful once you hit milestones (50, 90's, 100 etc) as I'd say there's some AI in the game that makes you get out around here if you go for power shots... have to sorta dig in again for another 10 runs or so.

Anyway, go get 2004. The confidence meter = best inclusion in a cricket game ever.

* Bubsy the Bobcat: Claws Encounters of the Furred Kind. Once you get over the fact that you die really, REALLY easily (but have 9 lives, being a cat), the game's great. Yeah, and your entire purpose is to save the world from aliens known as 'Woolies' who've come to steal all the yarn balls you like to play with. The humanity...!!

Holy shit I remember this game and it ruled hardcore. All this talk is gunna make me go rumage through the basement to find all my old consoles...

I liked it. Not gorundbreaking but pretty funny.

Why did it need three people to post that IWC would probably post the answer later? You suck at subtle postwhoring

←

Tom wasn't postwhoring, he was making fun of the original poster. And I like that.

Judging from everyone's negative comments (and not just including here) on season 2 I imagine I'd probably eat season 1 up but I'd be far too embarassed to ever get it on DVD.

I don't watch the show, but this is is so fucking sad. Are you that self concious that you can't buy a DVD off someone at the shops you don't even know?

All Things Must Pass - George Harrison

Sunrise doesn't last all morning,

a cloudburst doesn't last all day.

Seems my love is up

and has left you with no warning.

But it's not always going

to be this grey.

All things must pass,

all things must pass away.

A Day In The Life - The Beatles

I read the news today oh boy

About a lucky man who made the grade

And though the news was rather sad

Well I just had to laugh

I saw the photograph

He blew his mind out in a car

He didn’t notice that the lights had changed

A crowd of people stood and stared

They’d seen his face before

Nobody was really sure

If he was from the House of Lords.

I saw a film today oh boy

The English Army had just won the war

A crowd of people turned away

But I just had to look

Having read the book.

I’d love to turn you on

Woke up, got out of bed,

Dragged a comb across my head

Found my way downstairs and drank a cup,

And looking up I noticed I was late.

Found my coat and grabbed my hat

Made the bus in seconds flat

Found my way upstairs and had a smoke,

And somebody spoke and I went into a dream

I heard the news today oh boy

Four thousand holes in Blackburn, Lancashire

And though the holes were rather small

They had to count them all

Not they know how many holes it takes

To fill the Albert Hall.

I’d love to turn you on.

Hey Jude - The Beatles

Hey Jude don’t make it bad,

Take a sad song and make it better,

Remeber, to let her into your heart,

Then you can start to make it better.

Julia - The Beatles

Half of what I say is meaningless

But I say it just to reach you, Julia.

Rocky Raccoon - The Beatles

Now the doctor came in stinking of gin

And proceeded to lie on the table.

He said Rocky you met your match.

And Rocky said, Doc it’s only a scratch

And I’ll be better, I’ll be better doc as soon as I am able.

Yesterday - The Beatles

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away

Now it look as though they're here to stay

Oh, I believe in yesterday

Suddenly, I'm not half the man I used to be

There's a shadow hanging over me

oh, yesterday came suddenly

Why she had to go I don't know, she wouldn't say

I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday

Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play

Now I need a place to hide away

oh, I believe in yesterday

Why she had to go I don't know, she wouldn't say

I said something wrong, now I long for yesterday

Yesterday, love was such an easy game to play

Now I need a place to hide away

oh, I believe in yesterday

Let Me Roll It - Wings

You gave me something, i understand,

You gave me loving in the palm of my hand

I can't tell you how i feel

My heart is like a wheel

Let me roll it

Let me roll it to you

No More Lonely Nights - Wings

May I never miss the thrill of being near you

And if it takes a couple of years

To turn your tears to laughter

I will do what I feel to be right

Maybe I'm Amazed - Wings

baby, i'm amazed at the way you love me all the time,

and maybe i'm afraid of the way i leave you.

maybe i'm amazed at the way you pulled me out of time,

you hung me on the line.

maybe i'm amazed at the way i really need you.

baby, i'm a man, maybe i'm a lonely man

who's in the middle of something

that he doesn't really understand.

baby, i'm a man,

and maybe you're the only woman who could ever help me.

baby, won't you help me to understand?

baby, i'm a man, maybe i'm a lonely man

who's in the middle of something

that he doesn't really understand.

baby, i'm a man,

and maybe you're the only woman who could ever help me.

baby, won't you help me to understand?

maybe i'm amazed at the way you're with me all the time,

maybe i'm afraid of the way leave you.

maybe i'm amazed at the way you help me sing my song,

right me when i'm wrong-

maybe i'm amazed at the way i really need you.

Isn't It A Pity - George Harrison

Isn't it a pity

Now, isn't it a shame

How we break each other's hearts

And cause each other pain

How we take each other's love

Without thinking anymore

Forgetting to give back

Isn't it a pity

Some things take so long

But how do I explain

When not too many people

Can see we're all the same

And because of all their tears

Their eyes can't hope to see

The beauty that surrounds them

Isn't it a pity

Isn't it a pity

Isn't is a shame

How we break each other's hearts

And cause each other pain

How we take each other's love

Without thinking anymore

Forgetting to give back

Isn't it a pity

Forgetting to give back

Isn't it a pity

Forgetting to give back

Now, isn't it a pity

there's a few. might post some others later

Chase Dabney - From the US. Kentucky/Louisville area I think. Came to live in Australia for six months or so and I saw him once or twice a week for pretty much that whole time. Amazing acoustic guitar soloist. No vocals and probably not for everyone but he can play as good as anyone I've ever heard. If you ever get the chance to see him live, definately recommended - plays over his head, sculling a whole beer... does guitar "lap dances"... very animated and totally gets into it. Here's a good description on him:

An acoustic guitar is such a simple instrument in nature. Often it is underestimated as a versitile instrument. Chase has been pushing the physical and sonic boundaries of the acoustic guitar with his first release Acoustic Sounds (independently released). With three countries under his belt, Chase has traveled the world playing an acoustic guitar like most have never seen. His performances win crowds of any age group and any musical genre.

Crowded House

Huh? I've never heard anyone say anything bad about Crowded House. They're hugely respected by the media and fans alike... I have no idea how they wouldn't have "integrity".

←

If you read the post fully, I said it wasn't bands that were bashed by people, more bands that didn't have much following now, then they did when they were around, and some other bands who don't have much integrity.

Take it this way, someone who listens to Crowded House tends to think they are just middle of the road pop, with a little bit of rock, and massive amounts of sap. I love them, but that tends to be what people think.

Sorry, I thought we were posting in the Bands You Like That Everyone Seems to Criticise thread, not the Bands That Were Once Popular But Now Aren't Because They're Older thread.

In that case, for me it'd be Sinatra.

edit: typo

I love Justin Timberlake. I went to his concert, I own tshirts, blah blah. Pretty much all males hate him because he's "gay" but he owns. The new Michael Jackson.

Also fan of Avril Lavigne who gets crapped on for being a "poser" but I don't really care.

Kelly Clarkson owns.

Shannon Noll is excellent.
