[Vincent Hanna]

I actually felt bad for her watching this...she's working it but...


Well, he ain't no Latoya lol


Whatever makes ya feel funny/cringe/wtf, share them here.

Probably anything from Yoko Ono

 

[CliffMcTainshaw]

Courtney Hadwin, because this isn't what you expect from a 13 year old.

Probably anything from Yoko Ono

Yeah, but she was the only good thing about Lennon's last album, Starting Over. Listen to 'Kiss Kiss Kiss' - better than anything John dredged up.

The title-track of that album is an atrocity and all Lennon's fault.

 

[Vincent Hanna]

Oh boy...

 

[screech]

 

[the_interloper]

Bring The Noise it wasn’t

 

[Norwegian Blue]

You can actually pinpoint the exact moment his career dies.

 

[Gough]

 

[Mootsy]

Just to note, when this happened, the producer flipped the bird at the band for the entire remainder of the song, and you can see Costello eyeing him off for the rest of the song, lol.

This interview is hilarious. Bee Gees walk out in the end. Clive Anderson is obviously a fan of their early work and he's making jokes about the 70's era at the band's expense and they're pretty good natured about it, even joking back, but eventually it crosses the line for Barry Gibb, starting with the "one letter short" comment. Maybe it was the mix of semi-serious questions and irreverent comments and the constant changing of tone and topic. I can see why it could grate and I notice there's a bit where Maurice is answering a question about the early days where Barry seems to signal with his fingers to Robin that they should leave.

 

[dumb]

when i think of wtf, always think of this 'artist'

 

[screech]

About as creepy it gets from Angry Anderson

 

[Professor Knowall]

Nothing unusual about a country band playing - or a band playing country - in Texas ... except for this one -


Actually, Ronny Wood does a pretty good job playing the difficult to master pedal steel.

 

[Plugger35]

The Stones have gone country in Texas before, notably on this song off Sticky Fingers.





Mick Jagger is a big cricket fan, I'm more surprised he wasn't singing Bob Willis is Still The King.

They do "Sweet Virginia" on the same show too. The Stones did a bunch of great country songs in the late '60's and early ''70's.

Pretty funny that an English rock band can sound better playing country than most (if not all) genuine country acts.

Haha, I actually thought it said Bob Willis and I thought "How ****ing good!"

Richards is a huge old country fan. There are outtakes of him by himself doing Hank Williams etc. He was best mates with Gram Parsons in the 60s until he died. Gram hung out in France with them a while during Exile period. Wild Horses has some juicy KR country licks in the solo.
Country Honk has a great fiddle part throughout by some country guy. Story is he recorded it outside the actual studio building on street. lol
I think that is a big part of why I love the Stones sound, particularly during that period BB to EOMS. Chuck Berry mixed with acoustics, and some blues and country solos.

 

[Soldier Of Misfortune]

I don't think you need to love Discharge to enjoy the bollocking this band took when they toured Grave New World. For those who haven't heard of them - Discharge were a pioneering band as punk turned into hardcore, fast, hard and abrasive. Their first releases are extremely well respected in their scene.

Then they released Grave New World. Suddenly the singer is trying to be Robert Plant. Nobody wants this.

Hear the sound of a crowd chanting louder than the band playing through a PA system to let them know what they really think. This one's enjoyable from beginning to end, hearing the band attempt to try again only to give up.

They hit a level during that period that seldom few - if any - have matched. I certainly don't think any other rock act made 4 consecutive albums of such quality, with the glorious Get Yer Ya-Ya's Out right in the middle of it. Don't get me wrong, I adore the earlier Brian Jones era Stones just as much, but they hit an incredible run of form with the addition of Mick Taylor.

And have not gotten close to it since he left. Have you read Stanley Booth's True Adventures Of The Rolling Stones ?
