Meet the Geeks

Seanorama and FastFretFingers debate what constitutes great live music: do you like music that matches the album note for note, or do you prefer music that changes the songs. From improvisational jams, beat changes, different intros and outros, some bands change nothing from their album while others never play the same song the same way twice. Radio edits are changes to song that soften songs for radio: When Creep by Radiohead was changed for radio, one word completely altered what the song was about. Some bands like Gwar need to adjust their songs live because of their show. What does chemistry lie in bands that are in tune and able to improvise and change their songs live on a whim? They use the examples of Confuschia, Motley Crue, Led Zeppelin, 16 Horsepower, Kiss, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Radiohead, Gwar, Reverend Horton Heat, and the Tragically Hip. #confuschia #vinceneilvocals #16horsepower #ledzeppelin #kissalive #redhotchilipeppers #radiohead #radioedit #reverendhor

James Gunn is back with Disney/Marvel. Wow. I never would have predicted this would have happened. To be honest, things like this don’t happen in our day and age. James Gunn said some reprehensible things back in the day. It was meant to be shocking and controversial. And it fell flat. I have known many people--- in fact, most people I know--- that have said something controversial or offensive in their lifetime. In fact, if someone hasn’t said something controversial or offensive at some point in their life, I don’t trust them. Wisdom comes with age. It is not inherited. The truth of the matter is, we don’t end up fully formed out of the egg. Regardless of how well we are raised, or sometimes because of how well we are raised, we all say something asinine or stupid, something that gets someone’s dander up, something that deeply offends somebody else. We all begin ignorant. Every one of us. No exceptions. It is through life we learn to be better people. It’s inh
