But that was the joke; how Quagmire - a decidedly care free, good natured pleasure seeker - could be so utterly contemptuous of and incensed by Brian. It was this contrast with Quagmire's normally hedonistic, superficial personality which rendered his profound resentment of Brian so hysterical. Quagmire's bitter and…

No, 'cause it just ain't funny no more.

Pretentious and boring as fuck. Yes, you have perfectly encapsulated the dire condition afflicting contemporary music in these desperate times. The tragically rapid degeneration of nearly all forms of popular entertainment is a most distressing symptom of the seemingly inevitable, rapidly approaching collapse of…

This show is now actively taunting me. It's daring begging me to put it out of its misery.

Well, Lars was hugely influenced by Ingmar Bergman, and most people missed the deep hilarity of his seemingly bleakest, darkest films. The Seventh Seal is a surprisingly humorous film, if your really paying attention. Or maybe if you're on nitrous oxide.

It also has a real vagina in it. But it's disguised as a real vagina.

Yes, I previously wrote a long winded, bitter rant of a comment about just how devoid of common, normal, rational standards are our Pasty White Geek AV Club Overlords. No Hendrix?! It's like when listing favorite shared activities you neglect to mention sex. Preposterous!

Entwistle is a virtuoso. I also like Chris Squire's bass playing. It's lyrical, melodic and percussive all at the same time. Jaco Pastorius made some awesome sounds, too.

Yeah, that one transcends all standards by which we judge solos or music or creative artistry. It's a resplendent expression of absolute unity with the deepest, most profound, loftiest of human impulses. Of course, I could say this about almost any Hendrix solo. He was a uniquely gifted, incomparably motivated,…

Well, it isn't that Rock guitarists are unquestionably the finest guitarists, no, that's not the situation. It's that Rock music for quite some time was a haven for music which wasn't defined by and lauded primarily for its technical proficiency, but rather was celebrated and embraced more so for its raw, naked, pure…

Damn! I was soooo close - I was right there - but then your story just stopped. Cold. It's like you enjoy withholding. You get off on withholding, don't you?

This movie is so compelling, there won't be a dry crotch in the house.

You AV Club people have shit taste in who you allow to comment here. Ha! I keed, I keed.

I like his style a lot. Especially "The Chain."

Dinosaur Jr. are a very quirky, idiosyncratic, particular type of sound, certainly not universal in its appeal. The guitar is certainly distinctive, but is it genuinely, profoundly compelling and evocative? Maybe.

It's a very evocative sound. The reverb is effective.

"More Trouble Every Day" by Frank Zappa on Roxy/Elsewhere. It's the most raw, expressive, intense, furious, tragic guitar solo in Rock History. It's his reaction to witnessing the LA Riots in '68.

Well, just about anything those two monsters created stands head and shoulders above every example by our esteemed AV Club overlords.

Right. And most ridiculous of all, no Zappa. Jeesh.
