Yeah, that. Also, how do you get two 50-year-old men to pretend to give a shit about a karate tournament they participated in while in fucking high school?

i love this response.

because social media has made us entitled little assholes, myself included, and we expect to be pandered to for the dopamine hit.

You don’t have to be good at playing your instruments to record good music.

And Joe would know. He had to kick Topper out of the band because of heroin. Prior to heroin, Topper was like a goddamn metronome.

And that really it. There no objectively “best” drummer based on ability, it all about style and who best fit for band. Me maintain that Meg White might be lousy drummer by any standard of proficiency, but she best possible drummer for White Stripes, because what that band need is drummer who can play simple beats and…

Quincy Jones is a legend... but no way he was in the studio with George Martin, producing the Beatles. It’s kind of funny that so many people are taking this seriously. He’s shit-stirring, that’s all.

True. I read something about Townshend saying he originally envisioned a drummer like Charlie Watts for the Who, but ended up with Keith Moon, but I think he needed a bombastic drummer because the rest of them were bombastic too. Charlie Watts would’ve been totally lost “in the mix.” It’s the difference between a Who…

Here’s the thing: when Quincy Jones say that the Beatles weren’t good, that is interesting because of who Quincy Jones is. When you say, you just sound like an asshole.

Boy, you don’t know very much about the Beatles. Let’s start with this: Quincy Jones did not do production work for them.

Nope. It’s Ringo. They were recording take after take of the song at about 10-15 minutes each (final version edited down to about 4 minutes) and after all day of doing that his fingers were blistered and he was pissed off and threw his sticks and screamed that.

Yes, the Darth Vader reveal! So like that. All bald and fucked up and pathetic.

In fairness, Ramones were fucking fantastic musicians, within narrow realm of kind of music they played. There might not be tighter, more consistent live band in history of rock music. And they were great at playing simple, energetic songs, which is all they needed to be great at.

He should talk to more people.

Those jive ass motherfuckers?

It’s like watching Darth Vader remove his mask.

Shit, can someone help me find my eyes? They rolled right out of my head when I read this story.
