Now it’s coming out that Kill Bill’s stunt coordinator Keith Adams was lied to that there weren’t any stunts planned on the day the crash was done, as he could have overruled Tarantino if he’d been on set. For full disclosure, this is coming from another stunt person who’s friends with Adams and he hasn’t yet…

It’s missing from my nerd resume so I might have to give it a shot.

The fact that Marlon Brando had sex with Richard Pryor just makes me happy. IDK why. Something about it just seems right.

Does he finally come clean about his affair with Starla?

I do like that Quincy Jones claimed that he: dated Ivanka Trump, knew for sure that the mob killed Kennedy, suggested Marlon Brando had sex with Richard Pryor and the biggest headline people wanted to discuss was an exaggerated diss on Ringo Starr’s drumming and Paul McCartney’s bass playing that could’ve come from…

It really is an absurd comparison.

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…

The Beatles are my heroes, but I also listen to piles and piles of classic jazz. If Jones is talking in terms of sheer musicianship (and I’m sure he is) he’s right- there are tons of jazz drummers and bassists who could eat alive virtually all the best that rock has had to offer. You have to have a VAST knowledge of…

That... wow, that really not how that work. Your parents need to have talk with you they should have had many years ago.

Quincy Jones, as a bandleader and producer... I can kind of see where he’s coming from. If he was looking for a band member or a session player, and any of the Beatles auditioned, I doubt any of them would get (or deserve) the job. If you need someone to play the same thing the same way night after night, or play…

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.

Bob Dylan is not that good of a singer. Josh Groban has a much better voice. Therefore Bob Dylan must not be any good.

Of all the hot takes that proliferate on the internet, “Paul McCartney is a poor singer” is the most adorable.

I’m a Ringo apologist, and you’re spot on. I can’t remember where, but I read someone saying that the remarkable thing about Ringo’s drumming is how often you can identify a Beatles song by the drum part alone (not in the sense of “oh, that’s The Beatles” but as in “oh, that’s Strawberry Fields” or “oh, that’s…

“You won’t find many drummers who think Ringo was bad.”

Yeah man, I mean, Quincy may have hung out in the studio for a session or two but he’s never “produced” a Beatles song. Ever. George Martin and, to a lesser extent, Geoff Emerick were the only producers to have ever produced the Beatles. George Martin’s role was HUGE. The Beatles don’t exist without George Martin,…

You’re entitled to your opinion of course. But there’s just no real use in designating their musicianship ‘bad’ when their records are so ridiculously listenable and enjoyable and have clearly withstood the test of time for the vast majority of humanity. If music that appreciated is ‘bad,’ then the basic conception of…

It’s an inarguable fact that the guys who composed “Do You Want to Know a Secret?” and the man who wrote the “Sanford and Son” theme song are all musical geniuses who have done so much to shape the pop landscape that it’s almost impossible to imagine it without them.

Jazz guys always rip on rock musicians for not playing at their level of musicianship, it’s usually nothing personal though, it’s just how they are. In a way though it can be a huge difference between the two, jazz takes a lifetime to master and is very competitive in terms of improvisational and skill and rock music…

He should be
