They changed it more than a bit. A couple reviews mention the colors pop.

Year old article, I get it. But when did we start judging songs lock stock and barrel on their goddamn lyrics? Did you go to the lyric store back in the day? Is there a lyric store on iTunes? No? Then what the fuck?

Heck, John easily became a better singer than Anthony too, another highlight of the records and shows. To the point it made sense that he kinda had to leave the band all together instead of playing a supporting role.

Ah, but LIVE John was ripping his guitar to shreds on a nightly basis. Write the pop hits with the good looking frontman to be able to play an arena—-and then expose that arena to this hard funk/jazz/ethereal/melodic jam sensibility they traded in 4-5 times a night. When the cool kids bag on the Chili Peppers, I…

Well, how poppy their songs became helped their popularity, but Frusciante becoming a full blown guitar hero/sage certainly helped cement some fandom (I think he won "best guitarist ever" in some poll in England a few years ago), and frankly their jams live are often otherworldly and transcendent (again, Frusciante…

Funny, because she's never kicked anyone in a fight ever.

yeah, but they gave it a nice break for a while. I know Neil was done with it for a bit. Plus, last tour, they should probably pull it out.

hahaha. The last 4 tours or so Ged can be a problem, but this tour he cleaned up his diet a bit (& took legal steroids?), & he knocked it out of the park, for the most part. Everyone was kinda stunned.

down to 8 minutes now, how dare you! ;o)

It's ironic you're saying that the shows in the late 80's/early 90's were boring visually, when really that was just the tech at the time. Then you see a couple stage props & declare "YUP, STILL BORING". I mean this is all so definitive and yet so inaccurate. And the newest/last set up was one of the more interesting…

Yeah, that used to be a good criticism, but at the end of some songs now they imrov a bit. And the live releases are strictly because the fans want it, i.e., there's a big market. It's not like they're saying "HEY! Aren't we great live, you must know!" Plus with Blu-Ray, etc., the show is so interesting and good that…

Calm down? I was talking to the Rock Hall, not you, hence the last sentence. Also the "same as…" sentiment basically included NIN as HOF worthy, because I then used the same argument you made for the Mode, meaning both were worthy. It is just strange how a band who influenced and is more popular than the latter band…

Same with Depeche Mode, except the Mode are bigger overall (going by album sales and worldwide tour performance), and came a decade earlier than Trent and co. American bias of this institution is staggering.

I love how the writer dismisses the show's viewpoint about PC culture with the argument that they're successful in PC culture. No, prime South Park's bones and gravitas definitely happened before Outrage Culture.

Completely fair. And the fact that WW was only in the "montage" element of the trailer (not even properly highlighted in THAT) was a true misplay on their part.

It's funny, it could be argued if they didn't have faith in the character, they'd just want heavy action pieces all day, and not nuanced character studies and story.

She will. That's why I portrayed it as I did—-Superman Movie I. Batman, the god of superhero movies, glomming onto Superman II. DC trying to catch up to Marvel by bringing Bats & WW & Aqua & Flash & GL & Cyborg to Superman II. The fact that WW emerged as the 3rd prong in this scenario is admirable. Remember, for…

How exactly are you getting that WW is being portrayed as not equal from the footage? They tacked on Bats to the Superman sequel, beefed up the role as co-star (you know Bats, of the box office gold track record), and they're introducing WW for the 1st time on screen.

And for the record, Rush are DEFINITIVELY on record as saying that Yes should've went in before them, absolutely. In fact (this'll make you feel better), they essentially said they were glad punk came along in'77-78, because it made them seem like better players than they actually were.

You're so wrong. I'm not gonna dig up every quote, but I remember distinctly through the years these bands saying they liked Rush, because for the longest time it was seen in the mainstream as some sort of weird guilty pleasure.
