encores are stupid

demonrail is the new Q magazine.

Yeah encores are pretty pointless. I love the extra songs but all that waiting for what we know is going to happen is stupid. Just add them on to the regular set, please.

Hey, hey, now. Now.

Grant Hart wrote the best song ever.

bands who start out as 3 or 4 pieces and add 20 touring members to "enhance" their live sound.

i'll admit that when talking heads expanded thier lineup in the 80's it was cool, but it was also needed because their sound had changed so much since '77.

when they do it just for the sake of showmanship and theatrics it's kind of
ridiculous.

The Grateful Dead, end of story.

The impossiblility of listening to a Rap album in the 90s that didn''t have a track dedicated to the rapper's 'moms'.

That sense of defeat when buying a punk album, then turning it over to find these awful words ... "keyboards by..."

Bands that end a show thus:

demonrail666 · 07.28.2007, 10:16 PM

Sepultura's Roots album is brilliant. However, it's guaranteed that any band claiming to have been been influenced by it are gonna be fucking awful.

demonrail666 · 07.28.2007, 10:23 PM

The rise of a type of Rock fan that's more at home on Dr Phil than they are at a show.

demonrail666 · 07.28.2007, 10:39 PM

Chubby Rock.

Until the 90s, Rock was played almost exclusively by anorexic blokes with dodgy teeth. Since then has come the rise of the Super-Size-Me Rock band. Which is potentially sort of good for me, but otherwise VERY bad. Crowbar are brilliant though, I have to admit. Especially in a tug-o-war situation.

Mostly everything the Flaming Lips do on stage now. Not really done by other bands but still annoying.

Even in that picture, the keytar is successful at sucking out any sexiness of the player/band.

Bullshit, mate. Have you seen them live? Great atmosphere.

That's kinda true. haha. Most bands claiming to be influenced by said album tend to be that ghastly nu-metal. How come? I don't know. Must be the sludgy, tuned down guitars.

The never-ending roll-call of 'serious'/'indie' rock outfits doing 'ironic' cover versions of Britney/Kylie/Beyonce/Madonna etc tunes. It's like they're trying to tell us "Although we're solemn hetero types, we're really in touch with our inner disco queen side". Fuck OFF.

Norma J · 07.29.2007, 01:56 AM

No, that's the old "I'm so cool I can do anything and it'll be cool" thing. Cool to be uncool, ya know.

And what's more ironic is that the covers aren't ironic.
