  1. This was their standard goof before the encore on their 2011 tour. Often Hawkins would ramp the song total up to 6 or 7 before they came back out.
  2. What a gut punch. Taylor was goofy, amiable, hilarious, cool as hell, grounded, and talented beyond measure. The back and forth he had with Dave Grohl on stage and backstage was sublime, both musically and in their goofing around for the crowd and camera. It made you happy to be a part of their scene.
  3. Fuck yes, and Strays was a great album as well.
  4. The story goes something like this: Journalist interviewing AC/DC: "How do you respond to critics that say you've basically released the same album 4 times in a row?" AC/DC: "I think we're up to 7 at this point."
  5. That counselor sounds like a complete dipshit. DMB at their very highest peak has never come within 1000 miles of what ACDC did in this one show, not to mention all of the songs, albums, and shows over the past 5 decades.
  6. For Those About to Rock has aged very well. Like Spackler I lean heavily towards the Bon era, with Powerage and HIH my two faves in the entire ACDC catalog, but both eras have lots of ammo.
  7. Yeah, but I do love the production value. In a sea of black, his sound is unique. I still dig him. That Jungle Rot song is great. Thanks for posting it.
  8. Whoa, gnarly!
  9. Agreed. Their run between With the Beatles through Let it Be is only tarnished by the orchestral b-side of the Yellow Submarine LP. Otherwise, aside from a few lame covers and misses here and there (I mean let's be honest, there's strong evidence of smelling their own farts on a few White Album tracks), their output was so damn solid. My 2022 goal is to play every guitar part (rhythm, lead, riffs, solos, whatever) on every Beatles song, in chronological order of release. I'm glad I'm doing it, because I can better understand how every release shows their growth, complexity, originality, and innovation compared to the previous ones. Chord progressions, song structures, guitar work, instrumentation, pacing -- it's really remarkable how fast they progressed and kept upping the quality. Day Tripper and A Day in the Life were written about 18 months apart, but it seems like different decades.
  10. I was at that Cult / GnR show too. Stood behind a filthy Axl Rose in line for drinks. Crazy to look back on that show. I still love Love and Electric, but Sonic Temple was a disappointment to me. It took away their gritty sleaze and produced them into mainstream airplay.
  11. That's a tough one. Summer Days (and Summer Nights!), Pet Sounds, and Smile would definitely count IMO. But the problem is that Wilson's vision for Smile wasn't released until 2011, after decades of crap releases. Smiley Smile came out after Pet Sounds, but it was only partially ready with a bunch of half-finished stuff in it. So even though the songs were written after Pet Sounds, the actual Smile album didn't come out in true form for several decades.
  12. I would easily throw Budokan in there between 3-4 as well, as it somehow made the material from their first 3 albums even better. And I know I'm a CT apologist but I'd say All Shook Up and One on One were also solid start to finish. But that initial 5-LP run including Budokan is unreal.
  13. OSU sounds like a cesspool.
  14. Grapes of Wrath is a such a great movie. Instantly transports you to that terrible time in our country's history and the grit it took to get through it.
  15. Ramey is a first-rate guard defender. As someone upthread said, we didn't have anyone inside that could neutralize them.
  16. that's the most egregious thing. 46 is bananas, but a 34 FT difference is just absurd.
  17. Disappointing end to the season, but we were overmatched and it played out that way. Thanks to Beard and the dudes that bought in for taking us to our first tourney victory in years. Future is bright.
  18. Ivey has ice water. No shame in losing to that shot.
  19. that's going to Purdue.
  20. Bishop was out. Let's go boys. Defense.
  21. Gene is both blind AND regarded. Got it.
  22. haha #5 touched it last, with his fucking dumb face
