Who pfaffed the pfaff? Who got pfaffed tonight?
Re: The Mighty Musical Observations Thread
I found the new Strokes single to be surprisingly enjoyable. Then I found out Billy Idol/Tony James get cowriting credit because the hook is lifted from "Dancing With Myself". Well, that explains it.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

I guess that's slightly cooler than when they ripped off Sum 41 with You Only Live Once. Does Tom Petty get a co-writing credit on Last Nite?

Enjoyable is a good word to describe it. Perfectly listenable but not something that makes you want to play it again right away.

Re: The Mighty Musical Observations Thread
That track wasn't the only borrow on the new album. This one also sounded familiar and a look at the writing credits confirmed my suspicions.

Re: The Mighty Musical Observations Thread
Yeah I listened to this track and the previous one in the thread. I don't mind steals to be honest but neither of these Strokes tracks are a patch on those they steal from.WestwayKid wrote: ↑14 Apr 2020, 11:26amYup.

I forgot how funny Shred videos are:

Re: The Mighty Musical Observations Thread
This guy takes a usually live video of a band or musician performing and plays what it looks like they are playing on top of it. Started originally as guitar solos but eventually moved to full band ones. Here's a classic one:

Re: The Mighty Musical Observations Thread
So that's a video of EVH, but not the sound of him playing?
