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.

Re: The Mighty Musical Observations Thread
It's a toss-up whether, amongst Canadian bands, I hate them more than Rush. I'll give Rush modest credit for leaving behind music that apparently generates scholarly interest.WestwayKid wrote: ↑21 Nov 2019, 4:55pmI once said I hated them when we were out with friends and my ex-wife got mad at me because apparently they were the fave band of one of her friends.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑21 Nov 2019, 4:47pmNature's cruelest mistakes.Marky Dread wrote: ↑21 Nov 2019, 4:28pmWho the chuff is that?matedog wrote: ↑21 Nov 2019, 4:25pmFair point.

Don't forget April Wine and Triumph. I have seen both of these bands.
I like to rock.

Re: The Mighty Musical Observations Thread
I actually like BNL just fine. They are just soooo Canadian. Also, weird band to be your favorite.
