That is weak, the cinelli ring on the other hand...

.. the cinelli ring on the other hand...

Which other hand?... other finger maybe?

That was 5 years ago, and to be honest they were a great band, put on a great show every time and wrote some of the most creative stuff I've heard in the last 10 years.

test icicles were great live and made a great album, shame they broke up.

I might crack it out this afternoon.

The knee-jerk "...really good live band..." statements get on my tits.

Why, Rich?

i dunno. i guess it is because it is used as a bog-standard comment to say "yeah, i've seen them live"*

hardly anyone says that a band is shit live, because going to watch live music IS good.

*not aimed at anyone in particular

maybe i am just being a wanker.

Nah, I completely agree. It's one step away from saying "I prefer their older stuff".

Test Icicles were great in my opinion. Boa Versus Python or whatever it was called was an ace song.

This can be annoying if its a snide twat looking down their nose at you when they say it but I can think of tons of bands who were better earlier on in their careers but not so many who peeked during the latter half of their history.

And I can think of a tonne of bands who made shitty records but absolutely slayed it live.

^the black crowes

^the max crowes

^ despite the promise they never really delivered

No work ethic was their biggest problem. A little bit of snow and they stayed home in bed..

The black joes: he walks to angels...

A fucking hipster? Yes?
Horrifically talentless musician? Fuck no!

It's more of the Sean Lennon's case. Bit pointless music, but not an ear rape at all.

Perhaps it's bit wrong to presume what kind of music people should stick with, because of their race, but writing and playing ANY kind of live music scores more points in my books than grime rhymes on some overused drum loop.

He's just a kid who does what kids do. With more talent than average silly "OMG! Lolz! Hipster" kid.

Yeah so I'm massively late to this whole thing but dev hynes is an absolutely top class musician. Both his albums are sick and he's also fucking good live.

This is a dreadful arguement.

No, JLS is dreadful. Akon is dreadful.

Nobody who can actually compose and perform a half decent track - be it pop or not - doesn't deserve to be called talentless.

Lightspeed Champion is JLS, is Akon.

Your point about being talentless is fair if there wasn't genuine talent in the world to compare it to. Unfortunately to anyone making music nowadays, if you have ears you'll hear incredible music that made decades ago that was revolutionary, intricate, passionate, sparse, complex, communicative, expressive, honest, sincere, 'rocking', relaxing, depressing, uplifting etc etc etc. The standard is out there, it be nice to hear people trying to do something on a par.

That's all

And what I mean, as long as one know their craft all the judgement is just an opinion. Our opinion.

I can say Rhianna is an utter crap with loadsa autotune, who is where she is, because she was nurtured by a famous rapper being underage herself, but it's just an opinion. Millions of people buy her albums. Sad people.

Rihanna has a great voice, and one day she will be my wife.
