Random Music Talk LII: No Cobbler, No Cry

[iron yuppie]

It must be that one damn song with the piano arpeggios, right? I can't remember the name of it.

 

[LemonMelon]

Are there others?

I don't have any problem with the song, actually, it was just hilarious to hear it at the gym.......after Clocks. Worst gym radio ever. I listened to a Budgie album, as well as some Black Sabbath and Fucked Up, but couldn't block it out completely.

 

[cobl04]

I loved that song. But yeah, not a gym tune. But still better than Hey Soul Sister and I'm Yours, which they thrashed at mine before I got lazy.

They also used to thrash Under the God by Tin Machine

Blue Collar Man was blasting at my gym Friday morning at 5:30.

 

[iron yuppie]

Gym music can really influence the workout. I'll never forget one school gym that I used to frequent. It played Red Hot Chili Peppers constantly - and I mean constantly, like once every four or five songs. I thought RHCP were alright before that, but now I absolutely despise them on account of that gym.

 

[cobl04]

That reminds me of a song they thrashed at mine that I can't recall. The verses sounded a lot like early to Blood Sugar era RHCP, replete with Flea-lite bass. Then it gives way to a hideous chorus that retains none of the chorus music, with a line something like "you are the ?? but you can't hide it". It's also got a really bad video, 80s like, with bolts of lightning and shit. Singer even kind of looks like Kiedis, iirc. Anyone know it?

From that description, it sounds like it'd be this:

I've never been to a exercise gym like the kind you guys are talking about. Only experience with gym of any sort I've had was when I was in school. So I've been fortunate enough to miss out on that whole experience of weird exercise music.

I wonder what Antoine Dodson is up to now.

 

[Danny Boy]

Yeah, has to be Faith No More from your description. Sadly, that was the best song they had.

I saw them open for Metallica/GNR in the early 90's. I think they played that song 3 times before getting booed off stage.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

From that description, it sounds like it'd be this:

that is legit one of the worst songs i've ever heard. i hate it.

i also didn't know every freaking person here went to the gym.

 

[Danny Boy]

I was at the gym for over an hour this morning, and I don't recall a single song they played. It's usually adult contemporary stuff.

 

[Moonlit_Angel]

I saw them open for Metallica/GNR in the early 90's. I think they played that song 3 times before getting booed off stage.

Yikes. 3 times in one show?

I know that song, their cover of the Commodores' "Easy", and "Falling To Pieces". And that's about it. "Epic" is all right, but yeah, if I had to hear it repeatedly like that, I'd probably really wind up hating it to no end.

 

[cobl04]

That's the one. Worse than any Nickelback song I've heard.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

this also reminded me, i'm pretty sure that several years ago, some guy got into an argument with me when i dared to say that band was a one hit wonder.

 

[Danny Boy]

Well, I wouldn't have been able to name another song of theirs, for sure.

 

[bono_212]

Yeah, the gym was fucking pissing me off tonight. I was trying to listen to "Brothersport" and it mixed with fucking Vanessa Carlton was just not working. I may write an angry e-mail.

I wonder what Antoine Dodson is up to now.

Last I heard, doing shit for charity. I should look into this.

[Jive Turkey]

[bono_212]

[Jive Turkey]

I'm getting the fuck out of here. I hope this isn't the shit imps and Phils tolerate weekly

 

[cobl04]

Oh fuck. All the flat brims just jumped on stage

I'm at a bar I don't want to be at and theyre playing Pon Di Floor. What the fuck

Sounds a lot like the club I go to every week.

I love Pon de Floor.

 

[PhilsFan]

I'm getting the fuck out of here. I hope this isn't the shit imps and Phils tolerate weekly

it is.

[Jive Turkey]

It seemed like a college bar. It was horrifying for me

 

[Jive Turkey]

Cobbler, bend your fucking Atlanta cap brim

 

[IWasBored]

i'll take pretty much any mike patton project over kanye any day. well, maybe not the spaghetti western orchestra stuff. but definitely faith no more, especially angel dust because that album kicks ass (and epic wasn't on it).

 

[cobl04]

Cobbler, bend your fucking Atlanta cap brim

I won't look as cool if I do

 

[IWasBored]

I won't look like a tool if I do
