Watch the KROQ Almost Acoustic Christmas Webcast Tonight (Dec 14)

[GirlsAloudFan]

Losing Touch is a good one, yeah. And the really weird lookin guitarist has a cool Gibson Explorer.

 

[bono_212]

oh fuck yeah, he took off the feathers AND Spaceman!

 

[LemonMelon]

Eh.

 

[bono_212]

That man is beautiful, but somebody should tell him he'd sweat a lot less without that stupid jacket on!

Now can we?

 

[LemonMelon]

I dig the bass on this track.

 

[FitzChivalry]

Now can we?

 

[bono_212]

Stop with the jump cuts!

Ashley = owned.

I really do like this track, quite a lot. A catchy melody on Sam's Town? That simply shouldn't be allowed; they're SIRIUS musicians now, after all.

 

[FitzChivalry]

my friend hates this song; she says it sounds like something No Doubt would write. lol

I called it as soon as I saw that stupid skeleton on the stage

I know I've said before that I think I would've liked the song if it hadn't been on Sam's Town, but I'm starting to think even that is not true. I mean otherwise why would I dislike it...now for example?

Because it took a slot away from Read My Mind?


JEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNNNNNYYYYYYYYY

 

[bono_212]

Well Shock and Awe.

I'll be a tad disappointed if they don't play Read My Mind and Mr. Brightside, but over all this has been pretty kick ass, so I won't complain.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Now this is a bass line. It's always been the thing that stood out the most for me on this song. Fuckin kickass bass line.

 

[LemonMelon]

Is it just me, or are the guitars completely buried?

 

[FitzChivalry]

That was fucking awesome!

 

[bono_212]

The bass really didn't feel like it was there as much as it should've, otherwise I enjoyed it.

Is this the song from Spiderman?


ETA: oh wait no, it's that Joy Division song.

 

[u2popmofo]

I still haven't decided if I like, or absolutely hate, this cover.

It's hard to live up to classics.

 

[LemonMelon]

Is this the song from Spiderman?

It's Shadowplay.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

joy division cover!

no way.

 

[bono_212]

I couldn't edit fast enough, stupid firefox.

 

[u2popmofo]

It's a Joy Division cover, 'Shadowplay'. I believe it was recorded for Control.

Yeah it was, and it's on their b-sides album, which is why I couldn't remember what it was, I haven't listened to that in a while.

 

[LemonMelon]

I like this cover. Plenty of bass, which Ian Curtis would have approved of.

Everything is buried behind his voice, or so it seems to me.

 

[LemonMelon]

Will this count as play #85734658763805670835760358760358680750876350876 this week?

 

[u2popmofo]

The problem is that everything great about the original they straight up just copy over, and everything lame and questionable is what they decided to add themselves.

I don't know. I go back and forth on whether I think it's a good cover or not.

What, like the synth-heavy ending? I hated that. And their version doesn't have much atmosphere either.

I'm not entirely sure myself...I guess I just like hearing Joy Division in strange places.
