Many people are saying the Jerry Garcia Band is better than the Grateful Dead. More and more people are saying this, and JGB has been getting attention and has been doing very well.

My question is: How can the Grateful Dead be the Greatest American Rock band if they aren’t even the best American Rock Band with Jerry Garcia?

Nobody makes a similar argument about TAB v. phish.

Therefore, once again, I am correct: Phish is the Greatest American Rock band.

@maxellxlii90 Nobody who spends any serious amount of time really listening to the Dead and JGB actually prefers the latter. I’ve never met a serious fan who holds that opinion. Maybe it’s my bubble?

Old and blazingly white take coming:

Kendrick always had better flow but Drake has producers, pace, and beats to make you run through a brick wall.

Kdot is weirder, which would be a plus in any other genre of music but rap, which I like straight-on, hard, & boom-bap, because I grew up on 90s East Coast rap.

Kendrick is more authentic & angry in these diss tracks. He's vicious, honestly, maybe too much. Drake seems like he's putting on airs (and he is, I mean... DeGrassi).

Kdot is winning.

@mrcompletely That's a fair assessment and I will have a tough time not seeing Drake as the “Ed Sheeran of rap" going forward.

I think this has been fun, but I watch from a distance. Best part has been the immediacy and back-and-forth. 8 songs in a week; that's an album these days. If this thing was contrived in advance (i.e., they end the beef by releasing all the tracks as a joint album or something), it will be very disappointing. Kdot certainly does not need Drake, unless for motivation.

Convince me that this lineup is worth $250

Rosey,
@Rosey@shakedown.social avatar

@brucy @chris The price was $15 and it was 1996 and acoustic looping was sort of new, at least to me. I paid it happily, but it was 2 sets and his soundboard guy sometimes sang backup vocals from the board, if I recall correctly.

#jerrybase is moving to the model that Deadbase used for the Drum and Space section of #gratefuldead shows.

They called it Drumz, we are going to call it "Drums and Space". Same thing though.

If you want to get a preview of what this will look like, we've deployed it to our test site.

https://test.jerrybase.com/songs/1693

Once we get it to the real site we will clean it up a bit, but you get the picture.

Tell me you never really listened to CCR without telling me you never really listened to CCR.

@mielcarz I have an irrational loathing for Phil Collins, Rod Stewart, and CCR. Can’t even explain why, and I recognize there’s a whole lot of worse music out there, but those 3 acts make me want to jump out of my skin.

Thinking about bands that could fill the Sphere AND use it to its full potential, and I keep coming back to Tool being #1 on my wishlist.

@BEK97 @mrcompletely @caravan @justinbruce @chopaganda @jessay @drewphish You guys aren’t giving pop production enough credit. Taylor could sell it out and take over Vegas for 2 months and if she and her team put the effort into it that went into Eras (I just saw the movie, but could tell) she’d kill it.

@mrcompletely @caravan At Jay-Z pre-pandemic. Crowd hyped at ticket time waiting for house lights to dim. Beyoncé walked across the floor of the arena to the VIP near the soundboard. The room went silent in about 5 seconds and stayed silent until she sat down. 15,000 people watching one and she wasn’t near the stage. She was breathtaking. I’ve never seen someone who was not performing command any room the same way and I will never forget it. 15,000 all rendered mute, in a slow motion instant.

@caravan @mrcompletely My wife's oldest friend has been Gloria Estefan’s personal assistant (technically, she's Creative Director at Estefan Enter.) for 20 years. Travels w/ her, etc. She's met EVERYONE (Obamas, popes). Says both Taylor and Beyoncé are among the nicest celebrities, but their lives are very weird. 2nd time they met, Bey remembered my friend’s name and a stupid story about her dog. Bey has someone on staff take notes on her interactions w/ folks and remind her like a President.

Give It Time is the love and light, surrender to the flow, uplifting anthem a certain other hamband songwriter I love has been trying to write for 15 years.

@aburtch I have some theories. But here’s the first thought I had to your inquiry. If you want to write compelling lyrics about surrender, elevating your soul, and a higher power for good, you write a chorus about turning up the song on the radio. It’s poetic but relatable, which makes the tune soulful and authentic. In the alternative, you could take a more direct approach and write Soul Planet.

@aburtch @mrcompletely Trey needs an editor because his ADD is out of control. I get it. I've got that ADD thing too. The good news is he is not paralyzed by his constant thoughts. He's learned to dump them out, but he cannot stop creating long enough to get the distance and perspective necessary to edit.

@mrcompletely @aburtch It’s Beatific but Kerouac isn’t for everyone. And he also needed an editor.

Rosey,
@Rosey@shakedown.social avatar

@mrcompletely @aburtch Kerouac was mind blowing when I was 19, but I’m halfway ashamed to say so was Ayn Rand at the time. I was a kid athlete but I’m glad that sort of lonely selfishness didn’t stick.

Kicked ass and made the guy cry on cross-examination this morning from frustration at me catching him lying repeatedly under oath, which he knows will be fatal to his defense of the case against him.

Normally, making a grown man cry would not please me so, but this cockwobble lied whenever he spoke. Plus he beat his GF until she left the house she owned, then he deeded it to himself and rented it out for a year. I'm getting the house back for her and taking everything else this prick owns.

Headed to that Dead and Brothers lineup tonight.

Rosey,
@Rosey@shakedown.social avatar

This Dead and Bros. Band is, objectively, bad. Absolute crap. Corpses on stage and hired guns reading the lyrics. I’ve wasted a night out and a buzz. The buzz was one I’ve been anticipating so I’m going home to an empty (!) house to play records.

@Stoneycase South Florida gets big nat’l/int’l acts but it isn’t the headiest of spots. Wife out of town on a girl’s trip, kids at grandma’s, had a little bit of fun stashed away… thought I’d take a shot. Missed. Still had fun playing loud records into the night in an empty house.

@mrcompletely @BEK97 @Stoneycase The Tapers Choice LP holds up to the headful test, that’s for sure. Learned that last night.

A very interesting critique of Beyoncé’s new LP by Yasmin Williams. Very much worth a read, no matter your feelings on the album.

@maxellxlii90 @mrcompletely @chopaganda @aburtch @Nolasox How many country songs are there about trucks? I’ve come around on the Lexus line. Beyoncé doesn’t drive a pickup.

I'm not a serious King Crimson fan, in fact hardly at all, but I'd go see this lineup if it was playing nearby, which is isn't, but they're playing just about everywhere else in the US, so here.

Adrian Belew, Tony Levin, Steve Vai, Danny Carey is the lineup. I'm a huge Belew fan, Vai not so much but he can play the Fripp parts, Levin is great, but Tool drummer Carey is the ringer here - a chance to see him (he's insanely good) play non Tool material 👀👀👀

@caravan @mrcompletely This thread inspired me to purchase tickets in Ft. Lauderdale. (Artist presale code is BEATTOUR if anyone is looking). I have listened to King Crimson in advance of Phish Halloween shows (literally only for that reason) and it missed me. But I will see Danny Carey anywhere.

Tried to passively listen to the new #Beyonce album already this morning and it kept grabbing my attention. Beatles and Dolly, smoke breaks with Willie, genre bending but she’s kind of pissed off about it, Miley Cyrus singing about mortality. There’s a lot going on.
