  1. So I found myself thinking as is wont, "what were the boys from peak Genesis up to maybe 45 years ago?" Peter Gabriel was trending toward shorter, radio-friendly songs. He had come up with an idea to do an album without cymbals and see if anyone would notice. During this process, he incorporated Tony Levin's stick and Phil Collins accidentally discovered the drum sound of the 80's - the gated reverb effect. Some of the songs even became minor hits, and laid the groundwork for an ascension to superstardom by 1986. Genesis were trending toward shorter, radio-friendly songs. Still, they released an album in "Duke" which was an artistic progression and underrated in their catalog. Some of the songs even became minor hits, and laid the groundwork for an ascension to superstardom by 1986. Steve Hackett was trending toward shorter, radio-friendly songs. He released perhaps his most accomplished solo album "Defector." He didn't have any songs become even minor hits, and laid the groundwork for continued obscurity by 1986 which he remedied by joining a band called GTR.
  2. This review stuff is ponderous to the point of I'm going to sleep
  3. That wasn't a face mask PF, fans should be more knowledgeable.
  4. Before the auto body shop (and Back In Black) there was this going on up yar in Newcastle Edit: Just have to throw this on. This is what he was doing (for 350 quid) across the street from the audition in London. He was going to pass, but when the jingle offer came in he said, oh what the heck, I'll go meet the Young boys and it'll be quick and I can get back to Newcastle by morning.
  5. Interesting little movie, this
  6. Mustaine was such a factory back then that he pretty much threw off enough riffs to fill his own albums, and a significant portion of Metallica's early ones (check the McGovney tapes : easy tell on who wrote what - Hetfield's riffs tend to return to the open E string, Mustaine's rarely do). And the thing is they werent verse-chorus-lala, it's four or five of the most crushing riffs imaginable per song. The deep cuts on those early Megadeth albums are still unbelievably hard forty years on. And this was really the best lineup with Samuelsson... listen to some of his drum-isolation tracks. He played like nobody else in metal - probably because he was playing jazz. He syncopates over the riff and you don't really notice, but it adds a power to it that other bands didn't have. Even without any other instruments or vocals, you know right where you are in the song because Gar is ALSO playing riff. Almost like Ginger Baker or Phil Ehart of Kansas.
  7. The question I always ask is, "Is Coach __________ better than Mike Tomlin?" because that's the most mid coach I can think of. The Bills mental errors, poor game planning and game management and lack of scheme adjustment are reflective of the coaching. There's some validity to saying the QB makes the coaching looks a lot better than it otherwise would. It's gone on like this for a long time. I've said since before Dick Jauron that the play that most reveals your level of coaching is the screen pass, either executing or defending it. How would people rate the Bills with McDermott on that play?
  8. Only 500 views is criminal. Unreal live performance. Kind of a local Texas group that occupies that Faith No More/Mr Bungle space.
  9. Some old thrashards making a stand lately
  10. I think the Bills as a group let down their MVP, the one guy out there who was dominating and making plays consistently and trying to will his team to victory. I feel for you Deone Walker.
  11. Codrington can get waived right now. With 1:37 left in the game. I don't care.
  12. Only thing left for McGenius is to get Allen dinged here in garbage time
  13. That's the most Jordan Phillipsy play possible
  14. Good job getting out of bounds Algeria
  15. How many tipped passes STILL go right to Falcon? It's unbelievable!
  16. You only need to watch 7 and 5. You never watch 7 and 5.
  17. You never starve if you live near a dumpster
  18. They're rushing 7 and playing man with 0 over? let's run a bunch of 20 yard routes
  19. Ty Johnson can be relied on to run the play exactly where designed, even if it's right into the guard's ass
  20. So you mean to tell me Brady has NOTHING to solve a 5-2-4 scheme
  21. The one guy making plays on D, they take him off the field every 3rd down
