If given the chance, Sam Bayer will make 8K detail shots of individual pores and his other hobby is zooming in super close on pimples. I’m a little worried how this would turn out Maybe he could be trained out of those bad habits. "The eyes, Sam. Keep it on the eyes." I'd go for 8k detail shots of Billie's eyes. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Dude Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Remember American Edit by Dean Gray? Well, I'm creating something like that. Here's the songs I have made so far: 21 Whatshernames East Basket Nowhere Broken Holiday 21 Guns Up (Linkin Park vocals on this one) Oh Broken Love Still Breathing in the End Shesus of Sheburbia (quiet possibly the most funny and disturbing thing I've ever heard, if I do say so myself) (the cringiest of cringe!) I'll be releasing these on YouTube, in videos where I react to my own creation while unboxing the original albums. I'm telling you, it's cringe beyond cringe. Shesus is the funniest in my opinion, while Still Breathing in the End sounds the most like an insane person DIDN'T create it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little Boy Named Booze Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 A sad and funny news. https://www.facebook.com/CompleteHockeyNews/posts/3540927712700733 Bell Media is dropped TSN 1290 in Winnipeg, TSN 1040 in Vancouver and TSN 1150 in Hamilton this morning with little to no warning, moving away from all sports radio. Vancouver’s cut off mid-broadcast and immediately followed it up by playing Green Day’s Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They gave their employees 30 minutes to clear their belongings before implementing "security procedures". Makes me rethink their dedication to mental health with their hashtag "BellLetsTalk"...

The fact that they put Good Riddance right after they cut them off is like they did that on purpose. ''You have no job anymore guys, I hope you had the time of your life'' Seriously I hate Bell.

As horrible as it is, they did use the song in the manner in which Billie intended, a "fuck you", so at least they got that part correct. I'd really hate to be their PR/comms team right now or any employee for that matter. 8 minutes ago, Beerjeezus said: That’s awful - and it seems all the more inconsiderate when we’re in the middle of a pandemic... Big Corp doesn't care about their employees feelings. I worked for a private company back in 2013. Went to work that day (arrived at 8am), at 3pm I was told - a long with 6 others that our positions were eliminated. The best part, I had just been giving a raise 2 weeks before. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little Boy Named Booze Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 The thing is it's not the first time. Bell cut off 210 employees last week out of nowhere without any warning.

Not saying we’ve got it right, far from it, but you can’t do that to people! There's not really. There is non-discrimination laws for race/gender/health/disabilities, but for free enterprise (private corporations) they can hire/fire/eliminate. I work for a state government agency now, and have certain clauses that protect me a little more (at least 30 days notice of termination) because I am a contracted employee (resign every 12 months), but the private sector is brutal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MillenniumFan Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Today I was listening to the Foo Fighters' excellent studio live performance on SiriusXM and it made me think: As much as I like to complain about Green Day's lack of live material (live EPs/albums or DVDs) in recent years, in many ways we've actually been rather lucky. I say this because with Bullet In A Bible we got a truly great live album that properly incapsulates their live sound. Their performance was top notch, the mixing and mastering is excellent and though (rather annoyingly) slightly incomplete, the setlist is also fairly decent, all things considered. Yes, I'd probably give a kidney for another proper live album, recorded in a club or mid-sized venue and preferably featuring loads of deep cuts (either from the 90s or early 2000s or even later, such as the House Of Blues 2015 performance etc.), but it's still great to have absolutely stunning live recordings of songs like American Idiot, Jesus of Suburbia, Hitchin' A Ride, Holiday, Minority, Basket Case, Brain Stew etc. The reason I also say we're lucky is because many otherwise great live bands have either no live album or some pro-produced material that is either badly mixed, recorded years after the band's peak or just features a very limited/odd selection of songs. The Foo Fighters are a great example of this. Staggeringly, they have no "normal" live album, just an acoustic live album from 2006, as well as two badly/weirdly mixed DVD performances from Hyde Park and Wembley Stadium, none of which fully incapsulate their live sound. Sure, those recordings are still a nice addition to their studio work, but anyone who has every seen the Foo Fighters live knows they'd deserve a proper live album. The mix of the SiriusXM performance from around 5 days ago actually represents the kind of heavy sound/mix that truly makes them shine. Great mix aside, they also sound the best they have in years! But all I can think about while listening to it is: "wow, that sounds really great, so why the hell did they never release a proper live album?" Of course, the other thing I can't help but thinking is "man, I reeeaaally miss live shows!". And I know a lot of you must be feeling similar. So, here's to (hopefully) a better 2021 and let's all hope we can get into the pit again at some point 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had a big dull bit in the middle (as many bands do) and Dave Grohl was not great, lots of shouting more than singing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Just watched this again and remembered how much I love it. Really goes to show that he did give some good performances during FOAM and really seemed to be having a great time. And he looks like dessert here. I love his outfit.
