| Changes in my life... |
Hmmm, this is an interesting one. It's as if as you get older your changing your tastes and developing more musical appreciations but dont want to let go of the band that helped you and supported you through your youth.
If it helps, for me it was a similar thing as I got into the band after they had broken up and listening to them constantly helped me through my college years and make me the sort of person I am. When they finally reunited and I got to finally see them it was like closure, as if I could finally move on and try other things. And I did, but I found myself eventually coming back to the band and appreciating them in other ways. I dont particularly care for much of the new stuff but I still find the older music helping me in certain situations.
So my advice would be to go ahead and experience other music or whatever, and see if you come back to the pumpkins music. It may remain like a nostalgia trip because they surrounded a lot of your youthful life moments but it may also inspire you for newer things. .... So basically my idea was to carry on where yor going and just see what happens, if thats worthwhile advice or not?? hahaha |
| Zeitgeist...is this really SP??? |
Zeitgeist is definately missing something. Go listen to some of the final tour (2000) bootlegs and you'll see what i mean. People say that zeitgeist sounds different because all the albums sound different, but they had a consistenct in the very soul of the work thats just not there any more. I think zeitgeist is good but its still the worst thing billy has done - his solo album was much better, and your right on the whole billy wants to rock and so all his new songs are really heavy but devoid of meaning - superchrist anyone???? im gonna hold my opinions back though until the next album/sound to see if they're really gone or just going through a transistory period. |
| Cover Song - To Sheila (feral1975) |
Nice one - you did a good job of one of my fave songs. The tamborine's a good touch, but may I suggest having quieter chords on the chorus as they seem a bit overpowering. with love... |
| Music - Zwan - Spun Soundtrack |
This is great. Thanks a million.
Quick question: who sings on love to love? Cheers |
| Cover Song - Shame (forva) |
Shame approves. Well done |
