aj the beginning sounds very much like wilson phillips...."you're in love" from their debut album
-
for those of us that like to "analyze"...
the answer to your question tony is no, the background vocals on "gatw" have not been minimized. to the contrary, when you see the band in concert you'll probably be amazed at how "full" the songs sound.
jims drums seem like much more of presence than on any of the cds.
likewise, wallys guitar in "i can remember" has more of a GATW feel than the understated guitar on the cd...
the vocals overall sound amazing.
the 'berries are a great "live" band
-
not for me.... it has to do with the fact that "no matter what" sounds like a raspberries tune. always has.....
-
at least under the libs plan tony.....we have money!
king george has a simpler plan, eliminate middle america all together......
-
the "i saw the light" demo, actually has better background vocals imo...
they sound fuller more layered......
mam, you're right about "caasm"getting the berries signed...ienner liked the playfulness of the band at the end of that song....
-
could never listen to him sing because of his half talking singing style, but he did wriite some great tunes. "out in the country" for 3 dog night and "you and me against the world" are two of my favorites.
-
not a big fan of cover cds, but springfield has made some interesting choices for his....takes big b---s (ooopps sorry tony!) to cover lennons imagine.
-
weak.... makes the raspberries reunion look all the more remarkable........
-
early, i'm surprised the gin blossoms dont get more mention here because they wrote some beautiful music 'as long as it matters" is an excellent song.
-
count me in as a sweet fan...
i do remember thinking the lyrics were "cheesy", but i thought the music was strong so it really did'nt matter to me.
for great lyrics i had "boats".........and jackson browne
-
another 2 cents in favor of scott! his "play on" cd is great pop record... maybe they should not only let scott sing his own "play on", but let him do his version of "nobody knows"!
-
tony................might be right?????!!!!!!
-
it is very cool that bruce devotes a minute of his concert to "plug" the greatest pop/rock band ever.
but have any of you noticed that while we HAVE been hearing from bruce lately..... we have NOT been hearing from marvin.....?????come to think of it....i've never seen those two together??????????
this would explain much of marvs behavior!!!!!!!
-
.....and trolly... i knew this girl, who's last name was berry......and she was always getting "razzzzzed" alot.....
coincidence? NO WAY!!!!!!
and then this one time....in band camp........
-
aj and ted... just bought del amitri's best of and it has some great tunes. "not where it's at" is a song i had heard for a few years but had no idea who sang it..... great pop tune...
aj i saw angel and starz at the same concert...even though they had experienced about the same success, angel was the headliner..i think the runaways opened....thats when angel would appear in boxes onstage instead of the usual lights down lights up thing....back then it was so cool!!!!!!!
-
opening for the raspberries is a pretty thankless task as far as this website goes.
lets face it......as nice as the drysdales were (in chicago), after their 2nd song i wanted them off the stage...nothing personal
-
i guess time has not been as kind to some of "our"aging rockers as it has been to our raspberries....
-
bernie, a friend of mine sent me the first four angel cd's recently.... it's a shame they quit when they did because "on earth as it is in heaven","white hot" & "sinful" they seemed to really be perfecting their craft. each of these cds had plenty of potential hits singles....
there was also a semi reunion cd called "in the beginning"..ever heard it?
-
tony, aggiesjc is right, it's an entirely different song live.... you''ll love it!
-
ecstacy has always been one my favs...as far as live goes..every song the guys do has something new, or sounds more like a rock tune... i've got a new appreciation for "dont want to say goodbye" and when they do the am radio simulation thing in "overnight sensation" it'll make the hair on your neck stand up....oh yeah 12 hours is nothing!
-
ooooppppsss.....tony's right about butch walker!
-
argee, good call on greenday...some surprising'berrish moments.
imo, cheap trick comes as close to the berries as anyone, fountains of wayne, rooney also has "that" sound...
-
tony, dont be so quick to dismiss "welcome"...
its a very solid cd... done alot of driving this summer and that cd has found its way into the car player more than a few times... their site mentions that the new cd is not far off.
-
.....tony, tony, tony..
something has gone terribly wrong....get away from your keyboard...go lay down, but before you do put "tonight " in your cd player and push "repeat track only"......
this should cure it....
hope you're feeling better......

dear wind-bag.....uh tony....
blaming 9/11 on slick willie is getting harder and harder to do the more we learn about those tragic events.
if w. (for weak minded) had actually spent some of his first year "AT" the white house???????
