new Springsteen single
it's also a free download on itunes this week… i do believe.
i'm not impressed. but not every song can be a "Thunder Road." i'm sure he'll turn out a solid album and the tour will be incredible, as usual.
I also DL it FREE from iTunes. Listened to it once. Thought it was sorta whatever. I'll listen again tomorrow.
"I just want to hear some rhythm
I just want to hear some rhythm
I just want to hear some rhythm
I just want to hear some rhythm
This is Radio Nowhere…"
repeat 20,000 times.
How about:
I just want to hear some good lyrics?
or
I just want to hear a strong melody?
or
I just want to hear some that's DIFFERENT than the same grunting, cliched crap you've been producing for over thirty years (with a lame sax solo shoehorned in?)
Christ, that was that dull. I mean, I really HATE Bruce Springsteen and all he stands for so I'm biased. But that's an awful, boring song. THAT'S the first single?! That's going to get all the Viagra-taking, knee-replacing baby boomers to haul their bandanas out of the attic and buy a CD again? Will this album be available only on vinyl and cassette?
Brian
P.S. How much do you want to bet there's an environmental/anti-SUV song on the album?
P.P.S. I'll give him about thirty second of "Rosalita." That song has some witty lyrics.
But then he starts blathering on about "Jack the Rabbit," "Weak Knees Willie," "Sloppy Sue," "Big Bones Billy," "Little Dynamite," and "Little Gun" somewhere in "the swamps of Jersey." My God! Shut up! They're like Sesame Street characters aren't they?

you hate all that he stands for? working class citizens, blue collar workers, and, for lack of a less cliche term, the American dream? That seems to be pretty much what Bruce is all about…
I'm glad I'm not as angry as you seem to be.

For 'werkin mayne' rock, I'll take Earle over Springsteen any day. Even John Mellon Cougarcamp is coming up with better songs than Springsteen

I also hear he farts unemployment checks and pisses Budweiser! Please start a petition to have the United States replace the bald eagle as our national symbol with the ass shot of Springsteen's jeans from the Born in the U.S.A. album cover.

You don't like him….don't listen…easy enough.
Go be angry someplace else.

wonder if this brian wallace character is any relation to that brian walalce fellow that was hanging around these parts a few months ago. both seem to be pretty cranky!
What bands do you like Brian Wallace? Just curious.
P.S. What's up with all the echo-ey effect on the vocal. Very distracting.

I'm curious too, Brian. What could cause such hatred? Are you an ex-fan, troll, communist? As a concert-loving person, what is there not to like about Springsteen?

Originally posted by sweetcell:I wish he would speak up so I can robotically rip what band he mentions. I'd also like to know how old he is. I'm guessing in the 15 - 19 range.

Christ, you guys are worse than Beatles fans. I don't care if someone doesn't like My Chemical Romance. I honestly don't. But if you say you hate Bruce Springsteen, you're labelled a "Communist" and "un-American."
How sad, pathetic, petty and empty your lives must be. "What kind of bands do YOU like, huh? They aren't as AWESOME as BRUCE IS! You must be fifteen years old! You just don't GET BRUCE!"
What's there to get? His music is dull. His lyrics are insipid and everything about him in pandering and fake. The jeans. The bandana. The 42 hour shows. The idiotic, rambling stories about "when I was growing up….in Jersey….my Dad used to make go…to the 7-11…and get him…a…..a….Slurpee!" That stupid "Hey Big Man!" dialogue he has with Clarence Clemmons. It's got nothing to do with exciting, fresh rock music. It's music for middle-aged folks who "want to believe in America again." But they drive SUV's and send their kids to private schools.

Blue collar people drive chevys.
Earle's last two albums have had a couple of good tracks each, but otherwise sucked. Before that though, he was on a huge winning streak.
Springsteen hasn't put out anything worthy of a second listening since Nebraska. Cougarcamp hasn't done anything good in ages, either.

I never even said whether or not I like the boss or not. I could care less whether you like him or not or love fallout boy or whatever lame or great bands you may listen to. It's your robot like contrarian responses that are funny. Dead give away for adolescense (whether or not you are an adolescent or just act like one I don't know).
E Street Band shows should be judged in context. What resonated in 1984 (I mean the production, not the songs which still hold up) won't have the same effect now. Likewise, what you see on TV, or read, doesn't have the same effect as 'the show.' Obviously the modern E Street band has evolved from what you're citing (bandanas etc), and now that they're no longer relevant to the popular zeitgeist they have the luxury of just doing their thing. I think the E Street Band's DVD released last year or so from the 1975 Born To Run show in England is an excellent representation of what makes them great - before many of the machinations became cliche.
U2 is similar. For example, the Zoo Tv show at RFK may have been the best concert I've ever been to. But watching the DVD now, the whole thing looks retarded. Things get lost in translation over time.
And on that note, you're going to have a lot of trouble convincing people ten years from now that MCR and FOB weren't jokes. You'll be like a Creed or Limp Bizkit fan is today.
