Subject: Bad Brains...a phenomenon!		REPLY
Best show in 5 years....By miles... Too bad there was'nt any more "musicians" in attendance....The upside? learning that playing 4 completely different styles in one set, is not only NEVER done, but it is'nt a crime...Also playing from a loving heart is reciprocal, and a spiritual experience..The downside?, Well obviously for some in attendance---witnessing the genius and conviction of these four legends, who revolutionized energy rock, and hearing the near perfect sound coming from a 3 piece and singer, can be enough to make alot of these "musically inclined" scumbag "computer composers" want to QUIT MUSIC NOW! If only by some incredible miracle that say...uh.whats..their..........Name....uh.....uh.......OH YA!!!!!Our Lady Peice Of Shit, took to the stage right after the Brains?, It might have been a lesson to the few lugans in the place (who walked in by accident) what greatness is,- opposed to the shit being shovelled down every Canadian's throat, by "MashMusic", and "99.3 the Fucked!" If you have never heard the Bad (soul) Brains, go and get it...now....and give yourself that overdue wake-up call..( you won't hear it on ZZZZZZZ95)..And seriously, rage against the shit machine of what is currently "top 40". Remember, there was a time when "rock" and even "Hip-Hop" was dangerous, and not saturated by carefully marketed scams, and formulated fecal matter...For example..OLP songwriting formula? first...Start with a "sorta lazy hip hop beat, extra loud snare....add Mr Rain in low drawl talkin about a bad either himself, himself, himself, or the retarded kid he watched in grade 8 phys.Ed....build guitars. More Vox..probably by end of second verse, bass is almost audible, and the drummer (playing the only beat he knows), is almost at full volume. Meaning he's breaking a sweat? ha ha ha ..This is where it gets good...IN A FLASH OF BRILLIANCE, the chorus hits and oh my god! this time the singer BELTS OUT A FALSETTO MEWL, that is by now the "signature sound?" Ohhh those haunting choruses... ooohhhhh poor soul, had a bummer in T.O. with his high school homeroom class...EVERY FREAKIN DAY!!!???? Ya poor guy really, he's got soooo much angst huh? uppermiddleclass manky.At any rate. In layman's terms, the structure almost exclusively follows this genius pattern...Intro, Verse,Chorus,Verse,Chorus, BRIDGE (ooooohh) Quiet Verse, Double Chorus, END!..VOILA repeat this formulea on every single song, on every single CD, and you are OLP! I fucking throw feces at them! And anyone who writes like them...And I guess that means I can only feel sorry for the PinkFloyd the Wall faced landfill who love this crap...Which means they probably think I,m an IDIOT! RIGHT ON!!!!!!!! Whew, that was fun... Well I gotta run and do my performance art piece, outside the commercial street liquor store...I'm the one with one shoe, and pissed pants yelling at the busker to "Play SUM C.C.R. buddy!"
