He does a lot of that kind of stuff with his electronics. I'll have to pick his brain. 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, "Boogie with Stu" would not have worked on a single album but as part of a double LP, it has its charm and place. The whole point of a double album is for a band to spread out and try anything goofiness...the sprawl is part of the fun of the journey. True, but I do not believe those filler tunes were outtakes of prior album sessions. Rather strange experimentations done during the White Album sessions. Boogie with Stu is a fun song with a nice little groove, Revolution #9 is what some self-indulgent 20 year old does on ProTools when he / she / them are bored. Just my opinion, do not mean to offend.

The older I get the more I appreciate that performance. There are songs from each year that I prefer in their live performances. By all the band members. While some may have suffered as the band aged, some songs were performed in my opinion much better. However, hands down the PG is the greatest double album ever. I don’t give a shit what any magazine has to say. It’s not even close. There are some 90’s bands/artists/musicians that had a few good double albums as well. Smashing Pumpkins Melloncolly was a great double album, 2pac All Eyez on me was a great double album. Rancid had a good one as well. And Nine inch Nails also had a great double album in my opinion. Also on a random thought. The word Artist is thrown around way to much. You can be a musician and not be an artist. Playing an instrument does not make you an artist. I can play, and there is no way I consider it Art. And I’m a massive hip hop fan. Huge. And there are some rappers that are without a doubt artists. Then there are predominantly most who are not. I could be wrong and all music is art. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plant77 Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Alright, let’s not talk on the phone in a restaurant. Get off the F&c$ing phone. Or go outside. And please people, stop blowing your nose while seated at your table. That’s a bodily function! Damn it.Go to the bathroom to do that. Have some respect, I don’t want to hear you shooting out snot rockets while I’m trying to eat. I also don’t want to hear you talk to you daughter, or wife, or whoever. None of us do. Have some class for crying out loud! Also, being that I’m in a shitty mood. When you are at the gym, please wipe your station down. I don’t want to feel your sweaty 🥵 back on me. Alright, out of my system. In the words of Jackie Moon “ EVERYONE LOVE EVERYONE”! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jabe Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Fess up. Who still has yesteryear crumbs of doob in their double albums? The perfect vehicle to put in a small pile of weed, tilt at a slight angle, use your preferred pack of rolling papers to guide the seeds to the spine of the album. Now that takes me way back....

Walter Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 15 hours ago, paul carruthers said: ^^ I have to agree--not that I hate the song--but I was trying to imagine Boogie With Stu being on the fourth album & I can't think of anywhere it could fit (imagine it following STH). On PG though, it seems more at home.... Yup, I've tried with my playlists to include Boogie on IV but it doesn't work. Even given it's similarity to RnR, it just doesn't fit. As far as double albums go, I have to agree with Strider in the sense that they allow a band to put out more experimental stuff for their fans - or tell a looong story like The Wall and Tommy do. The best double albums are live albums, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul carruthers Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 I didn't think about live double albums or CDs, but there's a myriad of Rush material I could've picked, like Snakes and Arrows Live or Different Stages... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
