I have heard Elton John, he is shocking. It’s not a pile on for me, just very disappointed that he can no longer hold a note.
Aw fck, you just know he’s going to.? He can’t keep his fcking beak out of anything. At least the Replacements left the Trohl hanging backstage in London a few years back..
It's not the subject matter, of course he's not going to be singing about the little red taxi light indicating doors are secured. It's more the morphing into Elvis/a spaghetti western, gun-slingin' cowboy. Liam Gallagher has lived in London for 25 years but he isn't walking around going 'yawight gavna, apples and pears' is he, he's a Manc, and Turner's from Yorkshire. You'd expect him to retain some English lilt at least. I guess that's what Titus means by him being up himself, but I'm just hazarding a guess
It's a performance though isn't it. And it's all a bit tongue in cheek. I'm surprised so many people take em so seriously. You listen to recent interviews and he still retains most of his accent and actually seems sound. Think they deserve massive credit for the way they keep reinventing themselves. Yet to make a bad album in my opinion.
2 bands I've never really felt much for. Never gone out of my way to sit and listen to. But I thought they were excellent. Arctic monkeys and guns n roses Not normally my cup of tea, but I thought they were excellent
Oh definitely. Shades of Scott Walker with the personality, the Elvis gyrating hips, the pointing into the middle distance, the spoken word a la John Cooper Clarke. It's all performative and I get it, I'm just not enamored by it any more. I respect them, especially the thought that goes into the lyrics - Turner has always been a wordsmith, and I've always leaned towards the literary types with music.
I guess the difference is that Liam Gallagher has done nothing of any relevance in the last 25 years.
