U2 are corporite shit....thats why theyre so big..they "fit" into so many gendres..but not mine..Larry and Adam were at my wifes 21st birthday party...... BTW i'm not in the U.S...and dont send me any more pm's you idiot...
U2 are savvy enough to play the game a little and do some pop songs like with or WITHOUT you-a pop song that states I cant live WITH you- wow what a pop sellout(sarcasm) so U2 could then make a punk song like desire into a #1 song and The Fly into a #17 song as well as a hit gospel song "When love comes to town"How about you get your head out of your ass and stop being a a I hate all popular band poseur.If it wasnt for U2 you wouldnt even of heard of television in the U.S.
Thanks for the heads up... I'll have to look for those vids. This was easily one of the best shows I have ever seen, and I've seen way too many to count.
No, it wasn't their last gig. In 2011, they did a couple of gigs in Brazil. There are a few videos of these shows on YouTube as a 3-part interview with MTV Brazil. During this interview there was even talk of a new album. Richard Lloyd has left the band though. Jimmy Rip has taken his place.
This may have actually been the last gig they did as Television.. it was supposed to be all the suriving members at this show, but Richard Lloyd ended up in the hospital last minute
Hahahahha. Are you even old enough to be high? Listen to "See No Evil", "Guiding Light", "Friction", "Venus". And if you still feel that way...then you're a Philistine.
fuck the hall of fags who gives a fuck just an excuse for a bunch af old hacks to get pissed on the record /television co's expense account and suck up to some 2 bob legends ,,or in MIke "suckhole" Love's case prove what at total fuckwit you are just have a look at some of the deadshits that have been inducted ...
No need to underplay the Strokes' proclivity for great, affecting music craftmanship because you need to praise a cornerstone. Yes this is great stuff and influenced a lot of good concurrent bands. But so did a lot of other bands (the smiths, blondie, velvet underground, etc.); such influences shaped the direction and means by which a current band like the strokes creates music. You can't compare two generations of sound on the same platform just because u hear similarities
When I first listened to MM, I was indifferent. I listened to it maybe three or four time that year. Then one day, for some strange reason, it was a completely new record to my ears, and I listened to it non-stop for weeks. Now I have all their albums and bootlegs as well as all of Tom Verlaine's stuff. Ha ha. I remember browsing the Television mailing list and a lot of the hardcore fans weren't exactly converts upon first listen either.
I agree. I love both bands, but The Strokes music is more fun and straightforward, while Television songs usually require multiple listens (and weed) to appreciate.

ReplyDeleteNever thought they were all that great. The Cars have this sound down so much better.
ReplyDeletethey influenced the most important influential rock band in Spanish rock history, Soda Stereo, so yeah, I have to agree.

ReplyDeleteWOW, Television is not in the Hall of Fame? They are unbelievably awesome, and you're right about how influential they are too.
