Peter Gabriel is a genius. he has consistently produced amazing music. If you haven't listened to his work with Genesis do so. It is amazing music, Foxtrot and selling England by the Pound are works of art.
I saw his first live show after leaving Genesis, it was one of the best live shows i have seen.


He was quite the visual artist for a while there, too.

This live show is one of my favorite albums. *quality.

Also, whenever I listen to Portishead in the office, I end up singing out load "I just wanna be a wooamannnnn" and people look at me funny. Always cracks me up.

Yea their most famous song was "short dick man"
they played the edited version like back in 92, or 93 on mtv when they did those huge spring break live shows


Nice, @shang, you can read! That's in the description up there under the video. A+ in reading today. Short Dick Man was indeed another hit of theirs.

That was the first Graham Norton clip that didn't have anything to do with the guests... missed opportunities I'd say.


I agree.

"Hey let's make a show where I read things from the internet and you guys just sit there and awkwardly laugh even though you're all actual comedians in person on a live show."

I'm here all week! see my live show.

Hells yeah! Maiden are awesome. I've seen them 3 times and no-one does a better live show.

Full on, foot-on-the-monitor, epic rocking!!

It's because they aren't synthed to shit and back. They play their own instruments. They do awesome live shows where they aren't lip synching their own songs. They don't depend on drama or sex to peddle their music. They make good music videos. They're a good band. That transends the spirituality/christian theme 'downsides' that an athiest may have for bands in general.

I'm surprised that atheists enjoy them, considering the explicitly spiritual and christian themes interwoven into their music



Also, they're not preaching.

Copyright infringement is copyright infringement. As you pointed out, it doesn't easily equate. How you turn "not really the same" into "basically the same" is logic that I can't follow. It certainly overlaps with theft, and fraud, it's not black and white. However, technically, they are different crimes.

It's certainly neither legally nor morally justified. We'll never agree on where this conscience came from (God given or evolved from pack instincts) but I'm not arguing that it's not wrong.

All this has zero effect on reducing piracy. In the long, long term content producers will have to adapt, for example music album releases becoming promotion for profitable live shows and tours, which can't be stolen or pirated as they are about the experience of being there. Naturally, this won't happen quickly and there are a lot of people making a lot of money from 20th century content business models and of course they're going to drag their feet.

and,.... they kick ass live. There is nothing worse than a band that can't put on a good live show.

Yeah, there's a behind the scenes video of this where you can see him using the pedal here. I agree is still amazing though.
>> ^SpeveO:
He's not simulating the distortion, he's using a distortion pedal. You see it more clearly in his live show, but even in this video you can see him turn it on. Still pretty amazing though.
>> ^FlowersInHisHair:
Forget the beatboxing, the overdrive guitar is amazing. I've never heard anyone vocally simulate that sound before. In. Cred. I. Ble.




Nice find. That is a bit disappointing.

Actually, I'm sorta disappointed to learn that.
