Was rockin out to this earlier *quality jam

When they jammed it out on stage, I doubt it was as succinct as radio / record version. But a lot of great songs tend to be written(or should I say discovered) in this kind of instant form, all of a sudden something just clicks, and it just feels natural, it's almost a subconscious processes. Especially if you've been jamming with people for a while, then you're all on the same wavelength, or same drugs as I'm sure anyone from the 60s will tell you.

Many bands most popular songs start off as a joke, such as Nirvana's Smells Like Teens Spirit, or Primus' Shakehands with Beef. Which is why you get a lot of one hit wonders. They've had their light bulb moments, but nobody really knows how it happens, so it can't be reproduced. (not to say that Nirvana or Primus are one hit wonders by any means).

I see parallels with song writing and inventing or engineering. A lot of the greatest inventions were eureka moments while most of the others were just plain old hard work by dedicated engineers. But it's usually the eureka moments that change the course of history.

That was awesome.

The origin of a riff being "accidental" doesn't seem unusual -- people come up with riffs that get turned into earworm songs while just jamming / screwing around all the time.

But having the combination of sudden inspiration and accidental creation of the riff immediately followed by impromptu creation of the lyrics is really really cool.

Awesome sift, thanks!

Care to come jam in Joe's Garage?

I believe this is his full-time jam now. He hasn't monetize the YT videos but he has a Patreon page (https://www.patreon.com/user?u=2945881, which could probably do with being linked in the description here) that says he gets $3,773 for each video he makes. If he makes one a month that's a decent living. It's at least probably enough to support him with food and housing, and if living in the wilderness and building things with bark and mud is what he spends his money on, well, he's golden.

Looks like that didn't work. This is a *quality jam before gangsta shit took over.

There's something deeply right about Rob Halford jamming with Babymetal.

Also say what you want about them, but that backing band's got some serious chops.

Well-known Tofflerisms:

-It is better to err on the side of daring than the side of caution.
-Parenthood remains the greatest single preserve of the amateur.

Damn, haven't jammed some Fugazi in a while.

Been jamming NOFX for over 20 years now, yeah, I'm old. Check out Crass, Propaghandhi, and of course Bad Religion if you haven't already.

Congrats ropo! No one is more deserving. A cornerstone of the sift for sure and just a great guy. Thanks for being a great sifter and someone who has made my time here really enjoyable. You're truly one of the good ones
