Caves back catalogue is far more enjoyable

unless you don't like Nick Cave.

[Guest]

what's not to like?

[Guest]

one of the songs from Obscured... lovely.

[russycarps]

I've yet to hear or see anything by him that I like. I'm not bothered why

[Guest]

I guess it's just a little too out of your comfort zone

[russycarps]

yep, that must be it. He's much too dangerous for me.

[Guest]

hey it's not a criticism, I understand his music doesn't suit certain ears

Nick Cave makes me feel very comfortable.

[russycarps]

comfort zone though?

[frostypaw]

I hadnt heard it in ages so played it on the way in to work this morning.

It's ok, I really like both parts of perfect sense, but to rank it ahead of all those floyd albums is madness.

Any of you Waters fanboys take issue with the amount of miming he does on current tour? I'd estimate it at around 30/35% of the show.

As regards my own opinion, it was a technical marvel. Waters himself has an engaging and warm stage persona and his back up band (incl Snowy Shite) were proficient.

But the show itself was a impersonal, humourless, souless, warn-out husk. Anti-capitalist/government messages also diluted somewhat by Waters' obsence level of personal wealth.

aye, I had a feeling that would rile you

I'm so riled!

He's not slightest bit dangerous or uncomfortable to me. Does he try to be dangerous, or unnerving, or whatever? He takes himself way too seriously

really? I dont think he does at all! I dont think I'd like him if he did take it all seriously. It's all just theatre isnt it?

his early stuff was "dangerous", as were the early live shows though (not that I went to any sadly)

[russycarps]

I dunno.. it doesn't matter that much. Nick & I don't connect...

fair enough mate, let's just put it down to hair envy and be done with.

I'm suprised though, i thought you'd at least like the band. wonderful musicians and tighter than a gnats chuff

[russycarps]

My boyfriend is the same. He has great taste in music generally speaking but we part company at Nick. Even the live show didn't do it for him. Weird.

I didn't know you two liked Nick Cave. That's a new one on me.

[Zoo Music Girl]

Strange indeed.

Maybe it's just evolution, tony and you're boyfriends ears have not yet caught up with ours.

We should be thankful though, it means we get to see him in small(ish) venues rather than nasty arenas.
