Talk about your Super Secret Shows

[kosmo vinyl]

well based on what Mr D. Slappy and others have said it's hardly dino rock, bevis...

[ggw]

If I had the time, I would dig up the post where you said that the best music was made in the 1930s and 1940s.

I stand by that statement.
 
 I also won't be making a tour of nursing homes around the country to seek out the artists who made that music in hopes that they might deliver a live performance for me.

dont forget...J Mascis and his old band are touring this summer/fall, for some REAL Dinosaur rock!

[markie]

Is it just me who does not really like the the super secret band?
 
 Maybe I can start a hipster backlash.

[kosmo vinyl]

yup

[ggw]

I don't think anyone here is traveling to Britain "seeking out" Gang of Four.  They are coming here.
 
 So, if your favorite pre-war artists could still play their music live and came to the area you wouldn't go see them because......??

Because they would be like 90 years old and couldn't possibly recreate the live intensity of the shows they did 70 years ago.
 
    Most, though not all, rock and roll artists just look plain silly trying to be rock stars into their 50's. Country, blues, and jazz can be a lot more forgiving of a performers age, but rock is usually a younger mans game. People on this board always babble on about such and such band had "such energy." Typically people in their 50's and 60's don't have that kind of energy.

I don't think Gang of Four were ever "rock stars."
 
 I've seen a few "elderly" shows that were excellent.  Paul Weller and Mission of Burma spring to mind.  Even the Sex Pistols show was quite entertaining in its campiness.  
 
 Perhaps you take this all too seriously?

Plus Bryan Ferry, David Bowie,that one in the band from Liverpool, John Mellencamp, Springsteen, Fogerty, Neil Young... I will give you that Aerosmith and The Rolling Stones are a bit to much to handle.  And I could give a Rats ass about Clapton...

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

And some people still even go to shows by the Rolling Stones, the Eagles, and Motley Crue.
 
 Perhaps you take me too seriously on this thread. My comments were meant to be light satire....though with an element of personal truth.

Just to add, the original line-up of X was so good last year. The Buzzcocks also were a crowd favorite. So the old boys can still rock it up.
