uh. isn't satire supposed to be relatively witty/intelligent?

on a side note i love the shoegazer influence on his solo record.

Where exactly are you hearing shoegazer- influences on TFE?
Assuming your defintion of shoegazer relates to bands like MBV, Fieldmice, Ride, Adorable, Swervedriver, Slowdive and the likes...

lets have a looksee:

Billy Corgan (1996):

this is the last song
this is the last song i'll sing for you
this is the last song
this is the last song i can give you


Dave Grohl (some 9 years later):


(This is the last song) This is the last song
(This is the last song) that I will dedicate to you

it seems a bit too close for comfort.

I thought this was some sort of bizarre equation.

You know, The All-American rejects (who coincidently are my favorite band of all time) also have a song called the last song, like OMG!!!1!!!!

Hmm, not really. In my opinion its not fuzzy enough to remember me of shoegazer-stuff. Sure there are several layers of guitar mixed up, but it sounds kinda different to me.

There's a Brian Adams song that reminds me of Disarm. Everything I do (I do it for you) He's all like "I can't teeell you, its not worth dying for", just like "The Killer in meeeeee is the killer in you" Came out in Nov 03'.... Also Cemetary by Silverchair. "I liiiiiiiive in a cemetary" [cue plaintive violins]. Then of course there is plenty of mayonaises floating around.... Also, Until it Sleeps by Metallica and Megalomaniac by Incubus are harsh like BWBW... Furthermore , we all know Billy ripped off Black Sabbath with Siva, though the riff isn't a carbon copy.

i must say, you have one bad ear. i know all the songs youre talking about and youre way off base. holding a note is not ripping off boyo, and tell me which sabbath songs siva "isnt a carbon copy of"?? the only straight sabath rip ive heard in billys songs is the intro riff to tribute to johnny and the first half of the war pigs verse riff.

if i could point to any sabath song for the siva riff i guess i would say tomorrows dream but thats just in air and feel, sort of like the geek into riff is similar to that song in air and feel, but not in the actual riff and notes.

this is MBV appreciation thread btw

in a 1996 issue of Guitar World, Billy said he got his favorite fuzz pedal after a reccommendation from the guy in MBV. That's why you hear a similar sound.

And there's a man named Alan Mulder who happened to be the guitar engineer for both Loveless and Siamese Dream. (Oooh ahh!)

But seriously, Sometimes is way more like Mayonaise in terms of feeling, song structure, and chord voicings.

on a side note (not that comparisons are necessery) sometimes owns disarm anyday. totally. and loveless blows siamese dream or anything else the pumpkins ever did out of the water.

now that ive thought of it i realize that comparisons are pointless, groundless and confusing. i burn with shame but the past cannot be undone. billy ought to write a song about the conflict between my posting actions and my subsequent reflections on my rash and rather retarded uh i've written enough oh well

"you sir are stuck. a wedged bear in a great tightness. in a word, irremovable"

respeckt for the pooh motherfuckers (and piglet too)

I think you are at the wrong message board :rolleyes:

uh i think you failed to notice the "on a side note." that was kind of crucial. see it points out the tangent.
