It is hard to compare though. I threw on the Gish CD in my bedroom as I was reading a book yesterday. It had to have been the first time I listened to it in some time, and I forgot how epic some of that shit is. It's hard to fathom that the guy who put out Oh-Jee-La-La is the same guy who penned Bury Me... And that has nothing to do with the stylistic differences, but just the quality in the writing. Billy Corgan really should have retired after Adore... It's a shame how much he's tarnished his legacy with so much complete and utter crap. |

Elphenor I dont understand the Dino Jr. "indie cred" when they play music that's shoegaze integrated into arena rock just like pumpkins Today 06:02 PM Elphenor lots of fuzz lots of pedals Today 06:10 PM Elphenor it's just too hard rock for me Today 06:20 PM Elphenor you established that they are indeed not a shoegaze band I didn't argue that they were my my, you just want it all the ways, don't you?? |

Machina is okay and all, But the downward spiral is clear at that point. It was in full affect on Adore too, but Machina really helped stop any debate as to the decline in material. I know a bunch of us like Machina, but there's really no classic level material on it. Even the "good" songs are quite a fall off from the energy and quality that we were used to .

I can't pick a single favorite Dino Jr track but I Don't Think on Hand It Over never disappoints me, especially then leading into Never Bought It. Amazing flow. <3

2. you are wrong. You may prefer Mascis, but as a guitarist yourself, you should be able to listen to the complexity and variance of what Mascis does in a solo vs. what Bill does in a solo, and even on a bad day, Bill is a far superior player. J Mascis plays a great guitar and I'm not knocking him for it, but all he does is major and pentatonic scales. He can bring serious intensity which is awesome, but from a technical standpoint, Billy Corgan is a much superior musician. It's not even close. And lead guitar aside, Billy also plays a variety of different styles whereas all Dino Jr. songs are essentially cut from the same cloth and dyed different colors. Quote:

They always come to Black Cat in DC. I assumed they were mostly a dingy club band still. The volume is really over the top though. If you see them, wear earplugs, seriously. |

This conversation becomes a really nutty read when you don't know Dinosaur Jr.

tis what this blanket term "alternative rock" comes down to mean in the same way SD is a hard rock album with shoegaze this is actually not a controversial opinion at all, you'll even find some will list Bug as shoegaze itself, I don't agree with that opinion, but it's not that far off |

I cannot hear any shoegaze in Dino Jr at all. It's just hard rock with a lot of fuzz. The only commonality I see here is that they don't move onstage.

Yeah, yeah yeah, I know what you're gonna say.... HE COULD STILL RIP IT ON THE AXE IF HE WANTED TO!!!... Just like "HE COULD STILL SING EMOTIONALLY IF HE WANTED TO"... If I was to listen to someone in this fan-base I'd have to come to the conclusion that Corgan decidedly ditched everything that made him special in favor of sucking... I mean give me a fucking break. As for the grunge thing, you're right Neil Young is definitely the grandfather of the genre, but Dinosaur Jr pasted it all together and then influenced countless bands... Hell, Eddie Vedar came up with his vocal style in a large part from Mascis. Last edited by fuzzyroes : 01-05-2018 at 09:26 PM. |

Just think of it... What awesome guitar work has Corgan recorded in the last 25 years? There's not a whole lot there.... I hear people bring up that Jimmy Page cockery on Song For A Son.... No fucking way that shit's better than Mascis.

I have no idea why Corgan lost his ability to create awesome new guitar work or to sing emotively... I'd reckon it's because he got rich and started living like an entitled yuppie... That's certainly enough to take away the drive of someone who was likely only in it for the fortune in the first place.
