Set the Ray to Jerry Appreciation Thread - Page 3

werideatdusk · 03-26-2015, 08:14 PM

i always figured it was a live take, but billy claims in the reissue its him on bass, and that james' guitar and billy's singing were overdubbed.
bah humbug

fucking fantastic song and Grox, if you think its unemotional and an awful vocal i have no idea how you got into SP in the first place

Mals Marola · 03-26-2015, 08:17 PM

clearly he is deaf & merely liked their look

good going grox, up until now you just about had everyone fooled

Probably my favorite performance to watch from that era.

Excluding jerry from mcis has to be b0llies greatest blunder.

wtf??? but then mouths of babes, medellia and aeroplane didn't make it too.

they just should have made a quadruple album. with speed and towers of rabble.

sorry I just have a permanent boner for anything mcis.

which would you prefer, Roman crucifixion or Ottoman impalement?

Mals Marola · 03-27-2015, 07:46 AM

keeping jerry off mcis was flood's thing wasn't it
it would have just been replacing ruby, anyway, then people could bitch about that for two decades
by this point you're just detracting from aeroplane, really

FoolofaTook · 03-27-2015, 08:38 AM

why ruby? why not toase or to forgive or lily?

chuckhagel · 03-27-2015, 09:19 AM

You guys are sad fucks for even giving a shit. That was 20 years ago.

FoolofaTook · 03-27-2015, 09:41 AM

yah it's almost as lame as liking mozart. that's some outdated shit.

because ruby was the one that almost didn't make the album itself, from what i understand

well aside from 1979 but that's different

Elphenor · 03-27-2015, 10:19 AM

It should have replaced Beautiful which for sure belonged as a Bside

Ram27 · 03-27-2015, 10:46 AM

We only come out at night is cute but Meladori or Jupiter's or anything else could've happily taken its place

Mals Marola · 03-27-2015, 10:51 AM

thankfully we have our mighty cd-r's to put our qualms to relative ease, no?

Let's be real, TOASE, WOCOAT, Beautiful & Take Me Down should have been replaced by Set the Ray, Cherry, Meladori & Marquis in Spades.

FoolofaTook · 03-27-2015, 05:13 PM

are you fuckers insane? beautiful is an sp classic.

fools.

It's probably a classic skipper for most daily MCIS-listeners.

reprise85 · 03-27-2015, 05:15 PM

TOASE belongs on mcis. i agree with the other three. rotten apples for take me down, set the ray for WOCOAT, and cherry for beautiful.

i really like beautiful, but it doesn't really add anything to the album. by starlight is a much better song and would still be there. i kinda think of them as sister songs or something.

I wouldn't change a thing about Mellon Collie, and The Aeroplane Flies High songs go so well together that I wouldn't change that either.

Ram27 · 03-27-2015, 05:59 PM

Beautiful sounded good live during the pajama shows but other versions kinda suck

you guys are idiots.

beautiful is essential. such a pretty, trippy melody. it's a great fit to by starlight and goodnite. part of that chilled out ending to twilight to starlight.

the creepiness is part of the appeal to me, i love this goddamn song and only just realized it a couple weeks ago.

ilikeplanets · 10-11-2016, 06:05 AM

Beautiful and set the ray are both gold.

You know what I'm talking about.

Six years later: still this.

Mals Marola · 10-11-2016, 11:16 PM

i've had my moments with Beautiful, but Set the Ray is always top tier Pumpkins to me

Definitely, I've always thought this

T&T · 10-12-2016, 02:06 AM

Billy had a hard on for his Beautiful/Ugly pair of song; I'm glad he didn't run with that as one of the main theme for mcis.
I guess he picked the best of the two for the album.

STRTJ probably just didn't make the cut seeing how it was a leftover SD track....

TuralyonW3 · 10-12-2016, 02:08 AM

Ugly would have also been better then Beautiful on MCIS as would several other Aeroplane tracks.

STRJ didn't make the cut cuz Flood didn't like it

Mals Marola · 10-12-2016, 02:10 AM

i've heard it came down to Jerry & Ruby
with Bill being the main advocate for Jerry & the rest of the band + Flood siding with Thru the Eyes

honestly i think they both work pretty well in that spot
