And how do they know that before they've experimented?

It's not a great album but it's far from bad.

For people who think if you take away Dylan's lyrics you don't have much left have you heard some of his Blonde on Blonde/Highway 61 Revisited stuff? I imagine you have since they're probably two of his most acclaimed albums ever. He wrote some god awful lyrics on some of the songs, take Ballad of a Thin Man for instance.

Oh and Johnny Marr is a much bigger twat than Morrissey. At least when you pay to see Morrissey perform he doesn't go up on stage and insult you.

And some of his best music as well.

Ooo, when did Marr insult people?

Last night when I went to see Modest Mouse. He was just the biggest prick at the concert and insulting the crowd the whole time. If he wasn't in such good bands I'd feed his family to bears.

Oh dears, what sort of things was he saying? Morrissey has been known to pick on people in the crowds but i think its always tongue in cheek.
Good gig?

Nah, he called us all ****** losers.

The gig was one of the best I'd been to in awhile The National/Modest Mouse/REM all we're amazing I think it's the most consistent gig I've been to. Marr just made comments about 'rather be in America (the show was in Vancouver, Canada)' and just acting like a prick towards the crowd with his generic random name-calling. He has a pretty bad personality.

Anyway reading the last few pages of this thread we're like slamming my head into a window on purpose.

Every time I hear the Beatles cover Motown I think "oh lord, Karoke is revenge for WWII" The Beatles wee talented but they couldn't feel the music and John Lennon was just about the most soulless writer out there. Its not bad music it just don't hit you somewhere deeper and his solo work was even worse which leads me to believe someone in the Beatles was pulling the weight (I suspect Harrison.)

I pretty much hate it whenever someone uses words like "they didn't feel the music". It makes me want to punch somebody. Because its pretentious bullcrap.

Uh, it doesn't matter if they knew, the results are what counts. I'm not saying it was a bad idea, just the end result wasn't up to snuff. It's not bad, never said it was, in fact I think it gets an unfair amount of flak, it's just as good as their other work.

What in the hell are you talking about? Everyone has heard those albums, those are always the first albums people start with when trying to get into Dylan.

I do like Highway 61 Revisited and Blood on the Tracks alright, but I think they are incredibly overrated. And Blonde and Blonde just bored me to death.

Yeah, Morrissey prefers to insult people behind their back
