not a question of being able to play, but being able to actually entertain.
MBV can play but they're not really here to entertain as such ie there's no action on stage apart from big screen projections, ie shoegazing.
which doesn't mean they're half a band.



ok baby?

playing includes entertaining. people pay, they want to be entertained. they don't want to stand there just waiting for the show to end.

don't say okay baby like you own me or like you know more than i do. i do not tolerate being belittled especially in such an insulting manner as being called "baby".

J Mascis has the stage energy of a loaf of bread, but that doesn't keep a Dinosaur Jr show from being a hell of a lot of fun.

i think part of the problem is MBV aren't really danceable.

????!

[davenotdead]

good stuff.... not sure about dancing, but i could sway the hell out of myself at an MBV show

they sound amazing live but there's no energy or connection between the band and the audience whatsoever. they don't make you want to get up and dance, you can just sort of stand there placidly and stare up at them...

[king_buzzo]

unofficial though. has been one of the only mbv sites for ages before the reunion.

that's why they're amazing. its like they're just rehearsing in their space and the audience isnt there.

Haha. I sort of wish he would.

KS: "lemme hear yaaaa. Ya'll know the words to this one, this is sooooooon"

Band: Loud musical wall of blurriness

Audience: mass "aaaaaaaaaaeeeeeeeeeeuuuuuuuuuaaaaaeeeeeaaaaaa a"

KS: "I can't hear you Chicagooooo"

Audience: mass "AAAAAAAAAEEEEEEEEEEUUUUUUUUUAAAAAAAAAA"

That'd be crackin if that happened.

I reckon

[davenotdead]
