Bob Dylan vs the Butthole Surfers - Page 2

Norma J · 07.03.2006, 10:19 PM

Geez, calm down.

Saturnine: Only like... 33 of them are studio albums, and that's counting a few movie soundtracks he did. Alot of Dylan's catalogue is made up of Live releases, and Best Of's.

Dylan is hardly a 'crappy composer'. Now that's just plain poppycock.

In comparison to Hendrix I think he is.

Incorrect. When it comes to guitar ability, yes, Dylan is indeed inferior. But not songwriting composition. Dylan was Jimi's favourite songwriter/musician. So in a way, you have Dylan to thank for your Jimi admiration.

Anyway. Who cares, really.

SolidZach · 07.03.2006, 10:58 PM

Hendrix is for hippies.

you mean "was a butthole surfer."

hendrix's version fucking blows compared to the original. Dylan is amazing. I cant believe you guys are putting him down. the butthole surfers blow, hendrix can take his retarded classic rock shit and shove it up his ass.

Opinions can't be incorrect.

The arrangement for the Hendrix version is so much better though. I'd say arranging is a big part of composing. There is really nothing impressive to me at all about the arrangements that Dylan composed for the original versions of his songs. I'm not saying he needed full band instrumentation, I'm just saying I didn't find the way he played his chord progressions very powerful- they bore me in comparison to similar artists using the same instrumentation.

I'm not the sort of person that likes my favorite artists influences by default.

krastian · 07.03.2006, 11:51 PM

Bob's lyrics get me right in the gut....as you can see I posted them in all the Dylan polls. That is all, carry on.

I find his acoustic strumming stuff much more interesting and powerful then a boring classic rock song with a lretarded guitar solo that we have to hear on the radio for the next 100 years.

I don't listen to the radio o.0

Everything you say is your opinion, doesn't mean your opinion is correct. Theres always facts. If you say a dog has 6 legs, just because thats what you think, doesn't make it so.

Norma J · 07.04.2006, 12:41 AM

In your opinion, I'm wrong?

luxinterior · 07.04.2006, 12:59 AM

I vote Bob. I get irritated when I talk to people who act like he's the worst singer and guitar player on the face of the earth. In my experience, this usually comes from people who sing and play the guitar as well, but who couldn't compose a decent song or a set of lyrics to save their life. I don't understand why he inspires so much hatred, but whatever.

youthoftomorrow · 07.04.2006, 01:57 AM

Butthole Surfers.

finding nobody · 07.04.2006, 03:33 AM

alot of people dont know that he disguises his voice. listen to the 'nashville skyline' album. he sings sweetly on that one

Bob Dylan

Tokolosh · 07.04.2006, 08:17 AM

Heh! Bobhole Surfers vs Butt Dylan?!?

LittlePuppetBoy · 07.04.2006, 09:05 AM

I agree that comparing Bob Dylan to the Butthole Surfers is the equivalent of comparing bread to slug.

I've tried to find a BHS album in record stores, but the only on I've found was Electriclarry land. I guess I have to do mail order for their early stuff
