Elbow

Post by 2+2=5 »

Raine suggested this band called Elbow.... Anyone heard of them? Probably not...
[glow=red]WHOOPA![/glow]


I was then to be part of the mystery,
to love and be loved. Let's just hope that is enough.

Elbow are fucking awesome. Across between Doves and Radiohead, very mellow. Try out Red, Powder Blue, Asleep In The Back, New Born and Scattered Black And Whites.

Another boring band in the vein of Travis and Coldplay. I am through taking chances on U.K. bands, they are so plain and uninteresting for the most part. Oasis are interesting, but their music is still boring...

What is wrong with you people!!?? Just because a song isn't all electric guitars and "DIE DIE DIE" lyrics it doesn't mean it's bad. I'm glad Raine can see sense.

And Newborn is brilliant.

NunoFreak just listens to different music. Some may not like it, like me, but oh well. I have to say Butch Walker was impressively good. I thought it would be metal or would suck or something, and it was really good.
I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.

Butch Walker is pretty good... his music is OK, sounds like Marvelous 3, which is his former band... but his big selling point is his live performance... he is HILARIOUS!!! Ive been to two MAR3 shows and had the best time... if you want to see an entertaining show, go for Butch Walker

Oh well. I just like music with a bit of substance and thought behind it.

So do I, I just feel like not fighting anymore over music. Because if there's one thing that is true on here, some one's opinion is always wrong to some one who thinks he or she is superior.

butch walker and marvelous 3 kick ass!

but yeah, that elbow song 'newborn' really reminds me more of dave matthews than anything else
"Sh*t, id be f*ckin' scared if us were opening for...us"
-Dave Grohl on why the Red Hot Chili Peppers only let the Foos play a 45 minute set when they toured together

"baby, i wish you were my baby,
ill make u make a baby,
let's make electric power,
in fear u should not cower,
cuz girl i will protect u,
i promise not to sex u,
and IiiiiIiiiiIiiiiiiIiiiiiIiiiiii...." - Dudez a Plenti

"all by myself
cause I don’t want to drag you down, hold you down
cause you’re a friend
i blame myself
i guess you think it’s funny now, funny now
it's such a shame..."
-Feeder - Just a Day

I am still awesome.........................................................................................seriously.

That's half the fun though. The feeling of superiority. Muhahaha.

I like Newborn and Red a lot. I used to have Asleep in the Back on my computer, but I didn't like it as much.
Raine suggested them?
boo.
