GRANT TAYLOR ON ANTI-HERO

[shark tits]

The thing about Bowie records that no one ever admits is that 1. You probably only own ziggy and low or Aladdin insane. 2. You never listen to them and 3 there's only about 3 good songs on each album.

Who ever said that bullshit about Lou only having one classic album is an idiot. Berlin,new York, Sally can't dance, Coney Island Baby and even metal machine music are all classics to people who listen to Rock music in the non skate video context. People who think the Pixies are a good band love bullshit, like Bowie.  Lou Reed is more culturally relevant and interesting than Bowie could ever hope to be. The best thing Bowie ever did was that duet with Bing Crosby.

Also if you forgot 'pale blue eyes' fuck you. That's one of the most beautiful songs ever written, ever.

YEAH RIGHT!

Lou Reed's only classic album is Transformer, and Bowie is all over that.   Coney Island Baby? Adult Contemporary schlock. Street Hassle, Berlin, etc.all forgettable.  Metal Machine Music is universally regarded as pseudo artistic garbage made by a man who's creative well had truly run dry. The list goes on, he never topped Transformer.  Meanwhile after Hunky Dory, Bowie made Ziggy, then Aladdin Sane, Diamond Dogs,  Low, Heroes, Station to Station, Young Americans, even Let's Dance holds up.

As for cultural relevance...Lou Reed's last work was a T'ai Chi accompaniment and Lulu.  He must have been trolling because you can't get anymore irrelevant than that.  Bowie on the other hand released a good album this year.

Lou Reed has just been a "cool" name to say since VU were overlooked in their time.

WTF is going on in here? I assure you if I ever said Mariano is mediocre, I was joking. I don't remember saying that, but I certainly could have as I am into trolling on facebook. You're going to have to link me the page with the supposed post. I truly don't know where you're getting that from. His skill is and has always been undeniable. I have definitely said that I'm not into his skating though. I don't find Fully Flared and later Mariano visually appealing. Sue me. Other than that, Reagan is 100% right.

Again, Leet, I'm happy you addressed this, and as I specifically stated, I'm happy to take back those sentiments if you're saying you didn't post that comment, or, aren't the facebook profile I posted. On Mariano's facebook page, where he posted he has a new announcement, I scrolled down and found the comment with a profile having all of your pictures (or at least pictures you've posted on Slap that I may have in error attributed to you).

I'll get to Ronald in a hot second.

[close]

No, no, no. That's definitely my account. I just don't remember typing that, although it is something I would say to laugh at the responses. I belong to a troll group on facebook that hits a lot of other pages so it's not outside my character to do so. I was pretty drunk that day. I seriously don't remember that at all, but I'm glad it's there. The responses were great. Some dude wrote a whole paragraph. Are you Chris Brannon? People get mad at the most inconsequential things. If you need to know how I really feel, refer to my first response to you.

You kinda nailed the fact that Bowie writes pop songs but There's nothing challenging about Bowie. If you think Berlin. Is forgettable you either have never heard it, or are not that smart. It's a record that fucks me up. Its a dark complex record about child abuse, messily ending relationships and serious heartache. But yeah whatever 'Lets Dance!' Just because it was more popular on the charts doesn't mean it's better. The fact you call 'Coney Island' adult schlock and mention songs like 'heroes' and 'last dance' without a hint of irony tells me your record collection is probably really really boring.

You can choke on a bag of dicks right now.

Of the three artistS in contention: 1) Bowie. 2) Young. 3) The song "What goes On", simply for its inclusion in Barbarians at the Gate.

I think the trppy-ness of Sister Ray makes it enjoyable to me at times and White light White heat is pretty cool too. Pale Blue Eyes is my personal favorite.

[Ronald Wilson Reagan]

Neither Bowie nor Lou Reed were the greatest ever, though they both had some amazing songs. Both of them produced a lot of garbage too, and both of them are hip names to throw out there so you can pretend like you have good taste in music. Comparing Bowie to Neil Young is a joke, and I don't even really like Neil Young, but I respect him.

You're right, Lou Reed is challenging.  In the worst way possible. "Let me bore you to death, with my NY cool".

He coasted on baby boomer nostalgia, in the same way all those 60's bands did. He's the alternative Eric Clapton.

Again I repeat, T'ai Chi, and Lulu.

Yeah, because Bowie is way better. 

Neil Young, a guy in a flannel singing his "feelings".  He's a good guitar player though.

Do you really want to get into insulting the clothing these guys wear?
I'll take Neil Young singing about "his feelings" and about politics and social issues over David Bowie singing about nothing any day. Please don't tell me Ziggy Stardust the rockstar fighting spiders from mars is a song about anything.

[dillanharp]

David Bowie and Neil Young are so different that I don't even know what you're arguing about.

[ROCKxADIO420]

so grant taylors neil young and dylan reider is bowie? whos lou reed?

[ROCKxADIO420]

wait no dylan is lou reed. alex olson is bowie.

[violentpizza]

Yeah making albums with Metallica is a little weak but how the fuck you gonna make fun of Tai chi?

Plus. You were really reaching there with the Clapton comment, that whole sentence made no sense. Making Metal Machine Music at te height of his commercial success, yeah, really going for nostalgia there.

To all you saying Dylan doesn't fit Anti-hero's image, what about Andrew Allen? He's just as "hip" and "fashion-oriented", especially these days.

Everytime I see him skating it's mostly some dickie-ish chinos and a flannel or a t shirt. Plus he's not a huge douche so there's that

he's not in the same realm as Dylan in terms of fashion, he's more in the Supreme "fashion" camp: highwater dickies, blank t's or hip buttonups, asymmetrical hip haircut. He's just as hip as all those other Supreme dudes

Yeah ok I see what you're saying. It just seems like Dylan doesn't have the AH mindset. But then again maybe that mindset is just a mirage. Idk.
