[sdre-l]: another rising tide post

[pooroldluke1]

hey list,

bla bla bla, "rising tide" absolutely freakin' rules, bla bla bla, i'm
sure you all know this already. anyway, i love track 4, "disappear," it's
one of my faves, but did anyone notice how the bridge is the same chords
as the chorus of "learn to fly," by foo fighters? hmmm... if this was
intentional, it would be a very funny tongue-in-cheek nate-bashing. but i
don't think it is. :)

anyway. after listening to "tide" straight through about 5 times so far,
i tried to go back and listen to "diary"... um... it was difficult. i
have to say, i love those songs, they are classics, but now that i've
heard this new mature sunny day -- with great production to boot...
well... i have to say their creativity and songwriting skills have
increased greatly since '93. the last two tracks on diary are the only
ones that i feel really fit with the new sound... speaking of which, why
not play grendel on the tour? yeah, it'd be hard but they could pull it
off, especially with their alleged 3 backup musicians. and it fits so
well with, "tearing in my heart," for example. just my opinion.

anyway, i'm done. thanks to these guys for making such great music to
stand the test of time.

Re: [sdre-l]: will's drumming

[pooroldluke1]

 just to agree (sort of) with the "will's drumming being sub-par" 
comment...  
 i have a friend who is a very good drummer, and he said that he was 
really 
 disappointed when he saw Sunny Day.  He said he was always amazed at 
 the  fills and such on the pink album, but when he saw SDRE live, Will 
 took out all his hard fills.
 
 maybe he's just gotten lazy?

i don't know if it's necessarily that.. i read an interview with the guys
somewhere where they mentioned playing old stuff vs. new stuff at shows.
one of them said that playing the really old stuff was "like covering
your own songs," because they had to go back and try to remember how to
play them, and in some cases re-learn them. sometimes the new product is
quite a bit different from the old, case in point "in circles," off the
sub pop live album. lots of little differences. i don't know. what do you
guys think?
