Ive already spoke on this lol

SassyBritches said:

yeah...I was a little like when I just saw them on SNL...


some weird retro disco badly done crap.....

it was like a bee gee's version of a great pink floyd song. how could anyone do that to "comfortably numb" and be rewarded for it?

I dug the first song they performed.

THATS WHAT I SAID
THATS MY F*CKING FAVORITE PINK FLOYD SONG
and they butchured it!

I get what people see in them (there's little to no good pop music out there anymore), but I'm not buying. Good luck to them, though.

Scissor Who?

'dre

Scissor Who?

'dre

yeah, i just can't get into them. which is strange, because they're a superqueer version of two of my favorites (Bowie & Elton) smooshed into each other. just doesn't click with me, though.

Well, you DO love U2 ...

i like U2 a lot. but they aren't near and dear to my heart.

ewwww Pink Floyd SUX! i can't believe there are Prince fans that like Pink Floyd...do u play D&D too??

Pink Floyd does SUCK!

Scissor Sisters did a great cover version...

GrayKing said:

I don't see the Bowie comparisons at all.

you know what, they weren't great on SNL last night, but they were the most competent act i've seen on there this season (with the exception of U2, which i didn't see, but i can assume they kicked requisite ass). the band seemed to be playing their instruments and they seemed to be enjoying the fact that they were performing...which is more than i can say for most of the hacks that have been playing on SNL this season. it made me wish i had tix to see them at the vic tonight here in chicago - my sweetie and i looked to see if there were tix left, but it was all sold out.

I dug it too. I like their sound. They kinda have this vintage, 70's, Elton sound to them. Great fashion sense too! But on SNL the lead singers pants and boots reminded me of P on Ab in 1980!

you mean that is actually a band? I thought it was a cruel joke that they were playing on the world! WOW would off thunk it?

"Electrobix"

I agree the SNL performance wasn't that great, the vocals were pretty muddled, etc. But I do enjoy them quite a bit. Pure fun. Saw them live a few months back, had a great time, and now that they're comin round this way again in January I may go down to see 'em again.

Yeah dude's gear was tripping me out!! :goldpants: :cowboyboots:

The guitar player kinda reminded me of Prince too, I think it had something to do with the pants he had on.

I did give their album a listen once and it didn't really grab me, but after seeing them perform live, I'll have to give it another chance.

Hooboy, they're pretty bad.

SassyBritches said:

I fucking love this cover. It's fun and inventive and I can't get enough of it.

Funny to see so many different opinions. I thought they were great, but that might be because the album is good too. The Floyd cover was odd at first but grew on me and it works. Not sure it came off live though. One wonders if this band will be around for long though. I hope they continue to put out cool stuff in the future. You wouldn't know that 4 of the 5 members were gay though, would you? Except the lead singer is sort of flaming.

"just take me with you...."

Scissor Sisters rock! See them live before you judge them. Very talented bunch - and I'm a musician myself so I'm pretty judgemental.

I saw them at the Albert Hall in London and they pretty much blew me away.

Their SNL performance looked like something I should have liked
but I just kept thinking " This is Crap!"

Don't spend too much time bemoaning the butchering of that there sacred cow.

Apparently having an appreciation for tongue-in-cheek piss takes, poor old Pink Floyd not only officially approved the blasphemous Bee-Gee-ing of 'Numb,' they even requested autographed copies of the single.

What the fuck does Pink Floyd have to do with D&D?? Is this some sort of implication that only geeks like Floyd?? Somehow, I doubt that's the case, since they are widely repected by critics, musicologists and rock fans alike. Dark Side Of The Moon forever holds the record for being on the Billboard charts longer than any other album, so obviously, they appeal to more than just basement-dwelling gamers (and why, in particular, they would appeal to this group is still beyond me).

Floyd is a band that PLENTY of Prince fans like. PF have created some of the best albums in the history of rock.
