Yeah, that's his nickname: The Edge. I used to think names like "The Edge" or "Spike" were cool, but then I turned 12.

The only way I could ever respect him is if he shouted some stupid catch phrase before every concert like "WATCH OUT! THE EDGE WILL CUT YOU!"

i dont like live music either, op

local bands can be real hard to watch because their sound isn't mixed well and the venue is usually a shitshow acoustically

yeah live music sucks sometimes

also I have zero comprehension of why people record live music and put it on services like Pandora, the idea that someone would prefer that rendition to a studio version is just completely beyond me

some bands can actually play their instruments well (or at least decently) and can put on good live shows. so the question becomes: why wouldn't you want to hear a quality recording of a good live show, where the band was having a good time and playing their songs differently or whatever?

its just laziness/budget issues on the bands part cause zappa figured out some black magic in the 70s to make live albums sound like perfect studio sessions

there is no reason to listen to the '80s king crimson albums after discipline because the live performances on absent lovers are like 1000x better

Video Stymie

I heard all the cool music reviewers diss this album so I figured it was either a) really bad or b) one of those things that will be super popular like Celine Dion where its so popular that its too embarrassing to admit you like it.

there was no video in it so i didn't even experience it beep bop imma computah

leather pants is a whole new level of horrible though unless you're rob halford, and managed to create a whole generation of homophobic metalheads to love the gayest man.
