(SB Sun) Interesting Dwight Yoakam, Roger Waters, Prince and Fatboy Slim to appear at the same concert venue. One of these things is not like the other. One of these things just doesn't belong. Can you tell which thing is not like the others?   (sbsun.com) divider line 61

Dwight Yoakam, Prince and Fatboy Slim aren't complete and utter assholes?

I'm going to say prince.

Because the others don't suck.

Yes, I said Price sucks - deal with it.

Fatboy Slim?
He's the only one with absolutely no musical talent whatsoever.

Wrong. Roger Waters sucks as well. So does Fatboy Slim. And WTF is a Dwight Yoakam?

The pertinent question is: Are you old enough to remember when Roger Waters, Prince and FBS DIDN'T suck?

Fatboy Slim isn't bad really. He's like the AC DC of the electronic music set. You're supposed to be drunk and rock out with your cock out. It isn't supposed to do anything other than RAWK.

Not my thing, but when you're absolutely shiat-faced...

 
MikoSquiz 2008-04-20 01:38:07 PM  
Dwight Yoakam, because he's not famous?

Roger Waters, because he only thinks he had a solo career?

Prince, because he's a five-foot-nothing JW tranny?

Fatboy Slim, because he's not a musician?

Side note: Dwight was the bad guy in Sling Blade.

Can't wait for this...

I've gone to every day of every Coachella Festival since they started in 1999. Yearly tradition for my brother & I. Plus, this year I've been able to bullshiat my way into a couple of the exclusive parties that magazines throw in the surrounding area during the festival...maybe I'll catch a pic of Paris Hilton railing a line of coke and be able to retire wealthy...

Yes, because everyone knows real music is only made by hitting tubs with sticks or by plucking strings attached to bits of wood.

Your dumbass is showing - you might want to conceal it.

Yoakam's sold several million records, in addition to his acting career.
Fatboy Slim is also known as Norman Cook and was the bass player in the Housemartins in the late '80s.

Prince: He employed Sheila E., I respect his taste, but I am not a fan.
Dwight Yoakum: Seriously under rated guitar player.

Fatboy Slim: One of the few tolerable listens in the genre. Bonus Walken points.

Roger Waters: Is a motherfarker bass player and his composing skills are first rate. If you are a bass player check out some of his lines especially the start of Hey You, Link

 
the_colonel 2008-04-20 09:23:20 PM  
Must be Dwight (Doyle) Yoakum because he doesn't like antiques: "I can't so much as drink a damn glass of water around a midget or a piece of antique furniture."

i really love roger waters and pink floyd. i think i remember dave gilmour implying that he'd played the bass for "hey you." of course, that doesn't mean it's true.

FWIW, i saw roger waters in MSG last year with nick mason, and it was pretty great.

I wouldn't say that -- most folks would probably require more of a sideways move.

I was going to say how many people remember The Housemartins, but let's be honest, how many people even heard them when they were current?

New Age Redneck: Dwight Yoakum: Seriously under rated guitar player.

Well, not so much. That'd be Pete Anderson's guitar parts that you're thinking of most likely. I admit I haven't listened to 'Blame the Vain' though, so I could be wrong.

But Dwight's a good singer and writer.

 
New Age Redneck 2008-04-21 12:49:30 AM  
Oops. X2. I stand corrected.

/the headline sounds like a typical line up on "Night Music" just throw in the Kronos Quartet and of course David, and they could cover a Black Sabbath song.
//I miss that show, just too damn good for TV I guess

 
calang 2008-04-21 12:59:46 AM  
Fatboy Slim because playing on computers doesnt take half the musical talent that Roger Waters has, a quarter of Dwight Yoakam, or cant even stand on the same planet as Prince. When will people grow up and stop trying to pretend electronica is good. For the record dont like Prince, hate country, and never really liked Pink Floyd but I can recognize talent when I hear it.

 
dmax 2008-04-21 01:57:21 AM  
Look at that freakin lineup!

Raconteurs
The National
Bird and the Bee

as well as the obvious stars like Kraftwerk and those other folks.

Wow. I am so bummed that I won't be there.

 
DaveyX 2008-04-21 02:46:43 AM  
Skip them all and see Kraftwerk. I saw them two nights ago here in the Twin Cities. Dropped. My. Jaw.

I know who Fatboy Slim is; I also know he was never any good on the bass and that he makes records on roughly a vJay/eMusic2000 level. The ability to paste two loops together doesn't exactly make you Aphex Twin.

Don't be an idiot. Aphex Twin or Four Tet have more musical ability in their pinky fingers than the average guitar noodler could ever aspire to.

For the record dont like Prince, hate country, and never really liked Pink Floyd but I can recognize talent when I hear it.

But then, I see you've already set sail for fail.
