Yep. She still can't sing.

RIP

There is a difference between BEING hardcore, and DOING hardcore (pr0n). Maybe Madonna is just a little confused.

I'm about 2 minutes in. Does this video stop sucking at any point?

Grandma, put down my guitar! BAD!

Dime is rolling in his grave.

I wonder if any of her fans has an inkling of what they were listening to.

6:20?

Please post in thread if someone finds a subset of clip starting at the 6:10 mark.

kthxbye

Control_this: 6:20?

Yeah, sliding that arrow to the right is a lot of work. It's a streaming video, you don't have to wait for a download.

R.A.Danny: I wonder if any of her fans has an inkling of what they were listening to.

Older british women and gay men...that would be a no.

that was actually pretty cool. I'm really sad that I'm saying this about a Madonna video.

R.A.Danny: It's a streaming video, you don't have to wait for a download.

Oh. I forgot. Doing that on my favorite porn site usually crashes the video.

R.A.Danny: I wonder if any of her fans has an inkling of what they were listening to.

If she played close enough to me, for a low enough price, I'd go see her, and I would know that riff.

I would have missed it though, having gone on refreshment break 6:00 prior when the suckfest began.

Madonna's gotten as pathetic as Michael Jackson in her unwillingness to admit that her career is well past its prime, and she has to stop acting like she's Queen of the World. I'm not saying it's over for her, just that things have changed.

Yeah, and Nickelback plays Cowboys From Hell at concerts too. Maybe we can get the trifecta going with a Fall Out Boy cover of F*cking Hostile.

Pantera sucked.

/obligatory
//sad thing though, what happened to their guitarist

I think subby has confused "hard core" with "rode hard and put up wet".

WOW. Is it me or am I right in saying she cant play guitar at all?

Say what you will, she's managed to hang onto a 30-year period of influence without any major scandals, and she still looks pretty good and has a fan following. It's going to take a really good female performer to inherit Madonna's crown, and I'm not sure any of the current crop has a chance.

Just give me 5 minutes alone with her

Is there no standard anymore?

For all of you who don't know what you're listening for, here is the reference song. Not responsible for blown minds, RIP Dime.

Link (pops)

Chariset: without any major scandals

Welcome to Earth.

You_mean_Im_gonna_stay_this_color: WOW. Is it me or am I right in saying she cant play guitar at all?

You are correct.

I'll give her bonus points for playing (badly) a Pantera song though.

/Still can't stand her.

the_cnidarian: Is there no standard anymore?

HA ha ha +1 internets for you

El Freak: I'm about 2 minutes in. Does this video stop sucking at any point?

Yeah, right at the 7:53 mark.

i thought there was no way this was an accurate headline, but my god it was. this will haunt my dreams.

A drop D barre run...hardly any skill at all to this...

/not impressed

Anybody else think that it's just part of her song that they added since she was playing guitar live, and that she has no idea she's ripping off a Pantera tune? Besides me, I mean?

/new life
//(in place of)
///OLD LIFE

you know you would think that after 30 years in the music industry she would move onto writing songs that had a little more subject matter to them.

/oh i know, i'll write another song about boys! woo.
//and no major scandals? wtf?

I doubt that people attending Granny's concert knew who the original performer of that heavy riff was.


/Yeah, put down that guitar, Grandma!

My Review:

The first min or so. a speech.

She starts playing guitar.God, her guitar playing sucks. sounds like some kid at guitar center playing that song. Her tone sucks. It's 'in time' but simply lacks 'awareness' of guitar. No dynamics, no feel, robotic.

Thank God at around 2:30 or so, the other musicians come in and you can't hear parts distinctly anymore. At that point, the song sucks much less.

I've made it to 4:20. It's turned out to be be a decent rock remake of the original. The original is much better though. Wait ... this is just strange. The verses just lag. The chorus works OK though. Boring. It's not really working...

Stupid rant at 5:00 ... oh i'm waiting and my brain is bored ... i'll make stupid noises on my guitar. oh wow a totally retarded pick slide. retarded dancers.

at 6:00 oh good, back to the chorus, the only good part. and the thing that makes it good in the first place is the ABBA sample.

oh boy 6:20 ... lets play a pantera riff!?!?! errr ... that doesn't really follow here ... doesn't make much musical sense ... she is obviously hardcore now.

7:00 stupidly stupid rawk fade ... complete with feedback and spazz drumming

7:30 oh boy! i put my hand up in the air like a real rock star, like Pete Townsend (but with bigger boobs and biceps).

7:51 the song ends.

7:52 ah.... the sound of silence > that stupid song

mysticcat: Just give me 5 minutes alone with her

the_cnidarian: Is there no standard anymore?

i see what both of you did there...

rocinante721: RIP

when i become close to famous, i'm going to change my name to a cheap bag of weed. that way, no matter how good/bad i am at what i do, i'll be sure to succeed based on how easy it is to find favor with all of the drug using, high times reading, anti-establishment contrarian "music" fans out there! Whooo! It's a no-brainer!

I want my 7 minutes and 52 seconds back.

Looked like an open tuning to me.

You might want to actually, like, become a great musician first asshole.

Three of Dimebag's solos from Pantera songs ranked among Guitar World magazine's top 100 of all-time: "Walk" (#57), "Cemetery Gates" (#35), and "Floods" (#15)

He was famous before Dimebag, back when he was "Diamond" in the late 80s-early 90s

Also what Kali-Yuga said

Douche!

Great. I'm sure opinion of the magazine that constantly publishes the tablature for "Gimme Three Steps" and "Nothing Else Matters" is well regarded in the music industry. Hell, Guitar World magazine should probably be the ultimate arbiter of who wins Grammy awards. Chops do not make you a great "musician" they make you a great "player."

Anyway you missed the point ... ever wonder why "Diamond" Darrell changed his nickname?

I think people liked Dime because he was a really nice guy who played guitar really, really well. I am pretty sure that he was nicknamed "Dimebag" because he was a really, really little guy.
Personally, I can't listen to Pantera because the vocals kill it for me.
/Not a stoner.

Best part of that video came at the 7:52 mark

Her guitar player used to play for Prong. I'm guessing that's where she got the idea to jam it out.

/I loved that the crowd went batshiat over that. They were probably just thinking Madonna came up with that all on her own.

Me and Dimebag circa 1991:





/just because
//RIP Dime

Guitar playing aside, has Madonna always sounded so lame, old and white?

jake_lex: Madonna's gotten as pathetic as Michael Jackson in her unwillingness to admit that her career is well past its prime, and she has to stop acting like she's Queen of the World. I'm not saying it's over for her, just that things have changed.


If by "her career is well past its prime", you actually mean she continuously makes new music and sells out concert venues, then yes, it's past prime.

Tony Stark: Guitar playing aside, has Madonna always sounded so lame, old and white?

Yes, its just taken people this long to notice

Mini Ditka: Me and Dimebag circa 1991:

//RIP Dime

Damn, Dimebag WAS tiny.

/another one who likes Pantera's music but hates the vocals

Marisyana:
Damn, Dimebag WAS tiny.

He was tiny, and a lot thinner back then.

/so was I :(
