Surely a Pantera beer is just whatever is cheapest at the gas station where your hot cousin works?

Pantera fans can’t drink beer because it’s a violation of their probation so I don’t know who the pantera beer is for. I guess a true fan would drink it anyway and go back to jail.

That's a bit hosed up to assume that all convicted felons are Pantera fans.

Some of them are Five Finger Death Punch fans too.

Exactly. Band beer is ridiculous.

But I better not catch anybody besmirching the good name of Metallica BLACKENED® brand whiskey though.
It's even "sonically enhanced" during its finishing phase by the distillers playing a bunch of Metallica songs at the barrels, which is something the whiskey brand literally advertises that actually, really happens... so you know it's good.

*sipping whiskey and gagging because it's from the batch that had Lulu played at it.

When I was out the other day, I saw a giant truck advertising this - if there's one person I associate with Kentucky Bourbon, it's Bob Dylan.

It seems impossible, but the beer is even better than the band. For sure one of the best band beers and embarrassingly enough I’ve had several. Iron Maiden, deftones, pantera, the sword, Pearl Jam to name a few.
I had the NOFX beer before they got it taken away for saying that the Las Vegas shooting victims deserved it. It wasn't bad!

Rewatching the Rush beer ad I saw on youtube and that is indeed the beer. Pinball tables make more sense to me because of The Who and Tommy making that a thing. Kiss have a well known table too, right?
I played a Tommy machine at the pinball museum in Seattle - it has a special mode where it flips out little covers over the flippers so you can play blind.

Remulak posted:

The Aerosmith table is GREAT, it got me into pinball as an adult. I was bummed when they replaced it with Metallica; playing to Battery is great, but the table wasn’t nearly as interesting.

Next time I’m in NYC I’ve gotta play the one-off A Place To Bury Strangers table that has a smoke machine.
Need to find this machine, it sounds ridiculous.

Why are band beers so popular? Just the licensing money involved, or trying to get a cut of the venue's concessions? Seems a weird thing for so many groups to branch into.

The iron maiden ones I tried were really good and I was dying to get some of the deftones ones just for the cans

i actually really like the you can't fight it/not fade away single, it's too bad that the a-side didn't end up on the first record

e: huh, I actually thought the buddy holly cover was the b-side, I've got the sides backwards - either way, that first single is still pretty good for what it is

Oh god what rubbish that is. Strat blueswank times two, all I remember about Robert Cray is the local DJ spinning a track from his hit album (at the time) Strong Persuader, then pulling it off the air after 30 seconds saying "no, that's awful".


Anyway, the best clip from that David Sanborn show is this one, Pere Ubu guy acting the fool while backed up by Debbie Harry, Sanborn, the Heaven's Gate rollerskate violin guy and god knows who else. Shame Phil Glass didn't throw a few arpeggios in as well.

Is there a monolithic disparaging term for music that's only ever listened to by dudes who play guitar, or wish they played guitar? I'm thinking of every song you only ever see mentioned in a guitar magazine, or forum post, like Hendrix, Clapton, Vai, Satriani, The Weather Report, and modern stuff like Animals as Leaders and Polyphia.

I'd say guitar heroes. That only accounts for guitar, but if we're being honest, that's 90% of them.

I think Clapton and Hendrix also have a grandpa rock fanbase (dad rock is Metallica and Nirvana now), even if they never actually played or wanted to.

I'd like to know this too. I saw Covet live and the audience full of these guys made it my least favourite concert experience. Not because Covet were bad (although, not amazing, tbh) or because it felt dangerous, just because there was an arrogance that led to thoughtless "ironic" moshing and no regard for other members of the crowd.

Music's a diverse thing and it's cool if someone gets joy from banging out power chords they can't name or running the guitar through 90 pedals in weird tunings or playing bleepy bloopy arpeggios on 7 string headless guitars or whatever, but these guys make it feel like a competition.

Eh, my "guitar hero" is the fairly rote J Mascis, but I liked his music as pop music before I liked it as spectacle.

While boomer rock isn't really my thing, I get that there's still songcraft there, and I don't really hear that in the widdly-woo bands.

I saw Covet and the crowd was fine. It was a pretty small show though in WI.

Edit: the actual stupid music poo poo was that it was super depressing how low the turnout was for live music in a pretty prime summer date in a decently large city. It must suck rear end to be a touring musician that’s not huge.

Yeah, I don't blame Covet - I think math-y stuff can walk a thin line, but Covet and a couple of others often veers into mid-west emo territory enough just to be pretty songs. It just felt that every guy who had bought a Rick and Morty shirt and CBD vape, but never deodorant or conditioner was there. This was in Glasgow.

Putting Hendrix, an actual great songwriter, in a list of shred guys is just being silly. Same with Weather Report who don’t even prominently feature guitar.

“Musician’s music” is the catch all in that case. Definitely heard it both positively and negatively. Still wouldn’t put any classic rockers in there because they have much broader appeal (though there was also a time when jazz fusion acts like Weather Report would play huge venues).

you're supposed to think Polyphia is cool because Tim Henson, arguably, looks cool and he says stuff like "THIS PLUGIN FUCKS" so when you hear them and immediately react "this is wedgie music. someone is getting a swirly because of this." the cognitive dissonance is off the charts.

Yeah, if you've ever been in a bass group on Facebook, Jaco gets the same kind of wankery worship that Yngwie or whoever it is nowadays gets with guitarists.

I think musician's music is a good term, but if we're being honest, the complex, difficult technical stuff can usually just be lobbed under prog. Like, I know a guy who was in a prog band, they spent weeks working out a song or passage or something and when they were happy with it, they sat back and listened to it, and decided it sounded like poo poo. But sometimes it seems like that last part is skipped and you get boring prog. Hendrix is definitely a different kind of musician's music though.

Musicians Music initially makes me think of how people heard The Velvet Underground or saw The Sex Pistols and then everyone had to start their own band, but I suppose those people often weren't musicians in the strictest sense. I guess music students music resonates more with me.
