[Will Bozarth]

Wanna know why you're a faggot? Because Anathema will never ever come to the USA

 

[El Diablo Fantastico]

Aww, poor you. Well, they're playing in Mexico sometime soon I think. Surely that's like almost the USA?

 

[MajestikMøøse]

Go listen to This Empty Flow instead you posers

 

[Will Bozarth]

Aww, poor you. Well, they're playing in Mexico sometime soon I think. Surely that's like almost the USA?

when I think of Devy_Metal there is one thing that always comes to mind:

Random Post: Have you guys heard the new CD by __________
Devy_Metal: Van is a better drummer.

edit.....................?

 

[El Diablo Fantastico]

not ALMOST New Jersey enough

Heh, I'm guessing that seeing them in Brasil or Russia would also be out of the question then? Oh well, too bad.

 

[Will Bozarth]

yep

 

[El Diablo Fantastico]

yep

Baaah, you need to go out and explore the world. You're never going to get to see all the bands you want if you're not willing to go to Bumfuck, Nowhereville to see them.

 

[Will Bozarth]

...I flew to Toronto for Green Carnation, Cleveland for Candlemass/Nevermore, Seattle for Nevermore. I don't currently have the funds to go to Europe... but when I do....

 

[EricT]

Will does go to Bumfuck, Nowhereville...

 

[El Diablo Fantastico]

Will does go to Bumfuck, Nowhereville...

Well, that's alright then

I like Bob Dylan, but I think Warren Zevon owns him in every way. The heart wrench present on his death-bed record, The Wind is so beautiful.

Enjoy every sandwich.

I sure am buddy

I like that quote!! Tell me more about this Warren!

(I could read up on him, but I would enjoy your perspective!)

He's a singer-songwriter. He's quite sardonic, but the guy really found it easy to be direct, but never blunt or blatant. Some of his songs just have such a beautiful melancholy edge while some others are just great rock songs that seem very one-dimensional - crude, even, but underneath the layers there was a raw honesty. (Much like Bonny 'Prince' Billy conveys, these days).

The guy loved his life and he tragically died in 2003, I believe he was in his 40s. He wrote and recorded The Wind from his deathbed and it's one of the most touching records I've ever heard. For me, Warren could play the heart shaped harp better than anyone who ever lived.

His back catalogue is an honest chronology of the guys life, it had highs, it had lows and he always knew how to express it, honestly and sometimes hidden in metaphor.

Just before he died (he knew he was dying) he made an appearance on Letterman and when ol' David asked him what were his final words, what he wanted to convey to everyone about life he simply replied "Enjoy every sandwich" and never said another word. I revel in the poetry of something so simple every damn day.

I'll stop being gay now

 

[Chromatose]

ah OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO werewolves of london

I remember when he died. I had just started listening to him a week before.

 

[derek]

Me too!

Werewolves is one of my favourites.

Excitable boy, they all said.

 

[Chromatose]

and then that weekend I was at some guy's house who was obsessed with him. That evening we listened to live recordings and his life was chronicled to me. I was incredibly impressed with what I heard about his attitudes and such. He must've been a great one to be around.

 

[derek]

Yeah. I saw him live one time and the guy seemed most genuine. I mean, every now and again some people just have something, a gravitas, a completely ineffable trait that speaks to folks. Mr Zevon had it,
