QuoteRoll73 QuoteGlam Descendant >The super deluxe has the two cd's and a DVD - is the DVD the Texas concert? No, that's a separate release. So what's on the 'Super Deluxe' DVD then? Anyone know? I'm guessing it'll be another backslapping making-of album documentary like the Exile one.

QuoteHandova This might seem irrelevant, but what about the actual album? ... Will they just re-release the UMG re-master? ... Or will they offer yet a new re-master to gain even more interest? It might be sacrilegious, but a perfect goal would be to feature the original longer versions replacing the album (shorter) versions. You could always go and play the original release in any incarnatio

QuoteGlam Descendant Lou does an interesting version of "Peggy Sue" on that new Buddy Holly tribute disk btw. I guess I'm the only person that likes THE RAVEN. No, you're not. I think it's very good. Highly underrated. Had he released it in 1993 instead of 2003, it would probably have had a much warmer critical reception. That said, it's a sharp drop from hi

The bit I find hugely amusing about all this is that you have a group of people who've paid £300 to go to Glastonbury, stand in the mud and rain and piss and shit, to tell Bono he should pay his taxes. Meanwhile, Bono's getting paid to be there. Someoneone somewhere's an idiot. And it ain't him.

Quotemarko well Niro haven´t nothing really good in a long long time... True. I think Jackie Brown and CopLand were the last films he was remotely good in. He did deliver a great monologue in Limitless though, which reminded me of what a great actor he used to be before he started doing working for anyone who'd pay him.

Quotedcba "The casting was not the best" Yep imo "De Carpaccio" is one of the most overrated actors around.

Quotetatters Quoteablett Endless Wire was a superb album. Compare it to Bigger Bang! I compared it to Psychoderelict, Pete's worst solo album, which, depressingly enough, is better.

Indeed. I got into him in the mid-80s, when a friend of mine played me the 12" of Space Shuttle. This was about the first and only studio recording Gil had released in five or six years. It's a wonderful song. I went to see him on the Amnesia Express tour and it was pretty bad. Gil was obviously strung out and barely engaged with either the audience or his material. He did pull
