Someone commented “Bring Fazzi and Rubano back and call the band New Again!” and I must say, every variation of that “joke” makes me want to die.
glad they could reconnect i guess, but have absolutely no interest in anything the two of them put out.
two grown professional musicians get together to jam on stuff that sounds like what everyone's local bands played in high school when they wanted to be Taking Back Sunday time is a flat circle or something
this is no shade to Eddie, and maybe an interesting topic to discuss, does he play lead on any of the songs?
Like, I think he was considered lead guitarist when John was there because John focused more on singing and playing. But John did play some of the leads at times anyway. Eddie did play more of the lead stuff, but none of it is that impressive. It’s riffs that work with the songs very well, so I don’t want to totally hate on Eddie or anything. But nothing on TAYF is that brilliant guitar wise. Effective, sure. But nothing to claim as some all time great guitar. TAYF was more about the lyrics and the back and forth vocals. Just another weird thing Mark has said now.
On TAYF, for sure. But I think Fred really took on the lead guitar role and actually had stronger lead parts and solos.
It's very grade school. "Our band is the best band in the whole entire universe, and your band is peepee poopoo! Bleeehhh!!"
you guys are just mad that eddie is better than you at guitar. you don't know why and that's the way it is.
Goddamn it now that song is stuck in my head. Every time I hear that phrase, the chaotic jukebox part of my brain starts cycling through Mark’s shitty song, that Celine song, the Bruce Hornsby song and Tupac’s sample/interpolation of the Bruce Hornsby song.
Yeah when Fred joined, Eddie’s lead parts were relegated to octave countermelodies to what Fred played (e.g. the intro to 180 By Summer, which coincidentally, Eddie wrote along with the bridge/outro)
Not gonna lie, I've been randomly singing to myself "im better than youuuuu" over the past few weeks. It's so bad that its actually catchy.
Yeah I definitely don’t wanna hate on Eddie’s guitar playing because he’s responsible for a lot of their bridges and outros, and he wrote the intro riff to It Doesn’t Feel a Thing Like Falling which, while not complicated to play, is definitely a lot of fun.
