The Gaslight Anthem Band • Page 52

American Slang makes me want to play the fiddle.

Not a criticism or praise. Just stating a fact.

 

I would say that's some damn fine praise

 

I'da Called You Woody Joe

Keepsake

Meet Me By the River's Edge

Miles Davis & The Cool

Mulholland Drive

 

I think American Slang is my favorite, I just really dislike the production on it. I wish it sounded like Handwritten or Get Hurt

 

Good morning all, sorry for ghosting on you. Here are the score updates. The next phase of matches in this round will be posted shortly....

I Could'a Been a Contender (17) vs. I'da Called You Woody Joe (10)

Keepsake (6) vs. Mae (21)

Mama's Boys (3) vs. Meet Me By the River's Edge (24)

Miles Davis & The Cool (24) vs. Misery (3)

Mulholland Drive (17) vs. National Anthem (10)

 

Kinda surprised Mams's Boys didn't get more votes, Im always seeing people talk about that song in here

 

Okay, it seems the counts have stopped coming in. Thanks for your votes everyone! This means that...

I Could'a Been a Contender
Mae
Meet Me By the River's Edge
Miles Davis & The Cool
and Mulholland Drive will advance to Round 2

HOWEVER we are still in Round 1. The next phase of matches will be:

Old Haunts vs. Old White Lincoln

Orphans vs. Red at Night

Red in the Morning vs. Red Violins

Rollin' and Tumblin' vs. Say I Won't (Recognize)

Selected Poems vs. Senor & The Queen
GO!!!!

 

i actually think i would like A/S less if it had that production or sound haha

i love it just the way it is

 

I would've voted for it if the rules allowed. I love that song so much. Buuuut at the same time it did go against Meet Me By the River's Edge which is also amazing. That would've been the hardest match for me

 

Old White Lincoln (tough match)
Orphans
Red in the Morning
Say I Won't (Recognize)
Senor & The Queen

EDIT: changing vote from Red at Night to Orphans, I hope I did it fast enough but if not its OK i guesss

I completely mixed up which songs were which haha

 

Yeah I voted for River's Edge haha

 

Old White Lincoln

Orphans

Red Violins

Rollin' and Tumblin'

Senor & The Queen

 

Old Haunts

Red at Night

Red in the Morning

Say I Won't (Recognize)

Senor & The Queen

 

Old White Lincoln
Orphans
Red Violins
Say I Won't
Senor and the Queen

 

I hear those songs as big arena rock songs, but they sound compressed or something to me in the recording, I don't really know how to explain. I wish they played more AS songs live :( I think that's where they really shine for me

 

Old White Lincoln
Red at Night
Red Violins
Say I Won't (Recognize)
Senor and the Queen

Tough matches. I love Orphans. "The clothes I wore just don't fit my soul anymore" is a fav line. I also adore Selected Poems and think it a great bombastic rock song but Senor and the Queen is just so well written

 

This is the hottest fucking take, I have no eyebrows

 

Old White Lincoln
Orphans
Red Violins
Say I Won’t
Senior and the Queen

 

Re: Say I Won't, this is another of my fav Gaslight live vids. Brian sounds pretty bad here because he was sick, but the Jeffersons theme song Jam in the middle is an absolute fucking blast and they all were visibly having so much fun

 

rollin’ & tumblin’ is fine, its a hard fast rock song and nothing more. Probably wouldnt vote for it but it would depend on the matchup.

 

It is fine but Say I Won't is a top ten for me. It's We Came to Dance's happier younger brother

 

Old White Lincoln (sucks to go against Haunts)
Orphans
Red in the Morning
Rollin' and Tumblin'
Senor & The Queen

 

If Say I Won't loses out I'm gonna be v sad but all is fair in love and bracketing

 

Old White Lincoln
Red at Night
Red in the Morning
Say I Won't
Senor

 

Say I Won't will win pretty easily I bet. The backing vocals on Rollin' towards the end (the oh my's, especially when they change the pitch) are one of my favorite moments on any Gaslight song, so I am a little irrational with that song. I love good backing vocal moments. It's probably my favorite on Get Hurt.
