Thrice Band • Page 128

A double bass pedal can be good when used with restraint, but that's not regularly the case. I still like That Hideous Strength. It's definitely aged, but the song was great at the time and I wouldn't call it laughably bad.

 

When I heard THS, I thought it was a b-side/demo for IOS. Not bad, but nothing to latch onto. It has nothing on the B-Sides I assume were written for Artist (Eclipse and Motion Isn't Meaning).

 

Those are both great. That cover of Eleanor Rigby is pretty cringe-worthy though.

 

I like it haha

 

I think they'd do a much better job of covering that song if they set out to do it now.

 

I only really like 1 out of 3 Beatles covers they have done (Helter Skelter).

 

If you showed that to someone who didn't know it was Thrice, I don't think they could tell it was Dustin's voice.

 

Their cover of I Want You is solid

 

Remember when Riley was constantly peppered with double kick questions if the fans got the sense he was ditching it? I love it when it's tastefully done, but it was such a fad back in those days. THRICE used it as well as you could it while still being restrained.

 

Question/Poll:

Would you guys rather have a covers record....

OR

A 'Best of' Consisting of Acoustic Arrangements As Well As Clean Guitar/Strings a la MySpace Transmissions?

 

Acoustic

 

Acoustic. Although I love their recent cover of 1979.

 

Depends on the covers. Dustin's live cover album rules.

 

I had no idea this was a thing, really enjoyed that.

 

I have zero interest in covers.

 

I tend to like covers more if I like/identify with the original song more. Covers of songs I'm not familiar with I don't usually care for.

Related: that 1979 cover is great

 

I have main two reactions to covers...

1) This is not good. I’m never listening to it again.

2) This is a fun take. I’m never listening to it again.

 

One cover that I always go back to because I like it better than the original. It's Thrice related

 

I like that they did the live version

 

The acoustic "Deadbolt" from Warped Tour 2003 was awesome. We'd finally get an extended version if they did their "Best of" with this type of arrangement.

 

THRICE is still the best band in the world as of mid-February 2018.

 

thank you for the state of the union mister president

 

nothing but respect for MY president

 

too perfect for these things
