      Yes and I love it for my own, but I wish he didn't use a Boss phaser, too syrupy and doesn't mix well with other guitars

    This is one of those beautiful songs you can relate to from your childhood. It has made me happy and sad all at the same token and I love this to the point that i cried when I heard it as it is familiar and drenches your ears with pure love. Its sloppy and organised all at the same time.

  • @mgoblue3651
    @mgoblue3651 11 лет назад +2

    that's what makes his live performances fun though. He just goes off and improvs a bunch of his songs and it's a lot of fun. Last night in DC he turned "Ghost Town" into a 10 minute jam sesh playing on his electric with the Violators whereas on the album it's a slow, plodding acoustic piece where he's solo. It's great having an artist take some liberties with his music to make every live show unique and different.

  • @samsochet7436
    @samsochet7436 5 лет назад +16

    I know there's a lot of Lou Reed similarities, but the one that comes to mind for me and what draws me to Kurt's music, is how he reminds of when Neil Young would jam like this... What do you think?

    • @manicmandownup
      @manicmandownup 4 года назад

      Sam Sochet although there is similarities to other musicians, I never really thought about it until I saw your question. I think he’s unique among the musicians you mentioned...

      Neil Young is just as big of an influence on him, if not more. People have musical influences. It's cuz they like their music, not cuz they strive to be just like them.

    @GlennMarshallRocks 6 лет назад +4

    Great song, great guitar tones, awesome mix, and totally rock solid, tight drummer, but... terrible camera work...!
    Showing Kurt playing acoustic while the lead guitarist is soloing is not only aggravating and distracting, but it's unforgivable...
    Ignoring the lead guitarist's second solo and showing us the drummer instead is just beyond fathoming in the slightest, and shows a lack of even the most basic music video production skills, or even any understanding of how to just film a band... although I totally dig this song and have played it over and over ever since I first heard it; deciding to seek it out on RUclips to see if I might be able to see Kurt actually performing it; by the time the guitarist's 3rd, lead-out solo started, and the cameraman still insisted on ignoring him completely and again focused on Kurt strumming his guitar, and showing us the drummer striking the skins, and showing us the bass player playing his part, I just couldn't even watch it anymore and just stopped the video to make these few notes here, which hopefully someone will see and themselves make a note to themselves not have this cameraman shoot any more videos, as terrible as this one is...
    ...but love Kurt... Excellent music... Excellent band... Excellent sound... Excellent mix... and I'll certainly be looking to hear much more from him... ;-)
