      I mean that Hollywood chooses to make certain singers and music bands famous that they like with a commercialized cookie cutter sound.

    • @edvaughan1035
      @edvaughan1035 5 лет назад +6

      he rarely plays solos in recorded stuff which is a shame. theres a really incredible one in tailor made and also in foolin around, but i think brian has really reached his guitar god status around october december and is barely showing off. when i saw them live i was blown away and ive always been a sucker for guitar solos, so its a waste when they leave them out on the record. For example, this song on the record is literally the same but without the solo over the top of it,but since hearing this done live im always picturing the solo on top of it. Brian: put solos on the next record ffs

    I’m in my late 50’s and grew up on a staple diet of 79’s rock (which I still listen to). Stumbled across these guys when watching them on Jooks Holland shoe and loved them. This is a wonderful version and the guitar solo is just so good. It’s great to see young musicians playing music like this.

    I have a major crush on Brian - his voice, his shredding, his Keith from The Partridge Family good looks…and man, this song is something special. That part in the chorus where he sings “Day-ay-aaaa…ayayah-ayay…AY” reminds me so much of that Seals and Croft “Summer Breeze” song.

    From the mountains to the prairies
    Everything is looking scary
    But the lot around me feel no pain
    They live their days in mass delusion
    While I coddle my seclusion
