Kay Posted August 23, 2022 Posted August 23, 2022 Well, they’re no MGK, obviously. (Said it sarcastically before @scoobscould genuinely express it) 1 2 Quote
Nosferatu Posted August 23, 2022 Posted August 23, 2022 Gaslight Anthem aren't a bad band but they're not great for me either. They're one of those bands where I like 2-3 songs but then I feel like every other song they do sounds the same or has the same vibes as those 2-3 songs. I get easily bored of them bands. 1 Quote
Russel Coight Posted August 23, 2022 Posted August 23, 2022 I’ve never listened to much Springsteen so I don’t really get the references/imitation issues. Only know that Born in the USA song and that doesn’t really sound like anything Gaslight have done that I’ve heard. Quote
Sun God Posted August 23, 2022 Posted August 23, 2022 I’ll take this opportunity to plug my favorite band. Social D is so legit that Bruce Springsteen has performed with Mike Ness multiple times. Here’s Bruce and his E street band with Ness performing a Social Distortion song 5 Quote

I know he’s shown up to play at Social D shows and he’s had Mike Ness perform with him at multiple Bruce Springsteen shows. What a cool dude. 3 Quote

Not sure if you’ve seen the Netflix special he taped when he was doing his broadway stint, but it’s fantastic. Dude is an amazing storyteller. 3 Quote

Worst poster here Posted August 24, 2022 Posted August 24, 2022 Shit talk TGA all you want, but this acoustic performance trumps anything post-2004 Blink has done IMO: 1 Quote

Diamond Church Street Choir Queen of Lower Chelsea Spirit of Jazz 45 Howl Blue Dahlia Underneath the Ground Have Mercy Break Your Heart Halloween Not an impressive list considering it’s from 3 albums, but those all stand up for me. You can easily double the list with Horrible Crowes and Brian’s solo stuff though. As for the influences, Springsteen was definitely over the top in 59 Sound but it was fun to hear a modern Americana band from punk roots borrow from Against Me, Springsteen, Petty, Pearl Jam/Nirvana, Tom Waits, the National, etc. over albums. I guess copying doesn’t bother me much if it still produces good music IMO. Leonard Cohen in Have Mercy is great They aren’t an overly talented band outside a good songwriter and pretty good guitarist, though. 2 Quote
