Christ, add in Mannheim Steamroller, the Eagles, and Phil Collins, and we could probably convince the Sex Pistols to nuke the place as a public service.Quote:

yeah dude, everyone who plays an instrument HAS to love everything you do. i mean, c'mon! what are they, stupid?Quote:

I'd nuke it just to get rid of Michael McDonald and his Kenny Rogers wannabe coif.
Live Steely is sick, one of my best live shows ever. Not a huge fan of the other guy though. Hopefully he opens.

he is essentially an "original member" of steely dan....his voice kicks ass
dude, did you see "40 Year Old Virgin"?:D
Every Steely Dan song has a sick guitar lick in it somewhere, and sometimes a nice sax break. Other than that I can't really listen to it.

Surely not. Surely, if there was one band that would never, ever, sell out it would be the Sex Pistols.
Not the gods of punk! Not those spitting, sneering rebels who called for anarchy, mocked the Queen, raised a middle digit to everything establishment, and ridiculed the greed of record companies.
But it appears so.
The Sex Pistols have signed over the rights to their back catalogue to Universal Music Publishing Group, which is now hawking it to companies for use in advertising.
Just in time for the 30th anniversary of their seminal 1977 album Never Mind the Bollocks, the Sex Pistols' music and imagery is up for the highest bidder.
Harvey Nichols - that chi-chi department store beloved of England's well-to-do establishment - has already paid up for a Sex Pistols summer window display.
Range Rover and British Airways are believed to be among the companies also targeted by Universal to use Sex Pistols songs in their ads.
It gets worse.
There are reportedly also plans for Sex Pistols action figures, a Sex Pistols musical and Sex Pistols ringtones.
"The band members must approve every opportunity put to them but we believe they will want to maximise the income we can generate," Universal president Paul Connolly said.
Maximise income is corporatese for make a bucketload.
But before the tears of betrayal from old punks rust their safety pins, they really shouldn't be too surprised.
After all, when the Pistols - minus the late Sid Vicious - re-formed in 1996 for a reunion tour, it was titled Filthy Lucre.
And what was punk about if not defying expectations of how to behave, whether it be from the crusty establishment of 1977 or today's diehard acolytes.
The Sex Pistols revelled in their disregard for anyone but themselves, and in one of their most famous songs Pretty Vacant, sang: "Don't ask us to attend 'cos we're not all there/ Oh don't pretend 'cos I don't care/ I don't believe illusions 'cos too much is real/ So stop your cheap comment 'cos we know what we feel".
And everyone knows, ideals tend to fade as waistlines expand and hairlines recede.
Lead singer John Lydon (formerly Johnny Rotten) is now a 50-year-old US property investor with a portfolio worth more than eight figures, guitarist Steve Jones is now a teetotaller who campaigns against swearing on television, and drummer Paul Cook is a family man.
Indeed only original bassist Glen Matlock remains touring with his own band, an irony given that he was sacked for being too conservative and replaced by Vicious.
Sell out? Surprised?
As Mr Rotten sang: "I got no feelings for anybody else, except for myself, my beautiful self."
tickets will be $1.2 million. If you want to be able to see Fagen's hideous yellowing gap teeth, $1 billion. Seriously that was an expensive show to see last time they were on tour. Made me want to go find some cuervo gold and fine columbian.
and did anyone see mcdonald when he was recording "Peg"? all-in-3-D...fo-reign-mov-ie. All while looking like Bob Seger. funcking hilarious.
as opposed to a ROCKIN' sax break.Quote:

and Fagen's keyboard guitar solo on kid charlemagne is incredible
Something can be incredible without "kicking ass." Semantics are important.
Definitely. The Bush Administration's case for invading Iraq is incredible, but most assuredly does not kick ass.
i was 1st row at steely dan a few years ago at fiddlers. it ruled. and most definately kicked ass.
Definitely not a rumor, Phish. One of my very closest friends is touring with them, on keyboards (Jeff Young). We had breakfast this morning - he told me that McDonald will join Steely Dan and play some songs - not just open. I'll be going to the Irvine, CA show, on 7/20.
The greatest Studio Band, ever.
Disclaimer: I like Steely Dan, always have. Showbiz Kids is one of my faves.
i've got steely dan records at home, but i'm capable of keeping my hands out of my pants at the thought of this concert.
big fan of the dan but some of their fans are intolerable. It's like they are analyzing a snifter of cognac when they talk about various studio sessions and concerts they have attended. And in fact I'm sure many of them do sample snifters of cognac.
There's nothing wrong with sampling a snifter of cognac... just as long as you say "fuck! That was good." and not "[blah, blah, nuances about cognac]".Quote:

I don't know Michael McDonald, but apparently he's my brother.
Any band who's fans refer to them as "The Dan" is pretty suspect in my book.
Michael McDonald is a raging deushnozzle. That is all.
Obviously you've never seen The Dan Band, which means you've never seen the movie "Old School," which makes you pretty suspect in my book.Quote:
