vivalaultra 0 Report post Posted August 24, 2006 Bob Dylan has weird taste in opening acts, especially considering I just read an article where he said that there haven't been any good CDs to come out in the last 20 years, and that all new music is just a bunch of overlapping noise. Nothing against The Ranconteurs or the Foo Fighters or even Kings of Leon...as much as I dislike them. I just...couldn't see Bobby Zim rocking out to em. Either way, I'd like to see Dylan live, but I don't have a burning desire to. And all of those arena shows are far away from me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Annabelle 0 Report post Posted August 24, 2006 i have a morbid interest in seeing him nowadays. though i am liking his latest albums mroe with time. i think his new one may be the best of the bunch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vivalaultra 0 Report post Posted August 24, 2006 I haven't listened to any "new" Dylan in years. I'm probably just being a dick, but if I wanna hear Dylan, I'll just listen to Highway 61 or Freewheelin' or Blonde on Blonde etc. I'll probably check out his new CD sooner or later, even if, in the article I mentioned, he said that his new record sounds like crap.

snuffbox 0 Report post Posted August 24, 2006 I really enjoyed his two most recent cds...and am downloading Modern Times, with high hopes, right now. I am looking forward to my attendance at the Madison show. Banky, I assume you've already listened to Modern Times? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Annabelle 0 Report post Posted August 24, 2006 yes, you are being a dick. especially if you're one of these fags who cream themselves over new tom waits stuff. i don't see too much of a difference. well, a bit. and i like tom waits. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vivalaultra 0 Report post Posted August 24, 2006 It's not like I haven't listened to new Bob Dylan like...out of principle or something. It's not a snobbish thing. I just haven't had the urge to listen to anything he's put out in the last 25 or so years recently. And I totally dig new Tom Waits. Is it wrong to like new Tom Waits almost more than old Bob Dylan?

Annabelle 0 Report post Posted August 24, 2006 i don't know. i really like tom waits too. its grown on me. but i find some people are passing on some really great stuff from dylan out of principal. i did it too. i'm sure i am coming off mroe antagonistic than i really am. bob's past three albums have been good. i see similarities in some ways between waits & dylan currently. its not entirely musical, either. there are similarities in their gentle ballads, i guess. i just see them as forefathers to an era in music that is dying. and dylan's game is close to as good as waits right now.

Annabelle 0 Report post Posted August 24, 2006 Yeah...I'm enjoying this Modern Times material. i think dylan still has TONS to offer. this is mere evidence of it. he's stopped attempting to sound "modern" and playing the minimalistic songs that suit him the best. johnny cash's resurgence had a lot to do with him simply sitting down with a guitar and singing about life. its a lot like hearing your grandfather tell you stories from 50 years ago. hearing all of the wisdom he's accumulated through the years. when bob dylan, and even to a lesser extent, tom waits, dies we won't have these artifacts. we'll be left with their music from 25 years ago, but nothing new to enlighten the masses. bob squandered over 10 years attempting to be something he was not. he tried keeping up with the times. its so refreshing to hear what he's doing now. its as exciting as hearing blonde on blonde for the first time. not that i'm saying its as good, but that i'd heard so much about the album that i was thrilled to finally listen to it. now, i'm excited to hear where bob is musically considering he has seemingly shed whatever core audience he tried clinging onto in the 80's.

Toshiaki Koala 0 Report post Posted August 24, 2006 Modern Times is out already? Glad to hear it. I'd pick it up but my parents would just end up stealing it from me, so I'll wait for them to make the purchase themselves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Annabelle 0 Report post Posted August 25, 2006 modern times got ***** by rolling stone. just like love & theft. bobby will get a free pass from them for life now. no question. they're dropping blonde on blonde comparisons to love & theft. yeesh. be fair, boys. its completely different.

King Kamala 0 Report post Posted August 26, 2006 I'm seeing him on Sunday night on his minor league ballpark tour with Jimmie Vaughan and Junior Brown as openers. I'm also planning on buying tickets to see him November 9th in Portland. He's huge in Portland for some reason, he's sold out the Civic Center the last two times he played there in '99 and '01. And with The Raconteuers as an opening act, I'm sure it'll sell out within the first couple of days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vivalaultra 0 Report post Posted August 27, 2006 So, I've decided to acquaint myself with newer Bob Dylan. I d/led "Time Outta Mind", which I hadn't heard in about 3 years, and I really enjoyed it. I also got the new one, which I really dug. Right now I'm downloading "Love and Theft". Of those two new Dylan records that I've heard today, I still like new Tom Waits more, but I'm glad to be listening to new Dylan, as it's quite good give or take.

King Kamala 0 Report post Posted August 31, 2006 Hmm tickets for his show in Portland, Maine are only $45 a pop. Not too bad- especially considering the Raconteurs are opening. I saw him two days ago in Manchester, NH on the minor league ball park tour and the show was fucking ace. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
