That man could not read an audience 3 feet away. I also got to know the fact that the man is a functioning alcoholic, finishing nearly 12 cans to himself before going onstage, and that he is banned from the entire chain of theatres I used to work at for being rude, dismissive of staff and responding terribly to bad audience feedback.
I don't hate this man in the slightest, I pity him. Where he tries to wear the "never hitting mainstream" as a cloak Even naming a tour after it the cracks appear when you're one on one with him. He is angry, and I don't think he know who he's angry at.
Or push it down hill. Stewart Lee should have 'cunt' stamped onto his forehead with a branding iron. Completely unfunny, dated, painful SHIT. I don't get him really. He seems to spend hours on stage pretending that he 'gets something' nobody else has. I just wish he'd get a sense of humour. His material is delivered in a "If you don't find this funny, you can't be very intelligent" manner, which is an attitude perpetuated by the pseudo-intellectual Guardian reading arsebiscuits who like him.
Look out, look out, gammon-headed bastard about. Pathetic and childish. This cunt can't even rally a paying audience. Ham-headed, ham-fisted spastic. Absolutely the worst comedian I have ever had the misfortune to encounter.
Don't waste your money or time. Only comedian that I have ever thought of walking out on. In fact he's the opposite. And totally unfunny. Just because your TV show is terrible doesn't mean you have to rip into Russell Howard and 'that Roadshow''. Don't bother telling me that I don't get it; I don't want it. It's only possible to like right-on, lefty comedians like Stuart Lee if you're a right-on lefty yourself.
Like all right-on lefties he feigns contempt of intolerance and ridicules people for the predictably, allegedly right wing intolerances ascribed to stereotypically right wing people. To me, morally or comedically this is no better than Bernard Manning or Jim Davidson both of whom were genuinely funny even if you now think their jokes were racist but neither of them were genuinely bigoted, IMHO of course, like Stewart Lee and his fans.
In attempting to send up intolerance by being blatantly intolerant and bigoted, Lee falls flat on his face making any genuinely tolerant, left-of-centre, liberals so horrified that they simply could not laugh. In short, if you're a bigoted, socialist worker, civil servant, teacher, social worker or NHS employee then Stuart Lee is the comedian for you. If you actually care about tolerance for all, even those who have different political opinons from you, he's about as funny as the credit crunch.
It makes it much worse. Give me Michael McIntyre any day. He was carrying laundry. Dave Chappelle's could show him how it's done. Whoever this youth is, he sounds about as funny as three weeks of really bad weather! Maybe it's time to lighten up a little? I hope the fucking chrones disease kills him. Boring as hell and unfunny. I've never seen a moronic idiot trying to tell jokes in my life.
What a fuck. Message Bookmarked. Not all messages are displayed: show all messages of them. View Previous Page I'd love that, too.
Days Have Gone By would allow for a broad survey of Fahey- has studio stuff but some old Fonotone tracks on it, sound collages with licks he'd later use in FFF , the national anthem of Finland, etc etc- all the weirdness that makes Fahey great No wait, should be one about Voice of the Turtle!
Claiming it is from "Newbury Comics and Takoma". Who would Takoma be at this point? Concord Music Group? Howdy ILM, what record has Fahey at his most "slack key"? Alternatively, his most "slack key" tracks in your opinion would be nice. Christmas has truly arrived. Is it down? Phased production on some of those duets is pretty sweet too. Skipping messages at this point I imagine his wry smile. It's not like he was playing "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.
I hope you're being facetious Tim Ellison. He not only played that one, he also played the "Skater's Waltz" and "White Christmas". The abortions just don't stop with him Obviously there's nothing inherently ridiculous about playing any of those songs, but I detect a real sly sense of humour in the way he plays them. I mean, syncopated hymns! For pretty much the entire album. I don't think it's just a joke or even primarily a joke, but listening to the amazing long slides up to the high notes on Silent Night brings tears to my eyes and makes me think everything is hilarious and magnificent.
If only I could feel like that all the time and if only the whole album was that good. It doesn't sound like he's making fun of these pieces, he's celebrating them, enjoying them, elevating them Waltzing Matilda is a fantastic tune, and his rendition is reverent and it makes you take it seriously and notice how good it is.
Everytime I hear it I'm convinced it's one of my favourite tunes. One of Fahey's greatest talents to my mind, was the care and sympathy with which he would play tunes. He was so good at arranging tunes, composing intros and outros that would sometimes dwarf the actual piece, and also really good at medleys later on anyway , something that doesn't usually interest me at all.
Perhaps "ridiculous" gives people the wrong idea, but it is certainly amusing and smile-inducing, for me anyway. For a second I thought you were saying my criticisms were "technically proficient, boring, soulless, defanged, etc. As for Kottke, never heard of him. Here is a John Fahey track I talked about somewhere above. It's interesting rhythmically, and his phrasing is brutally funny. Love the cathartic feel as you approach 5 minutes in.
God, it sounds like a mongoloid wearing gloves is playing it. This is exactly what I'm talking about: all these predictable gimmicks he uses like ending his phrases by slowing down, that incessant ponderous bass-line, very little sense of dynamics, flaccid chord voicings. Not sure what you mean by catharsis, the thing just peters out. Here is a guitarist who has some talent. Malmsteen wipes Snooks. I've never heard Malmsteen play "High Society". Do you have an mp3 of him playing that?
The second Christmas album is easily the best thing I've ever heard by him, side one anyway and yes the duets are the best parts. Not as bad when I recorded Tom Lehrer performing his satirical piano revue which was about all the great folk legends..
We're talkin' Stevie Nicks shit now. That was fuckin' nasty. Skipping messages at this point When I listen to some fingerstyle players today, I feel like the intro goes on for 5 minutes and they never get around to the music. Find all posts by rick-slo.

Find all posts by Larry Pattis. I have no idea what album that is, since I never really followed the few "modern" collaborations that Fahey had, near the end. Was this album released after Fahey's death, with others playing "over" previously-recorded material, or was this album a collaboration while Fahey was still alive? Howard Klepper. All times are GMT The time now is PM. For those of you that find listening to fingerstyle guitar boring.
