(S/P = Smack or Punch)

Two people (who don't even know each other) have said that to me. X without Exene. "I would like X, if only they sounded like someone else."

No patience for comments like that ...

Is this similar to "I would like the Doors, if only Morrison wasn't singing?"

Also, classic.

I'd like the Beatles more if it wasn't for those four moptopped ponces

So you like George Martin then.

That Doors comment makes sense to me, Alex.

Except that I wouldn't like the Doors, even without Jim Morrison.

c'mon, some of the music's pretty good when it's not smothered by Jim's ego.

"I would like X better if Ray Manzarek hadn't been involved." - C/D

― dave225 (Dave225), Thursday, 10 June 2004 18:06 (twenty-one years ago)

Ray Manzarek was in X?

― noodle vague (noodle vague), Thursday, 10 June 2004 18:08 (twenty-one years ago)

You might want to check some production credits there.

How long d'you think it took for them to get sick of him bitching about Morrison?

― noodle vague (noodle vague), Thursday, 10 June 2004 18:11 (twenty-one years ago)

I actually saw John Doe the other night. He did a couple of X songs and all I could think was "thank god Exene was in that band." I love them to death, but his voice on it's own does far less than half the job.

― danh (danh), Thursday, 10 June 2004 19:14 (twenty-one years ago)

I'd like X if they didn't do that off-harmony thing (and made the lyrics easier to hear). Both of them sound fine separately and when they're not doing that off-key holler on song after song after song. I blame Exene no more than Doe, it takes two.

I thought this was a Yeah Yeah Yeahs thread

― Morley Timmons (Donna Brown), Thursday, 10 June 2004 20:39 (twenty-one years ago)

Manzarek also played "Baby Elephant Walk" organ on all those early tracks, Noodle Vague.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Thursday, 10 June 2004 20:39 (twenty-one years ago)

in which the variable X=Yeah Yeah Yeahs (leaves)

― Morley Timmons (Donna Brown), Thursday, 10 June 2004 20:39 (twenty-one years ago)

I kind of like the Stooges, if they would just lose the little shirtless guy.

― briania (briania), Thursday, 10 June 2004 20:42 (twenty-one years ago)

When I responded to "How did band (X) get their name I thought the band had adopted parentheses, perhaps inspired by (smog).

RE: "variable", my vote is Scissor Sisters.

Best thing about X = Billy Zoom.

There's no girl in X!

At least, not in the X I acknowledge as a seminal band.

X - Exene = Fear/Go-Go's

― amateur!st (amateurist), Friday, 11 June 2004 04:07 (twenty-one years ago)

X - Exene = Fear/Go-Go's

It's going to take me the rest of the evening to parse that.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Friday, 11 June 2004 04:13 (twenty-one years ago)

order in

― amateur!st (amateurist), Friday, 11 June 2004 04:16 (twenty-one years ago)

pretenders! i like pretension but chrissie hynde is wrong-way-rubbing for me in a big way. and she's mixed so loud! still, love the guitar.

― g--ff (gcannon), Friday, 11 June 2004 04:49 (twenty-one years ago)

Fuck that. Anything after 'Aspirations' isn't really X.

Props to the 2001-ish live album though.
