Discussion: Flaming Lips

Pages: 1 2 3 4
Mercury Rev, from what I know of them, are a bit more 'dreamy' than the Flaming Lips

>>By spikee



Yeah... But oh well... They still seem pretty cool...

>>By Grazyl



What other bands do you like?

>>By spikee



Hmmm... Just check out my Profile... As I cannot name them all...

>>By Grazyl



Ah I see... quite a list. I like a lot of 60s bands - Beach Boys (ohhh yeah!), Kinks, Beatles. I also like some 90s rock bands like Pearl Jam, but I'm not into hard rock. And I have a passing interest in techno and hip-hop. Quite a variety, really.

>>By spikee



Actually, hip-hop is a passed interest. More or less.

>>By spikee



Oh... I was a hip-hop/rap fan until the night I heard Ozzy's "Crazy Traing" then in like a week or so I bought that album...

>>By Grazyl



The car commercial. I just have one question....why?

>>By CÆT



I haven't seen this car commercial, I've heard it has Do You Realize playing in it though.

Do You Realize was played for about ten seconds in 50 First Dates also. Quit killing this awesome song!!!!

>>By spikee



Yeah... They are playing that song a bit too much... I do not want it to go to commercial/mainstream...

>>By Grazyl



Absolutely. Not like She Dont Use Jelly, which was apparently a big hit, altho I've never heard it outside of the CD.

Do you have Zaireeka yet?

>>By spikee



Hmmm... I do not have Zaireeka... Yet... But I plan to get it pretty soon... But I plan on getting The Day they Shot a Hole in the Jesus Egg & In a Priest Driven Ambulance... I started listening to them in Mid-2003... And have only gotten 2 of their cds so far...

>>By Grazyl



The Day They Shot A Hole In The Jesus Egg

IS

In A Priest Driven Ambulance

plus some outtakes

So you don't need to buy both separately.

>>By spikee



Well... I guess I could just get one of 'em...

>>By Grazyl



Buy The Jesus Egg if you can afford it, its a double CD. Some of the bonus tracks are awesome, esp. Ma I Didn't Notice.

>>By spikee



Sweet... Yeah... That's the one I'll probably end up buying...

>>By Grazyl



Don't forget about albums like Transmissions... and Clouds Taste Metallic though.

Is anyone else gonna post on here? Don't be shy!

>>By spikee



Yeah... Definitely Clouds Taste Metallic...

I was wondering the same thing... I don't think that anyone is... Sadly...

>>By Grazyl



Compared to how many people post for a shit band like Slipknot, its not fair. You don't like Shitnot, do you?

>>By spikee



Sorry... But I do... My music taste varies... But never into and Rap/Hip Hop, Death/Black Metal or Punk...

>>By Grazyl



Well, I did buy Slipknot's first album when it came out.... I was 18 I think.

Today's punk is TERRIBLE. The originals like The Clash & The Ramones I don't mind

>>By spikee



Hmmm... Yeah... The new stuff ("punk") really sucks...

What Bands do you think Influenced The Lips...??

>>By Grazyl



Don't know really. Their early 90s stuff (which I love the best) sounds to me like Nirvana crossed with the Beatles. I guess the more 'electronic' approach they took on Yoshimi is similar to what Radiohead did on Kid A/Amnesiac. What do you think?

>>By spikee



Nirvana/Beatles eh...?? Cool...

Yeah they did sound a bit Radiohead-ish... They are quite original...

>>By Grazyl



They are original - who else would release an album that you have to listen to on 4 different CD players at once (Zaireeka)?

I'm still a bit mind-blown by that idea. I don't even have 4 CD players.

>>By spikee



Hmmm... I can listen to 4 CD players... I have 2 myself... 1 I can borrow from Sis and 1 from StepDad...

>>By Grazyl



I'm listening to Zaireeka now. But only three discs of it. One on my stereo, one on my sisters portable stereo, and one on my laptop. Each track starts off with a voice saying "This is track number ... CD number ... " so you know whether the CDs are synchronised. It's a crazy idea! Each bit of the song comes from a different stereo. I can't comment on whether its a good album or not, but I'm blown away by the idea! The Lips rule

>>By spikee



I don't think I'll listen to Zaireeka very often... it takes too much effort!

>>By spikee



Oh... It is pretty crazy... But so awesomely-insanely-cool!!

I will have to buy it for sure...

>>By Grazyl



You still havent got anything other than Yoshimi & Soft Bulletin?
