What do you think of My Bloody Valentine??
 
I think they're a really good band, their album Loveless is amazing, Isn't anything is great too what do you think?

Also, i didn't know there were so many threads about them already.. i should have checked.

Rob Instigator 01.02.2009 05:50 PM

great band that took me ten years too long to get into due to my misconception of the pussyfied fans of said band, and of the music contained within, but holy FUCK is it not the most sublime sonic sprawl....

sarramkrop 01.02.2009 05:50 PM

What do they sound like?

I'm sure a few will agree.

SiLvEr RoCkEt 01.02.2009 05:54 PM

I love "Onley Shallow" so much! Its kind of haunting..

noisereductions 01.02.2009 06:25 PM

They're great. And yeah, obviously LOVELESS is their best.

MellySingsDoom 01.02.2009 06:27 PM

Who is this band? I've no idea what anyone is talking about here. As far as I know, My Bloody Valentine is the name of a tiresome early 1980's splatter film. Why would anyone want to name themselves after that? And why are we talking about this unknown band in the first place.....surely we should be talking about the under-rated Dinosaur Jr or The Strokes?

StevOK 01.02.2009 06:31 PM

haha, porky and melly made me laugh.

My favorite song is "When You Sleep".

I really wish that the re-masters of Loveless will be released soon, or a leak will surface. They keep delaying them.

Derek 01.02.2009 06:34 PM

My Bloody Valentine (the movie) rules.

StevOK 01.02.2009 06:36 PM

The new 3D one?

demonrail666 01.02.2009 06:38 PM

If you look at the Loveless cover through 3d Glasses you see a slightly chubby bloke building a career out of a Dinosaur Jnr riff and a whammy bar.

greedrex 01.02.2009 06:39 PM

who?

What, Yngwie Malmsteen?

demonrail666 01.02.2009 06:48 PM

yes. him too. and J Mascis, probably.

atsonicpark 01.02.2009 09:03 PM

We have ten thousand threads about them... but since I love repeating myself!!!!...

They're okay. Loveless has like 3 good songs. Isn't Anything is good. You Made me Realize is a good lil' ep. Decent band. Nothing special.

The original, Canadian movie is great though.

I honestly think that's about the fairest, most sensible assessment of MBV I've read here so far. Another case of a band not half as bad as their critics suggest or half as good as their fans insist. Same with Pavement and Dinosaur Jnr.

Green Magnesium 01.02.2009 11:04 PM

Love the band.

Love the Canadian film...... which is finally being released UNCUT this month! That's right folks the film will finally make it's debut (after nearly 30 years) in it's original uncensored, gore-filled version. Pick it up!

Death & the Maiden 01.03.2009 04:53 AM

Isn't Anything is great. Loveless isn't that great.

the movie SUCKS

band is good though!

Dr. Eugene Felikson 01.03.2009 06:25 PM

I'm actually excited to see the new 3d remake, it looks like a fuckload of fun to see in theaters.

Toilet & Bowels 01.03.2009 06:31 PM

their reunion show last year was shit and it put me off ever listening to them again

atsonicpark 01.03.2009 09:01 PM

the movie is amazing.

Some of the best atmosphere in any horror movie ever. Love the setting, the killings, etc. Just great.

I wish they'd release the uncut version but that won't happen until Paramount loses the rights completely. Fuck them.

Green Magnesium 01.04.2009 12:51 AM

Ding dong dildo..... you're a no-good horror fan and a terrible boardie for missing the fact that the UNCUT version will be released to dvd next week! It's a joint effort between Lions Gate and Paramount. Over 3 minutes of footage has been restored to the film's running time.

:)

atsonicpark 01.04.2009 07:45 AM

WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, hey, that's amazing! Thanks!! It's been YEARS... let me think, it's been literally six years now that I've been waiting for this. Impressive.

wellcharge 01.04.2009 08:19 AM

i like the band but i don't listen to them very often

i wanna see the uncut version of the movie, but honestly "over 3 minutes of footage" being restored is not that exciting,i'm sure whatever got cut out is pure awesome however

auto-aim 01.04.2009 08:50 AM

where the fuck is the sequel?

sarramkrop 01.04.2009 08:53 AM

when will you fucking stop saying totally superfluous things about this lot?

ZEROpumpkins 01.04.2009 08:59 AM

Kinda dumb topic to be putting on a SY board IMO.

sarramkrop 01.04.2009 09:01 AM

Are you trying to say the topic isn't saturated with loads of crap talk, Mr 'Everything Begins and Ends with Authecre'?

ZEROpumpkins 01.04.2009 09:02 AM

Autechre
I'm saying that it's obviously a given that we're all nuts for MBV. Myself included.
Autechre

sarramkrop 01.04.2009 09:07 AM

Why is it obvious? Can you explain?

ZEROpumpkins 01.04.2009 09:11 AM

Because they're both in a very similar music boat, and Loveless is an Alternative classic, hence it's a given we'd like it so much.

sarramkrop 01.04.2009 09:13 AM

Really? You really think that?
