New Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds - Page 3

I just bought ticket to Flow-festival on friday...and to my big suprise there is also Blixa! What a great summer of 2013!

It´s true there is lesser guitar in today´s bad seeds, because only one who play it in the album is Warren Ellis (I really liked also he´s playing although he really isn´t Harvey or Blixa). In album it doesn´t bother me at all, but of course it can be different in the live situation. I haven´t watched any of live performances and I believe I will not watch before that Flow gig.

Warren Ellis is incredible and I wont let a bad word be said about him.

It's this "Ed Kuepper" guy.

Listening to shows from DIG LAZ DIG tour, I thought something was off with the guitars. Same with the new shows.

It's this guy, I figured out.

I mean, it's not like he's total shit. I just don't think he belongs in this band. He detracts more than he contributes.

Blixa can play only a few notes and be perfect.
This guy can play through the whole song and add nothing.

That's all.

A weird complaint, I guess.

Huh. I didn't research.

Yeah, I've heard that song plenty of times, and a few other early Saints things. What that band requires and what the Seeds require are two different things.

I dunno. The band can survive without Blixa. But without Mick Harvey? I dunno. I think it becomes something else at that point.

I agree fully. I think it´s very much Ellis who has made both Grinderman-albums and last two Bad Seeds-albums so great! I think Ellis is as important to Cave as Blixa & Harvey has been before.
