Today is the day of John Lennon's death. I love John very much, adore his music, admire him, and am a John Lennon fan. I will miss you, Johnny!!! |

I made a video but I won't post a link here ... I get annoyed when Mahler spams the place up so I won't be doing the same! Nevertheless it's the thought that counts. I'd love to know what music John might've made if he'd survived through the hell that was the 80's. |

I tip my hat to one of the icons of rock and roll. May he rest in peace. |

Actually one of the only things i thought wasnt good about freddie was the artists he admired, most of them PURE garbage! like the beatles, aretha franklin etc, its pretty understandable though as there arent any band or singers that are even close to as good as he was so he had to settle with liking the garbage that was available. |

I'd love to know what music John might've made if he'd survived through the hell that was the 80's. John returned to his musical career in 1980 willing to write new songs, to get into his stride, feeling happy and enthusiastic! Alas, the Catcher in the Rye murderer was there to make his heart stop beating. Just when new horizons were opening to John, just when he was with us again after 5 years of oblivion! He was a genius, he founded the Beatles, together with Macca he developed the musical standards, making every single new album different and amazing and making the musical world wonder again and again. I am sure that if John had lived on he would have given us new different songs, he would have become more rockish, cause it was Paul who always diverted him to pop-style. We would have had real masterpieces, cause John was able to add some SALT and PEPPER to his songs. "I Am the Walrus", "Happiness IS a Warm Gun", "Strawberry Fields Forever", "A Day In Life"...What a loss! |

The little retard might be taking this a little hard, since he probably just found out (thru this thread) that John Lennon is indeed dead and that he once was in a band called The Beatles, a 60's mega-group that took the world by storm and changed Rock music forever. Perhaps TM is a little mini-Beethoven. Deaf and dumb and about to discover he's got gobbs of musical talent. Please, TM, let us know when that happens. |

You're a musical moron for thinking that they're 'better' songwriters, though. YEAH I know that Lennon couldn't have written Bohemian Rhapsody, so what? Like it or lump it, it takes talent to write some of the songs like the ones the Beatles churned out en masse... memorable, interesting, likeable, relevant and timeless songs, even if the recordings sound dated. What have you got? Tits Jug Faller??! Nobody remembers the melody to that song, and no one cares about the bald maggot grunting his way through it... You can sit there with a checklist and make sure your song has 15 more chords than anything else out there, but you'd be wasting your time. You fail at music because your songs don't communicate very effectively. They just sound like weak synth-driven wannabe-Malmsteen rubbish. PS. I wrote this while listening to "Forgotten One". Great job, guys. I've forgotten how it goes already. |

Seriously, I cringe everytime I hear the lyrics because they're just awful. If I was John Lennon I'd be rolling in my grave. |
| john bodega 10.12.2008 09:01 |
I have to say; the lyrics are a very poor stab at the sort of artsy stuff Lennon used to write, but the song itself is very Lennon (whether or not that's a good thing is up to Treasure Moment, I guess, since he's the only one here who knows what he's talking about). I can't recall the songs it's lifting from exactly, but I think "I Should've Known Better" shares a couple of characteristics with "Life Is Real"? Bah, I dunno. Point being; musically, it's a very clever pastiché and very, very Lennon. Lyrically, I've never liked it. |
| Mr.Jingles 10.12.2008 11:04 |
Melody wise, 'Life Is Real' is bland and easily forgettable. I do agree that it's a poor attempt at sounding Lennonish. Lyrics wise, the song is just plain horrendous. I have to mention that I'm the kind of guy who chooses to not pay much attention to song lyrics, and 90% of the time song lyrics go easily ignored, and they don't matter to me that much as long as the melody is good. ...and even still I can't ignore how awful the lyrics for 'Life Is Real' are. |
