Even though by the time I could pick my own taste in music they were pushing Core was 20 years old, I think they’re one of the best bands OAT. Scott’s lyrics are sort of like “pop poetry” to me and Trippin’ has one of the coolest guitar solos I’ve ever heard. Chord progressions and baselines are just interesting, not too complex, but never boring and each song sticks is pretty much exactly as long as it needs to be and their unplugged album is incredible.
Dad loves them so we’ve seen the revived version with the new singer twice now. Has anybody seen them live in the 90s and then with the not-Scott singer?
One problem: they didn’t headline this show, the headliner was Godsmack and HOLY SHIT THEY ARE AWFUL
classic rock
I know.
I went to school with the new singer, Jeff Gutt. From a very small town, and it’s always weird to see him in STP. He was a super nice, chill kid.
that’s wild!! Fits the general description of someone who’d appreciate STP’s lyrics
Always had a soft spot for them, never caught a show unfortunately. You and your dad have good taste! The bassline in Trippin is one of my all timers. I’m learning to play bass and have had real good time on that one. The bass on Plush is fuckin rad too, super melodic and I hear it almost like backup vocals
they’re great songs to learn bass from! My friend and I would talk about Plush all the time during our formative music years. Keep at it!!!
Oh gawd, please don’t call STP classic rock. You couldn’t catch me calling NIN classic rock for the same reason, the 90s are not early enough temporally. Classic rock is like 60s or 70s tunes.
I’m so sorry you had to see Godsmack, lmao
STP is older than the 60s or 70s were when Core released what is it if not literally classic
I guess I tend to define these things based on static years, rather than how old it is relative to the present?
Are we going to be calling 30 Seconds To Mars classic rock in a couple decades?
hopefully by then we’ll have the technology to physically scrub all record of Jared Leto from history and memory. I’m also mostly just playin’
What was the problem with Godsmack?
No general problem i’m sure ppl there loved the show but we were only there to see STP, I’m just not into godsmack
