Title: rammstein to spingsteen... 'the boss' is better than i was expecting
Post by: gwEm on June 11, 2009, 05:04:35 PM: i listened to some springsteen on youtube to get more of an idea of the boss set. i thought it would be grandma music, but actually its surprisingly emotional, and quite good.

any tips for some more hard rocking stuff rather than his ballad material?

Jungle Land.

thanks for this tip - great tune.

maybe springsteen will never be my favourite musician, but i have to admire the guys attitude - from what i saw he plays each show.. damn each song even.. like its the last he'll ever do.

Whichthe Boss Pickup will do - it's my fave tele pickup

Bruce is a great storyteller
Bon Jovi tried in vain to copy him

And that makes them similar to you ... how?!!

Post by: MrBump on June 13, 2009, 08:25:47 AM: I think that their story telling and imagery are similar in their song writing.

Also, I actually think that their voices are similar, although as I was alluding to in my comic and jovial way, Waits is a somewhat extreme version...

Clear?

Post by: Ian Price on June 13, 2009, 11:46:47 AM: Some of his newer stuff is pretty decent. Magic is a very good album (Radio Nowhere and Your own worst enemy are very good) but not up to Born to Run standards.

On a related matter I really don't see/hear any similarities between Waits and Springsteen. I have been listening to them both for many years and have never thought that. They are both great songwriters/storytellers but very different IMO!

for a fourth opinion, I'd never automatically think of either artist when I was thinking of the other seperately - they're both great, just different to each other.
