rammstein to spingsteen... 'the boss' is better than i was expecting

[gwEm]

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.

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.

The Boss is awesome - checkout Darkness On The Edge Of Town (rockin) and also Nebraska (acoustic)

Rosalita (come out tonight)
From the small things (big things one day come)
Murder Incorporated
Born to run
Radio Nowhere

Springsteen's genius in his ability to write stories that are very true to life ... the line between what is real and what is fictional gets blurred.

I thought you going to discuss the Pickup doing a range of stuff from Rammstein to Spingsteen :(
Whichthe Boss Pickup will do - it's my fave tele pickup

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

Tom Waits reminds me a lot of Springsteen, albeit a version of Sprinsteen that had been dragged down to Hades and buggered senseless by Satan himself over the course of many lifetimes...

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

[MrBump]

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?

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!

Ah.

Just me then.

Ah.

Just me then.

Maybe  :D

But then again only 3 of us have posted our opinons!!

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.
