Stereophonics thread

DavidMn · #1 03-24-2008, 10:32 PM

Ok, so I've decided to make it my personal mission to expose these guys to as many of you as possible. I know I've ranted and raved about how much I love them and now I have someone who can help me with the technical end of things, of which I'm not so good. Stew Matthews has graciously offered to post some Youtube videos similar to the one in my birthday thread a few days back. It may be a couple days before they're posted but he'ell do them as his schedule permits I'm sure. Looking forward to feedback from all of you once we get some stuff up on here.

Cool idea. I would like to see the videos but don't have time to search youtube. You guys know the material.

Who the hell are you to assume we haven't already heard the Stereophonics before you came around?

By the way, the new album sucks.

What is your problem dude? Most people I talk to here havent heard of them so I am trying to expose more of their music. Oh and as for your OPINION NOT STATED FACT that Pull The Pin sucks, it was #1 in Britain for 3 weeks when it first came out, so who the hell cares what you think. WHAT A JERK

You've "exposed" us to them by referencing them quite often- often under the guise that we would have never heard of them before you thankfully- GRACIOUSLY- "introduced" them to us. It's your pet "cause", we get it.

And, you're correct, its my opinion that the new album sucks, and that they've hit their peak. I've seen them 5-6 times over the last eight years. I think I know what I'm talking about.

Dude, you know what, you are an arrogant ass. Like I said, people like you have absolutely nothing better to do than to try and bait people into reacting, and unfortunately I fell for it. I really dont care what you think about this thread. it will continue and if you dont like it, put me on ignore or dont read the thread, ok?

People are passionate about different things in their lives and David happens to have the Stereophonics on his list. I'm sure some of my interests don't appeal to everyone here but that's life. There's no need to slag the guy for being enthusiastic...........

David - you just need to cut and paste from You-Tube where it says 'Embed' on the right. But here are the first two I saw.

For those who want to try their stuff - there is some further down the post -

Thanks Stewy. I love you!

For your advice to David on how to embed (I didn't know how to do that either) and for all the music you expose me to...

(I truly am waming up to some of the jazz songs you sent me.)

Special & dear to many of us is the Fender Rhodes suitcase on the Stereophonics cover of "Don't Let Me Down" by the Beatles.

See The Beatles Keyboard Book (Hal Leonard Publishing Corp., Keyboard Recorded Versions series - 1993) for the arrangement used by the Stereophonics keyboardist, Tony Kirkham.
