Which Absolute Beginners?

[Goat Boy]

Anyway.....I love Absolute Beginners sweeping romanticism. I think it really captures that initial rush of love and adoration you experience with a new partner beautifully. The vulnerability, the nervousness, the conviction, all that jazz. Great record.

DAD asked him about this and he replied by posting some possible chords

[Goat Boy]

I didn't understand the chords thing but I took it more to mean that histrionic Bowie thing where he goes a bit over the top. See also: Wild is the Wind, which Coan hates.

The whole of the last few pages has been embarrassing to be honest.

I know you really like John, G, and he can't do much wrong with lots of members here, but he posted in this discussion (and that's what people are having) about overreaching chord changes. DAD asked him about this and he replied by posting some possible chords. I mentioned that the chords weren't particular special. In fact his chords were probably wrong.
Instead of engaging with the discussion he acted like a twat, calls in his buddy Gash, and was insulting.
And still, rather than engage in discussion, he won't. I have mentioned that had he explained himself it could have led to an interesting discussion, but John doesn't like that. He'd rather deflect.


Why we hide from the fact that he's the ultimate BCB troll, I don't know.

You must know pedantically trying to interrogate him is not going to yield any great insight, so why bother?
I knew what meant. He finds the record too over the top. It's a side of Bowie not everyone likes.

Bingo.

[The Modernist]

Well you insulted him a little bit yourself.

How civil should someone be to a poster who says he could batter the fuck out of them?

Fancy answering the question then?

It's all there in my first post on this thread. Read it again if you like, matey

If you want to get into semantics find another soulless pedant.

I fucking love that!

So it's the bombast and over-powering theatrics of the music?


See, wasn't so difficult was it?

Absolutely no idea what that has to do with 'over reaching chord changes' but, well, each their own.

Shall we move on now?

Wasn't so difficult to what? read something again?

Aren't you ashamed that everyone else on the board apart from you and Hodgson understood it the first time around?

I think you've already made it abundantly clear that you're a bit dense - why make people dwell on your confusion?

Oh dear John.

Oh dear indeed.

[Darkness_Fish]

This is making the threadcrapping thread seem less embarrassing.

:lol:

Oh dear John.

Oh dear indeed.

Want to answer my questions, Pete?

Want an 'adult debate'?

I can't believe Ranking Ted started such a divisive thread. He must've known this would happen -he's the biggest troll of them all!

Bingo.

Well then he meant overweening . We can move on!
