Hello guys.
Is it just that they are heavily influenced by something great (NC), that came before them,
Of course not, its more like: How interesting would a new band called Porno Pistols playing 3 chord punk versions of God Save Prince Charles be? Enough is enough. This is just my personal opinion, Im happy that others seem to like Estradasphere.
or did one of them sleep with your girlfriend? ;-)
Ah, girlfriend The words sound so sweet in my ear, yet so far away . ;-)
You cannot deny their skill as musicians.
Do you mean their chops? Or is it what Ken calls schtick and makes him want to kill people? For me a good musician is somebody who plays good music. Estradasphere are perhaps good in the sense of a professionel studio musicians or a David Sanborn backing group. Id ten times rather listen to Naked City stumble through Demon Sanctuary than Estradasphere play a highly skillful version of their lame what-ever.
I have never heard a band that is 100 % original. If you investigate well enough, you can find someone who's done it before. I mean, you don't listen to Miles davis or Charles Mingus because they are original.
I agree, but bringing this up in the context of Estradashpere is, well, fairly out of proportions to say the least.
One of their great abilities is to copy Mr. Bungle note by note. Of course nobody's 100% original but this...
I agree. They are probably ripping off Bungle more than they are Naked City. Why Spruance and other Bungle people hang around Estradasphere I have no idea, but I guess they liked to be kissed in their asses. Or maybe they are just really nice guys, who knows.
