think of the revenue those musicians have lost now; they've no iconic signature guitars like rory gallagher had, which can be reproduced and sold at great cost to middle aged men.

god, remember Mitski

for someone so bland as Phoebe Bridgers, its amazing the amount of talk there is about her in my little social media bubble. I guess its the horn factor.

took me a few moments there to work out if that person was cancelling Phoebe Bridgers or the guy complaining about Phoebe Bridgers

I'm just glad that this thread is back to complaining about stupide shit people do on twitter and has moved on from trying to make me understand the stock market.

 

[therealjohnny]

Fuck twitter

I think what's annoyed me the most is that the monitor she was smashing the guitar off was a prop, purpose built to be smashed. It's that little extra layer of contrivance that means I'll dismiss her music forever.. Sorry , Phoebe....

Everyone knows SNL is a comedy skit show with like a script and a writing team and all right?

This is the interesting conversation I was alluding to. It's like when I saw Janelle Monae with only guitar, bass, and drums; with a horn section; and with a horn and string section, and every single time it sounded precisely the same. It speaks to what do people actually want from live performance? An actual live performance or the performance of a live performance? Smashing a guitar on tv in 2021 has several layers of irony, tradition, and gif-able moment all wrapped up together.

She's an "alt" songwriter who also aspires to the absolute blandest of corporate songwriting from 1999, presumably because that was a time when people still actually experienced music together, as opposed to algorithmically determined specifically for you and no one else.

In existential terms the guitar is a prop in the art of making music. You have to look through the lens of the guitar being some kind of default pre existent entity for that to be a coherent sentence.

Theatre occurring on a stage?!?!? Perish the thought!

 

[Cormcolash]

He's saying that the guitar smashing thing was even old hat when punks did it, as Pete Townshend and Hendrix and probably loads of less high profile musicians had done it years earlier

He's not wrong

Did you see her guitar smashing performance? It's hilarious, she can barely even lift the thing in the air.

 

[Cormcolash]

I think there's an interesting discussion to be had about staging smashing guitars and the like


but... well if you want fresh and exciting then why are you watching SNL?

I thought the whole performance was some pretty good comedy anyway
