So what's your concert schedule looking like?

[Dr. Medulla]

But every song seemed to have a saxophone solo or two that went on way too long.

I think horns should bring brief accents to the music for the most part, and long solos bore me.

That's my attitude toward solos in general. There are always exceptions, but solos tend to take me out of the song, leaving me to just endure things. A solo should be a bridge, a sensible connection between sections of the song, not something that kills the song's momentum.

It is a strangely jazzy holdover to continue into rock music, when you think about it. A solo makes sense in an atmosphere of experimentation and improvisation, but rock music - in its majoritarian form - is founded on a certain amount of regimentation and organisation when it comes to melodic forms.

That's why only the true greats like Dave can pull it off

More so, the solo is a celebration of the virtuoso. Rock n roll is supposed to be an amateur form—part of its appeal has always been the idea that anyone can do this. Certainly, some virtuoso talents have emerged within the form, but the premise of rock is that garage band ideal. Intellectually, that's something that's long annoyed me about metal—it embraces the superior skill premise. My heart and mind will always be with the punk populist position.

Everytime you say Dave, I will assume you mean David Lee Roth so that you seem even crazier.

Very interesting that out of those two Daves, that's the one that you think makes me seem even crazier.

I stand with my assertion.

My thoughts too. Id take DLR VH over DMB without hesitation.

Hello,

Just announced for Charlotte, NC AND Raleigh, NC - REO Speedwagon, Styx, and Loverboy. I really like North Carolina but there are glaring shortcomings.

Fun fact: I hate everyone who is looking forward to those shows.

Loverboy is Canada's Journey.

I would challenge anyone to stay awake throughout the triple bill.

I would be far too enraged to sleep if I somehow found myself there.

Most rock solos are pre-written.

Loverboy is Canada's Journey.

This is, I think, entirely accurate, right down to the very punchable dickhead singer.
