c-towns Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 With the Canadian dates out of the way and Jaimoe not giving the Toronto show a good review, I think we're in the clear, as long as they don't move to Canada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradm Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 Brad and Andrew Barr were both at MMJ last night, and Jim James thanked Brad from the stage (something about Brad helping out MMJ's other guitarist; a gear loan, maybe?).Aloha,Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Wooly Mammoth Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 BTW, am i the only person in Jambands.ca land that doesn't like this band?Not as long as I'm around here. I really don't get MMJ. I've tried listening to them a few times - I've streamed live performances and can't stand more than a few minutes. I don't know what it is. I was listening to a review of their new album on NPR's Fresh Air yesterday. Based on the description of the band (big Neil Young influence, southern rock, jamming in the lines of the GD and Phish...) and the review of the album, I would have expected to really dig these guys. Then they played bits of several tracks and I really didn't like anything at all that I heard. I find Jim James' voice irritating and I really didn't like the music being played behind him, but I don't know why exactly. My favourite jamband since the demise of the Dead is Widespread Panic, so I dig "southern rock" and that guitar sound. But that's not what I hear in MMJ. I have no explanation except that my ears don't like what they are hearing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've given them the benefit of my friends opinions and investigated to about the same degree as you. Just don't "get it" i guess.Also, why the fuck do people like Bright Eyes?!?!?! Dude is HORRIBLE!

Hartamophone Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 God, I hope not. If the change the official spelling to My Morning JACKET, I'm going to jump ship faster than George Bluth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patchoulia Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 After much consideration, I determined it could be sub-titled, "Music by Which to Slit One's Wrists"..but that's just me. Carry on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AD Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 Based on the description of the band (big Neil Young influence, southern rock, jamming in the lines of the GD and Phish...) there isn't any real 'jamming' in their music - extended guitar solos sometimes sure, but if you're looking for a JAM band, MMJ isn't one. sorry you don't like them. Oh well. if everyone liked them it would be hard for me to get tickets, so I guess it's a good thing in a way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've given them the benefit of my friends opinions and investigated to about the same degree as you. Just don't "get it" i guess. I wouldn't say that Umphrey's has a southern rock guitar sound. Do you just mean they are your favourite since the Dead?I haven't really given them much of a chance but, at this point, I am not a fan of MMJ. I like The Slip much better. I plan to give MMJ more listens before giving up on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
