organizedkaos Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 (edited) I've seen both done incredibly well, i've seen both done incredibly badly. Oddisee w/ live band was a highlight of gigs last year. They all worked really well together and friends who had gone not knowing much about Oddisee assumed they were always a band Roni Size w/ live orchestra was tonnes of fun. Again, the original musician collaborating with the additionals. Jeff Mills w/ orchestra was an interesting excercise in joining the dots between 20th century classical minimalism and techno minimalism (didn't actually see this one in person though, i heard it was maybe a bit less involving live because no-one quite knew what to do with themselves) Â Any of these "full orchestra covers XXX band or YYY genre classics" tend to be fairly crap, probably due to the usual issues of cover bands. It's a copy not a recreation. Basically turning blue monday into a MIDI reconstruction. Whereas generally with original person involved their writing a variation on their music with additional tools in the toolbox Edited February 1 by organizedkaos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think what Chest hates (and sorry for speaking for you) is live band applied to rap that was never made with that in mind, as it just sounds horrific. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Public Enemy perform with a live band and obviously a DJ and they’re incredible live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erm, fight the power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can just imagine how shit it would be having a live guitarist playing the riff on she watch channel zero. Apart from for bring the noise that sounds wholly unnecessary and bad.

Paid Members Sergio Mendacious Posted February 5 Paid Members Share Posted February 5 I watched episode 1 of the Ted TV show, and it's become an injoke around our house when we're bored: "Want to watch Ted episode 2?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted February 5 Moderators Share Posted February 5 As someone who watched the whole season of Kevin James's Nascar sitcom, no thanks. This bar is too low even for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
