XTC

I'm amused as hell that you still care enough to respond to 11 pages. Do expect me to have an epiphany and come to my senses somehow? I get to talk about my favorite band....what do you guys get out of it? Talk about continuing to feed the trolls!

Put your money where your mouth is, I'll give you some tunes, then post yourself playing them on Youtube. Talk is cheap, you fraud.

I guess I am just going to have to hurt your feelings.....YOU ARE A NOBODY! YOUR OPINION ABOUT THE BASS PLAYING OF A SIGNED ARTIST IS MEANINGLESS! Sorry to shout...

You need better ears, plain and simple. That Rundgren even agreed to work with them in the first place should be a giant neon sign over your head and speak volumes to you. God you are dense and lack depth...

Tell ya what crackerjack, I'll post 5 songs for you if you post yourself playing them on Youtube. Why don't you listen to your own community? Go to your bass forums and mention Moulding.. You still have not listed your influences like I asked you to. My God, for a bunch of people who think that they hate XTC, you sure refuse to just let this thread die away. No matter, keep it coming! More exposure for my Faves!

Yep, I understood your point perfectly Chef. You said that XTC is an terrible product, questioning their musicianship, and then you went on to post footage video that was clearly meant for the enjoyment of hardcore XTC fans only. GG then sunk your argument for you, blame him not me. The fact is, XTC is very respected in the only circles that matter....the circle of other "signed" artists, something that you and KRC know nothing about.

FLOP!

Gosh, so I really need the opinion of a third-rate flop with 25 years of experience under his belt? Nah, I think I would rather rely on the opinions of folks who have...you know...accomplished something besides playing in a bar band their whole lives. Some of you are a riot!

Refer to earlier reponse...

Brilliant!

You are not worth the keystrokes frankly, GG and Chef are light years beyond you in intellect ,so stop butting in.

I do not ram anything, I asked them to do me a favor and NOT listen. They are the ones who insist on keeping this thread alive! They keep pulling quotes and listening to XTC themselves, THEY are the ones who can't let it go. All in all very flattering.

Do your own research boob. This is not "cuttin' heads", why don't you start by naming your own influences so that I have a point of reference. No single person is "the greatest", Colin is extremely "creative". If you were worth your salt as a rock bassist you would already be very familiar with his work. He is iconic. You have a google button put it to good use...

Chef is going to LOVE this one......

Get a grip on reality you idiot, I have plenty of ass chew left over for you too if you'd care to go a few rounds.

Chef man, you are scream! A total scab picker who battles to the bitter end...when others let a thread quietly die, you are just beginning to carry the flag. You have helped me wave that flag for XTC for about six pages now, and for that I thank you. I held out playing the "Beatle card" because I had a feeling what your answer would be... I love boys like you who say "my band could have played circles around those guys"--uh...huh. Your ignorance is showing. Yep! I'm positive that you could have written something that would make a label hang on to you for a couple of decades. Just because you don't like something, that doesn't mean it is garbage. Sorry but when you posted that clip, I knew I was going to have to yank your fat behind out onto the carpet. Bottom line, you started this whole thing by implying that XTC could not hold a guitar properly, your buddy GG doomed your argument by posting the writeup that he did. Guess what? Profesional opinion says: XTC-1 Chef-0 Game over for you.

Can we all at least be friends on Sundays during the fall?????

Haha!!!!!!!!!!! In your wet dreams maybe! I guess that is why you guys got signed to Geffen records then? Lets just get down to brass tacks shall we Jim? You don't like the Beatles much either do you Jim? What do you have against the British my man? Don't care for the humor, the wit? What is up with you?

You answered your own question. Before you know it, you will be singing "Towers of London" at the top of your voice while vacuuming in your underwear...

I swear if you use that "middling" term one more time........ ......and once more for you my reading impaired friend: Art is not a math equation! Do you understand the meaning of the term hyperbole??? People employ it everyday, like when you say "man, this is the best beer" to proclaim your immediate satisfaction with something that is at hand. Learn, terms! "literal Annie"!!!!!! The words you posted did not make your case, they were the sword on which you fell.

True not you...still, I have to ask "would you, could you on a boat? With a goat..."

Gosh you guys sure do backtrack mighty fast, before>>> it was XTC sounds like someone skinning a dead cat and need studio tricks to be a real band....whut,whut,whut? Oh so they are not the most inept pieces of garbage to ever lift an instrument? You don't say? Chef Jim intentionally posts the most damning clip that casts them in the worst light but your wonderful guidebook sure has some rather complimentary things to say. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Chef I only have one question for you: Would you, could you...in a box? With a fox?

Let me simplify it for you: Music and (art) in general are not mathematical equations that can be solved, so you are no more qualified than I am to speculate about whether or not they are the greatest band of all time. It is a conundrum that cannot be solved, thus neither one of us can ever be right or wrong . Next point: hyperbole on my part about the suggestion that anyone can be the greatest. Now go out there and procure yourself some XTC young man! I can tell that your curiosity has gotten the better of you.

Wow, I'm flattered that you took the time...but since you asked and off the top of my head: Sarah Mclachlan Crash Test Dummies Ruben Blades All covered XTC songs Do you still think these guys are inept musicians after your wonderful research?
