The Davies brothers used to beat the crap out of each other all the time.

Your first picture didn't show up and I'm not that familiar with the Bee Gee's history.  But yeah, the Davies bros are the gold standard for dysfunctional, yet very successful brothers in a band.

Did they really have rocky relationship?  I imagine there was a lot of coke involved.

their singing style came from a childhood game where they would punch each other in the nuts.

also: that troll who introduced pavement is apparently infamous for giving them a similar introduction in the 90s.

1. i wasn't close enough to see body language
2. the thing I saw had a longer introduction where he just seemed like a dick (i used to be a DJ, maybe you've heard of me, we were the coolest station around back then, blah blah) and didn't immediately start in on the really over-the-top stuff.
I mean, after a bit I could tell he was trying to get a rise out of the crowd. I just didn't get what the point was.

The lyrics seem pretty standard/boring, and yet I can't help but love the chorus.

anyone into hip-hop? I want to like it, but I can never get past Wu-Tang Clan and Fear of a Black Planet. When I am in a hip-hop mood I listen to those two things, and then I am satisfied.

i like the idea of hip hop more than i like most things that fall into the category.  its not as easy to find the cultural expressions because the thugs and major-label people get most of the attention.  i dig:

fatlip
aesop rock
krs one

i hear good things about:

mf doom
atmosphere(his music isnt for me, though)
dead prez
whole wheat bread

I want to like hip hop, mainly because I never want to be one of those old people that are assholes about what the kids are listening to.  They are almost as annoying as most kids that think music was invented the day they were born, or more correctly about 10-12 years after they were born.

But mostly I don't like too much hip hop.  I kinda got into the Roots for awhile.  There was a Wyclef album that I really enjoyed.  Some Beastie Boys stuff I like.  Snoop is pretty cool, I even saw him perform once (opened for RHCP), but in all honesty the only song of his I could name is Gin and Juice.  And of course I like a lot of the classic tracks such as Baby Got Back, Funky Cold Medina, etc...

I like how hip hop has become "real music" using instruments and shit and not just scratching on a turntable or whatever.  See, that last sentence totally reads like some old asshole talking about what the kids are listening to... Anyway, I've seen some hip hop acts on television in more recent times and thought the bands were fuck*ng hotter than hell.  The only drawback I could find was the MC him or herself.  You got this shit hot band jamming they ass off with this idiot spitting out a bunch of bs about guns and cars and women.  Hip hop has really evolved into an aggressive form of R&B with the MC a vestigial element held over from earlier times.

So yeah, I'm not a big fan of hip hop, but I'm not against it either.  And I'm certainly not one of those old assholes that is likely to say something such as "I love all kinds of music except rap.  I HATE rap."

I have Wu Tang Forever, I should give it a listen to see if it still bores me.  I also recently got AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted.  Some of that sounded kinda interesting.  But I've only listened to a couple of tracks.

Hip hop was alive for years, but now it is officially dead.  It's too late to start getting into it, guys, it's all over.  Eminem just released the last relevant hip hop album and that caps it all off.
