The Blur Thread

[Lizzybear]

On the album Damon played guitar. Dave played guitar on On the Way to the Club though. When they performed live Damon played guitar and Simon Tong from The Verve also played guitar for live shows.

Do you have a full recording of the Hyde Park gig? I'd so love to have it!

Btw, I watched NDLTR AGAIN, and I still can't find you >.< I think you're gonna have to circle your face or something xD

You mean the DVD not the audio file? Well I'll try do so something asap :)

And I'm not going to tell you when you can see me :P. But here a pic to prove that I was there http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3354784&l=e1d18166e6&id=596644512 :smug:

Liz I love you, you're like a Blur bible or something :wacky:

 

Are Damon's guitar skills near as good as Graham's? I mean, he can't play guitar like a god in addition to everything else... or can he? D:

Yes, the DVD, where you can see Damon almost crying and stuff <3

 

Haha thanks for the hint! Damn you, gonna have to watch it again! :tongue:

 

 

Wow, I just discovered the "To the End" version with Francoise Hardy, and Damon f*cking sings in french!! That's too much to handle seriously :bomb:

[Lizzybear]

LOOOOL I may have to sig that, "a blur bible" hahahaha I'm really not, but I do like the sound of that :P

 

 

Well you've heard Think Tank, did the guitar sound good enough to you? Damon is good on guitar, there isn't an instrument he can't play. But compared to Graham..? No because Gra is one of the best post-punk guitarists ever.

 

Yes, the singing in French :sweatdrop: MELTS A FLDASJFLKJDSl

[Ms Magpie]

That's why it kind of hurts to listen to Think Tank... because there's no Graham :sad:

 

Blur Bible :laugh3:

 

 

Btw Louise, is it ok if I add you on fb?

[loudefix]

Yes, the singing in French :sweatdrop: MELTS A FLDASJFLKJDSl

I will not contradict the Bible.

So :sweatdrop::sweatdrop:

Btw Louise, is it ok if I add you on fb?

Yes of course :nice:

Haha it's okay, no one is gonna attack me for saying that :tongue:

At least the Blur bible of Coldplaying hehe

 

Wow, I'm gonna listen to it again, but some guitar riffs are so good :O And yes Graham is a fucking guitar god, plus he can do crazy ass jumps while playing :}

 

The spazzing is totally appropriate here NKLFHKJDFLQKS!

In other news, I love it when Graham replies to Stephen Fry's tweets. :laugh4:

[Lizzybear]

That movie made me fall in love with them. Before I even really knew about Blur, I just remember crying when Damon and Graham talk about him trying to jump out of that window in 1995 and how Damon saved his life. I just oh my creys :bigcry::heart::bigcry:
