dude,thats steevie..
bottom line..


No it\'s not Freddie. It is just Steve getting excited and having little self control. He is not by nature an asshole w/ little regard for those around him. He is just an excitable guy that LOVES to whistle. That\'s cool but one has to realize self control does not just apply to drinking and drugs. It also is nice in social contexts such as a concert w/ other people wanting to hear a band and not some happy whistler.


relax!

long live the whistle!!! part of the reason i have become so absorbed by this band\'s music is the escapism and freedumb associated whilst enjoying it (especially in a live setting)... this whole concept FORCES some of us to loose our shit as a natural progression. this may mean a hoot and a holler or a whistle here and there.. it also may come in the form of  some sweaty dreads spitting there venom towards you while my body contorts and fishes out uncontrollably as if I just hit a balloon of some medical (YUK!) I apologize to anyone whose feet I\'ve stepped on clothes I\'ve smothered in booze or any other disturbance one may find as an audience member but that shit isn\'t gonna stop as long as the face ownage will continue...
and it isn\'t like the screaming and whistles at phish/gd shows were treated in such a negatively connotated manner.. grow up or go home... punk\'s not dead mother fucker....

Yeah your stomping around does not affect recordings so much though. Also how can you compare the Bfast crowd to Phish/GD crowd in this case? Come on Gencs whistle would just be drowned out in the sheer #\'s and the music. The problem is size of venue & sound system vs Gencs amazing whistling ability. The reason whistlers etc were not noticed as much @ shows is you could move away from them! Where the hell are you gonna go @ a Bfast show? He can be heard above and OVER the music that is a problem.

i think you are missing my point here.  I do not see how at a gd/phish show someone is able to "move away" from the audible distractions.. this my friend was everywhere it was the only real physical acknowledgement of the energy that was being mutually transpired from musicians to crowd and vice versa (besides people getting down of course :) )..I find that a similar situation has been developped with PB and thier crowds over the years..... and does stevie\'s whistle really drown out the music?? that is just plain nutso...

I understand completely your point. I am saying that in the small venues The Bfast now play the whistling does interupt the music. At least on disc. I totally agree that @ shows it is less noticable as there are other whoops and hollers many not coming even close in decibel level to the whistling. I found I moved away from Steve when he began to whistle yet I also remember attempting to hear it as a beacon @ moe.down. It was of course drowned out there so useless as a beacon.

Oh sweetie. I am in the best mood. Just because I argue a point does not mean I\'m angry. I can argue/debate a point all day and have a blast. No it won\'t stop and if it becomes a staple on discs then I guess I will not trade discs that have this annoyance on it. It is his choice to be heard and it is my choice not to heap that on others not expecting it. Simple as that.

Or better yet he mentioned on the board that he will be viewing shows in front of SAVE. I say we just have dobz crank the Bass AMP onstage and drown it out. That way everybody wins. More Ron and Less whistler. :)


You\'re talking about sound on opposite ends of the frequency spectrum.  There\'s no way, bass bombs could cover up the schrill girlish shreaks that Genc\'s produces.


Well we could always have Ron just sing extra loud the next time they cover Tom Sawyer, I think the whistle and Tom Sawyer are pretty equal on the frequency spectrum ;)

picture it.  Steve in his typical post show condition (ie soaked), yet, in his mouth, a pulp fiction style ballgag.

Album Cover?
