Sorry joc & fred... MMW is weak. No vocals, NO GUITAR, and worst of all, a stand-up bass... what a fucking tool. You can\'t be in a rock band with a stand-up bass! Rock, jazz, whatever you want to call them... they are monotanus and boring... a few rungs on the ladder below Particle, and way below STS9.
I band needs vocals and GUITAR to be good? That\'s the most absurd thing I have heard all week. So you think jazz sucks then? (When there is no guitar or vocals?)
Stand-up bass = TOOL? How can you not hear how much deep, thick sound a stand-up bass has sometimes, and sometimes it can be so gentle.... How can its resonance not sound beautiful to you? And, how can you not appreciate the skill it takes to play one? Not to mention making a stand-up sound funky, which is no easy feat.
Monotonous= playing the same thing over and over and over. Lack of variety. MMW does nto fit this description, IMO.
MMW are not a rock band.
How can they be below STS9? I hope you are not referring to skill as musicians, because if you are, I would have to say that you have no ear for talent. I can understand if it\'s not your thing, but if you really think that STS9 and Particle are better MUSICIANS than MMW... well...
