“Freddie Mercury is a good singer…” 😐😑😐😑😑😐😑😐
The podcast discussion on storytelling sounds fascinating. I'll definitely check out Tim O'Brien's book and The Penguin movie.
it does not suck
100% truth. The director is one of those feminist, pompous, artsy fartsy types. Don't get me wrong, I love art, and she covers important issues, but there's a windbag narcissistic aura about her. You know the type, the I am woman, hear me roar through my vintage everything while I articulate myself in such a way that is just too deep for most to understand, type. Ugh
RTR
Always and forever!
You just hit on exactly why I adore Wes so much. It's a movie, & he makes no attempt to disguise that in any way, shape or form. In fact, he fully dives into it. Yet, the emotional context is genuine, heartfelt & profound.
@@Neo-Midgar Thank you!
Yesss!! I fucking hate Don’t Stop Believin’! I literally heard it once at a Chinese buffet, I’m not kidding!
It's so horrible.
WHATCHA GONNA DO? WHEN DA BUDUDU RUNS WILD ON YOU!!!
I wouldnt be surprised if Larys at least understands it, even if he doesnt speak it

Great series , development of characters , history , folk tales , story line was superb
Same story diff people.. Same shit diff toilet
@@PARADOX1CAL1 Totally can see that argument, though this one seems more like the throne was fine until this generation came along and ‘Game Of Thrones’ seemed more to be about the throne being in tatters until a new generation comes.

Shout out to the Love's on 65. Stop by damn near every time I leave Huntsville.
@@druidcitycomic5426 Hell yeah, Jeremy! You know that’s right!
This movie sucks ass.
Interesting thoughts, thanks ...everything I read seems to indicate neither Disney, Lucasfilm or the actors were content on the L&M set...that Kasdan was sent in to find out what was going on. Apparently, and this was supported by many of the actors, L&M were trying to go for a loose, hip, almost improvised vibe...but the actors felt more untethered, unfocused: indeed, the acting coach for AE was specifically because he wanted to find a way to portray something more like a what a young Harrison Ford might be like and L&M were not helpful in that regard, giving him little direction to achieve that and Eirenreich felt it was important. Plus, as Lucasfilm started looking at the dailies with serious intent...they saw L&M were going more for a comedy vibe (think more like 21 Jump Street, Starsky & Hutch or Land If The Lost, purportedly) and that wasn't the film they set out to make. With the cast feeling adrift and the shot stuff not matching the swashbuckling adventure vibe they hoped for...they made the change. As a guy who is the an older version of the kid who sat in a movie theater in 1977, awed at what he'd seen...I know I wasn't looking for a Solo movie that was a hip comedy: I'd had my fill of childhood heroes remade as sarcastic dummies through various remakes...I wanted, hoped for a full on Han Solo adventure...and since virtually every hero gets an origin movie, this was it. I found the movie fun as all heck, loved it when I saw it in the theaters, it continues to grow in stature with each viewing. I wanted a SW tale that brought the fun, excitement and derring do the first 3 films did so well and, for me, Solo delivers it in spades ! I absolutely hate that the fools were able to social media this thing to death so it never got the chance to shine at the box office because it's a really good SW adventure. Thanks for sharing your thoughts
It's mentioned in Scar Tissue that John did the infamous Under the Bridge live play on purpose. He hated being in the band back then.
When your song has been reduced to background noise at a baseball stadium after the home-plate umpire is injured by a foul tip, you truly have reached the bottom of the barrel.
Great point.
"Moves like Jagger" by Maroon 5 deserves a treatment
Sorry for your loss
A genius once pointed out "I'm still trying to figure out what black bandanas and sweet Louisiana have to do with each other"
I'm surprised to learn that a shittier white Hendrix was so against black people
They picked Alabama for the syllables
Good episode - the right amount of Hetfield
This pathetic pandering attempt to induce nostalgia is the audio equivalent of a vomit comet. Kudos to Bob Seger for giving wedding DJs everywhere a 3 minute breather whenever they play this to clear off the dance floor. Pete Seeger probably rolls in his grave everytime someone thinks he wrote this
Herbie Herbert sounds like the fake name I'd come up with if i got pulled over by the cops after a 12 hour shift at Chuck E. Cheese... Don't Stop Believing is overplayed but IMO doesn't suck because of vocal skill and sweet guitar solo. Put it in a pile with Sweet Home Alabama, Hotel California, Wonderwall...
Hello there, I have been following your UA-cam channel very well. Your channel video topic and quality are very good. You can take your channel further if you want. But there are some important issues in your channel which will not grow your channel easily if not solved, and your channel SEO score is absolutely a little.
Oh my fucking god, our shit really is SO GOOD! Finally! Someone said it besides us! Abdur, is that you??
@@thealabamatake yes My friend
Nothing better than watching a middle aged man shoot awkward jump shots in an Eddie Bauer vest while country rapping about a suburban restaurant chain that is best avoided.
This is so good, we’re making you a guest on the next episode.
@@thealabamatake deal , but only if the song really sucks
@@leswhynin913 Oh, you know it will!
@@thealabamatakemay I humbly suggest "Players" by Coi Leray
@@leswhynin913 Never heard it, and am now afraid to do so!
How will your video go viral if you don't optimize the video SEO properly, SEO is very important for video virality. To increase your views and subscribers, use SEO to keep your videos first on UA-cam
God damn. How?!? How?!? It’s this shit that keeps me up at night!
Dear Sir I saw your channel well. I saw and understood. Your video's SEO score is very low. Zero percent. No video keywords. No ranking tags. Title Description Shot. Due to which the video is not going viral. Not getting enough views subscribers. I can work if you allow. Am I a professional UA-cam expert?
Oh, dear sir! How could it be! We are in distress! Send reinforcements, and do it quickly!
Beyond horrific
Hi sir
Great Sir
Great
Whatever happened to this song sucks UA-cam channel I miss seeing someone roast mainstream music
They’re just on a season break! They have plans to return!
Bray Wyatt is dead
Objectively correct opinion
The guys at This Song Sucks agree! (And so do we, honestly.)
@@thealabamatake Are they still making podcasts? It's been a hot minute since the last This Song Sucks episode.
@@Emper0rH0rdeThey are in between seasons and the break is taking longer than expected, but they’ll be back. No date has been set yet. I’ll definitely relay the info to Hayden and Josh.
All his songs sound like this, but worse. This is actually his best song. All he does is talk about all the women he has different places in all of his songs.
This isn’t the least surprising.
there's a lot of hidden secrets that are quick frames, for instance in the final episode when they go to Abshir's house the bearded man in the background seeming has no mouth when you look at the frame. lots of random details to think about.
Whoa! That’s intense! What to make of that?
@@thealabamatake no idea, it's clear everything is supposed to be really ambiguous. It's probably just an additional thing added so that we could also maybe attribute the ending curse to abshir and his daughter's. Really freaky image though
@@colinernest3925 That’s fascinating. Thanks for sharing.

OMFG I'm sitting here having to learn this GD song for a wedding I'm playing tomorrow - I F'N HATED this song when it was out on the MF radio, and I still F'N HATE this song. I found your video because I searched "Mambo #5 sucks" and I'm glad to know I'm not alone. Have you guys seen 2005's "Idiocracy"? It's not fiction, it's a DOCUMENTARY...
Hilarious!
Your video is very insightful
Such a horrific song
All your contacts are great I have seen your UA-cam channel very nice thanks
VERY NICE!
