So, I just found out what 'shoegaze' is[views:8670][posts:50]__________________________________________ [Aug 24,2009 9:48pm - MillenialKingdom ""] And the only band I know with that description is Jesu. What am I missing? |
| _____________________________ [Aug 24,2009 9:54pm - ZJD ""] you're missing enough that i would wait before claiming to have found out what shoegaze is because jesu is far from representative. a record you will probably hate that is totally essential to learning about the genre is my bloody valentine's loveless and that's probably where you should start. |
| _________________________________ [Aug 24,2009 9:58pm - MikeOv ""] who would hate that album? it rules. |
| _____________________________ [Aug 24,2009 9:58pm - ZJD ""] people on metal messageboards who hate everything. |

| _______________________________________ [Aug 24,2009 10:12pm - the_reverend ""] loveless is love. |
| _______________________________________ [Aug 24,2009 10:13pm - the_reverend ""] and i dont think i would ever call jesu shoegaze. |
| ___________________________________________ [Aug 24,2009 10:15pm - MillenialKingdom ""] I didn't call them that, I've just heard that decription of them. |
| _____________________________________ [Aug 24,2009 10:16pm - RichHorror ""] Whoever calls them that is a retard and doesn't know anything about music. My Bloody Valentine is pretty much synonymous with shoegaze, IMO. |

| ______________________________________ [Aug 25,2009 9:39am - martinswork ""] Boards of Canada cites My Bloody Valentine as an influence. |
| ______________________________ [Aug 25,2009 9:40am - blue ""] As does deftones. Don't make em shoegaze. |
| ______________________________________ [Aug 25,2009 9:41am - martinswork ""] I wasn't saying BoC is shoegaze lawl. But My Bloody Valentine is... right? Plus shoegaze got its name because the musicians were so drugged out they gazed at their shoes during performances. |
| ______________________________________ [Aug 25,2009 9:54am - Aril mobile ""] Just listen to ride - nowhere |
| ______________________________________ [Aug 25,2009 9:54am - the_reverend ""] wrong martins. they didn't stand there cause they were drugged out. They stood there and stared at their shoes cause they were awkward on stage. |
| _______________________________________ [Aug 25,2009 10:38am - martinswork ""] Same difference. |
| _______________________________________ [Aug 25,2009 10:38am - the_reverend ""] no, drugs give you super confidence ad super strength. that's why the are awesome. |
| _______________________________ [Aug 25,2009 10:39am - Yeti ""] actually they had so many effects pedals that they were always looking down fiddling with them and it looked like they were gazing at their shoes. |
| _______________________________________ [Aug 25,2009 10:40am - martinswork ""] It's because they were ashamed of their double chins. |

| _______________________________________ [Aug 25,2009 11:37am - martinswork ""] Whatever, they gazed at their shoes. |
| _______________________________________ [Aug 25,2009 10:41pm - the_reverend ""] gaze at their shoes or poops their pants and it rolls down to their shoe? |
| _______________________________________ [Aug 25,2009 10:47pm - the_reverend ""] I loved listening to MBV last night. |
