The best way possible to end (for me) the Biggest fan game, with my third perfect score. Even if I haven't included it on my Top 250 (surely I will on the next update), "Red" is a longtime favourite of mine. And I can prove it. "Soldado de caballería," a song from the second EP of my band during the 1980s (released in 1983 when I was 18-years old) featured a guitar arrangement "inspired" by "Red" (well, in fact I directly stole it). On the intro, outro and chorus there is a descending line on the guitar combined with an ascending line of the keyboard exactly like the one on the intro and outro of "Red." But the most obvious stolen part is the guitar riff that has the same exact rhythm pattern as Fripp's (I'm talking about the B part of the Crimson song, the one beginning at 1:05). Nobody noticed it at the time because of the Ska-Punk backing, difficult to relate with King Crimson. But I should admit here the theft/homage.
You know it's not easy to research your band. Rubber band always brings back to another things... I'm guessing that was on purposeHonorio wrote: ↑Mon Dec 30, 2019 12:36 pm Nooo, that was long time ago. I released two EPS with Sade in 1983, an album and an EP in 1990 with Rubber and some collaborations with Gent del Desert in 2009, 2011 and 2015. You can find material from the first and last band on Spotify. Now I only play in Tweeters (a covers band) just for fun...
Thank you very much, Romain!
Does 'schwung' mean the same as in German (i.e. momentum)? Or is it some hip, happening slang I've missed out on?
It's German for sure, but it is used around here too as something like a propelling motion. 'Momentum' comes close I guess. For some reason I thought it had passed into English language as well, but I base this on absolutely no real life experience.
I suppose I could've worked it out from the T-Rex context, a lot of their glam-era songs have that same get up-and-go. On the plus side, that's two Dutch words in the space of two weeks I've learnt, you should start charging for the privilege!
Sorry for the late reply, Rob. Well, the reason got nothing to do with the game, which I like a lot. It's only a thing about priorities. I got little spare time and most of my listening time happens while I drive on my way to work. The first months of 2020 I prefer to dedicate my listening time to elaborate my own Top 50 albums and Top 100 songs of the 2010s
