The bassist is tenacious in his quest to find the beat

Actually I'm not sure if you people are joking. This band is one of my favorite Avant-Garde-style Prog Rock bands. Notice how they manage to stay close with the polyrhythmics (the guitarist plays a quarter note before the bassist and changes to higher tempo in the solo, the drummer and rhythm guitarist play in 7/8 and 9/8 for each two bars, etc), and every bar the time signature changes (4/4 in the first bar but then suddenly 15/16, 5/4, 33/32, 13/16 and so on, respectively). The singer also adds psychedelia to the song by singing also the delay vocals. The backing vocals in the second verse are changed to make fascinating dissonance with the dominant key. Also notice that the drummer uses only the ride cymbal throughout the song, which shows his technical virtuoso abilities. After the solo, the singer modulates his singing 3/4-step up, which makes reference to arab music, but the band stays the same. Truly, I find these guys so pioneering, they're like 20 years ahead of their time.

I wanna see them take a shot at Zappa's "The balck page".

They sound like they practice by themselves much more than as a group. A couple group sessions would help them find their groove.

Uhhhh, no.
They are utterly lost and have zero talent and or experience. This is not a case of a group of musicians who just aren't yet familiar with one another.
I am not saying that practice together isn't helpful, even with experienced musicians, but this is a case of a group of dudes who either first picked up an instrument a few days ago or have been "playing" longer, but are utterly devoid of talent.
There is one more possible explanation. They aren't that bad and are faking it for a youtube video.
If this is the case, rack them! They have far more hits than videos with very talented players.

Smackie, instead of playing "the worst songs from the best bands," reverse it.
Some night play the best songs from the shittiest bands.
Would be interesting.
What defines a shitty band?
Metal, or Canadian, would be a good start.
Shitty crosses all genres.
Of course some genres do seem to attract shitty more than others.

I hope Rush's tour bus does donuts on your front yard, then leaks transmission fluid everywhere...then Geddy Lee personally steps out and gives you the finger...and Alex and Neil throw your tacky lawn furniture into your pool.

Just because you're Canadian doesn't exactly mean that Rush likes you. :x
It's a "family" thing.
Everyone up here is related to each other.

You're Canadian?
Tell me something. Did the Canadian government really ban a movie?
Just recently I heard they banned the film "Unplanned". Which made it impossible for theaters to get the film.
You realize that I've been 100% correct all along.
Fascism is intrinsically intertwined with socialism and communism.
Fascism is government control by definition.
This march toward government control has been in the works for decades.
Ultimately, if you are a registered Democrat today, whether you like it or not, you are a government control socialist.
The left firmly controls that party.
If the government can ban a movie, they can ban anything.
In European countries, you have to be careful about what you say.
There is no bill of rights like we enjoy here.
Any Democrats in this place want to deny that your party is controlled by the left? That the goal of the left is indeed centralized government control?
Beto O'Rourke committed political suicide by attacking the bill of rights and our founding principles. The rest of your left wing field running for president are lock step with Beto's views,
But won't openly admit it or they'd be out of the race too.
Basically, your left wing socialist party is one giant quagmire, a sham. A mockery of a scam foisted upon the low IQ masses.
'
The elites are the ruling class.
The media and press are their propaganda arms. And the school system indoctrinates the next generation into good little socialists without the critical thinking needed to raise questions and concerns.
Good night and good luck.

So, essentially, everything you don't like (or understand) you define as "socialism"...
You type so much, yet explain so little.
If you're clinically depressed, try therapy. Trying to define yourself through negation ultimately leaves you negative.
Honestly, you just come across as lonely. That's okay, we're all on this board for our own reasons.

I started out explaining the fact that the government of Canada had banned a movie.
The socialist government actually banned a movie.
Now tell me how that's not fascist?
You seem to be confused.
Liberty, tyranny, fascism, etc.
It's 2019, and a socialist government to our north just banned a freakin' movie for christ's sake.
What's next? A book or an album they don't like?

I remember back around 10 years ago or so, Phibes had mentioned in the now private and exclusive Igloo Spin Zone forum that he had discovered he was adopted...and that he had reason to believe Joni Mitchell was his mom, who put him up for adoption. He said he was going to hire a private investigator and go through hospital records and such.
Phibes, whatever happened with that? Did you end up going forward with this? Is Joni your birth mom?
:(

Believe she got knocked up by Dave Clark during a European tour about 9 months before he was born.

Yeah, Jaco was all right, but can he switch up time the way that dude does on the floyd cover? The fact that he was utterly unaware of these subtle changes in time, is irrelevant.
One of the youtube comments brought this up. They said how it would be impossible to accurately reproduce their level of suck.
