Members csm Posted June 28, 2011 Members Share Posted June 28, 2011 It IS a great song and possibly my own favourite from their repertoire. The second half of your assertion is, however, seriously open to question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Flogger59 Posted June 28, 2011 Members Share Posted June 28, 2011 It takes a while to get started, then it doesn't go any where. I was waiting for the elegaic chorus, but it never came. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members soundcreation Posted June 28, 2011 Members Share Posted June 28, 2011 I like that one. Nice. This one is still my favorite dead song though.....but I'm hardly and expert. The little main lick in this song is just so brilliant in my opinion... [video=youtube;uSWfgpfN3qU] One thing though...I really wish they would have worked harder on their singing....it's terribly off key... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Special J Posted June 28, 2011 Members Share Posted June 28, 2011 Whatever you think of their music, it's hard to deny that they commanded one of the most dedicated fan-bases in rock and roll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bsman Posted June 28, 2011 Members Share Posted June 28, 2011 Friend of the devil is one of the best acoustic rock numbers. I agree Jerry Garcia should have shut his yap and let Bob Weir and Pigpen do more of the singing, but let's face it: Dylan doesn't possess the world's greatest set of pipes either, and nobody complains too much about him... NEway -- this song is excellent because it sounds great solo, or with pretty much any assemblage of instruments you can name. I've played it backed by everything from mandolins, to ukuleles to accordions, and it always works! BTW -- I've always thought of the GD as sort of the "anti-metal", because not only is their music anathema to the cookie-monster crowd, but it kills them that the Dead were using the morbid graphics WAYYYYY before metal was ever conceived.

Members ozzeh Posted June 28, 2011 Members Share Posted June 28, 2011 I dont know about all that, Court in the Act is one of my fav cds ever and for '83, wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy ahead of it's time; Though technically speaking, there are a ton of awesome NWOBHM bands! Though I do suppose something by Priest should be at the top of the list probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members foppy Posted June 28, 2011 Members Share Posted June 28, 2011 Why? Just didn't think your taste ran that way, thought you liked heavier stuff. As for myself, I grew up in the SF Bay Area in the 1970s. Any time a Grateful Dead song comes on, I get a queasy feeling even before I recognize what it is.

Members vanderwaal Posted June 28, 2011 Members Share Posted June 28, 2011 i tend to lean more towards both "Box of Rain" and "Brokendown Palace" both also from American Beauty but "Friend of the Devil" is good too. American Beauty is, by far, their best record. As far as "greatest American band..." ehhh, not in my estimation but i can understand their allure.

Priest were hardly NWOBHM, the list is mostly topped by Diamond Head, Trespass and Angel Witch and ultimately Maiden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members curseoftruth Posted June 28, 2011 Members Share Posted June 28, 2011 What did the Deadhead say when they got out of rehab? Damn they suck! I'm no fan and I find their stuff often goes nowhere and is pointless, but I will tip my hat to Garcia and really the whole band - they were some great players. I just didn't really like what they played. I chalk it up to my first guitar teacher when I was 12 in 1977, he was a huge dead head hippie. I remember having to learn songs from Terrapin Station (which was brand new I think and he learned the whole damn album lol - yeah major dead freak) and all I wanted to learn at that time was Aerosmith, Rush, and Led Zeppelin songs! I've grown to appreciate them more over the years but I still don't consider myself much of a fan. When I go to that roots/folk/country rock stuff, I prefer The Band for instance, yeah different I know but same ballpark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
