just watching a live concert in Montreux on tv, and seriously, fuck all these hardcore and emo bands that "put everything into their performance", this guy seriously looks like he means what he's singing, he manages to be SO intense without throwing himself about, especially on the slower more epic songs.

what a guy

and his band is full of the

funkiest fuckers i've ever seen.


My favourite Marvin story

When recording one of his albums (I forget which just now) the producer looked down at the desk. All the dials for the vocals had the needle pinging up and down into the red REALLY LOUD ZONE. Producer looks up through the glass.....can't see Marvin. Stands up. Marvin lying on the floor stretched out, eyes close wailing on the song. Voice so good that he could lie down and still break the machinery.
That's just a techy story, you are right but he feels/conveys the feeling of the song so well.


down on his knees

sweating like a fat lass at a disco, just singing like it's the end of the world, it's crazy to watch.


Is he also

wearing a seriously fly suit? With ruffles? Open?


yeah

a red jacket with musical notes on the back, and ruffles shirt, seen it?


I've seen it cut up into

individual songs for various tv shows. If the rest of it is as good as those: FLAWLESS VICTORY.


marvin lovers

should look out for the mark rapson edit of heard it through the grapevine coming soon. not being flippant by saying it actually improves on the original.


I'm wondering

how adding "the ronson beat" and "the ronson horn sound" (he only has one of each) is gonna improve this song


a hint:

it isn't


for fuck sake,

who's worse, the ronson lovers or haters? i said 'rapson', not 'ronson'. reminds me of the paediatrician that got beat up by a mob because they couldn't tell the difference between that and a paedophile. no, he mends the children, not abuses them, you idiots. oh yeah, i'm not calling ronson a peadophile if you're confused.
