Boy, i totally put the comma in the wrong place when i read the topic of this thread.

“Man, fuck remixes” is way different than “Man fuck, remixes.

There’s this thing about our brains that takes a lot of training to undo, it’s called confirmation bias. Basically it’s easier for our brains to process information that is familiar to us.  And information can be anything. Do you know why people will sit in the same seats at lunch or at a bar or wherever they frequent that doesn’t have assigned seating? Because sitting a new place makes their brains work harder.
If you drive, you tend to take the same routes even though the time difference is null.
When you drive somewhere new and you turn the radio down to focus, it’s because there’s too much information going on in your brain at once.
This influences all aspects of your life without you even realizing it. From the music you listen to, to the languages you speak, to your politics and religion and sex life and everything else.
The simple answer to your question of why do people like remixes? Because they are familiar enough without being exactly the same as previous information. You can listen to it, be stimulated, and then keep listening to it until it becomes the dominant information in your brain. 
You gotta let people like what they’re gonna like. For whatever reason, you’ve tapped into a brainwave that’s different from your peers. You are curious and creative and looking to experience something different. That’s why the shit is underground. It’s rejecting the cookie cutter, lazy, formulaic drivel. 
I spent a lot of years getting angry that people didn’t like the cool shit I was into and it doesn’t go anywhere. You’re better off letting them have theirs and celebrating your own shit when you can.  

I totally get whatchya saying, and I already mentioned how remixes kind of work, your ear hears differences in sound, so when its changed its audibly very striking, I just think covers do it 1 billion times better. But yeah, I know whatchya mean. I will say that I don’t think that’s what confirmation bias means, I’m pretty much certain it means when you actively look for evidence that fits your rhetoric in a bias way, doesn’t have much to do with familiar information (I think). But besides that I get what your saying.  

Nah it’s a misconception. Confirmation bias is typically spoken about in regards to political views and how we seek out news that agrees with our already held beliefs but it’s a process of information acquisition. Our brains are very inefficient at data reception despite being utterly brilliant at other facets of learning like pattern recognition. 

Basically we find patterns and then ignore nearly all of the information in the pattern except what’s just of interest in the moment. 

And mind you im using information to mean signals (anything we sense) and relevant (what we define as an experience) in ways that are atypical because there isn’t really language that is more precise. 

Some songs are amazing and dont need to be messed with. 

Im not feeling the Luda remake. Metallica should have left alone Segers Turn the page. Bonnie Tyler – Total Eclipse of the Heart and 4 Non Blondes – Whats Up, didnt need a dance version. I went to a concert 2-3 years ago and the group sang GooGoo Dolls – Iris exactly like the GooGoo Dolls. To me they were trying to steal my youth and give it to new people. Let these kids enjoy the classics.

Ill admit some deserve credit for attempting but few and very far between.

@chevy2dope, if i were you man id stop thinking like me right now.

Rolling Stones did not do “Too Proud To Beg” any justice. It’s okay that they did it, but it was so inferior that it shouldn’t get radio play to confuse muthafuckas about the awesomeness of the original.

I hate Metallica’s spin on Seger, too.

Reba did good with “The Night That the Lights Went Out in Georgia”.

Jimi Hendrix famously superseded “All Along the Watchtower” from Dylan… as did Johnny Cash with “Hurt” from Trent Reznor… the list goes on. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt, but either way it is still paying homage to someone from before, so it is all love.

This all being said, I wonder if ICP are going to do more than just cover ICP songs at this acoustic show. I’ve been wanting to see them do this for years, so whoever goes, enjoy to the fullest!

Same.  JC and I were talking about how we’d like to see it a while back. I hope they film it. 

I hope they don’t do covers tho. I hope they do some of their less moshy songs that aren’t great for a regular show but might have interesting stories.

The email said they’ll be making us walk thru a metal detector. No phones will be allowed for fear of someone filming it. They are selling disposable cameras cheap, so there will be blurry images available. Shortly after we find the nearest place that still develops film. Do they make those? (Kidding)

Im assuming they will be filming it themselves and giving it as a VIP give away or putting an additional $150 price tag on it. Either way they want all the filming to be theirs. 

I dont wanna give away all the details so ill post screen shots of the email after Saturdays show.

This is a Zug Izland song, but J wrote it and performed a verse. He could pull this off.

Would be hilarious if they fucking did this

An acoustic or ukelele version of this

And a nice rendition of this
