All this talk about the new Blur album has really got me head spinning. I am extremely excited about it, to be quite honest. Though it is all the negativity surrounding it, that really pishes me off. Ok, I understand that Damon and Graham have been friends for what seems forever, and they did wonderfully in the band. But, it just was NOT for Graham, at all. Though, I think that Graham is in fact a genious guitarist, I do not believe that he was on the same level, musically, that Damon WAS and IS. He just could not connect like Damon could. Hell, if you look back into their younger years, when they first met, Graham was introducing Damon to the current jams, and there was Damon, listening to stuff that no one had heard of. To me, that is brilliance, backed by brilliance.
Which brings me to my next point, everyone is proclaiming that the music is showing how terrible Blur is doing now that Graham is gone. Bullshite. I am not going to sit here and say that Think Tank is the best album ever produced...but it was a good one. Furthermore, if there is anything showing, it is because of the lack of FRIENDSHIP in my opinion. I really don't think Graham had a whole hell of a lot of say-so in their music. It was Damon, and Stephen Street who had the majority of the input, Damon especially. Let me explain how I have come to this mere understanding of sorts. Everyone knows that music is an outlet for emotions, personality, and inner hardships. I believe that when Damon was at his lowest when 13 was produced, because of his mishaps with Justine Frischmann...and it showed. As it is right now...current events equalling the loss of a good friend, and bandmate. To me, that is the only true reason as to why the music may be showing sufferage. Besides, if Graham can't be a good sport about things, then fuck 'em. I hope he never comes back.
Then Damon's true organ skills will prevail!!!
