3rd Eye Blind on Oasis
Jimmy Zesati
Read in the latest issue of BAM (Bay Area Music) that the singer of
Third Eye Blind said of Oasis:"I have never seen a band that expects so
much of it's fans for so little". What a dick!

Yeah. And not to mention didn't they tour with them? Weren't they the
opening act for Oasis or summat one time? Wankers. Well... they're not

Trust me, the interview as a whole was nauseating. Stephen Jenkins, the
idiot in question, took little time to demonstrate that he's a
fame-sucking creep of the worst kind, smug and generally bereft of art
while inordinately praising his own supposed genius in having a hit song
about speed. Jesus! If I found the music even slightly interesting, I
could write it off a touch, but such is very much not the case. Can't
wait for the inevitable second album flop. After reading it, I wanted
to sucker punch the clown.
Especially amusing on top of it all was his boasting about getting
thanks and attention from Bono and the Edge. I think he probably failed
to realize that they likely say that to *all* their opening bands [Oasis
included, I'm sure!]. Sad sad sad...

Oh yeah, 3rd Eye Blind did get their big break opening for Oasis a while
back. Just to show you the gall of the lead singer of these one hit
wonders.

And the worst thing about today's one-hit wonder radio stars is that
they have no redeeming qualities whatsoever. At least you could count on
bands like Bon Jovi to be unintentionally hilarious. Third Eye Blind are
too bland to even have fun mocking. They're just irritating in the
extreme...

Yeah, it's bound to happen. They're just another one of those faceless
interchangeable corporate rock vehicles that can be switched around
without their braindead fans even noticing.

As if it's so hard to write a song which mainly consists of 'doo doo doo
doo doo doo doo' over and over, that one cannot even perform live because
of the heavy vocal production. D'oh! Paging Damon Albarn (who is no longer
dating Justine Frischmann, we'll all be interested to know)...
>Can't wait for the inevitable second album flop.
Isn't it second single flop? I mean, How's It Gonna Be has done *alright*,
but I *still* hear the doo doo doo song more often on the radio than that
sad How's It Gonna Be bit of rubbish.
The best review of both Third Eye Blind and Marcy Playground I've read:
'Marcy Playground is for the sad fuckers who find Third Eye Blind too
edgy'.

I am *not* defending 3rd Eye Blind, they do make me nauseous, however,
an Oasis fan shouldn't cut down another band for bragging or writing
songs about drugs..."Chained to the mirror and the razor blade". Yes, they
are obnoxious and they are nothing compared to Oasis, but Oasis does similar
stuff. (bragging, drugs, etc.)

Isn't this the same article where he said that his band has "real indie

an All Saint, now. The poor, misguided girl.

After reading all the post on this subject, one thing that strikes me
is that in an attempt to discredit this statement, all anyone has done
was insult the messanger and nobody has said anything about the
message. Sure, Third Eye Blind is a shit band but as they say, "Even a
broken clock is right twice a day".
Of course, all you Oasis sheep feel like you are going to struck by
lightning if you say something bad about them or it will make you less
of a fan if you do. Grow up, that's just one guy's opinion.

Funnily enough, he's claimed Mel B as the Spice Girl he fancies. And the
All Saint he's apparently dating is the black one. We've gotten into an
'interesting' discussion on a.m.spice-girls about this...

Stop right there (thank you very much, I need somebody with the human
touch, etc). There's nothing to discredit. It's discredited by the fact
that it's hypocritical. End of story. Stop trying to ruin the current joke

Thing is, knowing him, you half wonder if he's thinking to himself,
"Okay, done the lo-fi slacker thing, now time to imitate late period
Marc Bolan." Personally, I wouldn't be all that surprised.

I'm waiting for the Richard Branson phase, myself, mainly because he'll be

If it's Oasis' live act he is speaking about I can understand him.
Even though I like Oasis a lot they sure are a DULL and still

So then if we've heard the entirety of the CD and have the sense to

I agree it's quite good (and underrated), but they still have a
long way to go until the songs are as good as Oasis' songs. And
songs is exactly what Third Eye Blind's and Oasis' genre is mainly
about.

Rap and techno, for instance. I would also say riff based
rock'n'roll isn't that much about songs as is Oasis' and Third Eye
Blind's melody driven style.

A "song based" style is also supposed to be melodic in some
(Western) way, excluding all rap, most dance music and also a lot
of riff based rock'n'roll and blues based stuff.

(nothing more to life). Dave has the worst hair so he'd be the one
always with the backwards baseball cap. Alex would be the "bad-boy" of
the group and must always be wearing his black leather jacket and ripped
jeans. Graham of course would be the "nice boy" of the group. He must
always be sporting the cheesy smile that makes you want to slap him.
Since Damon is dating the balck All Saint he'd be the stereotypical
whiter-than-the-eleventh-earl-of-sandwich boy band member who tries to
use as much American black slang as possible so as to appear the
ultimate posure. But you know what Blur would be missing? A blonde!
Dave just doesn't cut it as the token blonde. To satisfy the situation,
Blur should bring in either Robert Plant or Barry Manilow to fill the
position.

Yeah, but look at Marky Mark now. He's done a good job with himself. Just
not with music. So maybe we're depriving the world of talent by hoping
that no Blur siblings start doing their own pop thing!

That was never my opinion. "Girls And Boys" sounds a little
bit like Duran Duran, which is still far from sounding like a
manufactured "boy band".

Okay, let's bring this a little bit down: Geir, do you know what a song *is*?

A melody with words to it. The melody being the most important
thing, but the words also being important in some (but in no way
all) cases.

Instrumentals aren't songs?

You could probably discuss that. I would call it a "piece" rather
than a "song", but a short instrumental, with a highly obvious
melodic lead part may possibly be viewed a "song".

just wondering, geir. does anyone this side of morrissey share your myopic view of
what a song is and should be? it seems like you've done more than just snag one of
his lines for your sig. rather, it appears that you've espoused his beliefs
regarding music. what do you think of reggae? :D

I have the impression Morissey was more interested in lyrics than
I am. My reason for using that quote in my sig is simply it's a
great way of speaking my opinion on DJs and discos.
>what do you think of reggae? :D
As far as grooves go the reggae groove is my favourite group. That
doesn't mean I like a reggae song if the melody isn't strong, but
Bob Marley actually wrote some strong melodies.

Huh? Do you mean your favorite group of grooves, or did you mean to to
say "groove"? Consider me confused, even by Geirlogic standards...

No, Geir, it has nothing to do with melody. It is, simply put, MUSIC with
a song to it.
And, no, Geir, the definition of music does not necessarily equal melody,
either. And it most certainly does not equal only melodies that Geir
Hongro likes.
If you can't comprehend this, there is no point in going on in
conversation, is there?

well, his only stipulation on lyrics is that they don't offend the
intellect.
but back to the original question. is there anyone who agrees with you? i've
never seen anyone rush to your aid. i mean, is it just a scandanavian thing?
elvis seems like a funny first name for a guy with the surname of grbac, but
i'm told elvis is a very common name in poland. is that all this is? a
cultural thing? or is this your own bright idea. :D
> Bob Marley actually wrote some strong melodies.
and what makes a melody strong? isn't that subjective? is a melody strong
because it appeals to you?
