There's nothing worse than when a song features an inappropriate saxophone solo. At least, in my 14 years on this planet I've yet to find something worse than this.

I mean, there are those kids starving in Afric and all that but I sti--*SAXOPHONE SOLO!!!!!*

Uh ................

Lol :} kinda a weird thing to say....

Altho it was pretty funny with the saxophone solo at the end, lol :}

Joseph · « **Reply #2 on:** 15 Mar 2006, 23:09 »

I kind of agree. Any solo that doesn't fit the song is a terrible idea, but saxaphones aren't anything special. I can think of plenty of amazing sax solos, it's all a matter of wether they continue the song well.

I have problem with horns in general. Ring of Fire would have been so much better if Cash has left out the fucking trumpet.

What? Important? What does that mean?

As for "Ring of Fire", I think the horns give it a bit of a Latin flavour that's quite nice.

The pun btw, was intended SO hard.

And actually the entire reason for the comment.

(You have to understand though, my high school, for some reason had like 8 terrible ska bands. Seriously, we ONLY had ska bands. Its sort of like sexual abuse... and now I get nevous around horns.)

ImRonBurgundy? · « **Reply #11 on:** 16 Mar 2006, 02:31 »

terrible high school ska bands are the WORST. i love ska, but when ska bands are bad, they are usually absolutely fucking AWFUL.

I first thought this was about no pants-inappropriate solos. I'm kind of disappointed.
But anyway, I don't like stuff that doesn't fit in with the rest of the song. Like trumpets.

The truth. Is it some kind of universal rule that if you're in high school and not a very good musician, you start a ska band?

"Oh, they probably won't notice how shitty our music is. Not when they find out about our totally awesome trumpets."

Do you mean like a freestyle horn-off? Or just two people, smashing each other to death with trumpets?

'Cause I vote for B.

Completely inappropriate.

It's a scientific fact that the live version of "Ring of Fire" from the San Quention concert, with female backing singers taking the place of the mariachi band, is at least 112% more awesome.

Horns are pretty cool, but far from the most important instrument. FAR from.

Drums. Keyboard/Piano. Guitar.

ALL instruments i'd take over an air blower.

seth uber alles · « **Reply #22 on:** 17 Mar 2006, 13:24 »

I suddenly want to listen to X-Ray Spex.

Or FEAR's "New York's Alright (If You Like Saxophones) because that solo is just crazy.

Air blower souds like a deragatory term use by sea creatures to describe land creatures.

That being said, they are by far the coolest instruments ever. A staple of any musical diet.

And a saxaphone is not a horn.

More like saxual abuse!
See what I did there!!1!

Also, no matter what the style of music (besides ska, of course), whenever I hear the unmistakeable wailings of the sax, I'm always shipped off to some sleazy New York alley way on a soggy winter's night.

Your face is the most important instrument!

there are some ska songs that have that feeling, though, too.

Mariachi!!! Seriously mariachi is probably some of the best shit ever. Especially in Cash songs. Or any songs... sort of.

Tell that to Sigur Ros.

Also, that sax solo in EVERY SONG TO COME OUT OF MOTOWN IN THE 1960S is terrible and the saxophonist should be beaten with a stick. A STICK OF INTENSE PAIN!

I suggest a complete blanket ban on Kenny G. That will solve everything.
