Nog zo'n kunstige videoclip van de uit "Detroit" - Amerika afkomstige band "Electric Six"... het nummer "Gay Bar" van het album "Fire" uit 2003 werd sinds zijn release hevig gesensureerd vanwege de tekst en de bijbehorende video... De single werd uitgebracht rond de tijd dat Amerika binnenviel in Irak en dus werd voor de airplay op de radios de zin "Let's start a war, start a nuclear war, at the gay bar" veranderd in "Let's do an edit, do a radio edit, at the gay bar!"... In Engeland werden de woorden 'nuclear war' gesensureerd door er een zweepslag-geluid voor in de plaats te editen (zoals te merken is in deze video... erg jammer, maar ja...) en voor sommige muziek zenders werden tijdens de zin "I've got something to put in you" de getoonde objecten (een ei, een pepermolen en een banaan) gesensureerd. ... De zeskoppige band is vooruitstrevend voor zijn genre, of beter gezegd, het ontbreken van een bepaald genre door zijn mengeling van diverse muziekstijlen rondom een rode draad van rockmuziek... Volgens de "kenners" zou hun stijl als volgt omschreven kunnen worden: "A synthesis of disco, synth-pop, glam and arena rock, including the falsetto vocals of disco, laden with rampant solos, be they guitar riffs, synth wails, or strutting drums, that enforce the band's energetic sound"... Ik denk dat het als beste omschreven kan worden als "Strange Rock", zoals ik hun muziek graag noem... Sit back and... ENJOY...!!!

jerry lee lewis +the bee gees: money [midnight special ouch]
wow, hit a nerve huh? Bee gees had a few great songs, but they sound horrible singing this song. "remember this was a comedy show", well, obviously because I laughed watching them. They had to hold their ears? Why didn't JLL? He wailed away like it was nothing, the king. I'm not being hasty, just telling it like I see it. sorry!

The Bee Gees are a legendary act much like Jerry, who is much more experienced than them here, but the brothers had already amassed a huge catalogue at this point; however there is a reason why Maurice and Robin never did high harmony's on their own in that style, its a bit of fun here, they are all having fun, its fun, Jerry sure look like he enjoyed it, it was just a bit loud clearly, still sounds pretty good to me, great end
Quite funny as well, have a look at their song with Wilson Picket.;)

And Jerry was playing piano if you didn't notice, unless he had 3 hands it would be pretty difficult for him to hold his ear, Maurice tried it at the beginning, and gave up 10 seconds after.;)

Explain why.
Its a comedy programme with some music, and sound issues.
The Brothers Gibb are some of the best vocalists in musical history and I can say that with full confidence putting aside all my bias, have a listen to I Started a Joke, you were a bit hasty with you're judgement.;)

Luke the luke: that doesn't mean they were great in this clip. No way; they were terrible. I'm not argueing their catalogue...

They weren't terrible, the solos are great but Maurice (RIP) was in the wrong key for some of it, he was a growl singer with great range, great voice; the 3 part harmony is normal at the end with the right blend, it probably took a while due to the loudness, its hard to harmonize perfectly with no ears
But I did misunderstand you're comment.;)
You must see, their are many people on youtube who are completely ignorant towards the Bee Gees catalogue, clearly you aren't one of them, I apoligise.:)

I have to agree with you Brutus, Can not hear the piano. The guitar amps are to loud and they are screaming the song , probably cause they can not hear themselves in the monitors.
