How did a bunch of weird late teens doing hardcore punk music do what middle age technical prog metal guys couldn't do?

>liking Flint
mama mia!
what do you mean, make good music with complex time signatures?
idk but the drummer is the best part of Slint so that might have something to do with it

this, britt is an evil genius who we will never truly understand, either that or just blind luck
But he's a Mouth Breather (according to Steve Albini)
but he's a nice guy
Britt Walford fascinates me. Total killer on the drums, but watching Breadcrumb Trail and other interviews with them made me think he's, like, not all there
>“[…] Fairly early in the occupation, [Britt] locked himself out, so he kicked the front door in and then nailed the front door shut with a two by four and he would do all this coming-and-going through a window in the attic.”
yeah dude has to be some sort of savant
>pic related
jesus christ
watching it i kept thinking hes definitely on the spectrum
Didn't Britt also show up at Steve's house with a shotgun while only dressed in boxers, as a prank? This was right before they started working on Tweez
King Crimson did everything they did but better and decades before them
It's mostly Britt having the right people around him, like David and Brian.
assuming this is true, jesus, no wonder ethan and steve ditched after tweez
Yeah I read in the 33 1/3 that David was formally trained.
Steve wanted to produce spiderland, but they didn't choose him
Steve wanted to work with them and they didn't want to work with him; Ethan was unsatisfied with the Tweez results, believing Steve wasn't a good fit and that the album was overproduced. The others also kinda believed Tweez wasn't produced in the correct way for the band's sound.
Another thing is Brian and how he just fed Britt's creativity. It's one of those cases where it's not even skill like David, it's straight up a lot of history.
>slint
>hardcore
yeah and
look at this idiot everyone
please show me where the hardcore influences are in slint's discography I can't find them
weeee
Slint comes from the hardcore scene of Louisville, actually.
how about in the entire scene they helped establish in their hometown
look up the bands Squirrel Bait and Maurice
ok check this out
britt went on the be in the breeders, kim deal's band
kim deal was in the pixies
kurt cobain cited pixies as an influence and he was in a hardcore band called nirvana
>nirvana
>hardcore
you guys are funny
>implying grunge isn't just post hardcore
reminder that steve albini writing a perfect review of spiderland is probably the only reason it survived and remains a classic cause critics don't give a shit about kentucky
just another thing to be thankful of steve for
why does the music community hate the south?
Touch and Go has a pretty loyal fanbase. It would've been rediscovered at some point.
too many important bands and albums have come out of Georgia alone for that to be very true
What's that exactly? Put me into a diabetic coma?
that's true but it'd be niche like no trend or something like that
what did you like eat a shit ton of donuts to spiderland or something
They have more character and heart than them, you can't acquire that you have it or you don't
david pajo is great
shame his solo stuff is all so hard to find
if you have the time watch this
