ah ah ah ah
stayin alive
stayin alive

>>126970224 (OP)
>listen to their pre disco stuff
>it's pretty good
Why are they only remembered for the disco stuff?

>>126970224 (OP)
ridley scott is making it
lol

>>126970293
It was huge at the time.

>>126970293
they aren't. if you know more than two songs by them you know their pre-disco stuff. they always played their early material throughout their career

>>126970398
>1978
>go to Bee Gees concert
>expect only You Should be Dancing and shit
>get Cucumber Castle
Imagine

>>126970224 (OP)
They haven't been available to be interviewed for the script.
They've got no time to talk

>>126970505
Two of them are dead

>>126970477
or I.O.I.O, but only the intro, looped for ten minutes with the drums and barry and maurice singing "AAAAAY-O, AY-AY-AY AY-AY AAAA-YO, AY-YO"

I hope the actors that will play the brothers kinda look like them. I also hope that they CAN sing.

And hopefully its not too focused on their disco era

Best of Bee Gees Vol. 2 [RSO, 1973]
What a pathetic comedown--the melodies soggy, the harmonies strained, the lyrics deadly dull. Fifteen songs plus lyric sheet means they're really selling it, too. Exactly four of these songs made the US top 20 which coincidentally is also how many good ones I count here and that's being generous. C

>>126970862
Yes. Their pre-disco stuff are great too. I actually prefer them more than the songs in their disco era.

>>126970884
man i hate when melodies get soggy

>>126970547
but weren't they supposed to be stayin alive???

>>126970884
>the melodies soggy

fuck i had no idea they had a psychedelic phase, i thought they just did disco. This is pretty good

I kinda want to see Andy too but I'm afraid that they might just show only his death and nothing more. I hope I'm wrong. The man was very talented like his older brothers.

>>126971441
I kinda like Robin-lead songs more than Barry's. Robin had a way to sing that really spoke to me.

>get blacklisted forever from US radio after '79

>>126972064
based white sox

>>126972064
You have no idea just how overplayed and overexposed they were in the late 70s. Barry Gibb was driving people insane. Afterwards their audience and airplay were basically limited to Yurop and up until Maurice's death they could always sell out concerts in Germany or Spain or whatever.

>>126971563
Robin was best used sparingly, otherwise his warbly sheep voice can grate on the nerves, and he couldn't sell over the top emotion either. Barry was the better singer hands down.

>>126972101
Why do you write like Cuckgau

>>126971563
>>126972110

I tried to listen to I Cant see Nobody and I it sounds like his voice would go chipmunk-mode randomly during the song. I thought it was some speed effect being used but i guess thats how he is

>>126972064
>>126972101
While true, Barry remained a beloved figure in the music industry (as why wouldn't he? he made them ridiculous amounts of money) and for years afterward was much in demand as a songwriter for other people. He produced Streisand's Guilty album, posed on the cover with her, and they appeared at the 1980 Grammys together.

>>126972124
Cuckgau's writing style would be far more obtuse than that.

>>126972136
He didn't have Barry's range, so when he'd try going for high notes or belting it just sounded weird.

>>126972064
Queen had experienced worse backlash, I believe. Americans were weird sometimes.

>>126972136
I mean, sometimes I love Barry's falsetto but sometimes it annoyed me whenever he overplayed it. Maybe it's the same with Robin for you. But for me, I Can't See Nobody sounded just fine.

Two Years On [Atco, 1970]
This is slightly better than the lps the Gibb brothers put out during their separation--Cucumber Castle, which at least sold some, and the solo flop Robin's Reign. But "Lonely Days" sounded more distinctive on the radio than it does here among its epigones and the collective vibrato is turning into a grating affectation. Perhaps they broke up because they sensed the formula was getting stale. To try and recreate it now is the surest way to go from good pop group to bad one. C

>>126972234
Seriously, I believe that their separation did them more good than harm. They obviously became more mature and became less ego-driven. They also seemed to appreciate each other more because of it. Not to mention that it gave the fans 'How Do You Mend A Broken Heart's which is one of their best songs.

>>126972187
Disco may have been unfashionable to mainstream society but the Gibbs projected a sexy image and has lots of female fans, and that saved them from worse humiliation. Queen on the other had both gone disco AND was unabashedly fruity, and 1980s America just couldn’t handle that.

>>126972234
>and the solo flop Robin's Reign
It sold, just not in the US.

>>126972201
Barry’s falsetto could be inappropriately used at times but there are other times where it just works and you’re reminded of why it was so successful, especially on the ballads. Love So Right is pure soul.

>>126972266
Even fruitier than David Bowie?

Main Course [RSO, 1975]
At first I was put off by the transparent desperation that motivated these chronic fatuosos to come up with their most listenable album in years. But the effort paid off--pop fluff such as "Jive Talkin'" is the kind of stuff that sticks. Best song--"All This Makin' Love", a frantic, Baroque simulation of compulsive sex. B

>>126972413
Bob Stigwood told them to get out of gray, rainy England and come to sunny Miami so they did (and Barry still lives there to this day), they did coke with KC & The Sunshine Band, and developed some new ideas for songs.

>>126970224 (OP)
Just thinking that the twins had been dead for many years made me sad.

>>126972305
Bowie always had plausible deniability

>>126973207
Always thought that he was faking it.

>>126973207
He was lucky that his guitarists were always game with his theatrics.

>>126971441
67-72 was their peak, you should definetely listen to odessa which is imo their best album

The contrast between their high-pitched singing to their thick chest hair was hilarious for some reason.
