Date: June 27th, 2024 4:20 PM Author: UhOh they're very similar except billy is a legit musician and songwriter and bruce is a 3 chord jersey shore bar singer (albeit the best one). they're both rock and roll interlopers playing for suburban normies to unimaginable success. to their credit they both are known for banging out extended high energy concerts.
anyway, i'd take billy every time. |

Date: June 27th, 2024 3:55 PM Author: Big Clique Energy I’ve seen him live a few times. I don’t really care for his albums but his live shows were the best concerts I ever went to. No opening act, dude comes out and plays 4 hours, no autotune, no backing tracks, no flown-in vocals. Just turned on the house lights and played rock and roll from 8 till midnight. No one will be able to do this in a few years; it will be lost knowledge like the moon landing. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5546220&forum_id=2/#47783362) |

Date: June 27th, 2024 4:29 PM Author: UhOh that's the thing, he was always pretty good but rarely great. he should've been an east coast legend instead a worldwide celebrity. tom petty did the same thing way better, so did mellencamp. and they're all just poppy versions of bob dylan. but bruce made his reputation from his working man image and his live shows more than his songs.
ljl i just listened to thunder road and jfc it's terrible.
his singing is so bad and put on, like he's always constipated. and he's always so over the top dramatic. his songs are never really musically or lyrically interesting, they're just like pretty good and "passionate" i guess?
he seems like a 180 bro though, unlike billy who is pretty much a dick. |

Only peer I know who was into it was a guy in college who was very into being from NJ and by default liked everything NJ. |
