Talking Heads on Creating Stop Making Sense and Recording Every Album in a New Location (Extended)

[@coreygillies-qp8rk]

Nice to see David being un front man like and letting the other band members enjoy the spotlight . Respect

[@benjaminpetersen1952]

Surely a first for him

[@TTM9691]

lol. He's doing them a favor, and they're all just doing it because there are no royalties from streaming, otherwise you would not see David and Tina Weymouth together. What f**k does he care? He's been doing creative projects that gets him press ever since the Heads broke up. What has Tina, Chris and Jerry done? Tina pissed the pool in that band, not David Byrne, and it's because of her they never reunited. If she had been cool - which she never was, she was always impressed with herself from that initial early period, when SHE was the one that got all the attention, not Byrne - the band would have kept going, at least on and off, during the 90s and maybe would even be around today.

[@EastmanD]

@@TTM9691 I've had the feeling throughout the years that the other members of the band could have in their later years (after the breakup) been more understanding of David's, what appears to be, natural talent as a musician AND as an entertainer (the latter something they really don't have) and more open to the possibility of reuniting. Which could of course have been beneficial to all EVEN if the money wasn't "equal" but dudeeeee...that's some more vitriol you're throwing out...sure there's gonna be some envy, no doubt, but you damn sure aren't helping the situation. WTF

[@TTM9691]

@@EastmanD First off, it's not "the other members of the band", it's Tina, that's it. It's not Jerry Harrison and it's not Chris Frantz (who got caught in the middle). Secondly, I'm not helping the situation? What alternative reality are you living in, dummy? Yeah, my little comment is really exacerbating the situation, it's all about me,......holy f**k are you sycophantic hor what? Go read about the band, bro! Go read about the crap she pulled for YEARS. She put a big giant wedge between the band and Byrne, she'd be mailing him these long, vitriolic, name-calling letters, and his quote was literally something like "Why would I play in a band with a person who writes me letter after letter calling me a scumbag and the worst person in the world?" She's such a wannabe. I love her! Great bass player! Total asshole. One of the villains of rock. Get the picture? (Now we see!) (hope that reference didn't go sailing over your head)

Ran the Colorado River in 1986, a 21 day trip. Stop Making Sense was our music played on a Sony Diskman. Those were the days.

[@rickguerrero2282]

“Fear of Music” was a stroke of genius. It was the first record of “different music” I ever loved. I got the album only because a friend of mine bought it and hated it so much he was going to throw it away. I offered to take it and give it a listen……..and I was blown away!

[@shawnuel]

FOM was the "transition" album. Still some of the quirky pop/new wave of the first 2 albums but with the addition of the African polyrhythms and funk elements that would bloom in full on Remain In Light. "Life During Wartime" got some radio play but "I Zimbra" was the revelation for me.

[@stuartcarswell2815]

2:03 "Take Me To The River" was written by the beautiful soul singer, Al Green.

[@davidnelson2682]

co-written

[@newwavepop]

The reason the "Punk" scene was so interesting in the beginning is because the bands did NOT all sound the same. when they say they were not a punk band i mean they were a band BEFORE there was a "Punk Scene" which is far more punk in my opinion. once a scene starts wagon jumpers and gatekeepers come along and by default rules are set, what the sound is what the look is what the attitude is etc... which in this case sort of defeats the whole purpose of whatever that movement was. pretty much all similar scenes go through the same thing, a SMALL amount of genuinely interesting and creative people come together and a scene begins. before long the scene starts getting some sort of exposure and more people start coming along, and then the people that are not actually very interesting or creative start coming along and taking the scene over. then the interesting creative people that started it begin to move on to the next thing because they are creative and get bored of doing the same old thing. now the people that jump on the band wagon starts calling the people that created the scene posers because they are into something else now. the hypocrisy and ignorance of it all.

[@aidanashton2803]

David Byrne letting his crew do the talking and taking the limelight. That’s a leader ❤

[@moon4815]

David Byrne’s limelight couldn’t be stolen even if he said nowt… He’s a legend.

[@benjaminpetersen1952]

Only because he did the exact opposite for their entire career, and it wouldn't be a great look this many years on. Also probably wouldn't be conducive to everyone doing press together like this.

[@TTM9691]

@@benjaminpetersen1952 Wrong. Tina Weymouth is the one who pissed the pool in this band. You're still clinging to that Rolling Stone article back in '87, huh? Tina was the first to get the spotlight, nobody was complaining she "stole" the spotlight from the others. She was a bitter brat for years, and is the most two-faced person on that stage, smiling and grinning. He's doing them a favor by sitting up there with them. What has Tina and Co. done since the Heads broke up? Nothing. Other than album called "The Heads", which tanked. No one's interested in her "work". (PS: Tom Tom Club was before the Heads broke up, just to nip that one in the bud) Byrne writes books, does stuff with Robert Wilson, on Broadway, he did that wild building/music installation which I can't even describe, he's always doing something creative......give me a break. He EARNED the spotlight.

@@TTM9691 I won't hear a bad word about Tina. Her bass playing, particularly on Remain in Light and Speaking in Tongues is brilliant - she's always been underrated. Talking Heads was about all four of them, not just David. Bands break up, people are people, who knows what actually went down.

Pop music with originality, people playing real instruments live without tracks, a non-conformist attitude, taking musical risks. Awesome. Bring it back.

[@Jonny-o3l]

Not to be 'that guy' or whatever, Talking Heads used all kinds of pre-recorded tracks during live performances. A pre-recorded track literally begins "Stop Making Sense" ...that noise isn't actually coming from the tape player.

[@AnodyneHipsterInfluencer]

​@@Jonny-o3l I don't think he's counting a prerecorded introduction. I think he's talking about the songs themselves when performed live which they most certainly were. Besides maybe the minimal use of a drum machine here and there - using loops that _they_ programmed - everything you heard live insofar as their songs, was performed by a musician, using an instrument.

[@Falconlibrary]

It's wonderful to see the four of them together again after so much bitterness and hurt feelings. Most of it caused by Byrne but one thing I've learned is that it's never just one person's fault when things go wrong. And good on Byrne for not trying to hog the spotlight.

[@danielwhittaker9719]
