73. Indeed. Nesmith wrote a great deal of very good songs, extraordinary of which were quite agitated and progressive

Daily Nightly was in writing all but the Hollywood 'curfew riots', and included the first use of a Moog Modular on a pop/rock album, which Dolenz had purchased at the Monterey pop festival.

The Door into Summer is another good unmatched that isn't what people whitethorn think of when the Monkees' name is mentioned. A bit pop song exploring whether a war profiteer makes IT into a rather heaven. You know, teeny-bopper overindulge.

Atomic number 2 had many to a greater extent, some cosmic cowboy style, some much stranger.Piece of writing Wrongs is one of the most data-based.

26. I stick about my comment.

Humphrey Davy Jones, warbling "Where Is Love" in a London product of "Oliver" doesn't impress me.

Peter Tork may have boosted his musicianship a trifle by being Steve Stills' roommate, but that's still underwhelming.

Nesmith formed and played in rock candy bands in Texas, long before atomic number 2 (quite than the aforesaid Stills) got "lucky" (the word needs those quotes) in acquiring picked to be a Monkee. His later career included some important work in euphony videos---no small thing.

Expect, I get it---I lived through it: We whol had our favorite Monkee, dorsum in the day. The show and the albums made shit-loads of money, and gave a lot of skilled studio musicians and song writers (Neil Diamond included) both badly-required jobs. All in all, a positive thing. Seems equivalent a long, extendible time ago...

71. I know much of singers who definitely deal themselves musicians.

I'll admit I looked down my nose at the Monkees in the beginning. As a teenager who had been a Beatles fan for years, I resented the idea of some TV fit trying to cash in happening the Beatles' fame, which is essentially what the show was meant to set. I never held IT against the four boys themselves; if anything, I power saw them as being used aside money hungry jerks.

Just I watched the show, out of oddment, and complete up liking IT and them, in spite of myself. I soon came to realize that those guys were actually all very talented in different ways. Not all as

musically

talented, only I also happen to value things like temporary talent, comedic timing, and (yes) being a good vocalist, and I have scarcely as more respect for those things as for the power to write songs or play complicated guitar solos.

Davy was actually my dearie. I love his interpreter, and anyone who thinks being matchless of the stars of a major musical on the freaking London stage isn't pretty damned impressive doesn't live what they're talk about, imo.

Stephen Stills is actually the one WHO told him about the audition for the Monkees. Peter was but more photogenic, tragic for his career, serendipitous for Stephen Stills. I always wondered how Jackson Browne never got "David Cassidy'd."

"Where Is Love" is sung aside Oliver. Sea bottom played the Artul Corn dodger, not Oliver, on both the London stage and on Broadway, which I pot assure you requires plenty of impermanent and musical gift and is a very BFD.

Jones was a talented actor and a fine daddy vocalist. There are many kinds of talent (other than being a singer-songwriter) that are deserving of respect.

49. The nature of what was expected from pop up stars radically changed in the 60's

Last altered Fri Dec 10, 2022, 02:59 PM - Edit history (1)

I would mention this in large part to the Beatles and also Dylan. Suddenly just getting up and belting out a strain wasn�t sufficiency. Now bands were expected to write brilliant catchy and original sounding corporate. Bands were anticipated to play their own instruments, virtuoso solos were expected, and rhythm sections had be be tight and solid. All from performers barely exterior of their adolescent years.

Did anyone expect Sinatra to write out masterful pa tunes? Was Ella required to sit and accompany herself on piano? Even Elvis relied on other people to drop a line the tunes, and leased professionals (after his early recordings) to play the music. Sooner or later every last these artists had a huge impact on popular finish and their musical prowess is never in question.

The 60�s and the rise of the vocalizer/songwriter and the 4/5 piece rock group changed everything.

82. Very subordinate-rated

Dolenz berserk a commercial singing voice that coal-fired most of their hits. And Jones was certainly no slouch in that department. Arsenic faraway as entertainment criteria is considered, the levels of musicianship, vocal ability, temporary ability, attribute charisma, improvisational science, and chemical group interaction -- are all part of the equation. Musicianship alone would not deliver provided the level of success that the group attained.

And his years with the Monkees distracted from what was a thoughtful and highly plausible career as a player/songwriter.

Davy Jones came from musical theater, but Michael Nesmith had independent legitimate music chops, on with Peter Tork, who was a phratr music dude. Mickey Dolenz (my favorite) had been a kid player.

I consider Mickey�s the go one standing, as of the passing of Michael Nesmith. I dated a guy in college who was a big Nesmith devotee, only IT was because of his country and western work, not anything Monkee-ish.

45. RIP Micheal Nesmith. He had integrity to ensure the other serious musicians got credit on early albums

From Wikipedia:

". In the 2006 Rhino Deluxe Edition re-issue of their 2d record album, More of the Monkees, Mike Nesmith stated, "The first album shows up and I look at IT with horror because it makes [America] appear as if we are a rock'n'roll isthmus. There's no credit for the other musicians. I go completely flight, and I say, 'What are you people intellection?' [The powers that be say], 'Symptomless, you know, it's the fantasy.' I read, 'IT's not the fantasy. You've crossed the short letter here! You are immediately duping the public. They know when they look at the television series that we're not a rock musi band; it's a show about a rock 'n' roll band. ... nobody for a minute of arc believes that we are for some reason this accomplished rock 'n' roll band that got their own video show. ... you putt the record out like this is honourable on the far side the pale." Within a few months of their unveiling album, Music Supervisory program Don Kirshner was forcibly dismissed and the Monkees took control as a serious band."

I was too young to grease one's palms them at the time, just my sister still has all of their albums on vinyl. She was probably a tween in their flower and I was several years younger. I remember we played those albums finished and once more. I loved watching the Tv set show all Saturday, but information technology was the medicine I enjoyed most. It's sad to see bits of puerility falling away concluded time, but that's the way of things. Crosscurrent, Microphone Nesmith.

47. Awww man - he was the only one I hadn't seen perform yet.

I believe I've mentioned this before sol if IT's a duplicate to any dear readers feel free to mosey along. When I united my wife 36 years past I besides got 2 sons in the bargain. they were 7 and 11 at the time. One of my favorite past-times was already releas to concerts both big and small but the bulk of the shows I went to back then were expiry and thrash alloy shows in little clubs and the kids ever lamented they never got to pass (even if I would claim them the clubs wouldn't have let them in).

So they ever begged to go and I always had to say no BUT at the same time, The Monkees were enjoying a rebroadcast revival on MTV and we loved watching the goofiness of information technology. (Still manage). So extraordinary day after they again didn't get to tour with me to a show I told them, "O.k., if the Monkees always go on tour I will take you to see them and that quieted them John L. H. Down for a day.

The reason it was only a day is because THE VERY NEXT DAY - LITERALLY THE NEXT DAY - MTV announced a Monkees reunion tour of duty. The kids were unrestrained and my wife was excited and I was kinda reactive too and found out they would indeed by playing a fairgrounds in St Petersburg Campaign which was only a couple hours away and that is how I got so take my kids to their first concert and spend a lovely afternoon with 3 of the Monkees (Nesmith wasn't involved therewith tour). We also saw Gary Puckett and the Unionised Gap and the Grass Roots and being a young hippy at the time that was fine with me.

They were funny and did all the hits and information technology was a great time.

RIP Michael Nesmith - you helped make over my life fun!

104. IT was the terminal operation of the Farewell Tour ...

Full concert was streamed Live:

This concert took on a completely dissimilar vibe since it was more introspective than any previous Monkees concert that I have accompanied. Information technology lamentably turns out to be their last.

100. I attended his May 21, 2022, concert in Pittsburgh, his only visit to that city.

Michael was terrific. His lo was puissant but civilised in its accompaniment to his vocals. His rendition of "Joanne" was mesmerizing. At the end, the venue seemed to quake when totally the ring members joined in the vocals for "Cruisin'," which incontestable Michael's tremendous ability in arranging a exist number.
