NightProwler Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 (edited) Loving it! A mix between BITUSA and The Rising. Everyone is saying this is a very angry album and that is a good sign. Album is called Wrecking Ball and is out March 6th. US tour in the spring, European tour in the summer followed by another NA tour in late summer/fall which supposedly includes a stadium leg.Anyways, without further ado. "We Take Care Of Our Own."http://www.youtube.com/embed/M3Bz0d2xm7U?fs=1 Edited January 20, 2012 by NightProwler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalsh327 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I'm sure it'll be good. I think he's going to keep going until he can't do it anymore. When do you get too old to rock and roll, and that age keeps getting pushed further and further up. It doesn't have to be a young man's game.

Demon Wolf Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Seeing him this summer. Saw him in 2009, fucking amazing. Loved both Magic and Working On A Dream, so looking forward to this next release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeppelin Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 The song's okay, but The Rising was his last truly great album. The others have been good but haven't matched it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalsh327 Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 As long as times get hard, he'll always have a song for it. Working on a Dream was in the middle of that hope & change, now that it's been a couple of years later, he prob. had plenty to say, and since losing a few friends and bandmates since then, prob. wrote songs with them in mind. Max's son proved his worth on the last tour, and kind of kicked Bruce's ass into gear. True artists don't rest on their laurels - it's all they know, and just keep going until they can't do it anymore. He knows he could just grow old and fat in his mansion waiting to be a grandpa, but he's one of the few guys out there who doesn't bitch and whine about today's music. He's always kept a pulse on it. He's a music encyclopedia from what people who know him have said about him. I still can't get over his line about anal sex with a hooker though. Wonder what the wife thought when she first heard it.

Mansin Humanity Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 i like it. classic springsteen, can't go wrong. i'm really excited to hear a studio version of wrecking ball, it's a great track.also what i really want to know is who's going to be playing sax on the tour. if i'm a dumbass and that's already been announced, it'd be great if someone could fill me in. knowing bruce, whoever it is will be the right choice.

dalsh327 Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 (edited) Ed Manion was on the Seeger sessions and like Steve, was part of Southside Johnny's band. Bruce has known him since the real early days and he's been on the tours in the horn section. With Clarence's health over the past decade, I'm sure they kept a replacement in mind, in case he was unable to tour. I don't know if he's going to be an official E Streeter or was part of the sessions, or they're using some of Clarence's outtakes. But I do think the E Street is going to be a mix of the guys from Seeger sessions and the remainder of the original E Street band. Nils (underrated guitarist) and Steve will be there, the drummer is also going to be a question - Max was prob. in the sessions, his son prob. played and learned the songs.Some interesting things about Bruce: His sister is a professional photographer, but was a B movie actress that starred in "Sleepaway Camp 2". She was also in "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" and dated Sean Penn. Sean appeared in "Dead Man Walking" which had a Bruce song, but his first movie as director was "The Indian Runner" around a Springsteen song on "Nebraska". Viggo Mortensen was in it, who was married to Exene from X. Dennis Hopper and Charles Bronson are also in the movie. Springsteen moved to San Fran in the late 60s with his family, and did some shows there... but didn't fit in. Too much competition. Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham had their band going on around the same time, they all saw Janis, Jimi, the Dead, opened for them, etc.He must have been good because Bill Graham had recorded and paid for the demos, in hopes that the band would sign with his record company but didn't. Bruce's band was never on the posters because Graham booked unknown bands and didn't put them in the posters. Springsteen moved back to NJ on his own, and that was all documented in the Born To Run DVD. Bruce said he saw a lot of great shows in Asbury Park on the off days, but that group of people either formed with Southside Johnny's band or with Bruce's band. For some reason, the guys in NJ didn't get into heroin or cocaine the way it was around NY based bands, and their drug of choice was beer, which the bars gave them, but everyone who was in bands in the 60s-80s talked about the Mafia presence in the bars there, bands didn't get paid sometimes, the hint of a gun handle, tough made men and all that were a part of everyday life.

James Bond Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 I'm not that familiar with Springsteen outside of the hits, but this is a great song. Thanks for posting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasted Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Magic was great I liked it more than The Rising. Maybe the new will be too political or American but Magic is just a cool album. Living in the future and none of this has happened yet maybe me think of Marty McFly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pico Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 woad was terrible (bar the wrestler), but this single is his best since radio nowhere imomy biggest problem with his output over the last decade is the godawful production, and there's too much strings and violins and shit just clogging up the songsanyone like held up without a gun? it's one of my favorites Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
