Re: Is the King of Hollywood the strangest, coolest song or what?
Well, I know one thing. Revisiting this thread has given me an appreciation of this song that I never had. Now, don't get me wrong - I'm far from loving it - but let's just say I'm being swayed, and that's what I love about this board.
Re: Is the King of Hollywood the strangest, coolest song or what?
Always loved this song , got the impression it was about the music business in general and the feel of it seemed to sum up the mood of the band at the time for me.Nice to know many other like the track as well :)
Re: Is the King of Hollywood the strangest, coolest song or what?
I totally agree with you, PB!
Re: Is the King of Hollywood the strangest, coolest song or what?
At the NYU Songwriter's Hall of Fame Masters Series, Glenn said that King of Hollywood was about a TV/Movie producer named Robert Evans.
Soda put up this link to Wikipedia in that thread.

Wow! I can't believe he named names! And the guy's still alive? Lawsuit! :hilarious:

Underrated Song is the word. Is a great piece!! ;)
Re: Is the King of Hollywood the strangest, coolest song or what?
I love the message and the music in this song.
I LOVE harmony and cool musical things and this one has it all.
Re: Is the King of Hollywood the strangest, coolest song or what?
Actually, there's no harmony in this song. Glenn is singing in the same key as Don, only an octave higher.
I really like this song musically, and I think the vibe of the music goes well with the lyrics. I just don't like the subject matter. I can listen to it once in awhile, but not often. I feel like I need to bathe after listening to it. :eyebrow:

Well, there is the "he's calling..." bit that is done in harmony, but it isn't much. Maybe Sad-cafe meant the harmonized guitars?
