5.0 out of 5 starsAbsolute Proof that Talent has LITTLE to do with Success.
September 15, 2010
Format: Audio CD
It is a cold, hard truth, that success often has little to do with effort or talent (see Jersey Shore, Paris Hilton, K-Fed, Kim Kardashian, etc.). Being well-connected has always been an easier route, and it has still yielded marvelous results. Of course, there are always exceptions but then it depends a lot on the climate that you are in, your audience, are they 'ready' for you, and for what you have to say. If not, then your chances of success drop considerably. It is called "wrong place-wrong time syndrome" and we have all encountered it. When it happens to a rock band, they can literally disappear with only a cd proving they ever existed. Bird 3 is such a band. I have seen rare photos of Bird (the lead guitar player and singer), apparently he liked to wear white wings on his back while he played, and he a little off (clearly). But he was also a virtuoso guitar player. There is a legend that at one show he didn't like how he was playing and went into a 5-minute solo that (apparently) would have rivaled some of Jimi Hendrix' finest live work. I don't know if any of that is true, and I don't really care, it is a nifty legend. What I do know is that this is easily one of the best albums to come out in 2001; a year that saw the rise of the White Stripes, Interpol, Coldplay, to name a few. If you like the Foo Fighters' early sound, this album is indispensable. Every song is outstanding; and yet, sadly, no one knows. There are no websites, no wikis, no blogs. It's almost like they never even existed. But they did, and we have proof, and we are very glad we do.
Peace

Right!?! I couldn't believe it! PeaceTook some inventive searching, but I found a copy on eBay! Disc ($2.62) cost less than shipping
Just scored one on Barnes and Noble for 7.98 total. Hope it’s the dvd-Audio!
QQ might be responsible for buying up all of the available copies! How cool is that!?! Peace
Thanks I just located a copy on ebay also for a lower cost than shipping....$3.46 total. looking forward to hearing this. In the worst case scenario I will now have an extra DVDA case.......
How does one go about submitting it to Discogs to add? If we did, all our copies might suddenly skyrocket in value
tbh i didn't think the 5.1 was anything to write home about..
Interestingly, Adam, Bird 3 was remixed to 5.1 by Ken Caillat and Klaus Trelby [?]
Kenneth Douglas Caillat is an American record producer. He is best known for engineering the Fleetwood Mac albums Rumours, Tusk, Mirage, Live, and The Chain Box Set.
oh yeah? not a patch on any of his Fleetwood Mac 5.1's imho
As a consolation for your NON~enjoyment of the 5.1 remix:
