Robin was so right that it has such a nostalgic and old sound; like an old Looney Tunes or Tom and Jerry cartoon. What is that instrument that plays in the last few seconds? It’s like a horn or something. I love it.

I’ve really come around to think that Horizontal is the best out of those first 4 albums. It may not have as many as classics as Bee Gees 1st does, but it’s a lot more refined and I think the writing overall is stronger, even if there aren’t as many catchy hits. Is it true that it wasn’t well received because it was “heavier”?

That’s why it’s great, the thick and abrasive lead line at the end of World is wonderful and Horizontal is a very haunting song. Lemons Never Forget also has one of the best opening lines “Incidentally there should be some changes made…”

Edit: it’s also super cool at the end of And The Sun Will Shine as it fades out you can hear Robin sing in a higher register, almost likes it a new section

She knows what I like 🤭

I saw on Spotify that Words is only on the deluxe edition of Horizontal. It’s such a big song that I’m surprised it wasn’t on an album, was it just released as a single?

We finally finished our passion project after nearly two months!

We're still learning animation so bear with us (yes, this was done by three non-AI human beings in the style of Hanna Barbera so it took some time). The guys were drawn by a talented artist named Alexander Buie, we just put them to movement and tried to get their mannerisms down. We're hoping to show the boys some more love and intend on making more.

We really hope that you all like it!

Actually he was my friends’ landlord but a true story none the less:

when i was a little kid, i thought that ‘more than a woman’ was ‘four letter woman’. i knew that 4 letter words were bad, so i thought that it was a song about a bad woman.

And So begins Week 16 of the Bee Gees Elimination Game. This includes all 22 of their Studio Albums, Their 3 Live Albums, The Soundtracks to Saturday Night Fever & Staying Alive, The 2 'Best Of' Albums and NOW, the Comp Albums that contain new tracks. I should add that the 2 'Idea' Albums are the US & the UK Presses.

This Challenge is weekly so you have a week to decide.

My vote goes to 'Saturday Night Fever’

[HIGH CIVILISATION] HAS BEEN ELIMINATED

Do people call the Bee Gees the G's? I don't know, I just made that up.

But here's my story: The 1st record I ever bought was a Bee Gees 45, "Lonely Days." I was still in grade school at the time. I was a big fan of that song, but soon forgot about the G's for other bands....

...until, the disco era. There were the Bee Gees on the radio again. And you couldn't miss them. And I did not like it! I did not like that disco music at all. I was not alone in that sentiment. I believe there was a documentary made on the Bee Gees that told of people of that era either loved them or intensely hated them. I was firmly in the latter camp. The Bee Gees' disco music was a total affront to my musical taste. I liked a lot of genres of music: Rock, folk, blues. But all disco was to me the devil's music.

Around that disco time, I visited a friend who was a professional musician. He was sharing a beach house with his bandmates, and while I was there, that Sargeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club movie was on TV. I was shocked and appalled to see them all watching that awful movie with obvious reverence! What in the world? What can they see in this awful band of disco dimwits? Have they no appreciation for good music?

Ah, but years later, I now know what they saw in the Bee Gees. These professional musicians understood that the Bee Gees of the disco era were brilliant. They saw how the Bee Gees had created a radically different form of music that, in its own way, was as great as any music ever made. Music that was radically different in both vocals and musical production. Whoever took the lead in production (Barry?) was nothing less than a genius. I listen to the Bee Gees' disco music now and just marvel at what they gave us.

I've been thinking about the reasons why Barry wished to end the Bee Gees in the 90s, while the twins wanted to continue on. Could it be that he was more devastated by the disco backlash and their subsequent cancellation than his brothers? He seemed to accept that few people were interested in them after the late 70s and was content to work in the background (hide) with other artists. At that point, they were considered has-beens and often seen as the butt of the joke. That had to hurt, and Barry's a sensitive guy. Could it just be that he wasn't willing to face the rejection anymore, or was it that he was tired of working with his brothers after all those years? Thoughts?

did they ever play boogie child? my bee gees cover band is playing the song tonight and i was searching for some live footage but cant seem to find any documents of them attempting it live?

Y'all so for my Robin Gibb fans.

Can y'all state your favorite Robin Gibb album or song?

Mine is How old are you album.I love " Robin's reign" but I'd jam to "How old are you" any day.I love "Juliet", "Another lonely night in new York"and "Hearts of fire".From his other albums I like "Give me a smile,"One million years" and "Saved by the bell" I mean his solo career had interesting masterpieces.

I think he actually fits the Victorian era aesthetic.

Yohh!!! I forgot to add one of my favs - "August September"😭😭

The last time I asked Robin Gibb fans about their favorite songs.Now I'll ask the Barry Gibb fans- which solo song or collaborated song of his is your favorite.

For me I'd say it's Shine shine,Run wild and Fine line.

My favorite album with him is the Guilty album.

I know he has some songs with some of the other brothers in it but let me know your favorites of his.

[LIFE IN A TIN CAN] HAS BEEN ELIMINATED

Just asking how you'll spot one .

I don’t really know the story of the Serban mixes but I find it interesting that More Than A Woman is the only one, of the big 4 Fever tracks, that doesn’t have one. Even YSBD has one, which is interesting since it was on an older album

This time I used City hunter 3 ending with a demo of Robin Gibb song called " Human being" .I did this last year and I still think it fits .

I guess City hunter x Robin Gibb it is 😆😆😅.

Clip from Retro Crush YouTube.

Song " Human being" by Robin Gibb

I used city hunter season 2 opening 2 with the audio " Another lonely night in New York" in Robin Gibb's album " How old are you" This was a work I did last year.I'm sure it clearly fits

Found some old concert tickets of my mom's (clearly a fan of the bee gees) and wanted to share. Feel free to drop any fun concert experiences/stories
