Why wouldn't Nick Cave & the Badseeds get a run at Guess?

He can't be any worse than some of the stuff I have heard there.

You show good taste there Mr Slim, & old Nick can't be all bad, why he even did a number with our Kylie

(Beavis @ Jun. 28 2008,13:25) However it was a very pleasant change from every other bar I visited, either in Bangkok or Pattaya, and worth noting for those that didn't appreciate being deafened by distorted techno.

Same here, I dont like been "deafened" by techno even though my music tastes can be anything from  "Jazz" ( Nice) to "Punk Rock" dependant on my mood.

I do however really enjoy my times drinking in the Pool Bar near Big Dogs ( Day-Night bar or whatever its called) where they play Heavy Rock music (AC/DC, Guns n Roses, Stones etc) pretty loud    

P.S. How's Butthead?

when i was spending my nights in the bar in january, they were playing some good tunes,lounge music and some good dance tracks. imo it was a bit loud,but after afew drinks and some good company you tend not to notce it to much. it will never put me of spending my evenings there when in town. roll on september 7

pretty simple - annoying enough to stay away !

IMO the music was not that bad, but the volume was too high for me. Had a hard time talking inside so ended up sitting outside. I wouldn't mind some Nick Cave in the bar either. Missed his concert in May because I was shagging LB's in Thailand so I cannot really complain.

ive never really noticed the music one way or another... my eyes are usually in dominant mode over my ears...

Has anyone noticed a change in music volume or type of music played - I have not been in the bar in a week or so, but I know Jay was surprised at this feedback (not that anyone else was) - her perception is that everyone likes it like that - my retort was the people who like will invariably say so, those that dont, will just check bin and leave (i.e. smart enough NOT to mention it for fear of being negative or critical, which tends not to be so smart in a bar, let alone a LB bar). I think Jay is slowly coming round to understanding that her customer base is for the most part aged between 40-60 and they tend not to be queing up to buy the latest techno CD being released.

Would be interesting to see if there has been any change in what they play though or especially the volume its played at.

Cheers

The poll should have been worded differently.

With dozens of people reading the forum, you will never get any kind of consencus on what TYPE of music....you will likely get several dozen different repliesw

The question should just have been about the volume

So i hope this means Stones and Foo Fighters in the bar.

Why is it that in Thailand, with a few notable exceptions, dance music equates to techno or some cheesy variation ? I'm 51 and can appreciate quality dance...tech-house, minimal and deep house being personal favourites. Just because we're in the 40-60 bracket doesn't automatically mean we're Cleo Laine and Johnny Dankworth fans !
