@@ghiblet I would say they are discordant enough to be solos. They're really only sharing a rhythm, not much harmony. By your logic it isn't a guitar solo unless the bass and drums shut up.
I generally think of Jemaine as doing the best voices, and he does have a career as a voice actor. But they're both so damn good at everything. It's weird. They have such different looks, but they're essentially interchangeable.
@@adamkatt uuhhhh.... I didn't know if I let my boys watch flight of the Conchords I'm pretty sure one of them would draw some Stars on themselves in a place that David Bowie supposedly recommended Brett do.... Or start singing about their sugar lumps..
I think finding a best-friend at this level should be called "finding your Conchord". Similar to Matt and Trey (South Park). Thankful for comedy today ^^
They are a living legend. Would love to see them some day... I have this feeling like all similar guy groups like Ylvis and Tenacious D are inspired by them :)) Although Tenacious D might be older, not sure now.
Thanks to this I need them to made the score of a period movie or a parody period movie and that they starring it as the troubadours who follow the characters while playing and telling the story like the rooster in Robin Hood. I picture Jemaine as the over-confident one with his He-Man haircut and with a large pencil mostache, giving sassy smiles the whole time while Bret would be the shy one who's actually smarter, wearing a hat with a big feather on it.
I always get the impression that they dont follow the exact lyrics every performance. They know the songs so well that they improvise new jokes every performance and sing it a little differently. They probably practice many different performances of the same songs
They hardly ever cut out bits (unless they just not remember them) but they do improvise a lot and add things... Personally I think it's a better song when Brett is in it...
The performance at the 02 last month was great, they did a really extended version of Faux du Fa Fa, with lots of insult throwing in french xD The version they did of this also had a few extra lines, about how Jermaine got a picture ID..."a very unflattering tapestry" ;)
They're Kiwi. I once observed an online thread in which a whole bunch of random Kiwis spun a wild deadpan story about a tradition of eating spiders in New Zealand. I think it's a national superpower.
