you know, I could kind of see it, too...
bizarre...but only kind of, I can't imagine Beth singing "N.I.B." even if I tried, that would be too traumatic
Oh I could see it, no prob
Paranoid? Maybe not, slowed waaaaay down maybe
That's what I've always loved about them, if you took their songs and changed the guitar into heavy chords it's straight Sabbath, her melodies, everything
Remember on the Osbournes where Ozzy said he liked Portishead a lot and everyone was giving him shit for it? He sees it too
One of the best bands ever, in my book

No, I never did see the Osbournes too often...people gave Ozzy shit for liking Portishead? let the man like what he likes!
At first I thought the analogy to Sabbath was bull, but now I really am kind of seeing it...especially with "Wandering Star," that song with that
evil organ-bass track could definitely be turned into a Sabbathy kind of song...

I really think their guitarwork is very underrated as well, people think it's all samples but it's a real band they just sample themselves playing a lot of the time.

Funny you made the Sabbath comparison, my band did a one-off show of Portishead versions the last week and we played Only You in a very Sabbath-like fashion. I agree there's a lot of cool guitar work there.

Fuck off Portishead is a fantastic band in every way
Forget what I said about the new song, it was an old song someone sent me I just hadn't heard before off some comp
