MUSIC: the official thread.

If this diznae make you wanna blub into yr malt...

 

Very nice

Lovely guitar playing, very tasteful mandolin work, a lyrical violin solo (focused on the instrument's lower register for a change) and good rhythm section... snare sound is a bit heavy for such a tune, but that's the producer' fault and it's not that bad... I like it very much ... evocative portrait of sadness but bittersweet (the happy birds, etc) and the music matches

Chooon

 

Anyone remember these back in the day?

 

Ugh... they were fucking awful!

 

Like horrendous, right?
Lead-singer played the 'arsehole frontman' perfectly.

 

I remember he was on MTV performing at some festival or something and it started pouring rain and I was just begging for a lightning strike

 

Bush
Creed
Staind
Nickelback
(and numerous other shit one-word named bands who rode in on the end of early-90s Grunge: hard/heavy rock music for people who don't like any other type of hard/heavy rock music, e.g. owns 'Nevermind', 'Appetite For Destruction' and 'Metallica' (Black Album)...maybe a Foo Fighters or Red Hot Chilli Peppers compilation)

All fucking awful-sounding, boring, no character, pieces-of-dogshit-excuses for bands.

 

Basically killed off rock music

Rock and Roll is totally meaningless to today's young people because to them it means bands like that and nobody wants to be associated with shit like that

 

Probably attributing more significance to bush than theyre due, there

 

Plus, I know exactly the type of cunt who likes those bands/ that music.

 

Could be, but that 'classic rock' (horrible term) was (and is) always going to slowly die off anyway...

 

I don't.

 

I wasn't talking about Bush but all those bands, those kinds of bands, the whole aesthetic

 

There were others in that period? Ive erased them from my mind

 

What?

Read Mustard's post just before mine

 

BAWJAWS

 

LUCKY YOU.

 

Talking of great music that cunts today wouldnt like or understand - Steely Dan.
You'll probably hate this type of question but:
• Best album
• Best song
• Best guitar solo

 

1. Pretzel Logic
2. Man, that's impossible!
3. So's that!

 

How about for you? Same questions...

 

• The Royal Scam
• (this week?) Kid Charlamagne/Josie
  
• (this week?) Chain Lightning/Night By Night

Remember earlier, I spoke about the types who like modern 'rock-pop' music? (Foo Fighters/RHCP/Muse/etc), I once loaned him Aja, The Royal Scam & Countdown To Ecstasy - nothing, not a clue, couldn't get into it whatsoever...and even worse, he was learning (and doing quite good) to play guitar - bought a proper Fender Telecaster and Fender 50wt Blues Amp-Combo...

 

Some people don't like cheesy crap

 

And they're usually the people I've mentioned: easily-pleased arseholes with no or limited musical creed or knowledge or taste.

 

You have crap taste

 

Yeah, I"d agree with that...

 

Chain Lightning... Rick Derringer said he was nervous as hell when he heard what they wanted him to play over ... knocked it out of the park! One of the classic Steely Dan solos

I love all your choices

 

But you don't know anything about music, though ... so you're confused

 

You seem to be confused as to a fundamental aspect of all art, which is that its beauty lies in the eyes of its beholder. You somehow get it when it comes to painting. But it escapes you when it comes to music.

 

The beholder who lacks any fundamental understanding lacks the capacity to appreciate beauty

You're lazy

 

I've listened to music all my life. I understand plenty.
