i just have to do this....
As a musician, i have to jump in here for a sec....
first:
triforce, u r either 12 or on ludes, or both. all together. schubert is the only soulless classical music i can think of.
/i like music were REAL musicians show off REAL fuck'n talent.
/fuck Britney Spears and her 3 doller bill music talent, and fuck the back street boys (they could nobb off my pecker before id notice any talent coming from them.) its all a scam.
this i would agree with, but... isn't this the same guy that was talkin' about snoopy dogg? That guy is part of such a huge and terrible corporate machine, and so over produced, that even if he had any talent (maybe he does), you wouldn't be able to tell. And i'm not some "i only listen to jazz" elitist, either, the original NWA had promising aspects, and let's face it, the beastie boys are genius, and i do mean genius, put em in a boat with mozart, vivaldi, brubeck, and whoever else will fit in there, ok, so they're not always serious, and that want broad appeal, but seriously they treat music like music, and have talent, anyone who listen's to the rest of the "corporate gangster testosterone rap" is an idiot, and probably doesn't get laid enough.
rock that doesn't suck: system of a down, they play real instruments, metalica is a horrible cliche, and his vocals make me wanna nominate hooty for a grammy, and that guy is ALWAYS half a step flat. RHCP i have a real soft spot for, i listen to them, but i'll be honest, they blow chunks too (except flea) kiedis is the worst lead singer i've ever seen live. i mean, everybody likes mcdonald's sometimes, though, it doesn't make it "ok" though.
The doors are probably the best band ever, since they never had a shitty period like the beatles did (everything pre rubber soul makes me wanna kill someone), and their albums are phenomenal right until jim was killing himself with whiskey during "the soft parade", which still has some merit.
all the late beatles is awesome, hendrix is a great guitarist, bob dylan SUCKS, that's the 60's in a nutshell.
The 80's was probably the worst decade in the history of music, at least that i can single out, outside of the violent femmes, the sex pistols (who weren't good musicians, but from a nouvo (sp?) art stance, not bad, and some random U2 and early (punk based) b-52's. it's all an abysmal electronic crap fest. oh yeah, and kraftwork invented techno, they are cool, at leat very creative (excluding the forementioned NWA and beasties of course).
the 90's brought a champion of mediocrity, cobain, who was killed by his absolutely trite and horrific wife HOLE, who is everything that name signifies. He had alot of creative knowledge, and was almost interesting until all the crappy perl jam clones came out, including stp and half of everything, but there were some real groove based up spots in the 90's including:
system, they are just a c+ though,
rage against the machine, one of the best modern bands, if one dimensional.
primus, now there's a band of actual musicians, go listen (if his voccals are almost as bad as kirk homelet's (intentional typo)).
and maybe a few i'm forgetting, there was some good stuff in the 90's.
so far the oughts have been really disappointing for me. i can listen to coldplay when i go to sleep, and radiohead is interesting live, if absolutely ludicrous on cd, 311 and system are still doing what they do well, and it's pretty good i guess, but kinda ho hum, but let's face it, the 80's retro corporate silicon britney n'sync $hit is the current paradigm, and i for one would hang myself, if i didn't think my being here saying all this was the last glimmer of hope in the future of art for our species.
if you want REAL unfettered brilliant music and performance go download everything by the chiefains, some early latin jazz, and pink floyd bootlegs.
oh yeah, and i've PLAYED beethoven's 7th (second chair viola), and the 2cnd movement is awesome, i liked how they used it in the mini series wild palms too, if any of u can get a hold of that on video.....
and now the thing that makes this whole post horse $hi+...
obligatory spam for my own band!!
