how old are you anyway???
I am 24 going on 44.
You're only 24 and you are this bitter about music? We need to take you to some shows. Want to go see Bad Religion at Warped Tour? They are e-mazing!
What is the difference between e-mazing and amazing? :-P
e-mazing is when something is amazing, but online.
I don't think anyone today plays a guitar like Van Halen or Richie Sambora or Alex Lifeson or Jimmie Page. And you know what, that paints the picture of a truly magnificent rock n roll band. Just about all the rock I hear today is just loud with no truly intricate sounds played. You only hear it from bands that have been around for years. Sometimes good vocals make up a little for that. That band Evanescence is decent. But they still rank nowhere near the greats. I believe the truly great bands have come and gone. An era of music is dying. Once U2, Bon Jovi, Rush, and some others are gone, what are we left with? Britney Spears? Justin Timberlake? Snoop Dog? Michael Jackson live from Rykers Island?
i'm just curious, what do u think about Nirvana? Do u think they were this god-like band that the media makes them out to be?(ps i sho' dont, but i'm sorry Kurt C was such a tortured individual)
I think people get confused when they label Nirvana as god-like. A major part of their greatness was their originality at the time and the utter different-ness of them compared to everything else that was out at the time. They do play amazing music but I think the different-ness makes people give them the god label.
technique wise, and, skill wise, that band wasn't that good....a person could literally have been playing their instrument for a year & play their stuff easily - you're right, the only reason they made such a splash is cause of it's stark contrast to what was happening around them - it was like heavy w/out being HEAVY....basically, agressive music, for the masses - wasn't too abrasive for people not to get into, but still packed an angst filled punch..personally i don't like'm that much though
ever see the wierd al yanovic parody of smells like teen spirit?
a RIOT!
Okay..if you think Evanescence is decent then you've heard nothing yet! They're okay I guess..but there is soooo much better stuff out there then that. Stay away from MTV..it's poisoning your mind.
i NEVER watch MTV. i just listen to the stuff my kids play ( i mean how can i not??? its so dang loud!)
I don't watch MTV. I just heard one of their songs on the radio and liked it. I don't think their great, just very good vocals.
seriously, live her voice is horrible....its sad because i thought her voice was hauntingly fascinating, but live....she let me down
