In the future I hope to invent a small portable EMP device....when I shuffle near a pack of kids (youth tend to congregate like used butts in a urinal), I will just hit the button and whuuuumppfffhtsss!!... crash all their gizmos and toys...knock down their grid, and then whip out my EMP protected sound projector(ill invent that too ) and blast them with some Barry Manilow and watch the quick scatter and the slow writhe in agony... muhahahahah!!

And I won't be wearing any under pants either, so don't chase me!!!

dude, I almost got in a fist fight over Bob Dylan the other night.. fuck Bob Dylan... I'm sure that was the shit back in the day.. but today it's just shit..

I like CCR and The doors.. but I don;t consider it great music.. in my opinion, great bands are nightwish, Therion, Danzig, Slipknot.. those are great bands.. those are great artists..

But at the end of the day, it's all about what speaks to you and your personal experiance and what's inside of you..

Can you imagine the kids of today listening to led zeppelin????

It happens. I previously mentioned how one of my nieces came home from college for Christmas and some of her big news was the "new group" that she and all her friends were into. That "new group" was Led Zeppelin. It hit N.C. State like a sledgehammer and was all the rage so it does happens.

The true classics always remain good and as I said like bell bottoms and miniskirts and hip hugger jeans things go out of style or fashion for a while but they do return and when they do they are BIG and they are loved and the true classic music of the past is no different.

Not all of it is classic, some is just old. What stunk back then still stinks today but the true classics live on and on and while they may go dormant for a while they pop up again and again and they will keep doing so.

Look at how long music like Bach and Beethoven have hung around. Look at how long some operas have hung around. What makes you think that in many years to come someone wont be playing "Layla" or "Freebird" or "Stairway to Heaven" and the "Dark Side of the Moon" songs and others like them?

There will always be someone into them. That is inevitable. They are like the tides, they come in and they go out but they never remain out and instead always come back in.

It sounds like youve done the 1968, "Switched-On Bach" thing on your own. It must be fun to play with old classics and modernize them in some way or another.

While it is not a case of classical music it is an example of an old song updated but look what Jimi Hendrix did with the Star Spangled Banner at Woodstock.

Another few examples, though not of songs as old as the Star Spangled Banner would be the Van Halen/David Lee Roth versions of "Thats Life" and "Im Just a Gigolo" and "(Oh) Pretty Woman" and "Dancing in the Streets" and ZZ Tops version of "Viva Las Vegas."

A good group can cover just about anything that was good if they are imaginative enough give it a new sound but still retain enough of what made it a hit in the first place and have a hit of their own.

Quiet Riot did it with The Runaways
"Mamma Weer All Crazee Now," though I admit that is not a good example because it was a rock song to begin with and just covered but it does show that if you take something good from the past, far enough back in time that it is not familiar with your present day audience, and do it well you have a hit on your hands.

Music is like so many others things, and maybe even more so in that quality lasts, it is something timeless and it does not really age or become dated.

Many songs of the 60's and 70's that were big then now seem really dated and just do not work, like most Emerson, Lake and Palmer songs, but some are as fresh today as the day they first came out and that is because that had something special to them, something that does not lose its power and feelings over time.

A group can have a number of gold and platinum records and in ten years or more people hear them and want to stick their finger down their throats and puke but songs like "Sympathy for the Devil" live on and on.

Real music is what you listen to on the radio and from CDs etc. and fake music is what you hear in your head when nothing is actually playing. You know, like when dogs tell you to kill your ex-girlfriend or boss or something.

DONT LISTEN TO FAKE MUSIC!!!!!

mastakoosh · Feb 8, 2009

so you are saying i shouldnt listen to mr. chompers when he says to kill people?? because he is my voice of reason..

All i listen to is real music from highly accomplished musicians,ive got zero time or appreacation for one hit wonder rap stars looking tough/talkin shit & acting cool,all the while none of them can play a single musical instrument.

The Allman Bro's are one of my favorite bands & we've seen them live 3 times,my favorite version of the Allman's is with Derick Trucks on guitar,the whole multiple percusionest aspect of the Allman brohters is what makes their music hit me so heavily.

It's a shame that so many young people think that rap music is where it's at because they are missing some of the worlds greatest new talents develope right before their very eye's,their missing it all because all they crave is computer generated back beat music being looped in the back ground, while some fake ghetto tough guy raps,new world class artists like Les Claypool,Dweezil Zappa or Buckethead go totally un noticed and un apprecaited for the legandary musical abilities they are developing,all the while no musical talent rap hero's who sing about drinking syzrup or gang bullshit are emulated & adored as a person they should aspire to be.

I think its a great thread you started & one that young people should pay attention to,music is a very important part of life & is one of the most accomplished art forms we could ever have,an entire generation has lost any apprecaition for musical genious & has mistakenly replaced musical talent/genius with rap music that is written with target audiences in mind.

IMO rap music has done irreparible damage to the whole world of music & holds no more cultural value than a popular tv sitcom.

Got In Memory of Elizabeth reed on now, by the Allman Brothers if you didn't know already. Thanks be to Shiva man I'm a child of the sixties and seventies..we still had music back then.... Saw Stevie Ray Vaughn twice in small venues, modern stuff I dig too I just prefer the vintage, plus I'm classically trained (12 years) so I have these "very serious opinions" that drives my ex wife a little crazy...

yeah, if you turn on radio or music television these days, you will find out that (sadly) the guitar solo has died...

Guitar solo,everybody plays guitar like a demon now days,kids lost interest in learning to play a real guitar & prefer to invest their time mastering how to play a fake plastic air guitar that hooks up to their X Box.

Kids think rap is music, which it is not,its spoken word entertainment at best but surely not music as we know it.

One of my all time fav travel album for the road is Eric Clapton's 651 Ocean Boulevard. Motherless children shows off his slide work.... :clap:

You may be wise to consider getting a second opinion on such things.

While I normally go in for more heavy rock at times for long drives something more laid back works for me and one of them that does really well for me is "A Decade of Steely Dan." There are just so many great tunes on that CD that I dont find myself searching for something else to put it in after a few songs have played and there are several not so good songs between good ones.

Another similar choice for me is "The Next Voice You Hear The Best of Jackson Browne." Again so many great tunes that you dont get tired of it and you dont get bored waiting for something else really good to play. Its just one good one after another just like the Steely Dan CD.

you should stop speaking on music that you have no idea about. just because you don't like it, it does not mean you know about it.

When rappers learn to play an instrument I'll consider it music.

MTV ruined music and turned it into show and image rather than substance.

Anyone listen to real music?
