QUOTE (Drew @ Apr 6 2007, 06:07 PM)  But why is that. Every time i was told about a new band that was good people always compared them to one of those classic bands. Are bands from that era just as good as its ever gonna get? Well I don't know honestly I only like the 80s because they play with such feeling and emotion and put that into the music so fans feel it and today it's just about basically nothing but the money and partying for most bands. One band in this era is good but only because they are like 80s and 90s music which is Avenged seven fold and the song bat country is probably their best. Here's a link! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOsIlLC3s_o So do u like them? Decide for your self not what I think! This post has been edited by beebo: Apr 7 2007, 03:37 AM |

QUOTE (JCJXXL @ Apr 7 2007, 10:01 AM) I absolutely cannot stand the "new bands". I prefer the 80s and some early 90's. These bands all sound the same. I can't tell one from the other. I guess that's what happens when everyone plays the same 3 power chords over and over in every song. The Youtube Link = YUCK! Guys, guys, at 40, I"M the one supposed to be saying that the music of today just isn't like the old stuff ... as it is I totally agree with all that has been said, so you must all have great taste and phenomenal music appreciation abilities  I listen to a lot of older stuff -Classic Floyd (after they started writing decent songs, DSOTM and later, but some earlier stuff as well), Led Zep, that kind of stuff, and while some of it was unpolished compared to today, they certainly weren't hiding anything, their playing shone through and the ides seemed fresh. These days I am not looking at guitar based rock for innovation, I prefer some of the new more acoustic based stuff like Damien Rice and Corrine Bailey ray - no wild guitars but at least there is innovation and music there. -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile

I must be lucky then who can appreciate both the 70's, 80's up to modern heavy metal.
 Not all of course, have to agree lots of stuff is not my taste but lately I've learned to even appreciate a vocalist's "growling". It's really a clever way to add a dimension to the voice as an instrument. -------------------- My bands homepage

Let's hope that the lumbering, monotonous, detuned dual rectifier wall of sound is over with so we can get back to something that doesn't make me want to stab myself

Good post Tank - thought provoking ...
Here's a couple of extra thoughts ... One thing the record industry used to do was separate the good stuff from the total dross, finance it and get it out on the streets. A talented A&R man would have a great ear for something new and sign it up. Now it is more of a numbers game as you say, and I think that important function of the record company has been lost or at least buried, A&R men have formula written down ... Loud guitar - check! Growling vocalist - check! Can they play? barely, what the hell - check! But the times they are a-changing. The Record companies used to control everything that got published, but now we have the internet, and cheap and easy recording. Anyone can record an album in their bedroom that technically would have been the despair of Hendrix or Floyd (though not necessarily musically), and they can get it to anyone in the world with an internet connection for free. What we don't yet have in this brave new world is an equivalent of the A&R man to pick out the dross from the genuinely good stuff, and we are stuck doing that ourselves, or going by recommendation. Actually that probably isn't a bad thing- instead of gigging to create a scene, you just need a few file sharing enthusiasts and you can get a vibe going, problem is, its harder to monetize it now - 5,000,000 file sharing fans are great, but you didn't get paid a single cent ... nor am I a great fan of DRM, I think that is the last refuge of the dinosaur record companies trying to hold onto their profits, and even as we speak, it seems to be going away with EMI at least taking the high road. So where does that leave us? I suspect that the days of making millions will shortly be over, but I have hope that if you are good you will be able to make a decent living out of doing something that you love ...
