What ever happened to "Music"??

[dingledong]

sorry i'm drinking again

There is a Rock station here in Glasgow. It's now called Real XS. It was called Rock Radio but has been bought over. Musics still good & some of the original DJ's are there like Tom Russell but Father Ted is now gone...gutted!

There's still a good load of proper music out there mate you just need to dig through mountains of computer generated crap to get to it. Motorhead are still around so as long as they're still going I know it'll be ok

How true that is
The talent is still there, but the industry itself is at fault for promoting the garbge that "it" decides that the public wants to hear,individual songs are as good now as any from the sixties and onwards

 

[dingledong]

des i have to disagree from watcing x factor the talent is not there also the electronics usen in this industry now is unbelievable i did see on tv a group asked to sing live , it was awful but the record was quite good sorry it sounded good in that it sounded like they could sing. its all hype and money

cliff come back all is forgiven or release rolph's 2 little boys

The thing is Des, Kids are now force fed a diet of X Factor manufactured "stars" and the computer generated nonesense prepared by a geek in his bedroom. It seems like there's no such thing as real musicians any more (even though we know better) Yes some songs are still great, even though I'm a dyed in the wool metaller I have a lot of time for some modern music, but some od the stuff I hear coming out of my kid's bedrooms is just awful repetetive crap
How about a campaign to have Simon Cowell declared illegal

What about someone singing acapella?

 

[diditrain]

Working on a building site once and one of the joiners brought an old guitar that he had found somewhere and he was strumming it as if he was a rock star.
He then gave it to another elderly joiner who knew how to play one, before long we were all huddled around him and mesmerised by his ability. Singing and playing the guitar to the song from an american werewolf in london and many others.

Acapella is awesome if done well (tuning is the first step in that direction followed by vocal tone).

So is a song with just a grand piano and a vocalist.

We just need to find a way to wean people off the stuff that is being churned out of the pop industry.

Went to see Deep Purple at NEC a fornight ago - Rock GODS! Fantastic, awesome gig. Just bought the CD (Live at Montreux 2011) too.

Been listening to Kerrang Radio and Planet Rock for about a year or so and they have renewed my faith in new rock, but it says a lot that the big successful rock tours are from the likes of AC/DC, Quo, Whitesnake, Leppard, Purple etc etc

I've had Ed Sheran in the van all week (well not him personally, just his cd) and to defend modern music he is brilliant. Who would have thought that a white, ginger hear 20 something could do suburban rap with a guitar! Double platinum album, just goes to show that a few of us can realise great music when we hear it.

As for most of the charts these days its all like nursery rhymes with a back beat and a sexy smile. People like Simon cowell are killing talented musicians and the people like us on this thread from hearing fantastic music that will stand the test of time.

Any way, I'm off now to put on "the best of West Life" cd to relax on a Sunday evening, might follow that up with JLS but their lyrics are too meaningful for me to comprehend.

thats just singing..

 

[Des 56]

In our local clubs we get "acts" people going round singing with generated electronic music, I dont disagree with comments about computer generated rubbish.

These "acts" always give better entertainment when accompanied, ie as part of a group who are generating their own music
(but its cheaper to pay for just the one entertainer,so the opportunities for groups has gone)

My point about songs of today,is that putting aside music presentaion as it stands,the writing of the songs and some of the singers are as good now as ever


Rap music excluded,I dont even consider that garbge as music,it should be re labelled modern poetry,it has no relationship to music as such

 

[vernam616]

I very rarely hear something i like now, its all shouting/talking/rap crap

Absolute Radio 80's or Absolute Radio 90's for me on the

Makita Onsite DAB Radio

 

[trev]

Rap used to be good Des, when it had a message. Now it's just a bunch of black guys talking about how cool they are and how many ho s the have. Oh and Eminem whining on about his problems with his mother/ex wife/ daughter

 

[alarm man]

i blame x factor..in fact i blame the daft wench downstairs(aka the wife) for watching it,and all the other sheep who think little mix are a proper band...:evil2:

this is a band this is real music,not some manufactured x factor (insert own word) music for the masses rubbish....

Bush - Personal Holloway (Live at Bizarre Festival 1997) - YouTube

[dingledong]

how about a wager here if little something win how long before one wants to go on and do it on her own ( i presume they make more money ) i say 2 years to the day they win if they do

 

[dingledong]

what i dont understand about rap is when you watch the video they have half a ton of gold some good looking sortrs all around them and there still moaning about everything

 

[trev]

Just think Alarm Man 2 of Little Minx are from our home town. Doesn't that make you proud?
It doesn't for me because Ginger from The Wildhearts is also and John Miles lives in Boldon
