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.
 
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
 
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 :D
 
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

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
 
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
 
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
 
I have loved so many different music styles from Deep purple to Dolly parton,Snow patrol Leomard Cohen,Ac/Dc (well you have to if your a spark) Johanne Strausse to The Beatles and Stones and Kerrang station groups, who I can no longer name.but some of it is brill
Some of todays music rates alongside these for quality

I even liked Bob Dylan ​

until I found out it was HE who started Rap poetry and included it in a music album.I cant bring myself to call Rap "music"
It pains me to have to endure it in my home

A bit too heavy for me.. I can see individually they have talent to play there instruments, but all together.. It's a bit too much for me
 
Machinehead is an awesome song. Nothing wrong with a bit of Slipknot, System of a down or Pantera to wake you up in the morning!

Ok if you don't like the music that is out there at the moment how about starting a band?
I am quite good with the spoons if thats any help. Oh and I got chucked out of the choir when I was nine.
So that just leaves a drum, bassist, guitarist, and singer to find oh and of course we need a name!!!
 
The trio are pretty good. It's swarming a bit to close to My Chemical, Fall out boy etc. being an axe man, I like my guitar work!

Been there & done that in my early days. Just do my own recording now & occasionally get with some other musicians for a jam

I have to agree! Something really sexy about that. Had a thing for female bassists years ago. Sean from White Zombie (who I met at the Barrowlands) & Rayna from Coal chamber....yum!

This thread made me realise the last gig I went to was this time last year to see Them Crooked Vultures. I wanted to go to the Foo Fighters at Milton Keynes, but no way would my back hack standing around there.

A bit of searching the web required tomorrow for gigs.
 
even most modern rock is rubbish these days
the occupation of rock star ticks all the boxes for my 16 year old(that ship well and truly sailed for me years ago!)n the stuff he listens to is tuned down to about A
all bottom end and no melody .
interchangeable bands with interchangeable singers and interchangeable songs,to my ears anyway,isaw alter bridge with black stone cherry couple of weeks ago n the musician ship was top notch.kinda spoiled by the modern sound mans way of putting the bass way up in the mix so all u can hear is bass and drums.god almighty I'm turning into my dad.
