My friend the future of music looks mighty grim.

First it was The "The Band" craze and now it seems every band is a carbon copy of every other pisssed off emo kid band.

We need more bands like Slunt and less like Hawthorne Heights.

*shrug* i'm a goth, so i don't listen to most of the mainstream stuff, all sounds like bad attempts at goth anyways these days. better to listen to gorups like inkubus sukkubus, collide, etc etc. imo.

Canadian goth...LMAO

Anywho...I think music is on a cycle right now, and in about 12 years or so everything will be back to post bop jazz and blues.
I really don't like much new music at all...there are a few decent rock bands I will listen to, but most of the new stuff is garbage.

If you don't know music, it's great. But if you're a real musician, this stuff will drive you crazy. The bass player sits on his ass ad plays the root or third of every chord on all four, and the guitar's just straight eighth power chords. If you want to hear actual music, go back to the late 70s and early 80s, and listen to bands like Led Zeppelin. Or farther back to Hendrix, or the even back to the Beatles.

There's still some bands out there that have a clue though. Dave Matthews is solid. Audioslave knows music. OAR's ok. Three Doors Down is wimpy but they know their shit too.

Hell, I still listen to jazz. I really like the modern stuff too. Chris Potter, Dick Oatts, Kenny Garrett, Lou Donaldson, Vincent Herring...Lenny Pickett's a bad ass too.

No offense to the fans, but most of this goth stuff I don't really consider worthy of a label, just because it takes almost no skill to do what they're doing. Especially the instrumentalists. Some of the vocalists are decent, but the bass and guitar player's are idiots.

Why couldn't we just be happy with Metallica?:confused:

I'm only in my early 40's but what is described as music these days doesn't hold a candle to the classic rock era Golf is talking about above.

Beatles, Stones, Who, Hendrix, Floyd, Zeppelin, the list could go on forever but THAT was music...not this simpering "I'm so angry at the world because my parents are making me move out when I'm 28" 3 chord crap put out now by the overly indulged younger generation.

true goth is about the voice, the flow, and the feel. even 80s goth, if you listen, is almost entirely about the atmosphere of a song, and the voice of the singer. more like the modern trance stuff. the indutrial stuff is semi-ok, but in general most "poseur goth" music is pretty bad. again, the flow, the feel... the culture pretty much.

and i never listened to metallica, it's not my style.

here: an example of goth music, not the absolute best, i happen to really like this piece:

The Who and Pink Floyd blew all the new bands off the stage.....different league!!

I've just got to agree...they shaped an entire music era...


...Lets add some more...


....Jefferson Airplane....The Doors....Roberta Flack....Manhattan Transfer....The Eagles....Santana....Creedence Clearwater Revival....Janis Joplin....Steve Miller....from that era, too...

...oh, and definitely the Moody Blues....& Bob Dylan...maybe even the Mommas & Pappas...



I've got CD's of all this old stuff - and I tell you....its amazing music...

Those kind of people created an original music template...they created a music revolution....


...We've seen or heard nothing like the power of it since, IMO...

hey DU:

Nice to see someone else appreciates the Moody Blues music.:thumbsup:

[bahumbug]
