I grew up with a legendary guitarist as a father. He told me from age four that I'd surpass him as a guitarist and a musician and I did. With his help and guidance, I've been able to make a living composing music for film and TV. That said, I completely and fully love guitarists. I've been onstage with Les Paul and Al DiMeola and Larry Carlton and Larry Coryell and countless others. But being able to play guitar hasn't defined me. Quote:

I refuse to believe that bandaids on Aikey Breaky Hearts little sperm drip is what goes for music these days. Where has Hollywood and the Music gone wrong?

Seems that way. Just find it a different way than it used to be and the streaming services for the most part make it immediately accessible.

All music is subjective.
This is like the 4th time you've said that. |

"Great" to you is "shit" to someone else. Unless you're willing to lay your ass on the line and say " THIS band is great and will be still touring and selling out arenas in 30 years", your definition of "great" is meaningless. |

I don't give a shit about the business side of the music.

And convenient!
Don't worry, it might take a few decades and we might all be dead by then, but music will become profitable again in some way. Or it won't and it'll take its place next to whittling or chinese papermaking and be another mysterious piece of history. who knows Last edited by Chromatic; 09-17-2015 at 12:59 AM.. |

sorry, but there is nothing more pathetic than a thread full of old guys lamenting the fact that the music of their youth is no-longer popular...
"today's music sucks!!!!" I remember my dad saying that... If your favorite music is classic rock and that is all you've listened to for years, you are stuck, your brain is no-longer making those connections. Music changes, it evolves... I'm lucky that by being a musician I have been somewhat forced to stay with the current music, also I have a 17 year old daughter that has awesome taste in music... Tame Impala, Portugal The Man, etc... There is some really cool stuff out there! The problem with music today is the throw away disposable society in which we live, BITD people would latch onto bands and be 'loyal' to them for years/decades, today's listeners are fickle, it's a rarer today for an artist to have more than one successful album. A big part of that is what I call the 'fashion show' of music, where in the past there were 4 or 5 genres of music, today there are hundreds, there is a much smaller piece of the pie for the artist and it's much more difficult to separate the wheat from the chaff... my 2¢... |
