Ozzy: Being in a band is dying art
Do you agree?
Ozzy Osbourne says the rise of technology in music means bands are losing the ability to jam and shape ideas together. And the Black Sabbath icon – who's the subject of a free TeamRock iPad supplement – has first-hand experience of the phenomenon. Ozzy tells Noisey.com: “The computer age is taking over and there's a lot of trickery. I've actually seen guys in bands. You go, 'Do you want to jam?' and they go, 'Jam? What's that?' Just playing anything together. They can't do it. 'I'll have to consult my computer first.' The art of being in a band is dying.” The singer says he's always proud when another musician is influenced by Sabbath – and he doesn't just mean by the music. He says: “I have people at Ozzfest going, 'Man, if it wasn't for Sabbath... we owe you so much.' I go, 'What part of this is influenced by Sabbath?' I get where they're coming from but it's not the music, it's what it says to the people. “Metal has never had any rules. If you want me to do something, tell me not to. I've never played by any rules. My sole concern is to get on that stage and give the audience a great day out. I want to give my heart and soul when I play, and that's God's honest truth.” Ozzy recently released his retrospective set Memoirs Of A Madman – after revealing that Sabbath are gearing up to record their final album next year. http://classicrock.teamrock.com/news...d-is-dying-art |

I mourn just as much the death of high fidelity and dynamic range in the age of MP3s and compression.

I dont believe Ozzy said any of this. Even if he did there's no way anyone understood him.

Being in a band is a dying art and these kids today don't know how to jam...
...says Ozzy, guy who quit a band to spend most of his career solo and who, as far as I know, plays no instrument with which to jam. |

Partially because the rock labels are not looking for anything new. They like the same type bands with the same type lyrics. There's tons I bands out there that are better than the crap they play on the radio that most will never know about because the labels aren't telling them to play those artists.

Here's a quick google snag comparing compressed and uncompressed mastering
Basically, studios compress audio so it's all at the same volume, but that takes the tension and passion out of the music than lulls and swells provide. A good example of a well mastered track. notice all the ambients that are preserved, down to clinking of glass and silverware in the bistro. you can hear the difference between vamping and blowing. Fidelity is harder to discuss online, as all the examples will be in the same lo-fi streaming quality. But there is vinyl which is analog [not without its limitations] and SACD and high bitrate digital, and of course master tapes, that are, to a trained ear, as different as SD and HDTV.

Just paid almost $200 a seat to see Pearl Jam in Tulsa. Worth every penny, 4 hours of just a great band, I'm not dying with anything but memories.

I'm only kidding - he certainly knew how to brand himself - he's no dummy, ok, maybe NOW he is - but - I liked Diary of a Madman - but I was only like 13 so I didn't really know music that well. I was in to Iron Maiden mostly - at that time, which is hilarious looking back.
