OT: Music Part V

Some songs are just timeless.

Post-grunge is vindicated with all the garbage coming out today.

 

[Mrb1p]

I don't know about Beatto

this song is made of pure chopped onions

Tabarnak wasn't ready for this. I saw the Cowboys play like 20 times. f***.

 

[angusyoung]

Still going at it, nice to see he hasn't packed it in.

 

[angusyoung]

There will never be a day that I won’t love this:

What is about the song that you love so much? heard it countless times and it's a fine tune but fail to see anything extraordinary about it. Some sort of an emotional attachment or something?

Post-grunge is vindicated with all the garbage coming out today.

It must suck to have such a limited pool of material to choose from, I guess I'm somewhat fortunate that I get to hear a lot of great music having such a broad range of exposure.

 

[angusyoung]

Not all that familiar with either singer but regardless that is one impressive range and performance, hats off .

How is that humanly possible? some sort of hermaphrodite?

Fantastic stuff,great sound. That lad sure doesn't need to workout. lol and the blond on the violin and trumpet is not hard to look at.Feeling like a dirty old man.lol

Don't even know what genre of music they fall in, fusion I suppose, pop, with funk? Somebody might have some clue? Don't see bongos in use that much let alone violins or trumpets.
Ya, they are entertaining for sure, really growing in popularity. Don't know how the lead singer has all that energy being built like a twig. Like that he's super free, dances and performs like nobody watching and doesn't care, freedom! and ya, she's not hard on the eyes.

I’m speaking mainly about the mainstream side of things. There’s still tons of great music coming out, but the quality of mainstream music back then was quite higher than today, and back then, songs like that were often considered generic garbage (which I always disagreed with).

 

[angusyoung]

Driving the crowd into a frenzy



And a little tame unplugged, from one extreme to another

 

[angusyoung]

Saw an interview with Frampton,didn't know he has a disease,sad stuff to hear. Showed and old interview about his most famous song.

All you say comes off as ultra vague, no examples, everyone has a different view of what's what.
Mainstream, like that bubblegum crap nerd shit? Spears, Taylor Swift ,Spice girls etc? Music is produced targeting pre-teens and that targeting to those that are into all those super hero type geek films and those fake reality type garbage shows, and yet they still can have a catchy tune once in a while, like a commercial jingle. That grunge era was so overrated it's funny, not many good songs from that period, a lot of crap that sold though.

I visited some friends a while back in Quebec, many are lifelong musicians and one friend has a recording studio and they all still have their fingers on the pulse and they were saying that there is not much going on that is catching their attention, not much to get excited about anyways, be it English or French. Keep in mind no one is under 60 and were raised with classic rock, rock, hard rock, metal, punk, prog pretty much but diverse at the same time, a good catchy tune is a good catchy tune even if it's not good.

So I had the opportunity to introduce them to music and artists they had no clue about, showing videos and live performances ( I made a mention of this some time ago in some posts, showing some artists, just the tip of the iceberg ) and now a bunch of them are coming over to see some festivals and artists at solo shows. I'll introduce them to a friend and his band that's on the bill at one of the festivals, though not our fav type but they are fun, cool, chill guys.

 

[angusyoung]

I remember watching this video, vividly.

Good times.

Hearing that often and everyday leads me to this song,epic!



Don't know if you know who Tony Iommi is ( Black Sabbath ) He mentioned he got influenced from this tune. Easy to hear how and why.

Two of Canada’s all time best.

Mainstream music as in major label backed music. I'm not only talking about bubblegum pop music, which can also be good music.

The point of my post was; Even the bubblegum stuff was better than the bubblegum of today. Many factors come into play. Technology has diluted the market, the business model changed (more quantitity than quality), less incentives towards creativity in the music business. Everything sounds the same.

I say it because I am in the music business. From the way projects are managed to how people consume music, everything has become more economized than ever. It always was, don't get me wrong, but now the purpose almost entirely serves the profit. At least back in the Puddle of Mudd days, things were a bit more balanced. I think you can hear it in the diversity of the music if you take a look at the charts from back then. Labels could afford to polish and develop artists/bands.

That being said, I know there's a lot of great artists putting out music today. But that wasn't the point of my post. It's not "there's no good music anymore", it's "Post-Grunge aged fine compared to the quality of mainstream music of today". Even the guitar arrangements on that song are way more interesting than what you hear today.

For those that are into his music, Bryan Adams is playing the balloon festival in st Jean sur Richelieu on August 10. You pay around $60 for the tickets so a great deal. The Sheepdogs are opening for him.

 

[angusyoung]

Still waiting for this to be released as a single

A insightful interview with some of the boys discussing the plight of today's music.

Hot air ballooning is a blast! literally and a necessity and easy to learn and some great areas to explore in an almost silent and low overhead point of view,highly recommend it.

It's true what they say, some JOURNEY s just can't end soon enough.

Where did you find these guys? Oh, I see, from the Netherlands (your specialty ).

Astrosoniq's musical style is characterized by extremely psychedelic guitar riffs. The result is stoner rock with a space flavor. It integrates sound clips from old movies, Wonder Woman episodes and other sources. Most continue the themes of fantasy and space.

The band cites classic heavy rock artists as their influences, which can be seen in the heavy guitar riffs and drums.

Some interesting sounds and riffs but could have used some tightening up.

Reminds me of jams I used to have when I was in a band — guitar player would start with a concept and we’d try to build it up and it led to a lot of the type of free styling you find in this cut, all too often stagnating on certain sequences due to hitting a wall and not being able to come up with a suitable progression on the spot. I miss those days.

Band has been active since 1999 and have released 7 albums. Why this cut — is it their best? What others stand out? Thx in advance.

Qu'elle soit extra ou ordinaire
Chaque vie finit d'la même manière
C'est c'qui arrive à la fin du show

The difference is that I can’t always travel to see a band in Europe but now that you bring it up, maybe I could plan a trip around a concert at some point. I’m a music aficionado so why not.

I was led to believe that there were no obstacles in the first place as you've already mentioned that you'd go regardless of price, setlist, venue. Anyways have a cracker of a time if you do get out. Going to different parts of the world and mingling with locals is rewarding and educational but always be on guard.
