I always try to look at music from the standpoint of what the author is attempting to accomplish or convey and did they hit the mark. The more progressive or eclectic the music is, the harder it is to get that measure if one does not get the vibe. It is always the hardest to be the vanguard of a style. No one appreciates it until everyone does, and by that time, it is no longer unique. I know there has been a few times I've heard a cover and then when I went back a listened to a recording of the original band, I think, oh damn, they were rocking that way all the way back then when no one had that sound. Slade(1973)/Quiet Riot(1983) comes to mind.
true. but I caught Haley with a quote on my thread of my own music where he listened to it (according to him) and he said it was "interesting". that's not the most positive review ever, but it's sure not "you suck, I tried to listen and I had to shut it off or else i'd get sick". similar thing with Vamp. never treated me inferior until the disagreements came and after a while of ridiculing my music, he admitted he'd never listened to it (asked me if i'd ever had any luck finding a keyboard player here in AZ). I put him on the spot about the inconsistency and he said he'd always known my music sucked and didn't need to actually hear it to confirm the fact. that's two "
non-trolls " as Sadstrat sees it. guys who actually contribute to this forum by being crabby old assholes (and allegedly great musicians) who post regurgitated info from their favorite political sites. that's how you run a musician's forum in the opinion of this old jackass who just called us out.
and don't even get me started on Jesus boy. he invited me to play on his music. why? ask yourself that.
