Members Ibanezman06 Posted February 25, 2007 Members Share Posted February 25, 2007 Adults are to popular music as todlers are to bedtime stories: They like to hear the same thing over and over again. The familiarity is comforting. Most people are stuck listening to the music they heard in their teens and 20's. And they don't particularly want to expand their horizons. sounds exactly like my dad. me, i get new music like every week. past AND present stuff. hey frets, you went back to your old avatar.

Members allthumz Posted February 25, 2007 Members Share Posted February 25, 2007 The catalogue of great rock 'n roll is HUGE. Finding current, new great rock 'n roll takes time, money plus trial and error. Everthing else I do in my life is with an eye on the future. I'll stick with what I already know to be great when it comes to music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jerry_picker Posted February 25, 2007 Members Share Posted February 25, 2007 Romance > reality In art, romance often = reality. It's not like we are inventing new notes or new modes to express ourselves.And anger, lust, love, sadness, hope are as old as our species. A lot of it is comfort with the familiar... Sometimes chainsaw guitars and vocals on the edge of puking are just what is needed to shake us up! :phil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Coralkong Posted February 25, 2007 Members Share Posted February 25, 2007 And sometimes an hour of chainsaw guitars and vocals on the edge of puking make my head hurt. I'm going to start a thread of most innovative rock guitarists and see who pops up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members favata5 Posted February 25, 2007 Members Share Posted February 25, 2007 I think it's a self-explanatory question. Because the music of the past has real soul,feeling and talent,,not to say at least actually told a story!! hmmm cant really think of anything new that can do that,,,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The familiarity is comforting. Most people are stuck listening to the music they heard in their teens and 20's. And they don't particularly want to expand their horizons. Too true. I think adults use music to remind themselves of a place and time. Many old people don't like to grow old. They are afraid of growing old. Their music takes them back to a time when they were younger and less pathetic. It no longer becomes an intelectual stimulant. It becomes a refection of good times long past.

Members SlayerofShadows Posted February 25, 2007 Members Share Posted February 25, 2007 I listen to mostly new stuff, but a good chunk of old stuff as well. The only part of the past I'm stuck in is trying to make sure that I don't make the mistakes that I made before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Arkhan Posted February 25, 2007 Members Share Posted February 25, 2007 new bands are retarded. Every band on MTV is a bunch of gimps in girls pants with "stylish" (read: retarded looking) haircuts singing and whining and yelling, with a bunch of sterile guitar riffs. The result is 40 scene kids running to guitar center to "Shred" on the same lespaul those goons from My Chemical Romance play on TV...... ......speaking of. New bands have stupid names too. "BEtween the buried and me", "My Chemical Romance", "Panic at the Disco".........theyre a bunch of whiney high school graduates trying to sound poetic. The voice of MY generation sucks, so Ill turn back 20 years and use that voice instead. Or how about Nickleback. If you play that whole CD with no pause between songs, it sounds like one continuous horrible song...... And ditto on the b a n a n a s comment. oh and we all love the cockrock bands that show up on stage with Gretsch setzer models to play drop D powerchords with a Metalzone pedal. Its like they saw ted nugent once on TV and went totally retarded. "HES GOT A HOLLOWBODY, HES SO METAL!!!! OOOOO" Yeah, no. and then kids go have their mommy buy them 5000$ worth of crap so they can start a band just like the ones on MTV. Result? Noise pollution blah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mister Zero Posted February 26, 2007 Members Share Posted February 26, 2007 Just checking out the MP3s on my computer: The only artists on there who released their first album post-1990 are: The Darkness, Creed/Alter Bridge, Pearl Jam and Brad Paisley. Well Velvet Revolver, but they're really a spin-off of GnR, so there ya go. I'd much rather listen to some old VH, AC/DC, Bad Co, Zep, Clapton, Maiden, or Priest than any of the newer stuff.

Members Mr.Mow Posted February 26, 2007 Members Share Posted February 26, 2007 forget about the stagnation of the record industry for a bit what about gear? living in the past again {censored}, they just got it right in the 50's didn't they?! 1951 to 1960 or so.. Fender Telecaster, Fender Stratocaster, Fender PBass, Gibson Les Paul, Gibson Flying V, Gibson Explorer, Gibson SG, Marshall amps.. I mean WOW.. Its just going to take one HUGE innovation to move forward.. Everything we play these days is just a variation on the classics.. Until there is a mind blowing new form of music, I can't see any required innovation, all the music being played now is just rehash of the last 50 years. Same goes for fashion.. when was the last time you saw something 'now' as opposed to 'oh look, the 60's is back.... again...'. Stagnant times.. Need another world war to stir it up..
