Members billybilly Posted April 25, 2012 Members Share Posted April 25, 2012 I've decided to begin shooting a lot of video of myself so when I die, can still hang out with everybody as a hologram. First on the cards, a Christmas video of me singing and playing guitar for my family, shown every Christmas. Second, me eating Christmas dinner... they play it while they are eating around the table.

Members Flatspotter Posted April 25, 2012 Members Share Posted April 25, 2012 It's really not any worse than paying to see Britney Spears lip sync. I wouldn't pay to see a hologram, but if that's what people want to spend their money on, that's fine with me. I'm mostly in favor of things that separate people from their money. Capitalism!

Members AVisme Posted April 25, 2012 Members Share Posted April 25, 2012 I thought of a context where a show via hologram would be cool. If a band couldn't be in a certain place, whether because of visa problems, bad weather, travel delays, or if there was an awards show going on while they were on tour somewhere else. They could do a performance in one spot with hologram cameras on them and beam that to another location. But those guys would still be alive and actually playing.

Members soundcreation Posted April 25, 2012 Members Share Posted April 25, 2012 I thought it was pretty {censored}ing cool. It probably freaked a few people out too. It looked very realistic on the clips I saw. If Dre wants to drop a couple hundred grand (apparently) to do it then more power to him. As for the people saying rap IS {censored} and has NO talent eat a dick up..... you ignorant mother {censored}ers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Funkwire Posted April 25, 2012 Members Share Posted April 25, 2012 Doesn't bother me. A few years ago there was a tour with the band that backed Elvis in the 70s. They played the music live, with isolated vocal tracks of Elvis, while footage of him performing live was projected on a videoscreen. You just KNOW somebody is working on an Elvis holgram right now.Like a lot of you, it's not something I'd rush out to spend money on...but acts like Elvis, Tupac, etc. that have a big following who didn't discover them until after they died, you bet they'd love to see a virtual re-creation of them.And can we drop the whole "rap is not music" thing already? I know for a fact I'm older than most of the people here...and I'm expecting any moment to be told to get off somebody's lawn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members A Happy Crowd Posted April 25, 2012 Members Share Posted April 25, 2012 I thought the Tupac hologram was pretty cool. From what I've read, the Coachella performance was partially celebrating 20 years of Dr Dre and Snoop Dogg working together and, at a high profile event, they were able to pay tribute to their fallen friend. Other people will abuse the technology, sure, but when that happens, there's simply no need to support it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Infi-del Posted April 25, 2012 Members Share Posted April 25, 2012 You can learn a lot if you open up your ears. So in other words you have no evidence to support your so called fact? I didn't think so. A lot of talk is what I would expect from a rap fan. I enjoyed rap when it was original and had something to offer. I came up in the 80's and 90's when there was some real talent to be had. And I am sure there is 1 talented rap artist adrift in the endless sea of garbage there is to be had now... he or she is just not worth the effort of listening to all the crap you have to sift through to find them. You cannot deny that the majority... not all... but the majority of rap out there now is some idiot talking about his gold toofs, bitches, and 22 inch rims, as they is hittin da club. It contributes to people's stupidity. I would still be willing to look over your proof of this "fact" you claim to know when you gather it up though.

Are you trying to convince us what music to listen to? Anyways, I wouldn't pay to see a hologram. I want to see a live perfomance and I think it's a slap in the face to a lot of artists out there. It was cool at Coachella for a one time thing. But I don't like the idea of reviving every dead artist out there. Not only that I think it's insulting to revive someone's image like that and market it to hell... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Infi-del Posted April 25, 2012 Members Share Posted April 25, 2012 WTF are you talking about? Which part? I'd be happy to elaborate. Are you trying to convince us what music to listen to? We're not talking about music. We're talking about rap. Where people rhyme made up words over top of someone else's music. You know... like for shizzle my nizzle. What is a nizzle anyway?

Members PRSJim Posted April 25, 2012 Members Share Posted April 25, 2012 As performers, it's stupid. I'm waiting for them to combine holograms with a SIRI type technology. We'd have something close to The Doctor from Star Trek:Voyager. The possibilities are endless.then it could do requests... FREE BIRD!!!

Members gdsmithtx Posted April 25, 2012 Members Share Posted April 25, 2012 at Cochella this year, they "revealed" a hologram of Tupac rapping on stage. That wasn't a "hologram"; it was a "hollagram", bro. I read an article about it interviewing the head geek of the company that produced the spurious Tupac and, while not giving any details, he said it cost between $100K and $400K to do. I'm not a fan of the artist by any stretch, but the video looked pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BydoEmpire Posted April 25, 2012 Members Share Posted April 25, 2012 It's just entertainment. I think it's kind of neat, like watching a concert movie. Not as cool as the real live show, but fun in its own way. I'd love to have seen Jimi at the Fillmore East on New Years Eve, but I couldn't. Watching the show on video was cool, and seeing it with the band as a hologram would also be cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jrockbridge Posted April 25, 2012 Members Share Posted April 25, 2012 Before you know it, there will be holograms with artificial intelligence. Not long after, they'll demand a vote. And, once we reach the singularity, there'll be forums full of holograms debating the finer points of everything. How can I be sure y'all aren't holograms?
