  1. i have seen a recording of this kind of music.

    But hand on heart it the religious side of things that makes me want to stay away.

    I know that sounds harsh but i just cant get into religion, but i do appreciate what the church does for people (If that makes sence).

    The recording i saw i was really impressed with the level of musicianship. but being honest i just could'nt get my head round the religious side of things.

  2. I wanted desperatley to play an instrument & create something with music, all the time i was a kid, i always wanted to play sax but would never afford one in my life time.

    So when i got my first proper job at 17 i bought a guitar & instantley started having lessons but after a while i just could'nt get into it (was never that good or enthusiastic), I always loved hearing Bass on it's own & always had a respect for Bass as a stand alone instrument but never even thought about playing one, then a friend lent me a 3/4 bass just to mess about on & i instantley felt comfortable & at home on Bass.

    My dream is to learn upright because when i hear one i just become transfixed. But i need really to get back on the horse & re-learn what i've tried to forget lol.

  3. Back when i was at it full tilt & was in bands, Covers were a natural way of getting stuck straight in.

    It's great to see a band live but if they just play their own material it can get a little lost, i always found a mix of own material & covers works better bacuase a crowd can at least get a gague of what your doing.
    That always worked for me anyway.

  4. Yep tbh there is so many execptions to the rules that it simply is daft to discount music for it's genere.

    I know a lad who calls all dance music "Monotous bleepin sh*te" but i forced hi to listen to "Morning Sci-fi" by Hybrid & now he's hooked on anything by Hybrid. the Peter Hook style Bass lines, the work with classical music & the depth of the production these guys use has got him addicted.

    He still thinks dance music is crap. but there are too many exceptions to discount without giving it a try.

  5. I wish i did'nt say anything now.......I like SOME hip -hop but i dont drive a citron Saxo & wear gold chains lol.

    My background is Mowtown & blues.

    I just like music & dont care what genere it comes from.

    I love Joni Mitchell, Simon & Garfuncle, Seasick Steve, Get Cape Wear Cape fly, JJ Cale, Sepultura, Alice in Chains, Tool, Infectious Gooves, Anubian Lights, Public enemy, Dead Kenedys, Rancid, Sia, Nighmares on Wax, Tosca..

    It's really hard to list really. If it's good i'll give it a go.......I seem to be pidgeon holed here it's not very good from a musicians website is it?

    Just try MC 900ft jesus, quaanum & Jurassic 5.

    you will love them........Hip Hop is like any other music nowadays there is some amazing hidden Gems but is over shadowed by the [size=4]"Me- money-Me-Money-me-bitches-me-bitches-Me-Hoes-Me-Hoes-Me-Cars-me-Cars-ooo-Did-EYE-TELL-YOU-I-HAVE-....repeat"[/size]Crap....grrrrr

  7. [quote name='mcgraham' post='300361' date='Oct 6 2008, 11:21 AM']P.S. For jazz, does anyone else find it a little bit pretentious/infuriating/confusing when someone says they are into 'jazz', and they're simply using it to describe music that they can't think which category it fits in to? It's not heavy, it's not poppy, it sounds odd, therefore it must be jazz?[/quote]

    I have to be shy here & put my hand up....i really dont get Jazz. Although i think the style is complex & subversive.....i honestly dont understand it......i have tried listening.

    But to my plebby ears it's just noise to me i'm afraid.

  8. [quote name='chris_b' post='300321' date='Oct 6 2008, 10:29 AM']Why do you bother to [i]hate[/i] anything? Like what you like and ignore the rest. There's too much hate![/quote]

    I agree with that whole hartedly.

    Dont really care about things i dont like enough to hate them

  9. I'm not as closed in as you guys.

    As a rule i dont like pop (Just has a plastic feel i cant get my head around) but i will give anyone a chance.

    I love listening to music & i love new ideas so i think were all weird in our own way.

    Apart from the elf that wispers in my ear............. i ignore him
