xilddx Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 When I read an interview I want to understand myself more though it. I think virtually all people have the capacity to be interesting, even fascinating. It depends what they are talking about, who's asking the questions or having a discussion with them, and if you are interested in what they are talking about. It largely depends on the duologue or dialogue containing a large percentage of content that relates to you personally and gives you surprising and useful insight or answers questions you yourself want to ask. It also depends on how "interesting" you perceive yourself to be, and whether you are interested in the person, or simply want to know how they do what they do in order to help you achieve your technical goals. I'm not particularly interested in "what", "when" and "where". I am, however, very interested and curious as to the "why" and "how". That's why I enjoy autobiography and not history and technical books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
risingson Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Any musician that considers conversation concerning gear etc with anyone else aside from another musician that asks is probably a bit boring. Bassists I reckon are not as boring as guitarists in this respect! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delberthot Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 (edited) Personally, ask me a boring question and I'll give a boring answer but ask me the right question and you'll not get me to shut up. Possibly tired journalists asking the same tired questions and the musicians in question have been asked them so many times that what comes out is completely automatic and thus - boring. I have no time for 'bass players' as I consider myself a musician and part of a band. I love bass players that are part of a band and good musicians in their own right but have no time for the w@nky ones. You could play a million miles an hour but if the song shounds sh*t then you're wasting your time I also enjoy reading bass player and other musician biographies over actual interviews Edited June 12, 2009 by Delberthot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonestar Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 I'm with Frank Zappa on this: "Rock" (paraphrase with music) journalism is people who can't write interviewing people who can't talk for people who can't read". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBeefChief Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Bass palyes are not only boring, but also usually incredibly ugly. It's true. The bass player always looks like a geek, the drummer is fat. Guitarists and singers are better looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delberthot Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 (edited) I've been told that I look like a god Budha is a god? I'm told I have go to bed eyes. The girls take one look at me and tell me to go to bed cos I look knackered I did manage to pull one night - the thing was that i was playing at the time but the keyboard player offered to fill in for a couple of songs while I danced with the girl in question. I need to add that we were playing at a wedding! Edited June 12, 2009 by Delberthot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
