Re: What are you listening to Today?
Today's selection is After Dark by Tito and Tarantula
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gK6gf9kb0PA
Movie by the same title with George Cluney sp? The song in the movie is what a very young Salma Hyak sp? danced to in a girly bar in Mexico. I think it was her debut in the film industry. The video only shows a short clip of her dance. To see her whole dance you got to see the movie. The part where she poors the drink down her leg to run off of her toe into the guys mouth is fabulous. Unfortunately she turns into a vampire shortly after that.

Thanks for the Chris Rae Fool. I went and got a copy for my library.
Today I'm listening to Grand Funk Railroad. In particular I am Your Captain. My freshman room mate at TECH introduced me to Grand Funk Railroad.

Also, Ted Nugent of Grand Funk did Strngelhold. I can't find a link that does it justice though.

I have only heard a few songs off the album, and they seem like they may have some potential. They may bloom with a little more time....or they may really start to suck.

Teddy Thompson - Upfront & Down Low
Interesting album. I really like it a lot. It's mostly covers of older country standards like Walking the Floor Over You and She Thinks I Still Care. His parents are British folk singers (I think his Dad is known for his guitar work as well) so old-school country seems like it would be strange, but it fits his sound pretty well. His own stuff is kind of old school rockish. Kind of laid-back folk rockish, though, like maybe Chris Isaak or Lyle Lovett.

There is a difference between being a cover band of Nirvana and being influenced by Nirvana, but creating your own music. Throw in a little Jesus and they clearly are headed down a different path than Nirvana set out on. I challenge you (Guiss and the writer of the article) to write a song half as good as Eyes Wide Open... it's next to impossible. You may not like what they stand for, or the sounds they make, but only the best of the best can make money in the music industry.... and they are not even "1 Hit Wonders."

Their formula sucks to you. It has been very successful for them... meaning alot of people dig it. I only wish I could come up with a formula that made me millions! There's talent somewhere in that equation.

Re: What are you listening to Today?
That article's main point was that they became too popular.
His whole second point about how rock-n-roll can't exist with any form of -particularly unspoken, but vaguely present- Christianity is laughable. Heck, he mentions U2 in the same piece (who I know you don't like), but I could bring up Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard, Johnny Cash and other "inventers" of rock and roll who spent much of their time arguing that rock music was not " the very arena set up in protest against it[Christianity]."
But his first and third points are the same. Creed sells (at least in part) because of the way the system is set up as much as they sell because of what they actually produce. And while I'll agree that that is a problem - it's hard to blame them for working the system the way it is set up (assuming it is all intentional on their part).
The piece barely touches on why someone might not like the actual songs Creed sings. If you can dig through the hyperbole (the result of their one-time ubiquity) you can actually find rational reasons for disliking (or at least not-liking) them/their music.
Their hits do tend to be formulaic.
Their "spirituality" seems so purposely vague that it loses much of whatever meaning it might have had (and I should say - I'm not saying you have to bluntly choose between Jesus Loves Me and Enter Sandman to be creatively authentic, I mean - I love U2, the key word here is "purposely" - it's as if Creed is using generic spiritual terms because they are trying to appeal to the widest audience available, not as if they are trying to wax poetic about a difficult and nuanced emotion or idea - but maybe that's just me, it's obviously hard to quantify something like this).
Part of the problem with their songs is directly related to the method of their success in that non-stop airtime will sell you a lot of records to people who only know the music they hear on the radio, but it will also earn you some serious backlash.
Some people just don't love that sound.
Etc.

That was the ultimate point the guy was making in the article. I am a big fan of Capitalism, so I don't fault Creed one bit for doing what they do. Hell, I would rather make millions off a record than produce a musical work that I was proud of. But the guys point is that music is supposed to be about art and not profitability. A rock musician who is motivated to make commercial music lacks credibility and only perpetuates the problems of corporate music.

Re: What are you listening to Today?
Its popular in the music snob community to dislike Creed and Nickelback. Just like its popular in the film snob community to dislike Michael Bay.
However, the goal of the rock star lifestyle is to make a ton of money and get laid. They've done that. Mission accomplished.
-
Re: What are you listening to Today?
I find the guitar work trite, the drums way too simplistic, and Scott Stapp a copycat poser lacking any unique vocal style. I can drill down further if you want. The guitar work is nothing more than rehashing of the chunky power chord arrangements of the early to mid 90s. The guitar effects are unidimensional. It is either clean with reverb, distortion with compression, or straight flange. When the guitarist changes between effects, it is very sudden - you can actually picture the guy standing on the stage stepping on the pedal to lead into the bridge. Not 100 percent sure but the guitar has no character - it sounds like a Gibson running through a solid state amp. The drums are extremely well recorded so you can here every weak detail the guy puts in there. Completeley uninspiring.

And I think you can make valid critical arguments about why one doesn't (or shouldn't, I guess) like/support Creed or Michael Bay. Or Norman Rockwell for that matter. But I think true critical response tends to get lost in the storm.
I think it helps to remember that music and movies and paintings and even sports (in some cases) are all popular/capitalistic and artistic endeavors. And it's great when those things intersect and tons of people can appreciate great art (The Beatles, The Godfather, the Montana era 49ers), but it's often going to be a big split (Teddy Thompson vs. Rascal Flats, Once vs. Pearl Harbor, Boise State vs. Ohio State).
It also helps to remember that sometimes all you want is a little background music, or some big explosions, or a "W."

It must be exhausting for you to listen to music.
I used to be a music snob, too, but it wore me out. Now I've decided to like what I like for purely subjective reasons. Sometimes it is because of virtuosity, sometimes it is because there is a sound that is novel to me, sometimes I just get some sort of emotional stir, and sometimes it is because the song is singable and in my range.
I like Creed. Not enough to spend actual money on their albums, and I certainly wouldn't nominate them to be enshrined in the annals of great artistic endeavor, but I still like them. And Mark Tremonti is pretty skillful, though, again, I wouldn't nominate him for any awards.
Also, I would argue that there is NO music produced these days that is genuinely unique. Every artist is influenced by someone else in some fashion or another. The Beatles made a great living out of tweaking other people's styles. Sometimes you get a novel combination of re-hashed sounds, but who cares.
Finally, any standard that one would establish for judging music is necessarily completely subjective. In fact, Guiss, I could just as arbitrarily invert your critique and praise Creed for producing music that is unfettered by complicated guitar effects, pure in its melodic and harmonic simplicity, and accessible to ordinary people.

Creed sucks. It is an objective fact. Good music doesn't require that much complexity, but Creed does nothing more than rip off the generic, most-digestable sounds of contemporary artists. It is not just about being unique. Everyone borrows, but in the end, the artist needs to put something into it - some of their own seasoning. They took other bands sounds and made it less edgy. That is not good.
The only good reason to listen to Creed is to make fun of how bad they were. Otherwise you could actually listen to something that is good.

I'm having trouble seeing how that was particularly different from what the Beatles did.

Creed is a lot like Apple computers. They took existing ideas and repackaged them behind a very effective marketing machine. I, personally, dislike Apple computers and don't seem them as particularly innovative. But I can certainly appreciate the fact that they had done what they do with great success.
Oh, and back to an earlier point you made about Stapp's vocals: I'd have to agree. Creed was definitely much better in their AlterBridge incarnation.
Now I'm curious about your opinion regarding the Dave Matthews Band.

Yeah, but one could argue that all they did was expand their ripping off to include not only Western music but then Eastern music as well.

Oh, and back to an earlier point you made about Stapp's vocals: I'd have to agree. Creed was definitely much better in their AlterBridge incarnation.
Creed started off as a Pearl Jam cover band in Tallahassee. Apparantly, Scott never learned how to do anything different. A couple of the real highlights off of Creed's first album:
the Bridge/outtro to "What's this Life for"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUzNY...eature=related
Start at 2:10....Wow. Bad. It is like they were experimenting with a bridge and then Scott's ego steps in and says..."wouldn't it be great if just make several refrains out of this..." Just when you think it can't get worse, you get the weak ass snare drum triplets at 3:00.
Chorus to "One"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRa_8...eature=related
Choruses are supposed to be the good part. Who likes this one? You actually look forward to the verse, because the chorus is so terrible.
"My Own Prison" - best example of the crappy formula
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydCdqcBafNk
Scott doing his best Eddie Vedder impersonation. Verse played with clean reverb, chorus is distortion and compression, and solo is flange. Somehow though the distortion and flange effects comeout as being completely sterile. Listen to any song on Tool's Aenema album to see out to really juice those effects to create mood.
For example:

You set an impossible bar for originality. Creed took the easy road and made a crap product. They copied their contemporaries and did a poor job at it. Other bands pioneered, they just followed.

Check out some of the other songs on youtube by them. It's more Irish Punk than ska-pop and grows on you the more you listen. Definitely not for everyone's taste though.

Been listening to a lot of classic Motown stuff recently. Some of those songs are so familar that I forget how good they are. You just hear it in the background somewhere and kind of tune it out or sing along without thinking. But when you actually listen to them, they're just. . . great.

Hum - The Scientists
Electrified and lit up by an outline of herself,
and smiling now as only she can be.
She said I made some new connections to astound them all
in ways we've never dreamed about.
Her lovely hand is glowing from a light inside itself,
from soaking in the esters stacked for miles on a single shelf.
Holding my eyes still
so she can see all the super-undercover custom hybrids got to me.
It's too much, you're too late, I want to see it all again.
She says keep this benzene ring around your finger,
and think of me when everything you wanted starts to end.
And I saw living lusters form in pools beneath her feet,
invertebrates that only she can see.
And I said what on Earth are all these ampoules for,
she says exactly, we're not gonna wait around here anymore.

I love that white bread
Though sahimi is my love
Dancing with an overbite
Does my hair look good?
I think I'll invest in gold.

I love Justin Chancellor's tone. And I don't mean that in a gay sort of way.

Allman Brothers Band - Whipping Post
Quote:
Hal Leonard Corporation published a multi-volume
sheet music book of the Allman Brothers' work in 1995, and it took 42 pages to transcribe all the guitar solos in the
At Fillmore East rendition of the song.
:shocked2: From the wikipedia page.
Midnight Rider (I'm guessing from the way they look, this is a fairly recent live version - here is Willie giving it a shot).

Re: What are you listening to Today?
I just found out about this site http://www.mercedes-benz.tv/mixedtape . They have free mp3 downloads which change every few weeks. The downloads are for independent groups trying to gain a following and supported by Mercedes Benz. You never know, you might find something you really like and expand your musical horizons.

Re: What are you listening to Today?
Midnight Rider is one of my favorites. I used to listen to a lot of Almond Brothers while at TECH.

That recording isn't the final mix. They're going to wait to get a full album of songs abd then go in for final mixing.
Their latest stuff is pretty impressive....

Re: What are you listening to Today?
BTW they won a "Batle of the Bands" this weekend. The first time a metal band has done this.
They're playing tomorrow night at the Scout Bar in Clear Lake. Come on down, I'll pay for your ticket.....
