Poll question: Who's your musical antichrist? |
|
Edited on Sun Apr-25-04 04:06 PM by undisclosedlocation
And doesn't that sound like something a server at a restaurant would say? "Hi I'm Chad and I'll be your musical antichrist this evening." No? Ok, nevermind!
Want to put on ABBA, of course, but I've already drawn the bitter lesson that I'm the last ABBA-hater left on Earth. However, you could warm the cockles of my black, black heart by posting them as your Other reply.
There probably ought to be some kind of minimum career length criterion for this, but what the hey-- bad is bad no matter how long they've been at it.
Edit: just killed a stray question mark
'nother edit: killed one Britney, added Beely Jo-el just for NightTrain

29. If you mean the trash that passes for C&W these days I can agree.However, |

much of what was once considered country is now called Americana,a form of music I dearly love.

Falsetto is best reserved for contra-tenors interpreting 17th century French and English court music. Web sites devoted to the BeeGees are appropriately icky.

I've never heard such a thing!
Seriously though, hate Abba as you may, they had a knack for writeing witty little ditties (sorry, couldn't resist the wordplay). I hate Barry Manilow with a passion, but he and Abba, at least have (had?) musical talent. Britney Spears on the other hand, is a talentless hack.

:puke: Guess I forgot about Hasselhoff. Probably because it is possible to watch TV and listen to the radio for months without getting subjected to his "talent". However, Bohlen is ominpresent in the German media.

21. Kenny G, no question. |
|
Anyone who thinks that lame, sorry excuse for a saxophonist has one iota of talent, or can actually with a straight face be called a jazz musician, needs to be locked in a small room and submitted to an intensive process of re-education consisting of exposure to the complete ouvres of such musicians as John Coltrane, Charlie Parker, Lester Young, Cannonball Adderley, Ornette Coleman, Rahsaan Roland Kirk, and a couple of dozen others whose reeds Kenny G isn't fit to change.

24. Why Pat Metheny hates Kenny G |
|
kenny g is not a musician i really had much of an opinion about at all until recently. there was not much about the way he played that interested me one way or the other either live or on records. i first heard him a number of years ago playing as a sideman with jeff lorber when they opened a concert for my band. my impression was that he was someone who had spent a fair amount of time listening to the more pop oriented sax players of that time, like grover washington or david sanborn, but was not really an advanced player, even in that style. he had major rhythmic problems and his harmonic and melodic vocabulary was extremely limited, mostly to pentatonic based and blues- lick derived patterns, and he basically exhibited only a rudimentary understanding of how to function as a professional soloist in an ensemble - lorber was basically playing him off the bandstand in terms of actual music. but he did show a knack for connecting to the basest impulses of the large crowd by deploying his two or three most effective licks (holding long notes and playing fast runs - never mind that there were lots of harmonic clams in them) at the keys moments to elicit a powerful crowd reaction (over and over again) . the other main thing i noticed was that he also, as he does to this day, play horribly out of tune - consistently sharp.
<snip>
but when kenny g decided that it was appropriate for him to defile the music of the man who is probably the greatest jazz musician that has ever lived by spewing his lame-ass, jive, pseudo bluesy, out-of-tune, noodling, wimped out, fucked up playing all over one of the great louis's tracks (even one of his lesser ones), he did something that i would not have imagined possible. he, in one move, through his unbelievably pretentious and calloused musical decision to embark on this most cynical of musical paths, shit all over the graves of all the musicians past and present who have risked their lives by going out there on the road for years and years developing their own music inspired by the standards of grace that louis armstrong brought to every single note he played over an amazing lifetime as a musician. by disrespecting louis, his legacy and by default, everyone who has ever tried to do something positive with improvised music and what it can be, kenny g has created a new low point in modern culture - something that we all should be totally embarrassed about - and afraid of. we ignore this, "let it slide", at our own peril.
his callous disregard for the larger issues of what this crass gesture implies is exacerbated by the fact that the only reason he possibly have for doing something this inherently wrong (on both human and musical terms) was for the record sales and the money it would bring.

27. Sammy Hagar is the musical antichrist! |
|
Edited on Sun Apr-25-04 05:57 PM by AntiCoup2k
Jello Biafra put it this way 20 years ago....
See the Aryan bozo with the red guitar Parachute on the White House lawn Gonna bomb the commies with his air guitar So dumb he can't drive 55
Like Bing Crosby before them GOVERNMENT MUSIC Too idiotic to be real GOVERNMENT MUSIC You want it loud? We'll make sure it goes nowhere So you won't get ideas
Soon after that song was written, Sammy Hagar had destroyed the greatest American rock band in history, neutering them into a top 40 cheese ballad factory :mad:
He's also a Bush campaign contributor, best friends with Ted the Neanderthal Nugent, and wears fucking yellow capri pants on stage with logos of his own brand of tequila all over them. That's $50 a bottle tequila, mind you?
For a guy who called himself the "Red Rocker" he's one hell of a capitalist. :puke:
Oh yeah.... Van Hagar is touring this year. Sponsored by Clear Channel, naturally :eyes:
