Also, within certain policy regarding offensible language, I stayed within those limits. I consider what I heard on the video noise without any musical merit. There will always be those who disagree openly while holding back on their true feelings. Anyone who likes melodic, harmonious music may dislike the opposite. I'm in that camp. Grunge and adolescent music regardless of who plays or what instruments are used are as I said not my cup of tea. Here is an example of Mosrites being used by 2 late '60s group and I liked one and disliked the other. The Stooges and the MC5. I saw the Stooges and wanted that beautiful Mosrite bass that Dave Alexander played. The MC5 while not being as "melodious" as the Stooges were a bit more noisy. But not as noisy as your guys!
But even though I used the word succint, let me stray a little to show you how others react as I did to a similar situation, between brackets:
[Lord Sutch and Heavy Friends
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lord Sutch and Heavy Friends is the debut album of English rock singer Screaming Lord Sutch. Recording began in May 1969 at Mystic Studios in Hollywood and released on Cotillion Records in 1970. The album featured an all-star line-up with contributions from Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page (who also produced the album) and John Bonham, guitarist Jeff Beck, session keyboardist Nicky Hopkins, session guitarist Deniel Edwards and Jimi Hendrix Experience bass-player Noel Redding. Rick Brown and Carlo Little were previously with The Savages. Many of the musicians who sessioned for Sutch on this album had grave misgivings upon its release. They were under the assumption these were demo quality recordings. As a result the artists disowned the project and the album did poorly saleswise. It also seriously damaged Sutch's reputation with the musicians involved. "I just went down to have a laugh, playing some old rock 'n' roll, a bit of a send-up. The whole joke sort of reversed itself and became ugly," Jimmy Page said of the record.[3]
A negative review published in Rolling Stone called Sutch "absolutely terrible" and lamented that under the restrictions of the project, the collection of talented musicians on hand were made to sound "like a fouled parody of themselves".[2]
This album has also been released under the name "Smoke and Fire".]
I rest my case.
Maaan, I never wanted to hurt anyone with music we play (or noise we make, never mind), really sorry if I did - shame on me. But please, if you don't like something - no one makes you to that. Looks like pure masohism - the sounds of our music making you vomit, but you keepin' on listening and discussing on it. Really, what are you trying to prove? You want me to stop playing grunge? Sorry, I will. Or you want all the people all over the world to play Mosrites in a "right way"? But who said, the way you call "right" is REAL right?
You started with a phrase "Actually not my cup of tea, but..." and it was better to stop, I think. No, of course, you can remind me about your freedom of speech, but you always have to remember that your freedom ends when you starting to infringe the freedom of anyone else. For that time, it was my freedom to play ANY music with ANY instrument I want and I don"t force anyone to sit and listen.
So let's bury the hatchet and stay...not-enemies, at least. Think, we both know: arguing on the internet is like running at the special olympics - even if you win, you're still retarded. As for me, I don't see any reason to quarrel. Thank you for your concern.
P.S.: Looky-looky, what I got, by the way))
