So for what reason do you think aberdeen music has no originality? Are you just scared to leave your house to actually listen to some music? Or is change a daunting prospect for you and you cant handle the reality of that not all bands sound the same? And if your so pissed off about everyone sounding the same, go start your own band and revolutionise the aberdeen music scene, somehow dont think you will.

Every single band I've heard here has been bland, unimaginative, uninspiring, dated, generic and pointless. That's my opinion, and I'd rather tell it to you straight than pretend I think otherwise. Your precious "scene" has no critics and that is why it is so small and unimportant . Nobody seems to have the honesty to tell it like it is, and that is bad news.
FYI I do write music and you can listen to it and slate it if you like, http://www.neuscan.com and http://www.neuscan.com/outlines

Of course it has critics, i agree there is plenty of shit music in aberdeen. But you are slating the whole 'scene'. That is just narrowminded and shows that your not even willing to give it a chance.

I've been giving a chance for the past year and I'm still unconvinced. I still don't have any local bands CD's in my rack or mp3's in my playlist.
Undiscerning audiences, people being scared to criticse incase they offend a friend, and unimaginative artsts = recipe for a cesspool.

Stripey, if you hate the aberdeen music scene and everyone involved in it SO much, why do you bother posting on here, it seems to me that all you do is piss and moan about other people and other bands but contribute nothing positive as an alternative.

I post here because I live in Aberdeen and I write music, therefore I am part of the "scene".
Why do you post here? What exactly do you contribute, except inane babble?

inane babble? can you actually hear yourself?!
im not gonna try and make out that i contribute any more than i do in simply going to gigs and seeing the local bands that i like, and other bands who visit aberdeen! at least i can say i offer support to the bands who work hard to make the aberdeen music scene worthwhile, rather than just slating everyone left right and centre!

Well you know, there are actually people in this city who are a bit more grown up and have a more refined taste in music than the mindless shit peddled by schoolkids for schoolkids which constitutes your little "scene".
I see people in here complaining about low turnouts for gigs. That's because the music is crap and only appeals to a small audience of kids. The scene needs a kick up the arse and dose of reality.

I think we can close this thread now. I don't always agree with Stripey, but he hits the nail on the head this time.

The current trends in music are "indie - punk/funk etc" "emo/post-hardcore" and "Hair Metal"

Thus that is what all the promotors will try and book and the djs will play in the clubs.

Every one on here is guilty of one thing....... Supporting live music.... So stop the petty bullshit arguements.

If you like a band / act / dj or whatever go and see them / him / her / it in a live enviroment. Don`t listen to anything any of the jumped up opinionated tossers on here have to say about it..... Me included...... If you like something... go to the gig..... and don`t listen to anyone else.

Some people forget that not everyone gets into music at a very young age and some people's music tastes mature to varying degrees.

Your taste in music is ace!... you like every cd that you listen to!

Personally I hate a hell of a lot of my cd collection but that`s a downside to the job.

Thank you and goodnight!
