A while ago I thought like that but then I got a set of 8 lessons at Bruce Millers. Although by the 8th lesson it started getting pretty shit, the first few have been invaluable for my progress.
Yeh pink floyd is a wee bitty boring - but dark side of the moon is a fantastic listen! its cliche for a reason! You will prob find me down the little alleyway that leads down to the back of kef on friday 5 minutes before the first band is on.
I voted for drum machines, however this is only due to buying one last week and it being great for my little home 4track adventures. I wouldnt use one in a band - the dynamics and stage presence are too valuable.
i dont get the definition stoner music. Like Kyuss can be pretty cool, but theres nothin stonish about it to me. When I'm stoned Id prob rather listen to the likes of pink floyd, trippy music etc. Funk is good too
