before i go on i'll just let you all know that i don't play any instruments myself. anyway, here's what i think: aberdeen could do with a few (more) decent acts that aren't so 'guitar-out-their-face'. i'd like to see a group use guitars sparingly...a decent band that doesnt even have a guitarist would be fucking sweet. and before i finish, i also want to make it known that i like the sound a guitar makes as much as i'm sure the rest of you do, and i appreciate that people have a great deal of fun playing guitars and that they look pretty cool whilst doing so, but come on, somebody in this city must know how to play something else. maybe i just don't know enough local bands that don't play rock music. and by rock music i mean metal, ska, singer-songwriter, NME-style "indie" etc., pretty much all the genres that came from rock. so if i'm being an ignorant cunt and dismissing some good bands that play jazz or any electronic acts...then say so and tell me about them. oh, finally, i quite like metal and i don't believe it's possible to have too many bands of any style...actually, fuck that: there are too many metal bands in aberdeen.
