Stripey Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 I will add aswell, flashing lights and prancing about on stage like a cock with a stupid haircut, allegedly fashionable clothes and more makeup than your sister does not equate to good music. Perhaps if more people learned to divorce the performance aspect from their idea of what a musician is, and concentrated on writing there would be less useless redundant music being shat out by the unimaginative kids of aberdeen.

ZeromiserY Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 come on just admit it, most of the bands in aberdeen are just some adolescent kids MTV wetdream fantasy, they only exist because of the sad venues which tolerate them and their sad mates, none of them have anything of any proper musical value to offer to the wider world. I've always said it was a good thing when drakes closed, because it was the worst enabler of all that lameness.stripey the music pundit strikes again"i'm right, you's are all wrong and theres nothing anyone can say to change my mind. I'm arrogant and stuck up and i love that about me."there was a gig we played with element and (i think it was aftertaste) the other week. totally dead. there was NO promotion whatsoever. it was just bands/girlfriends/mates. thats the first time thats happened at a gig i've been to and it was great fun. it was like a private gig party. who's to say thats wrong? metal is dying out but we still love it and will continue to play it. of course its better if there is a great crowd but i still had fun at the tunnels that night when it was empty. fuck it.fuck the scene. we made our own that night.

Guest Jake Wifebeater Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 maybe if everyone spent more time telling people about their music and promoting gigs things would be betterMaybe if there were far less gigs then things would be better. There's about 5 or 6 gigs on every night, it's reached saturation point. Couple that with the fact there's far too many ding-as-fuck bands round here and the only way is downhill.Maybe the answer would be to have less gigs. "Going to a gig" would be more of an occasion and something to look forward to, it's just overkill at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash@TMB Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 Flash@TMB is a great example of the pathetically ignorant, inward looking attitudes of people up here. Anyone genuinely interested in writing music who doesn't recognise the creative flexibility of modern, low cost digital home studios is a fucking clueless moron living in the dark ages, end of story. Yes, hicks like flash@tmb may not understand the workflow of a digital production environment, may not know how to program a synth or use a sampler properly, but that's no reason to fear the technology or ridicule people that know how to use it effectively.All of which is accurate... aside from the small oversight that we installed one of these 2 years ago:Which is classed as a "modern, low cost digital home [or bar] studio", although it can also be scaled up way beyond that.Some of the most interesting and thoughtprovoking music of the last 10 years has come primarily from people working at home using a computer as the core of their production environment.As has most of the worst, including your own excruciatingly dull output.

Learn to take criticism and live with other people's opinions. Just because someone does not like your music, does not make them in any way inferior to you.FYI in the car I'm currently listening to a CD of Jan Hammer's greatest soundtracks from Miami Vice. It cost 3 from the supermarket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HateEvent Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 Our 'scene' is not groundbreaking. It is ever evolving. Live with it or do something about it if you don't like whatever direction it's going if you're that fussed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ghost Of Fudge Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 Only thing I don't like now is that gigs are too categorised and there is no mix of styles in gigs anymore.while not wishing to argue that the fudge awards seemed a little below par this year, at least i'd say we put on varied nights. a mix of styles is always best, though some bands refuse to play with acts they consider too heavy, etci haven't read the whole thread yet though.

The Ghost Of Fudge Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 Not true, you walk past Drummonds or Kef some nights and it's just as busy as it was 5 years ago. As folk have already said, there's different scenes, and the one that lots of people here wank over has ran it's course. Most folk from this 'golden age' have grown up and turned to the 'mainstream', or simply left town. It's no big deal because there's a new one already, full of younger folk who are doing it all again.moorings audiences have increased on saturday nights, as i understand it, to their highest levels yet. and most weeks we have two out of town bands playing, so that's not bad going (this saturday there's four outta town bands playing, that'll sort the scenesters from the music fans) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
