The Milner Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 But serioulsy whats the point stripey?Any time anything good about local bands appears you pitch in with your fucking boring negative views.anyway,i am so out of touch with the aberdeen music scene - can someone give me a sort of round-up of the current scene cos i'm coming home in 2 months and want to get right into it.The music scene in aberdeen is ok depending on what you like to hear. cocks like stripey dont really know what theyre on about. Good bands you should check out are My Minds Weapon, Contra, Nero, Black Atom, Turning 13, Fester(if your lucky enough), The Excerts(again if your lucky). But as i say it depends on what you listen to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, there are some bands/scenes in Aberdeen that I don't like, but criticizing their efforts in such a derogatory and abusive manner isn't helping anyone.

Guest Stripey Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 I've got as much right to an opinion as anyone else, wether you like what I think or not. Or is this site just meant as a place for a lot of self-congratulatory back-slapping? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your criticisms are hardly constructive, and are often - for instance regarding the punk community, uneducated.You despise the Aberdeen music scene? Then why post on a board largely dedicated to it?

The Milner Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 yeah the mans *laughs* an arse it has to be said.But your right whats the point in having a go at something you either dont like or understand? Sitting there and saying "oh the music is shit and unimaginative" isnt helping anyone. Either go out and do something about it stripey or just piss off and leave the shit music scene to do as it will.Not everything will be to everyones taste that much is obvious but everything deserves a chance at least no matter what.

Guest allsystemsfail Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 Also, why should a band always strive to expand their sound? Sure, when a band does so, that's cool. But there are a lotta bands who do not, and are still great nevertheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Crashdown Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 whats this fool on about? We played two gigs in aberdeen and in one night saw some of the best talent in scotland so don't fuckin tell me the music scene is shit...we've played in almost every city in scotland and i've never seen as much consisitency in quality bands, venues and crowds....so no you are not entitled to an opinion..because you are infact.........talking out of your arse!!!

psydoll Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 I wouldn't worry about it - Stripey's music itself is quite pleasing but he seems to take every opportunity to run down any other music from Aberdeen but Phillip's and his own. if people are saying it's been the gig of the year for them coming on and saying the Aberdeen music scene sucks seems pointless and bitchy.

Its good to see bands sticking to what they are good at and making that sound their own instead of changing to suit whats popular at the time. If they have something they are happy with and they feel it is what they do best then why should they?However i do feel its important for a band to keep exploring for new possibilities in their sound. In point (am im just using this as an example cause im in the band) i feel we have managed to open new possibilities in our song writting due to the fact we have changed our style slightly. (but then i suppose when you win worst band in aberdeen twice you should think about it hehe) We havent completely lost what people used to enjoy from a Point set we've just taken it to a new level.

I don't like rock or it's subgenres, there is just nothing going on here that does it for me, except what Philip is doing, because it's actually *creative* and musically more sophisticated than the typical 3 and 4 piece rock-derived bands which appear to make up the bulk of the "scene". And you know, I'm sorry to say it, but there's no accounting for taste either when it comes to the audience for this stuff, when most of the people who go to these gigs are basically into pop music.

Just cause its not your thing doesnt give you the right to say its not *creative*. its as ive said before if you actually created some thing that was new and fresh (and this is not me saying i dont like your tunes cause some of them are ok) then maybe you would have some right to say this but your not. Ive heard countless other people make songs that sound like the ones you make Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash@TMB Posted August 26, 2004 Report Share Posted August 26, 2004 I don't like rock or it's subgenresOh gee whiz. This from the dude that lectured me that someone couldn't claim to like music unless they properly appreciated all it's forms including rythmic pigmy chanting...Stripey - there IS some dance music that I like a little. Even more so electronica... but having recently visited your website and downloaded your attempts, my opinion is that they suck the dogs cock. Nothing personal.

I will happily admit that I have only been at it for 2 and a bit years, starting with zero knowledge of playing anything or composing. I don't claim to be shit hot, and I certainly don't inflict what are essentially practice tracks, on paying audiences. Anyway, what I produce has fuck all to do with anything, I know what I like, and this scene does not provide it. And FYI I don't just listen to the kind of shit you think I do.

Mind you there's a slim chance that some long lost tribe of pygmies would be impressed. Perhaps there's hope for you overseas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FYI I have had a track played to a paying audience in a very discerning clubnight in san francisco, and they lapped it up, so go figure. I certainly will not be giving up.
