i dont know alot,i just know MTV has gone pro-left,pro T&A over talent,and the RIAA isnt helping,its also not helping that these pop punkers have shown up...in my opinion they all suck..anyone can play to chords with a high noted progression that is out of key with the main series of those 2 chords..and sing about my 15 year old girl problems,
i think they are mostly manufactured by the labels themselves but i dont have alot of proof of it
as far as the pop thing goes..slowly but surely its goin away..and gratefully so..if i wanna see some girls with barely any clothes on ill just go to a club or a whore house (no i dont go to those)
my band is a death metal band..hard fast music..and a heck of alot of solo's by most that kinda music is considered evil and all..to some extent thats true..but it depends on the lyrics..also alot of rumors surrounding us doesnt help..like about orgys'satanic blood letting and whatever from what ive seen most of these bands after shows just go home or hang out with their friends after shows.
if theres any hope with rock..metal is the only hope there is..cause though it may not sound like it..it takes alot of skill too play notes at over 200 bpm i still have problems with some of thats stuff and ive been playing since i was 6 (im almost 21 now)
another thing..i think what some TV needs to do is bring back old jazz...you wanna talk about some awesome music there you go..ive been known to come home and listen to vince guaraldi or art blakey after shows..
the dixie chicks: ok they sounded good up until they started on bush..i think what they said was way off..basically its getting to where everyone is jumping on the we hate bush bandwagon just cause everyone else is..its a trend much like the crappy music out nowadays its like "wow hating bush is cool? i want in!" i bet if you asked anyone who "hates" bush they'd have no basis on why they do..they just did it cause everyone else is
come election thatll be the weakness..those mindless voters who will vote democrat just because everyone else is..democrats eat up this kind of publicity they dont care how people think/feel as long at they get that 2004 november vote. i hope we can keep bush in office..if not were in some SERIOUS trouble
