Everything is cyclic. There's still hope.

Or so I've heard. ;-)

Speaking of Manny and drumming against the flow, I always found Micheal Giles work refreshing.
And like you say, it works perfectly. Its almost as if music is MADE to be drummed  slightly counter against.

And it reminds me of one of Guy's greatest lines ever ... when a turkey interrupted him while playing Golden Earring and said that it wasn't rock'n'roll, and Guy said ... who cares! It's great music!

Music isn't dying, the consumers are. Everyone's dying.

Agreed. And appreciated as such! Thus, my appreciation for the different drummers out there. Listen to Amon Duul 2 all the way to "Apocaliptyc Bore" and you won't remember a snare drum anywhere!
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

Everyone's dying, Zeppelin???

Wot you mean?

In 60s the chance of you recovering from a serious heart attack was 65%. Now its over 90%.


More old codgers about than ever.



...

If you mean the entire generation that genuinely  appreciates/appreciated music is  dying off, then you are agreeing with  my post ...and I thank you.

I still don't understand this subject as a concerning issue, as it's damn clear for me that no other generation had the same great opportunity to easily listen to such a varied gamma of music available. Perhaps it doesn't seem that obvious for this generation of 'juniors'?, but then why?? Isn't it just a matter of lacking attitude? I don't know, but the fact is that you can easily find great and varied music, be it ancient, medieval, baroque, pre-romantic, romantic, neo-romantic, modern, post-modern, etc. etc., unless they care about the music age, hopely it's not the case.

The people are dying? ... I thought it was the standards, not the people, that are dying.

   Clap Well said. If you're bored with music in our modern computer accessible world, then something is terribly wrong.

You all don't get the point:
there is an iceberg of orange sherbert in front of you.
And there is (Mary-Anne of Gilligan's Island holding forward) a gallon's worth of strawberry sherbert.

You're alloted a lifespan of 20 minutes.

Which are you going to go for? The orange or strawberry?

I don't know if anyone has noticed, but some threads on this forum have begun to resemble quite alarmingly the contents of your average news site: that is, always insisting on the negative, and in some cases verging on the apocalyptic. For crying out loud, music isn't dying, folks, and it probably never will, since it is as old a mode of expression as human civilization itself.

On the other hand, the problem nowadays is that, in spite (or maybe because) of the huge amount of music of every description available on the Internet, listening to music (as others have pointed out) has become a largely solitary exercise, unlike it was in the Seventies or the decades/centuries before. In this, however, music is no different from a lot of other human activities.

Even if ASSUMING JUNIOR IS INTERESTED IN THE FIRST PLACE -the internet has overwhelmed Junior.It is overkill. The technology has made it that way more bands are coming on line (just look at the metal - there are new BANDS everyday). Worse yet there is no taste-filter that these new bands are required to go thru (as there was in the olden times). Fresh music, good or not, passes over immediately to distribution over the download.

All of this is coming at Junior. Junior cannot help but become jaded. In an attempt to take it all in, you begin to skim, to cherry-pick tracks, to fastforward. To listen whilst playing the video game. You do not do the music justice (not that 90% of it deserves justice in the first place).
There are not enough hours in the day.



On a slight aside: I see folk here in the "what are you listening to today?" threads list 5/6 albums. I can't understand this. You're listening to hours-worth music every day? At  what point do you  finally become  ungrateful and  blase. At what point come the twitches; the heebie-jeebies?
