too clarify #4.0  "



basically i am sayin gthat people have told me that after a group dis-bands (e.g> the velvet underground)..why do you but the solo cd.?..(usually it's the lead singer of the former group for me. we will still use the velvewts for this case...e.g. Lou Reed)..

THE PERSON ASKING ME THIS IS IMPLYING THAT THE SOLO ARTISTS WORK W/O THE FORMER GROUP HE/SHE WERE/WAS IN  IS NEVER AS GOOD AS  HE/SHE WAS/WERE WHEN THEY WERE A BAND TOGETHER...

:arrow: ....i know cale was a singer for the velvets also..but lou's better solo IMO

Once I was havinga discussion with a friend who said classical music sucks. I tried to tell him that as much as I like a certain band or a certain singer, I cannot even compare their music with masters like Bach, Mozart or Beethoven(forgive my generalization). I approached the subject on a way that I thought would reach him: I said that even if they're dead for hundreds of years, we still remember them and talk about them and we still hear their music. He said: "Yes, but in those days there were only those three guys, now we have hundreds of bands, of course we're not going to remember all of them!"
we insisted on each other for a few minutes, then I gave up.

And....if you don't think people should critique art and artists, then people shouldn't critique politics and politicians either...because its all a matter of "taste" and "opinion", and last time I knew, politics was not included as a pure science.

a girl in my English class who had a t-shirt with a Jim Morrison pic:

.. :roll: ..I know what you mean thats freak'n annoying ..I hated it when that stupid "b/c I got high" song came out and all these losers went around singing it and giggling ..saying it was the  "coolest" song they ever heard.....drug songs are usually stupid and played out  and tend for 8ight graders to like them...the only song about drugs that I hreard that sounds fantastic is The Verve's  'the drugs don't work"..its ashame that most people prob.ly bought the 'bittersweet " single and never got the album to here all the other songs that are way beytter than that one.

"Heroin" - Velvet Underground
"Cocaine" - Eric Clapton

Listen to JJ Cale's original version of Cocaine. It blows Clapton's away...

Post by: RegularKarate on September 22, 2003, 03:27:26 PM
yeah... don't even really like the Clapton version.

Townes Van Zandt's version of Cocaine blues is pretty fucking good too.

Second that Heroin and add "Waiting for my man".

There are a million good songs about drugs.  
Drugs and women.. most of the best songs are about one or the other.

a band/singer can make songs about drugs, women, world peace, religion...whatever, but say a band or song is good or bad just because it talk about drugs, or god, or children, or women, etc, etc and nothing more is, in my opinion, a terrible way to underrate the music...lyric is important yes, but music is more than it...

you're all forgetting the masterpiece 'bag o weed' by nate dogg.

but seriously many of you so called film buffs are as generalizing and ignorant as those stupid 'normal' people you love to talk about. e g, saying that marilyn manson isn't talented is just ignorance. i'd like to hear one of you back uip your opinion for saying that.

music alot about taste, just like with film. you can use other peoples opinions as guidance only if you know them and resemble their taste.
