[QUOTE]Definitley not. Psychedelia rules over them all on Gris-gris, and then Dixieland and Jazz really play a role in each musician in his band's playing.

I believe his backing band is named the Bonnaroo 5. I also believe the Bonnaroo festival is named after them.[/QUOTE]
I dont agree but whatever.

[QUOTE=Disconnection Notice]And P. Diddy has had bigger hits than "Come With Me" (Mostly the stuff he did with Biggie, but still), just like how Eminem has had bigger hits than "Sing For the Moment"[/QUOTE]

Well, who ever said good songs are the ones that make the charts.

[QUOTE]Honestly, you kids are being no better than the metal faggots who whine about Lil' Jon using "Crazy Train". [/QUOTE]

Due to the last statement, you're sounding no better than those Pop Faggots who only care about hitting the charts.

[QUOTE]you kids are[/QUOTE]

Most of us kids did not state anything relating to that, nor agree with the previous statement.

And is it that crazy that unoriginality causes people to dislike the artists who are being unoriginal.


[QUOTE=Schyma]I dont agree but whatever.[/QUOTE]

You haven't even heard the album, have you?

I only heard one song and it was kinda bluesy.

No can you sample more of it? You just sent me the only song Ive herad of Dr. John and I was talking about the song you just sent.

Edit: DC got owned by the Moon! :lol:

I'm not going to send any now, I don't have any mp3 on this computer.

Well, I assumed it was a fact that Snoop, P.Diddy, and Eminem had better tracks than "Riders on the Storm", "Come With Me", and "Sing For the Moment".

Do you understand the process of recording a rap track? When a producer likes a sample, he uses it. It's not a crime for producers to sample a song they like, regardless of how much you whine. Honestly, the only reason you even care is because it's classic rock. I wonder whether or not you care that Kanye West, for instance, sampled the Jackson 5's "I Want You Back" for "Izzo (HOVA)", Chaka Khan's "Through the Fire" for "Through the Wire", or Luther Vandross' "A House is Not a Home" for "Slow Jamz".

I thought you would have picked up that I was not really speaking on behave of myself. And to continue, just because something isn't against the law, doesn't mean it right. Alcohol isn't "Right", but it is not against the law. I do not care if they sample a Classic Rock song. Classic Rock really means nothing more to me than any other genres does. Is it true that Hip-Hop artists would be looked upon as musicians more so than they already are if they produced and formed their own music? Yes. Which makes you wonder why don't they?

And slight originality is a good thing, no matter how much you try to think it isn't relevant nor needed at all.

I like some of Georgie's stuff as much as the next classic rock fan (Bad to the Bone, Who Do You Love, etc.), but a lot of it is nothing but pure drivel. Like I Drink Alone.

[QUOTE]I drink alone, yeah,

I drink alone, yeah,
with nobody else
You know when I drink alone,
I prefer to be by myself

Every morning just before breakfast,
I don't want no coffee or tea
Just me and good buddy Wiser,
that's all I ever need
'Cause I drink alone, yeah,
with nobody else
Yeah, you know when I drink alone,
I prefer to be by myself

The other night I laid sleeping,
and I woke from a terrible dream
So I caught up my pal Jack Daniel's,
and his partner Jimmy Beam
And we drank alone, yeah,
with nobody else
Yeah, you know when I drink alone,
I prefer to be by myself

The other day I got invited to a party,
but I stayed home instead
Just me and my pal Johnny Walker,
and his brothers Black and Red
And we drank alone, yeah,
with nobody else
Yeah, you know when I drink alone,
I prefer to be by myself

My whole family done give up on me,
and it makes me feel oh so bad
The only one who will hang out with me,
is my dear old granddad
And we drink alone, yeah,
with nobody else
Yeah, you know when I drink alone,

That is not true. For one, you are not really making a sample, you are taking a sample and [I]possibly[/I] jazzing it up with various effects and shoving it into a song.

Maybe for a lazy producer (P. Diddy), but good ones can do more. Either way you're generalizing it. Good music is tough to make regardless of how it's made. I want to be a producer and it's a lot harder than it looks.

I'm not saying it is not hard to do. I am sure there are many skilled mixers and samplers, etc.

But do you actually believe that any DJ Shadow track that includes sampling is as difficult to produce and perform as, let's say Ali Dimeola's "Mediterranian Sundance" or something similar?

That you have to take it to extremes is inane. Could a producer play guitar as well as a guitar viruoso? Of course not. It's stupid to even bring that up.

Well, were not talking about a producer playing a guitar, were talking about a producer doing what he does. And supposably, DJ Shadow is one of the best, as is Al Dimeola on guitar. Though skill and ability on to different machines may not be something good to compare, most could tell you who would come out the victor if they knew the artists.

And to call the comparrison dumb would be hypocritical. For we both have been doing it through out this argument.

It would probably take more raw skill to be a guitar viruoso, but I'm not talking about raw skill, I'm talking about making good music, period.

And let's not kid ourselves, guitar virtuosos' music is almost always crap.

Al Dimeola is not crap to me. And personally, DJ Shadow isn't always fun to listen to.

[QUOTE]I'm talking about making good music, period.[/QUOTE]

Not really until now. The conversation was mainly on sampling. Is it easy? Is it harder to do then make your own music? etc

I said that sampling CAN be easy (P. Diddy) just like playing guitar CAN be easy (every punk band ever).

Well, then this conversation is over.

Dude, George Thorogood is just too da[COLOR=White]m[/COLOR]n funny to pass up. I have yet to see a music video of his, though:lol:

I think it's safe to say that George Thorogood is the most badass person ever.

Yes, yes he is :lol: .


He's coming to Vancouver sometime soon. Alas, I have no money.

Cool avatar Canadian Guy. :)

Thats the front cover of the bootleg #4. (The "Judas!" concert)

I just found out ZZ Top and George Thorogood are coming to Hawks Rocks the PArk this year!!!!!!!

It's gonna be awesome.

EDIT-Apparentlly

[QUOTE=Disconnection Notice]And "making your own music" is no harder than making a good sample.[/QUOTE]

You don't write a lot of your own music do you? I can guarantee you that writing your own song is a lot harder than just taking an already written song and adding some stuff to it in the studio.

George Thorogood is coming to my city in a couple months, I'm gonna get tickets. Everyone keeps on freaking out because I'm not going to Velvet Revolver, they are coming to a city thats like two hours way...and I'm freaking out because no one cares about George Thorogood.

Good Late Underrated Dead Song
-----------------------------------
Grateful Dead - Don't Ease Me In

What makes an already written song easier is capability to work with the scales in the same structure the artist uses..which is why i like learning an entire song by a band, study thesong (usually the solo), and work off his technique to inovate on it myself.

Im no good original music maker, since i dont want to contribute any bad form of music in such an age we live in today. Im startin to get the hang of Scales and Modes though, and i actually innovated of Claptons - Crossroad about 16 bars longer then the solo and it sounded pretty good.

Now im on to black dog, which ive known for over a year, but never bothered with the solo

I think I'm just about the opposite. I can't be bothered to learn a real song by a band/artist, I just make up my own stuff. A lot of people think I'm crappy at guitar to because they are all like "play this song" and I have to tell them I don't know that song. Although I can improvise to any song and it sounds awesome. Improvising to Clapton is always fun, especially with Cream.

edit- dammit when did I get 3000 posts? I was looking forward to that for a while, and I missed the post!

I love playing along with Cream. My favorite band to jam along to.

I couldnt believe how smooth Clapton worked up and down the fret board, you wouldnt even notice if you were just listening to it.

Crossroads seemed to have the same scale use as Comfortably Numb (the song i learned right before), so that worked out conviniantly for me

I think a really good classic rock band is that band the backstreet boys.
Those guys are super cute and i want to have sex wiht them.

i'm pretty sure Clapton just uses the minor pent or blues scales, maybe with a little extra notes for flavour. you can't really tell but Gilmour also uses a lot of those scales, he doesn't sound as bluesy as Clapton though.

I saw Gov't Mule last night, it was an unbelievable show, 3 and a half hours of Mule tearing up the stage. It was the last stop of their Deja Voodoo Winter tour. A guitarist from RANA Scott Metzger also jammed with Warren for a bit.

Crossroads works with the A minor pentatonic, but in some parts it also switches to A major.
