Songs that affect you.

[Jeid]

It's all opinions, you think Metal is dead, which in your opinion it is. However, I side with Metalattakk. Metal isn't dead... it's just gone underground again. Get your spade out and dig for it. Metal is very much alive...

[Metalattakk]

Sorry ma pal,but folk I speak to say Rave is Dead,and heavy metal is dead.As long as we think what we think,it might stand a chance.

The folk you speak to are wrong. Music genres and styles just do not die.

They do die.Its us that just keeps them awake.And one day they return.Look to ma post that ye nit picked from....hibernation.

[Metalattakk]

For those that follow the genre, the genre does not die. What is your definition of 'alive' in that case? Heavily promoted in the mainstream media perhaps? That doesn't mean a thing, to be honest.

Go on, name a genre that has died.

Punk.It had its day.Green Day say their punk.Aye right.The Clash,IMHO,were the best punk band,but sold out to commercialism.But it only takes one band.I love U2,the punk era,for their music.The same line up from 1978.They've had their ups and downs but their still there....together.

[Metalattakk]

Punk certainly isn't dead, and using Green Day as an analogy is plainly short-sighted at the very least. Jesus, they even have a 9-minute song on their last album - that's not punk! LOL!

New punk bands include the likes of The Living End and NOFX, amongst many others.

As I said, musical genres don't die. We still have country and western, we still have baroque classical and we still have jazz/fusion.

As long as someone is playing it and someone is listening, it lives.

[Jeid]

Most bands sell out to commercialism. U2 certainly did... which is unfortunate for the whole world.

EDIT: The Living End!!! NICE! Quality band Metalattakkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

Punk is dead.Live with it.It was in its time and place.When the Sex Pistols swore on the telly it died.Cos the British public thought"They cannot sell us the music so they use PR".Pish!!!If ye have a good CD,full of rich songs I'll buy it.

Cedric: Aren't you just becoming as short-sighted as those 'people you've been speaking to' of yours who were saying that rave was dead?

Pot, kettle, black.

But rave isnae dead.Cos I have ma songs that make ma legs work as though they are on clockwork.The same as Johnny Rotten can sing to me like it was yesterday.The genres are dead in the business today but not in me.Would I lose ma music to anyone.No chance.I paid ma pound for the music.Ye still cannae beat a live band.

[Jeid]

Lets all be fair, was rave music ever alive?

"ye still cannae beat a live band"

Is that why you love rave music so much

Of course U2 sold out to commercialism.Larry Mullen Jr saw Thin Lizzy on Top of the Pops and said "I would like to do that".He did.Not bad for a young biy putting a note up on a noticeboard.Why is it unfortunate for the whole world?Cos the music they have given is immense.

Naw,what I love about rave music is because there's no band in sight.Its ye against the DJ.He has his skills and shows ye his music physique,to try and burn ye out on the dancefloor.Jeid,music is sometimes more than being able to play a guitar.

I see a noon duel here. Staring each other in the eyes, first to draw wins. Cold steely nerves and the burn of hot lead. Honour in death.

Honestly though, is there room in music for any more Gunslingers?

Jeid,music is sometimes more than being able to play a guitar.

Sometimes perhaps. But not often. A musical arranger (such as your DJ) cannot be compared to a virtuoso musician, for example.

Rubbish.Ye take yer music for what ye enjoy.Whether it be a guy on recorder or a guy with a disc.I like both and ye both cannae take that.So welcome to ma sounds,cos I enjoy what ye don't.

Each to his own, I suppose.

In this case, it's a bit like comparing Chaucer or Twain with an amazon.com review of their books, and preferring to only read the review.

This is my opinion though, and you are free to do and think what you want, just as I am free to think what I want about your choices.

A reviewist.Ye think I'm a reviewist.One song,"Bedshaped".

[Metalattakk]

Sorry, I have no idea what a 'reviewist' is. Please explain.

[Cedric Farthsbottom III]

Sorry, I have no idea what a 'reviewist' is. Please explain.

A 'reviewist',is somebody who relies on somebody else's review of a topic.Ye don't know "Bedshaped".So ye have a sorry dig at me.The thread was "What songs affect you",one of mine is "Bedshaped"
