Fuu Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 I dont think I could have said it myself any better. I had this huge post all ready and then ..... oh what? they already said it <thank you InsaneSith, Darth333 and Prime>. As some of you might be able to tell....I am a fanatic for electonic music. Ive listened to <I'm not kidding here I used to go out ALOT>almost a thousand live/mixed sets, and there is NO OTHER type of music that will ever rock my soul the way a good house set will. Oddly enough I was raised in a family of classicially trained musicians, and after playing my father some REALLY well done tech-house tracks even he is starting to boogie down! I'd like to think that after playing music for 30 years he would know what sounds good. Cant teach an old dog new tricks? Thats only because he doesnt want to learn any. Sorry MKR but I think youre a little biased on this one. Fuu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Sitherino Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 Heh, I'm more of a trance person myself. Nothing more fun than relaxing to some trance mixes of some Floyd while smoking in your friends basement as he mixes. Good times, good times...

MdKnightR Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 Well, I have to admit, yes I am biased. But aren't we all? I do not, can not, will not listen to rap or hip-hop. It drives me crazy no matter whether it is mainstream or underground. I know that people said/say the same thing about my music (mainly 80's metal), but that still doesn't change the fact that I don't like it. I like lots of music. Basically anything except for rap/hip-hop and country. I like techno, jazz, classical, new age, emo, heavy metal, death metal, soundtracks, stomp, etc. Rap is not music to my ears. When I was in high school, me and my friends even had a creed about it. It stated that "Rap is not music because...a turntable is not a musical instrument, a hyperventilating fat boy is not a musical instrument, a drum machine is not a musical instrument, and rap groups are fronted by people who can't sing. If they could sing, they wouldn't be rapping!" In short, my opinion that a turntable is not a musical instrument may be out of date, but that is something that I may never accept. Live with it and move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Doctor Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 I think he's right in that rap is not music. It's just a bunch of guys singing about getting high, describing how they had sex the night before, and shooting people they don't like. The lyrics are offensive, the "beat" is annoying and repetative, and I hate people who listen to it. It's jazz all the way for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You hate the people that listen to it? Guess that puts me on your list... However, this is getting way off-topic. The thread is about what instruments you play.

Prime Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 I do not, can not, will not listen to rap or hip-hop. The argument isn't whether you should like it or not, just whether they are musicans or not. It's just a bunch of guys singing about getting high, describing how they had sex the night before, and shooting people they don't like. Have you every listened to country, or 60's/70's rock? It isn't like rap is the only genre that has songs about that stuff. Not by a long shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuu Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 Whoa. I wasnt even talking about rap in the firstplace. I was talking about turntablisim, djing, and scratching (with respect to electronica). I belive this was concerning whether the turntable could be considered a "playable" instrament. Since I feel that a perfectly valid argument has already been presented I'm not going to go too much further......however........ As a musician myself, I have alot of respect for anyone that can master the turntables. As for whether a person chooses to BELIVE that they are an instrament....I have this to say: The vocal chords are an instrament, regardless of our belif. The saxaphone is an instrament, whether we call it that or not. It is the same for a set of turntables. Belive it or not, it still does'nt change the reality of the situation. Had you the same experiences as I you would say the same. Since thats not possible...I say belive whatever you want @ The Doc: I dont really appreciate that statement. Would you like it if I said, "I hate all people who listen to Jazz?" (I dont I'm just making a point) Back on topic: I have a suggestion, why not add -woodwind- -brass- -turntable<or other electronic instrament> to your categories in the poll? Then you could include the people who might not play the more mainstream instraments without lumping them all into the "other" category. hehe. Just a thoulght. Have a nice day.

The Doctor Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 You hate the people that listen to it? Guess that puts me on your list... However, this is getting way off-topic. The thread is about what instruments you play. So let's get back on topic before this starts getting out of line I apologize. I didn't mean I hate the people who listen to it, I was on a rant. I hate when people discuss it in public and loop one song to make it play over, and over, and over, and over, and over like some people I know. I certainly don't hate you. As a matter of fact, I look up to you and the other moderaters of the site. You guys have created mods that I could never hope to achieve. I just hate rap. Have you every listened to country, or 60's/70's rock? It isn't like rap is the only genre that has songs about that stuff. Not by a long shot. I realize that, but thankfully I don't hear much of that kind of "song" other than rap. Besides, not all songs from the 60's and 70's are about the same thing. THE BEATLES RULE!

El Sitherino Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 You realize a majority of the Beatles songs infact reference to various narcotics and some to sex? Just curious, because so far you stink of hypocrisy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC-1162 Posted October 9, 2005 Author Share Posted October 9, 2005 actually, all of us have our opinions, so why dont we all drop the rants and behave like normal Star Wars fans?

The Doctor Posted October 9, 2005 Share Posted October 9, 2005 Like I said above, I don't actually hate the people who listen to rap, just when they talk about the song and play it over and over and over...

TheOssusKeeper Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 I've played a little bass guitar, but thats about it... oh and sing a little, or rather used to. my brother-in-law, plays piano (learned to play by ear first, then learned to read music), he also plays bass guitar, bango, drums, a little fiddle and some other types of instrustments that i can't remember all of right off hand... he also sings, he plays and sings for a christian music group... he has even writen a bunch of songs, so i guess that makes he a writer also... he's multi-talented, i'm jealous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RC-1162 Posted October 13, 2005 Author Share Posted October 13, 2005 my friend plays the veena. when i asked him what it was, he told me it was similar to the violin. so why would someone make an instrument similar to one that already exists?
