Isn't it interesting that we've been talking about all of this, and then something like the Simpson/SNL incident pops up.

That's the beauty of the forum. If everyone had identical opinions, there'd only be one post per topic!
The other beauty of the post is when someone takes the time to read all of it. I guess my sarcasm was lost on some folks. |

The techniques, though they play an important role in the early stage, should not be too restrictive, complex or mechanical. If we cling to them, we will become bound by their limitation. Any technique, however worthy and desirable, becomes a disease when the mind is obsessed with it.

Yep. Sounds like you had a busy weekend playing. Excellent. |

I just saw that article and ran over to this website, but someone beat me to it! Very interesting indeed. |

This may not be directly related to the topic, but I can remember back in the 70's when Boston came out with their first couple of albums. Tom Scholz included a disclaimer on the record jackets saying something like "No Synthesizers Were Used To Make This Music". There is no way you can convince me that electronics did not play a big role in playing and recording their music. Perhaps the word "synthesizer" is just a game of semantics in their disclaimer statement. For heaven's sake, Scholz invented the Rockman to lend a unique sound to the guitars.
Would I care if Boston used synthesizers in making and recording their music? Would I feel duped if they used them during a live concert? Not in the least. As a matter of fact, I've heard some of their concert recordings and I WISH they had used some instrument and vocal supplements to make the music sound better.
After all these years, I'm not sure why he felt the need to include that disclaimer. Then again, I don't think anyone could figure out a "genius" like Tom Scholz.

Wow, what a lot of time went into these posts. I missed out on all the fun because I was so busy playing my drums all weekend. What a strange concept.
You weren't cheating now by using sequencers or sampling?  |

Well, since he was ripping off Brian Mays' guitar sound he probably felt the need to use Queens' disclaimer of "no synths were used in the making of this album"  |

On the same line as the synths comment, Rage Against The Machine posted the same disclaimer, in their first record at least.
Which always made me laugh, since Tom Morello usually plays one note, stomps four pedals and ends up with something totally different, that lasts for minutes.
BTW, I really enjoy Morello's stuff. But I still thought the disclaimer was uncalled for.

This mockery and derision toward our esteemed members is beyond the pale and does not do us credit. Moderator, would you please consider banding with those who know best and putting a stop to this conversation at your earliest convenience? Thank you. Signed, A marathon drummer What are you talking about? |

I read this late night joke by David Letterman from a few weeks back and thought it was funny relative to the subject here:
On Saturday Britney Spears got married. No date has been set yet for the divorce. It was an emotional ceremony. There was one moment where Britney lip synched her "I do."
