v QUOTE(JBrennan @ Jul 17 2009, 05:44 PM) * I honestly have lost a lot of respect for today's music (in all genres). I genuinely feel that the level of musicianship and skill has greatly deteriorated. Partly because of society, for some reason we all support radio stations that only play the same 10 songs over and over and over. I think my (and future) generations don't appreciate true musicianship. Artists who actually write their own lyrics, or are skilled at their instruments. Not just completely altered electronically so that their voices can be made to sound good, and any off-tune pitch is fixed. This is evident in live performances from todays bands. When you compare them to the older bands (some concerts I've seen include Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, the Eagles, Eric Clapton, Queen with Paul Rodgers, Van Halen, Carlos Santana, Chicago, Doobie Brothers, Billy Joel, Elton John, the Allman Brothers Band...), it's not even close. The older bands, their live music sounds just as good, but usually better then their album cuts. They clearly display their immense skill with their instruments and for the most part have maintained their vocal abilities. When I see today's rock bands, live, it's just not even close to the same as the album cut. Their voices are much worse, and their is a very noticeable decrease in quality of what you heard on the CD. My question is what rock bands out there today do you truly think still have true musicianship and skill? I'll start of with the band, Los Lonely Boys. A Tex-Mex trio with amazing guitar work, beautiful harmonies, and of course, they write their own songs. Henry Garza's guitar is just so good, heavily influenced by Stevie Ray Vaughan and Jimi Hendrix. The lyrics are great and actually have meaning. So if you have a chance, listen to their album "Los Lonely Boys." Nine Inch Nails without a doubt mate, going for 20 years and are still fresh and brilliant, great songwriting, truly skillful live show (saw them 2 days ago, best performance I have ever seen) and also good to the fans (free releases, strong online community, fan only presales). -------------------- Jark on Chris, not to his face: jc ∙ cos i'm... says: *chris knows f*** all, the vile c**t

I like all of their song! of paramore Their new song Ignorance really good I always listen that song again and again. Paramore is a Grammy-nominated American rock band that formed in Franklin, Tennessee in 2004 consisting of Hayley Williams (lead vocals/keyboards), Josh Farro (lead guitar/backing vocals), Jeremy Davis (bass guitar), Zac Farro (drums), and Taylor York (rhythm guitar). The group released their debut album All We Know Is Falling in 2005, second album, Riot! in 2007, which was certified platinum in the US and gold in the UK, Ireland and New Zealand. brand new eyes, Paramore's third album, is set to be released on September 29, 2009.
