chatty Posted February 24, 2019 Report Share Posted February 24, 2019 (edited) I wouldnt say guitar music is played out. Its no more played out than every current band playing synths and sounding exactly the same as each other. I give a blast to many new bands and they all have that exact same sound, if anything Id say at least Britpop was a bit more varried than the current scene of bands.

Quite a good video that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winslow Leach Posted February 24, 2019 Report Share Posted February 24, 2019 21 hours ago, Mardy said: Huge huge worrying problem, in my opinion. Ig Glastonbury 1970 hadn't had T. Rex but Glenn Miller instead, whould it be what it is? Every musical movement, every vibrant piece of youth culture comes from people rejecting their parents music, not witlessly paying homage to it. Remember reading something by Mark Fisher where he makes pretty much this point, that Kraftwerk should sound as ancient to us as music from the 30s did in the 70s. In fact this interview from Crack from a few years back basically covers the same ground as this thread over the last couple of pages, Oasis retroism and all: https://crackmagazine.net/article/long-reads/mark-fisher-interviewed/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henry bear Posted February 24, 2019 Report Share Posted February 24, 2019 There’s room for everything isn’t there? Last night I was sat in whatever the NEC is called these days along with 20,000 chartered accountants watching Steely Dan. Elsewhere younger people were watching more contemporary acts do their thing. Next up for me is IDLES, and in 25 years time 40/50 somethings will be watching IDLES hoping they do stuff from their early days. It’s all just rock & roll innit?

TKOCF Posted February 24, 2019 Report Share Posted February 24, 2019 I saw Catfish the other day, crowd was mostly sixth Formers and Students and all really into it.

They have that in common with Kim Jong Un. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilgamesh69 Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 Feeling pretty disappointed about this year, gig wise. I keep hoping for something good this year but it keeps letting me down. I saw so many amazing acts last year - started with the Stones and ended with Macca- but I feel like I'll never be able to top it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
