Max Mosley 2 Report post Posted March 10, 2007 I play keyboards, mostly classic rock and R&B piano. Been ages since I last played on a band, though Been thinking about getting myself a keyboard again and do some stuff with all those wonderful programs that there are now for computers (Reason, for example). You can do some really cool things with those. I've been experimenting a little. Me too Andres, except I normally play classical piano music, not very well of course. My friends in school were really musical and we had a band, which had a grand total of one public gig: we did a concert at our school (when we were about 18 as it happens) where we did REM, Radiohead etc songs that my friends arranged. During lunch we'd go improvise in the music rooms or at a friend's house near by, once we were old enough to be allowed to leave school grounds! Happy memories - I'd love to be in a band again for real. Now I'd also like to be a rapper though! Watch out for muddlelytalker spitting science over Dre's beats, dissing filthy cu nt fifty cent and giving props to Eminem in the near future... And congrats on the post count, oh-not-so-quiet-one-after-all! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you, my friend. I played in many bands with friends, all of them of zero success My worst best moment during my band member life was at one show we did with a band. The pub was packed (200+ persons, our biggest crowd ever). To further feed my ego, I acted as a guest musician for a band that played before ours. So, I played for them. At the end, the band singer and leader said "a big applause for our guest, Andres" followed by a 200+ crowd cheering me. I was in heaven. I bowed and moved away from my two keyboards (a Korg M1 and an Ensoniq Mirage) to step forward. As my luck would have it, there was a hole in the floor where a spotlight was supposed to be, only it wasn't. So i stepped on it and suddenly my right leg dissapeared through the hole. At the same time, my left hand, waving in the air trying desperately to grab onto something, knocked off the ensoniq, which fell vertically right on my head. For 5 eternal minutes, all you could see and hear was 200+ persons laughing and choking. In fact, the members of the band tried to help me out of that hole, but they were laughing and I was laughing too (despite the horrible pain of having a leg scratched all over and bleeding and my groin muscles strained from the fall) so they couldnt help me. Really a glorious moment... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pabloh20 1 Report post Posted March 12, 2007 I'll be your audience, sitting on my arse and drinking a couple dozen Stellas. I promise not to heckle very often and I'll applaud when a beer isn't in my hand. Hell, I'll even throw my panties on-stage. Panties ok, but if it's a gstring, well they ride up your butt creak something fierce so they acquire................anyway nothing more needs to be said, I think! If I was any good I'd play rhythm guitar, but I'm quite poor. Doesn't look like it will matter! Me too Andres, except I normally play classical piano music, not very well of course.

Now I am suffering a fate worse than death - I actually have to make my own tea, iron my own clothes, clean the toilet (ok that only needs doing once a year, but you get the idea), but worst of all I have to physically get up and get my own drink during a football match - that's just barbaric and I hope you're ashamed of yourself!

No Ben, they shouldn't have mimed. They sang live, they were apalling and at last you are enlightened. Now for christs sake, go and buy 'Entroducing' by DJ Shadow, skin up a fat one, stick some cans on and come back when you have learned something. Whilst you're in the Galleria, buy 'Talking Book' by Stevie Wonder, 'Hot Rats' by Frank Zappa and 'Out Of The Blue' by The Electric Light Orchestra. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I re-name you 'the Maestro'. Very fine musical tastes (especially Shadow....he started out in Cali I think...). I wonder if poor Ben know what 'cans' are...speaking of which, the 'phones these days are woefully dainty and are more 'lids' than 'cans'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jenson_Rules 0 Report post Posted March 12, 2007 i'm guessing cans are reather large earphones of which go over the ear instead of in them. I actually have asked for a set of bose ones for my birthday cos despite being quite large they are better sound quality and look cool lol! Is DJ shadow dance or drum n bass. If so i shall check it out! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dribbler 6 Report post Posted March 12, 2007 At 10.46pm you ask me who or what DJ shadow is. at 10.49pm you give me a full critical evaluation of his album. Are you a speed critic? or is there something wrong with the TF1 clock? Incidentally, i believe Mr Joshua Davis is referred to as Trip Hop. Does it take you three minutes to do everything that you should be doing slowly and carefully? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jenson_Rules 0 Report post Posted March 13, 2007 Excuse me but i like music which has melodies and is actually sung. Not rapped or talked or whatever. Which is why I lean towards female singers like Beyonce who to me has an inredible voice! Girls Aloud are 4 average to good singers with Nadine who is a very good singer which is why I like them and their own material in terms of POP music, original sounding pop music is second no no one elses in the music biz at the moment. We get all this rap crap from america and a lot of thi indie s##t at the moment that they are a breath of fresh air. Please why dont one of you at least listen to chemistry or what will the nighbours say and then you will hear that their own music is very original and innovative. Let me suggest graffiti my soul and swinging london town. Nothing and i repeat nothing else sounds similar. Then theres the Show which has the most original structure ever for a pop song. It doesnt have a chorus and the verses are not actually verses. Then there also Biology, 3 songs mixed into one. Racy Lacy is an hilarious song about a prostitute. Models is a very catchy original pop song and Wild Horses begins as a choir song and breaks into a very catchy very random song. This is what annoys me about people who say they are just popular cos they are sexy. If you actually took the time to listen to their music then you would see that they are very orginal and the lyrics in a lot of the songs are very clever if not a little bizzare. So please head over to the british iTunes site and just listen to the 30 sec clips of the songs from the 2 albums i mentioned. Then tell me they are talentless hoe bags who are so generic theres no point even wasting time on them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shane2 0 Report post Posted March 13, 2007 Something kinda ooh kinda makes my heard go boom Gotta love those awe inspiring lyrics that a child could have thought up. And lets be honest, how are manufactured pop bands any better than rappers. Some rappers like Eminem are very quickwhitted and intelligent. What is intelligent about lyrics like "something kinda ooh kinda makes my heard to boom". I have listened to a lot of their songs, and I am still struggling to see what apart from shaking their rears does make them popular. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
