Music doesn't have to be difficult to play to be intelligent, a lot of Miles Davis' songs are quite simple. It's just that music that allows your brain to be distracted and still get the point is shaping a habit. It doesn't have to be classical music either, it can be rock music too, it just has to have some sort of substance.
you are sort of contradicting yourself their you know, rock is for stupid people, yet now rock is intelligent. as for certain types of music making you more brainy, i had heard that was all just a theory. like it wasnt actually the music itself, just the mood it put you in allowed you to relax and concentrate more efficiently.
I haven't contradicted myself at all. I clearly said that rock music for the most part was made for stupid people by stupid people, but as everything there are certainly smart artists within.Quote:

man you need to stop being so defensive. i mean if i were a psychiatrist id say you were trying to draw negative attention away from you lame band by putting everyone and everything else down. i mean your band isnt too good, just keep at it but channel that negative energy into something positive before you blow your top broseph.
I'm quite calm, and if you were a psyciatrist you'd realize I'm just having a laugh. Most of you just don't get it, but that's not my problem, I personally don't care what you think about me through my posts on a cannabis forum.
sure you have, admittedly you said that there were exceptions, but thats always the case with anything, be it music, film, literature or anything else you can care to think of. stating that rock is made by stupid people and is for stupid people sounds like just predjudice to me and you have gone and compounded this by saying that as long as rock has a substance to it, it will just as beneficial to listen to as some form of high brow music. its like saying that the blues is played by blacks, for blacks and its the devils music [classical oppinions regarding the blues] although when they play the occaisional christian tune, thats the exception to the rule. you cant have it both ways.
bonamassa is a god. 80% of his live solos are improvised. he can improvise better than people who make a living at it. he has more emotion than any guitarist of this generation, he can keep up with steve vai, and he blends it together seemlessly. im not saying he is the best ever, you cant rank that it is a matter of opinion, but you can safely say he has far more talent than most people playing the instrument. fuck bonamassa is a god among men. i cant wait in forty years when i just have all his albums from when they came out and have seen him hundreds of times when people are like who was this forgotten gem. i know it is going to happen. he wont be appreciated in his time. its all good to me.
bonamassa is god
No it's not like that at all.Quote:

2 words.
Indies
Emos
I totally agree, music has gone down hill lately. That's not to say you can't find good music these days, for example I bought an Adrian Belew ( King Crimson guitaritst) solo cd and it kicks some major ass. You have to look outside of the mainstream shit. Even stuff that rivals alot of the 70s music (best era of music imo) such as Radiohead, Dream Theater or Tool (Pretty much the Led Zeppelin of the 90s/00s) and that's not even listing more underground bands. As you can tell im really into progessive.
My point being you just have to look. Unless you look harder, all you're going to find is the complete and utter shit that is modern mainstream music
UK music is in a state... so muck UK garage and hardcore... i guess it depends what you like...
Blak Twang, Roots Manuva... two of the best british artists around IMO... look them up if you get a chance ;)
Yeah man, Roots Manuva is good stuff. Good old fashioned, positive, insightful hiphop.
Then again, who needs that when you've got bling and bitches and candy shops?

they did that so if you want music you have to purchase the extra cable channels so you spend more money.Quote:
