ALL PRAISE YOUR SUPREME LORD CORBO
Let's just say that people used to use the right definition of "greatest band ever" a great band would then be identified as one that crossed the boundaries from classical music to say... electronic. What I'm saying is that a great artist is only great because of how they changed and what they mean in history. You have for example Steve Vai who's an amazing guitarrist but he wouldn't exist, or at least be what he is right now, if there hasn't been any Van Halen before him.
Why? Because Van Halen is simply great because of how he changed the way people play guitar now. So did the beatles and so did Pink Floyd, they have all revolutionized music and they should be considered great, not best, but great as best is subjective.
But I listen to music nowadays and there's nothing new, I hear little kids that are sometimes even my age (18) and already singing with their girly-like voice hate music, you know the "I WANNA DIE" drama and all of that. And then I hear another song and say "Oh it's probably their new song" but then the DJ proves me wrong by saying 30 seconds to mars and then I hear another song after that one and say "What is this now? It dounds the same, it's probably a band combo" and yet again the DJ proves me wrong by saying, I don't know MCR or something like it.
Now where's the fun in that? Where's the great in that? That's not great, that's just stupid. Copying the same beats, using the same chords over and over again and changing only verses by basically same chorus and same rhymes, what's the fun in that?
I think that people that sing the "I wanna die" music should... really go die. There's no other way for me to say it but straight ahead.
The same thing happens with rap, pop, rock and metal. Rap's just dumb, I've heard 5 songs from different artist one after each other and they all had the same rythm and beat behind their forced rhymes. Pop's just me, I had enough pop with the boy bands, rock's just random distortion noise now and metal it's just people thinking they're cool because they play a 30+ minute solo which is, I accept, amazingly fast but worthless to provide anything good to music history.
My point is that there won't be anything great until someone actually tries to do it and not just sell themselves as whores to get some money. I can't remember if it was on romance but we need someone to take back the "Art for Art" motto and apply it to everything in this money-corrupt world.
So Ex, by saying the beatles suck remind yourself that you wouldn't have your little groups if it wasn't for them that changed the way music plays today.
fuck you all
