absolutely fake
carter beauford is a great drummer
actually everyone on that stage is an excellent instrumentalist
the bassist though
he is one of the wanker bassists
I found a video of him playing a solo and he is good at playing the instrument but has no soul in it
he isn't expressing anything, just machine gunning notes
not unlike a lot of metal
3 minutes into a 4 minute clip he starts actually playing music and it isn't much
and only does it for like 30 seconds
Since we are at hippy music
This part
as well as 1:16:00
better than dave matthews band at least
this is some truly weird shit
I like it
you can check out proper studio recoding on youtube, they kinda add to the psychedelia
bands like this are great live
really trippy weird shit
I expect a band to be great live yet not have the focus be the band
that is why I hate people playing little "solos" that are basically just wanking
to me the point of music is mood, an internal feeling in the listener
anything that breaks that, makes them focus on things too concrete or on any of the band people, that is gay
needs to put you in a state of trance, hypnosis
to me music is not "let's see what these guys do," it should be them saying "let's see what we can make these people feel"
which is why 90% of the time i prefer listening to music on my computer
because live performances are simply sub-standard
a truly good live performance is very rare
even truly instrumentally/vocally good is rare, much less having all the other mood shit on top of it
i liked this one, but the guy behind this act, Simon Posford, says it's incredibly hard to organize them which is why he only did it twice
and in the age of MP3 and EDM festival there is no incentive to make it
rest of the time he simply DJ's his albums
this is why despite being a multiinstrumentalist I am going to make primarily digital music
so it can be about the music and not what a coolguy I am
well, electronic sometimes just kicks ass
analog monophonic basses can sound really full, even software emulated ones
I am going to primarily shoot for normal band instrument sounds
but yeah
it's really important to avoid digital sounding (in a negative sense) instruments like plague
