Is Guitar music in a coma?

How can you say that when there is an Aerosmith thread so recently active on this forum

ON THE SUBJECT OF electronic music, John Talabots LP is wonderful

u just know he's been watching the mark knopfler night on bbc4.

all in the past ain't it lad.

I SERIOUSLY HAVENT. i've been playing fifa 12 and chatting to mate on facebook about our drinking problems.

You need to leave that club you go to that's full of hipster frank bruno's - only then will u learn about real rock n roll and whats out there bro

it's a sea change. The method for composing demos and recording has changed alot in the last decade. Years ago you'd write a song, record it on your dictaphone and pass the tape around so you could practice it full-band. Nowdays everybody records with the PC to begin with, and songs naturally shape up in a different way. Since the technology has changed, the way people approach composition has changed -- it's rare to hear songs composed with the guitar in mind, or starting from a riff or a chord progression. Composing with a computer gives you a different range of tools you can use; that's probably why, in comparison, guitar music is considered square of limited. I think this transition has shifted the focus from "how a song is written" to "how can I string these ideas together?".


Add to that that while our generation has been built on heavily guitar oriented music like Nevermind or Definitely Maybe or OK Computer to some extent, this generation has its foundation on stuff like Kid A and the likes.

REAL MUSIC


Everything else is fake or shit.

hear, hear!

i think you're right, the problem is of course person with laptop in small club is FUCKING BORING to watch usually its only when the music is seriously transcendant can it get anywhere near watching a good band
(lately I've seen ital and walls pulling it off mind you)

but then theres people like seams, who probably made the tune of last year.. just fucking dull to watch live though (it didnt help that he was playing with three trapped tigers who were amazing mind you)



but when you I said square I kind of meant in terms of audience etc rather than the creative process, lots of people are still wedded to the concept of the 4/5 piece lads in a band. which might actually be something thats now over for everyone other than the likes of axl.

Not only do you not know shit about rock n roll.....

You've posted a shit, boring, and generic video that a 13 year old could have made on his pc in 1995 and called it "The tune of last year". You also listed two bands or sub humans/artists that no one has ever heard of.



Congratulations, you are officially the worst hipster cunt of all time, Although I've never met a 50 year old hipster before, naturally this phenomena fascinates me.

Walls are of course a two piece band from TCOTU who release on the KOMPAKT label, whilst Ital is as I'm sure everyone knows the solo work of the singer from Mi Ami

incidentally, this is the last pic of me, taken last week.
in what way do I resemble a hipster?

You resemble a massive hipster.

bad shirt day that's for sure.

Electronic music has been around for a while now forever, guitar/ladrock isn't going anywhere. I blame The Strokes for disappearing up their own arses. But it'll be back with a bang.

I do hate going to a party, playing some guitar rock and have everyone say I'm "still living in 2004". I blame MGMT for that.

I think it is, and that's not a bad thing. There has probably never been a worse time for popular music than the landfill indie stage of 2006-9.

I feel like guitar driven music has been hijacked by insipid assholes who go to bed at 21:00 .
