This is mainly a rant, so don't read if you don't feel like reading a rant.I turn on the radio...just to turn it off 5 minutes later.
I change the channel every 2 minutes because what I hear bring me to anger.
I look at most viewed music video...just to see that it sucks.
I look at M+ (My version of MTV)... just to see that it sucks.
But why?
Why music has gone THIS bad? How could it?
I have the answers: Autotune, Grunge and New Artists
Autotune killed music. Because it gives the ability to any boderline retarded ****** or talentless ***** (yes, I'm looking at you Bieber and Rihanna, being the two worst artist that ever existed) to have a robotic or so much edited voice that it doesn't sound like yours to the slightest. Yeh, it gives a voice to people that doesn't have any. With budget, I could go on, take one of my self made lyrics, make a crappy beat and autotune myself and become a legend. It doesn't make me a GOOD artist. It's unnatural and it frankly sucks.
Aerosmith, Metallica, Iron Maiden, Kiss, Journey, Queen, David Bowie, Bon Jovi, G'N'R, Pink Floyd, etc. They didn't need autotune, because they had talent. They played with their heart, they had real instruments, real voicing and that's what made them special and even legendary.
And, am I the only one who noticed how much today's music sound quality is **** HORRIBLE? Try turning up the sound of a Lady GaGa song and hear how bad it sounds. In 80s, every single song had outstanding sound quality. And it was powerful, you could turn it up to an infinite level and still have a perfect sound.
Grunge killed music aswell. Because of Nirvana. Nirvana was an alright band that had some talent and made some few good songs in a way that only THEM could make that. Only Nirvana could make 3 chords songs with average lyrics and make it good. No one else. Because it was their style. It was simple, dirty, and it was fine that way. But they're responsible because EVERY other retarded thought it would be an awesome idea to do like them and start copying their style and it turned like crap, thus making crap music over the years. Because Nirvana and Nirvana ONLY could make real Grunge. The rest was just either wannabe or pure piece of ****. Seriously. I cannot imagine any other band, no matter how legendary they are, singing Smells Like Teen Spirit. No wonder why newbies only made bad songs if they took that style. Add the fact that it created laziness in the writing of lyrics and music and turned out poorly years later.
New Artist killed music. Because they don't give a ****. They make crap lyrics. Their songs mean nothing. And their videos...It's not music, it's either robotic noise or breasts exposure. Who the hell said you had to make a clip half naked to have succes? Look at Samantha Fox, she made one of the most erotic song of all time (Touch me), and yet she didn't have to show up nearly naked in her clip.
And singers today...They're all freaking the same all over again. Pop artists over and over again...
In the 80s, there was only two female pop singer: Madonna and Kylie Minogue. And it was very fine that way because they were true.
And only one male: Michael FREAKING Jackson. The King of Pop.
These three had talent, they made good songs, and they didn't need **** auto tune for that. They were the only main pop singer and they were pretty **** good. They even became legend. Now, I stopped counting pop artist, there's too many of them and they all sing the same thing over and over again.
And now I'm coming to my final point, bands are as bad. No, don't tell me «You're looking at the wrong place! Dont listen radio band! There is plenty of great bands, they're just underground!»
Yes, they might have some talent. But they cannot even think of about maybe tieing Queen, Journey or Metallica.
Why do you think Ozzy, Iron Maiden, Kiss and such are still around? BECAUSE THEY HAVE NOT FOUND ANYBODY ELSE TO REMPLACE THEM!!! There is no **** artist that can remplace The Prince of Darkness, The Demon of Screaming or The Metal God. Modern bands like Three Days Grace, Disturbed, Avengend Sevenfold, Foo Fighters and The Killers might be great and underrated, but they will never reach the glory the other bands I listed. Because there is no **** way Disturbed can be compared to Metallica, Megadeth or Maiden. NO WAY! They had incredible lyrics, outstanding guitar riffs and solos, amazing sound quality and much more, something that today bands don't have and probably never will if it continues that way. Because rock/metal bands of today can only make songs about how angry they are, about how their life suck or how much they hate somebody or the society. And mainstream crap can only make songs about how rich they are, about how many ***** they get, about idiotic crap that mean absolutly nothing and sound like a bugged 64track.
I listened to a 60+ minutes compilation of the 80s music. I watched it until the end and loved almost all of the songs.
I listened to 10 minutes 2000s music compilation. I nearly shed a tear. It sucked SO **** BAD. I couldn't even make it through the end, it was so UGLY the way that music turned. Shame it is.
Who else agrees? If not, what do you think killed music or why do you think it is still alive?
I'll leave ya with a short compilation of what was real music to me:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJHzvhqVfyIIt's pure sheer power. The hell of a voice. It's not GaGa, Rihanna or Perry that could sing that.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9f06QZCVUHgAgain, fantastic voice. Catchy beat and true power. You don't see that anymore.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlq0lYB3iSMVan Halen at their best. Catchy, nice solo and REAL talent.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_kh84i1F7ggAmazing sound. Great voice that reminds me of Freddie Mercury a little bit.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktdQiODWt84HOW can you not like this song?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWyeVfuolT4Everytime I make long distance road, I listen to this. It is so nice.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cues2i1fv58Powerful song, turn on the volume just to see how incredible it sounds.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvDMlk3kSYgDisco at its best. I dream of dancing to that in a club. Go to the stage and start singing like an idiot. BUT I CAN'T BECAUSE THEY CAN ONLY PUT NEW AGE MAINSTREAM CRAP!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afHQd-lP4yUOne of my favorite songs. It plays so good. The quality is perfect. Perfectly balanced. God this IS music.
