I'd second that. Although I don't know about lyrically :-)

Re: BEATLES VERSUS ROLLING STONES (5 replies, posted in Bands and artists)
I wouldn't say the Stones contributed nothing but I'd have to agree there is no comparison between the Beatles' influence on the music industry versus that of the Stones. The Beatles were much more influential. Doesn't make to the Stones insignificant just not nearly as influential IMO. I can't think of a more influential band in any era.

Poetry?? I wouldn't say so.. I'd say some were poetic though. IMO When It's put to music it's lyrics not poetry. He's a great songwriter for sure, but I could never get past his voice. It's slightly annoying to me.
Hope all is well with you Doc! -Pix
I'll second that. Also, if you read his lyrics, it's barely poetry. If you compare his prose to poetry it pales in comparison.
But, while I'm on a rant, he's far better lyrically than Jim Morrison ever was. Brace ourselves Doors fans....Morrison gets WAY TOO much credit for his lyrics. And teh band never got any credit. Without them, he'd be just another California 60's kid.

Re: WORKING CLASS HERO (4 replies, posted in Bands and artists)
Great, great song..wish I could write just 1 like that. I think it's as good or better than anything Dylan has done. I hold Lennon as a songwriter and artist in much higher esteem than Dylan. Always have and always will.

If you have to choose, spend more on the mic. You can always get more storage later but without a decent mic you'll be dissapointed.

Re: is it ok to learn on a cheap crappy guitar? (22 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
dguyton wrote:
"Cheap" acoustic guitars are notorious for their high, stiff action which may be coupled with other quality shortcomings, all combining to make the instrument difficult to play. Once you add in the weakness in beginner's fingers, it's no wonder why so many give it up in short order. So, the cheap instrument will affect your ability to learn, but only in the sense that you are saddling yourself with the same obstacles that "almost everyone" faces. You won't sound good at first, you'll struggle with sore fingers, and your subsequent willingness (and physical ability) to play will be limited.
.
I think sometimes playing on a high action guitar can be a good thing. learning is difficult and if you make it through bar chords with a crappy acoustic (as I did) it'll be a joy playing a quality guitar. And you'll appreciate it that much more. I see so many bad players with their Martins and Taylors, it's almost laughable. If high action makes you want to quit you might not have the desire to play....I know this is the macho "no pain; no gain" thing but I think it rings true. And besides, I've played some pretty fine 200.00 acoustics. It's all in the set up. Washburn, Epiphone, Takamine all make decent entry level units. Just my 2 cents worth.

Re: is it ok to learn on a cheap crappy guitar? (22 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
Almost everyone learns on a "cheap" guitar. As Doug Smith says above, a good set up can make any guitar playable. Although if you stick with it, you'll probably upgrade and aquire a case of GAS (Guitar AcquisitionSyndrome) and own many. I still have my first one 20 years later and still play it a few times a week despite having 5 others of better quailty.

Id hate to jump into college and get in a bunch of debt when I'm not really sure what I want to do for my career yet. I like working with kids, so thats something to work with I guess. Its always struck me as odd that society expects us stupid teenagers/young adults to know right now what we want to do for the remaining 3/4s of our lives
Excellent plan!!! Find out what you want to do. Speaking from experience I did what I wanted to do at 18 and found out by 30 it wasn't what I wanted to do. Keep an open mind

Re: The evolution of a band. (4 replies, posted in Bands and artists)
There doesn't seem to be as many real bands anymore (signed and successful anyhow). By real, I mean a bunch of guys who decided to get together and make music. Who got together because of common interests and were friends as well as band mates. It seems more "formula related" today at least on the national signed acts level. Seeking a pretty boy lead singer or hired gun guitarists. Does anyone think a band based on personaliites as well as musical insterests/abilities is important or more likely to succeed in teh long run? Is this why there is less longevity with bands?
