You just aren't getting the point he is making man, like at all.
You're reading in to this as if this guy and his band are trying to say they're set apart from all the other generic sh*t that is out there, when he's saying the opposite. Did you even watch it? He's saying it's hard to sound different because everyone else already sounds like Filter or any other Rock band out there. But my opinion? Filter isn't nearly as generic, in fact I say they're much more original than a large amount of all these other bands selling out venues because people have bland taste.
Your point on electronic is moot to me in this conversation because I don't listen to electronic music. There's a lot you can do with it from what I have heard and been told about. But what I've been shown (don't ask who, because I don't remember, I just remember how the music sounded and it sounded so basic and simple to me...) did not impress me. I want the sound of live instruments in my music. I can't get the same feeling or sound out of something that's processed through a computer and whatever music program being used to make those sounds. You know Celldweller? Klayton, the guy behind it, is hugely all about the electronic movement. I think he's a brilliant musician, but I have never favored the electronic music he's put out, I prefer the more Rock or Industrial material he's released.
You're also talking to me like me referencing Katy Perry is the only example of bland music I know. It's not. But why would I sit here and attempt convincing someone that's so tightly wrapped up in their own opinion and won't acknowledge the valid points about the state of music as a WHOLE and not just a part of it? Because you're focus on one small part of it with electronic music, like seriously dude.
You already had your mind made up about that interview I posted before you spent that thirty seconds skipping through it and missing anything you might have found yourself agreeing with.
It's hard talking about things like this with a person with a view like yours, because you just won't have things any other way than your own. An MTV perspective? Dude, that's just hilarious because Richard is entirely against MTV, has been for a while. The last video I believe they had played on there was way back in 2000, when MTV didn't play so much sh*t.
You're narrow minded, and your have a narrow minded perspective because of it.
You're not bringing anything substantial to this topic, so why should I bother discussing it anymore with you? Give me one reason why I should be convinced you know what you're talking about. Because you don't understand it as well as you think you do, not from how I see things.
