I've noticed these personal attacks against others also, maybe the mods should have to approve your posts before they go up to make sure your cyber bullying stays in check.

You're the one who shows little respect to people who realise that music has evolved past a bunch of woman beating black guys making moaning sounds and singing the most banal lyrics ever.

Please die. For me?

A drum machine is one of the most useful musical tools ever invented that actually opens possibilities to do things that even a virtuoso level drummer cannot do.

Don't give me this pretentious crap about soul and how soul is some black guy screaming "baby baby baby i neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed you" and sh*t. Soul is a useless word, you cannot transfer emotion into music, you can put emotion into a performance but that doesn't mean people will be emotionally affected by the music because how the music affects someone depends entirely on the person.

When I listen to Otis Redding all I can think of is "talentless hack". I'm from the Memphis area and it's dangerous to say that but it's the truth.

I'm not sure I understood the bold part correctly, but does this mean, according to you, that non-performance arts, like visual arts, for example, can't transfer emotion through form? I mean, they cannot be performed (in time, like music and dramatic arts). Maybe what you call a performance I call a form, an aesthetic. Is that what you meant?

I would like to see the e-bow and the cello be used more. The cello is my second favourite instrument and can create some really beautiful sounds. The e-bow is very trippy and usually can make something alot more interesting than it would be if it was played on, say, the guitar.

You don't have anything to apologize for.

I won't say you have horrible taste in music but we are at opposite ends of the spectrum.

I think the problem here is you view a drum machines as some kind replacement for drums. They aren't. They're different instruments with different strengths. Your statement is the equivalent of saying there has never been an instance where a saxophone has improved music over a flute. It's a non sequitur.
