Well, you tend to go to listen to the music usually, which because it is performed live and not mimed sounds different to the record. Some times better, some times worse, sometime more intense and sometimes limper. But that's live music. Most fancy stageshow I've ever seen at a gig was a big backdrop with the headliners logo on it at the back of the stage. And fuck it, I don't know anyone who goes to gigs for cute sideshow antics. Give me music thanks.

I disagree. At a lot of metal gigs, the last thing people are doing is listening. And that rightly pisses me off.

There are different qualities of listening. They seem to me to be hearing but not listening - at least to my conception of listening.

First of all the shows are not 30 minutes, the shows are about 2 hours. Don't give me that bullshit that people go to the concerts just to hear music. Otherwise what is the point, you could just listen to music in your I-pod and that's music. Most people come to the shows to see the band or the artist. People who go to Pop shows in particular expect to see the cool special effects, the dancing, the amazing costumes, the lights and the Pyro's. Most pop artist who do mime either don't mime the whole show or they try to connect with the crowd as much as possible. And all of this has doesn't have to with making music it has to do with making a performance.



So fuck yourself in the ass already and stop being so closed minded.

And you are not the one to speak about being openminded

I wont even bother reading after you said Bob Dylan is boring and no different than anyone, that just makes everything you said and will ever say a joke

I never said I was open-minded, and how someone who only listens things that are on radio is openminded?

So basically, you hate everything but Salsa, Pop and country (stuff commonly played on radio as far as I know), latin rock (what is this anyway?), and reggae (nothing to say here), really open-minded

Alright just to end a pointless arguement I differ from your understanding of underground, and just to clear my mind Latin Rock is Rock made by latin people like this:
or rock influenced by latin sounds like this

So Steph, who are your favourite jazz artists & groups?

And when you say R&B do you mean...pop music or do you mean rhythm & blues? If the former then it's technically called R'n'B to differentiate it from R&B.
