Music Then & Now!!!!!!!!!!!

Heylo guys how have you been, all these days I have been giving you knowledge and snippets on bands artists etc,today I thought for a change let me share my views on how the music world is today.....

Hmmmm where to start, Music……… what does it mean, has anyone ever thought of this………I must say a melange of thoughts feelings and emotions of one or more people combined with harmony and melody...I think I’ve gone too far… getting to the point what I see today is that people's talents in the field of Music have been taken over by technology.We have people running synthesized loops and then playing their music over it,frankly speaking I see very few artists really expressing themselves...

Going back to the 60's or the 70's people expressed their views with music for whatever they wanted to convey out to the public and the masses,music took over peoples lives.Nowadays all I see is people interested in videos than music.

Let me tell you something that a while back.Around 1 year back I came across the song Break it Down Again by Tears for Fears ,I was hooked the first time I heard it,the keys vocals percussions gr, one better that the other,then a few months back I just came across the video and I was shocked that I could like such a song as it had the most meaningless video,low budget looks like it was done in a day!!!!!
I realised how much I had liked the song without even seeing the video..... So basically people hardly made that many videos and even if they did they didn’t concentrate on the quality of videos as what they cared about is the music

Lets take Ray Manzereck of The Doors for all those who don't know Ray he is the organ player(keyboard) for Doors one of the talented people I have come across, basically because of him playing two instruments moreover the thought that came into his head.The Doors were regularly playing at night clubs without a bassist and people kept complaining about that the sound lacks energy a.k.a a bassist.Ray had come across a Fender Rhodes bass piano in one of the music shops but never had seen anyone play it as most of the bands had bassist's. And as he made use of it The Doors musical style took such a different turn as he was able to generate the bass sound in songs that needed the power and a different bass melody for slower songs.... and if you get a chance to see one of their videos just concentrate on Ray and see talent at its best.......

Just like Ray we had many artists who displayed their talents in various ways ,John Paul Jones of Led Zepp,Pete Townshend of The Who ,Ian Anderson of Jethro Tull,Mark Knopfler and many many more.....

All these people squeezed out every ounce of their talents onto their music and generated and created songs that even kids who go to school today hear and enjoy

All we see nowdays in a rock concerts is guitarists trying to impersonate another famous guitarists style, I have noticed very few musicians with their own style and I must say those few are gifted but most important is that they know how to nurture their gift ,The Gift of being a Musician....


So a message to all the young budding musicians who want to be like their famous rockstars ... no problem in idolizing them or worshiping them but try to understand what music meant to them and try creating your own style of music and innovative ways of variation as you would be really appreciated by all.....
