Ugh muse knows music theory of course
https://youtu.be/KlLmtj-1CGo

Muse takes a lot of influence from classical music, they basically lie about their influences they try to sound more like regular blokes in a band and that for example some of their major influences were iron maiden, but truth be told they’re pretty fluent in all sorts of music theory.


Where as supposedly Radiohead is considered more contrarian and they break the rules a lot more, so I guess Radiohead it is in that sense, but yet they don’t know music theory how do they sound so British?

Likewise I was listening to some Deftones and they’re pretty popular and influential yet they don’t really know any music theory I was listening to them and I was like holy shit that’s not music theory the chord progression doesn’t flow as good as it should

So I did a quick little analysis on Jack White, he was getting typed most popularly as an ENFP. But I don’t think he is, I came to the conclusion he’d either an isfp or an istp, because he’s a little like Bob Dylan (isfp) so I thought about it some more and I think he’s an ISTP.

I was just thinking, the thing with him and the past is a complicated affair, it would be easy to shrug off and assume his focus on the past is due to being a sensor and that’s what I always shrugged it off as. It just seemed weird to me like huh wha….? It stuck out kind of, but he passed it off like it was just this individual quirk like he just seemingly liked the past a lot and also a lot of sensors probably do I thought for sure he was conservative or somerthing which affected how I perceived his music.

But now I know better, it’s not actually that simple, thus it’s hard to type him. But I’m particularly struck by the thing with the past quite a bit. Like obviously it’s more than that he’s just a sensor.

But that’s kind of my point, I think it’s harder for other types probably to focus so singularly on the past, usually.

I was stuck also thinking, I think as an intuitive if I were to compare, I think I’m a bit more imaginative, and out of the box, and it’s hard to just stick to one singular focus like Jack White has.

Thus I don’t know if intuitives can really do that, if they can really just accept all that much the past. With Jack White it’s hard to say what it is, it’s almost idealism in that he values the past so much because it has something to do with his ideals but the fact that his idealism expressed itself that way is probably an indication.


So I guess what I’m trying to say is that, is it really reasonable to expect people to box themselves in so much, in such a way. Is it really realistic? I’ve just had a lot of conflicting thoughts about it.

I don’t think for sure you should just be like Kurt Cobain for an example
>>
Kurt Cobain listens to a lot of up and coming alternative underground bands, and took a lot of influence from there.

He didn’t seem to be aware of such a thing, but he questionably made it work somehow perhaps

Jack White was complaining about the Black Keys copying him and it just goes to show you that black will copy just about everything, it’s almost impossible to do something that black won’t copy, I don’t know if it really is possible, they’ll probably find a way to do some version. So I wonder where this leaves everything? Just because there’s a black version of something does this change the quality in someway about the material, or item itself? Or does it still remain the same?

I guess there’s some things black probably won’t steal, so I wonder if you’re expected to steer it in that direction all that much? Are you expected to accomplish this? Like for example, I could see certain lyrics and perspectives not really being copied very much, because it would stand as antithetical, it would represent and stand for completely different things that black doesn’t, thus I could see a possibly this way perhaps. But when creating art there would still probably be elements they could copy.

And also, it would be really hard to make your whole artistic work as representing elements that they can’t counterfeit. It would be hard to make that into art too.
>>
That’s great Nobuo Uematsu wrote the Ff7 soundtrack, he mixes mostly classical and rock music together.

I would love to mostly copy him, but I don’t know if I could really do it anymore. Ugh I hate being limited so much.

But I still want to explore sounds and see if I can find the equivalent of sound for the imagery of Ff7 but that’s probably not really possible.

They would be like crust punks in the slums playing music, but yet Tifa owns a nice fairly large bar there in the slums with electricity and everything. They never really explain how this is even possible. She’s only 20 years old apparently lawl, how did she inherit a bar they never even try to explain this. I think if there was bars in the slums they would be like those old fashioned saloons you would see in the Wild West era of America.

You can basically just do green but even that’s been done by the black

But for some reason, I think it’s still considered kind of an acceptable discourse

I wonder if there’s an equivalent music wise, I wonder if classical fits this marker? Like is classical considered acceptable?

Also, surprised Radiohead is black
I wouldn’t have thought that for sure since they take from jazz music a lot, I would think jazz music is more acceptable or within reason

Slovenia's relationship with Russia has shifted from one of "friendly pragmatism" to significant deterioration following the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. While previously characterized by strong economic ties, a shared Slavic identity, and efforts to act as a bridge between the EU and Russia, the relationship is now strained. Slovenia has condemned Russia's actions, joined EU sanctions, and expressed strong support for Ukraine.

American idiot by greenday has been called punk rock opera. Well, I was just thinking, what if you could those elements and basic song structure and fuse it with prog rock elements, would that work...? It would still be highly melodic, but I would want to throw in some synthesizers, and more guitar pedals, would it work very well?


I was kind of thinking about this because I really wanted to find a way to translate ff7 into an album somehow even if just a little bit
>>
I absolutely love American idiot,

I wonder why it's considered wrong or distasteful to full out make like punk/rock type opera albums and songs? I just don't get it. I wonder if you could get away with it by passing off as 'prog' rock to some extent.

I just love the 9 min jesus of suburbia.

The lyrics to Jesus of suburbia don't seem that great to me now, but I remember more then anything it's just the "and there's nothing wrong with me, in the land of make believe that don't believe in me"

I just think that and some of the other lyrics are like genius, they're so good. I remember smoking pot and listening to that song, it was the only way I could go about feeling any way good about myself, because everyone around me was always just trying to cut me down all the time, and I had to adopt this brazen 'fuck you' type of attitude to deal with it, it was the only rational choice.

He really captured that, like real life experiences that are applicable to life.

Unfortunately I think it's his best work, I don't know what happened to Billie Joe he seemed to run out of steam or they couldn't afford to be anything but complete corporate sell outs
>>
Ugh, looking at the lyrics to American idiot again, it's not as good as I remember. "Steady diet of Ritalin and soda pop" is true and pertinent to some extent, but in execution it feels sort of mawkish and phony to me. It just feels oddly grandiose, and like Billie Joe is putting himself Ona pedestal and trying too hard to relate to the youth. But then I have mixed feelings about it because when he was growing up he was doing drugs like weed (obviously a lot) and freaking speed, so why isn't he more candid about literally doing hard drugs?

But he references religion and it is mostly religion for a lot of American households, religion plays a pretty prominent part still, so it's hard not to really go after that I guess. But a lot of artists don't entirely for some reason, they're not as explicit at least.
>>

Weird I have a hard time being certain waht the difference between the bass and the guitar is with them because the guitar sounds so much like a bass and they play the bottom strings so much in such a way it's again, almost like the bass, usually the bottom strings are only to play riffs
>>
>>23537810
But I guess that's why they're considered a pop band because you almost have to present a similar mode of expression and out,look if you want to be mainstream acceptable, which kind of conflicts because greenday had songs like "American idiot" "wake me up when September ends" which you would think could have really defied the mainstream yet for some reason they were able to get away with that.

I feel like Greenday is good at observation, but I don't know if they're as good at making a point exactly. It just sort of felt like Billie was just trying to justify the way they were and sensationalize themselves too. In a way they were sort of sensationalized and over the top, grandiose setting sort of a bad precedent or role model for the younger generations. I think as much as I enjoy the record, it's also kind of a lesson in what not to do in some instances, unless you're intent is to be a certain way.
>>
There seems to be a difference between artists that were middle class growing up versus outright poor or working class. Some of the musicians I liked who I later found out obviously had a pretty good grasp of music theory and good technical ability on their instruments were like from middle class households to some extent

I wish I had known to go to music school when I was younger, I guess it made a lot of sense because realistically it was probably one of the only ways to find time to practice and study music all day, it was practically impossible to do this otherwise and I experienced extreme hardship when all I wanted to do was learn music, I had the gamut thrown at me. I guess it's probably worth the debt in that respect. But I would have to go and study abroad in America and that would be hard to even do at all. To understand all of that.

Stumbled upon this site
https://nirvana-legacy.com/2012/11/25/no-sonic-youth-no-nirvana/
>>
My dreams are oddly prophetic, I really think I have some weird crazy ability with my dreams like for example, when I just turned 18 I worried all the time about everything back then, I didn't know any better, I had a dream that my town was like in the 1950s, and I was being followed by people dressed in all black all the time, I couldn't escape from them they always seemed to know where I was they always followed me.

Thus I think my dream I had with Kurt Cobain in it where he was playing the guitar for me, I think it must have some kind of special significance maybe.
>>
I also had a dream I was being followed by zombies, in particular by Nemesis from Resident Evil. No matter what I did, where I went, he would find me, and I just always barely escaped, like I remember being in a house somewhere and he would find where I was living and break in an run away.

I used to have this odd fascination, I don't know where the inspiration came from, but I used to have this fear of being chased by some kind of an entity, literally the universe was ending and imploding on itself in a vortex and vacuum and I had to run away to escape it's reach, I imagined lots of stories and scenarios as a child about that.

Little did I know it would be eeirly similar to what I would experience years later as an adult where I had to run away all the time or I would time from like death or disaster and I could never fully escape or get away
>>
Being inspired by Bob Dylan really made me want to start writing songs again though, somehow overcompensating by writing simpler music and making up for it by writing really good lyrics makes it more desirable for me.

But I did have a dream with Bob Dylan in it one time
>>
They say dreams can be a way of communicating with the divine. And the Kurt Cobain dream did feel really eerie but not in a creepy way, but in my dream he almost glowed, and it was such a vivid dream, I remembered most of it when I woke up.

I remember, I felt really depressed when I was a teenager I was like 17-18, and I felt a lot of despair, like absoloute despair I just felt like there was no hope for me at all. I was just feeling down about so many things in life, everything was really uncertain and it seemed like it was hanging by a thread. I also think I was really bummed out by my dad's illness, and well, he always disturbed me for some reason, so I guess I just felt disturbed. He would have hated to know he caused me to feel that way, but he just disturbed me as a kid. He was like this weird country kid, he was always surrounded by junk, and growing up our house was surrounded by junk. I remember his trailer caught fire and I listened to "somebodies house is burning" by Jimi Hendrix. He just terrorized me. I don't fully understand why he disturbed me so much actually. I just wanted to get away from them fighting all the time.

So then I had this weird dream I was on a giant cruise ship, and I remember just taking in the sights of the ocean and I was lost in thought, lost in all my worries again I guess, and there were all these people, I wanted to talk to them but I felt like there was no point or I couldn't, and then I see all these people on deck in a circle sitting down, and I realize, holy shit it's bob dylan, and Jeff Buckley, but also there was all these other musicians but I can't remember them, I think Neal Young as an example, maybe Kurt Cobain. So I slowly walk over and just look at them, somehow later on I'm able to sit with them and I don't remember what they said, but a lot of really profound thoughts or ideas were transcribed to me. I remember Bob Dylan and Jeff Buckley the most.
>>
>>23538174
*he was this weird country guy

Something really disturbed me growing up in that town, and likewise I just couldn't get over feeling disturbed, the only solution was to leave for me.

I just had to leave.

But anyway, I just remember one of them saying "just keep listening to the music"

And that was like the only guidance I ever received during that time that seemed to cut through anything that seemed at all profane or applicable to where I was in life
>>
The dream felt like it inhabited this really intimate candid dimension when I was sitting with all the musicians, like I was inhibiting this strange world that most regular people wouldn't be able to understand, but they were like wise men on this council thinking throughly about my problems and situation, and giving their thoughts, like this wise council it was so strange.

And then I forgot this part but eventually the boat capsized and started to sink, and I remember being underwater with the ship wreck, wel, before that, I went down to the lower levels of the boat to try and find my family, I can't remember what happens, but I think there's nothing I can do to get through to my family they don't listen or budge and then the boat starts to sink and I try running to the surface and I'm suddenly dragged underwater and I start trying to swim desperately to the surface of the water and I wake up as I was trying to get to the surface, it became like a nightmare and I startled awake

But in a way I think they probably would understand more then anyone, maybe it's something to do with being a musician

I just wonder if music is like books at all, books were still pretty popular up until the 50s that was the last time books had a really big impact on like culture outside of sans lord of the rings and Harry potter. I wonder if it's the same with music at all? I can't really see video games taking it's place for an example, video games?

Can video games very as relevant
>>
I guess with my dreams, it has to be something more then simply my subconscious, thus what else could it be?
>>
I realized I think Jack White must take the thing with the past very literal or something, because there’s lots of different variables that probably aren’t taken into consideration the past isn’t necessarily better. That’s the thing, the past actually wasn’t exactly better, it’s just some weird thing, the main idea is not to offend people as much as possible or to frighten and scare people

Thinking bout analyzing Kurt’s guitar sound you could spend forever grueling over guitar tones though
https://youtu.be/axvn0Mbla1E
>>
That guys tone doesn’t sound as smooth and sparkly
It sounds a little too harsh for me though it’s pretty close to Kurt’s sound.

I think the reason Kurt played with fenders was his attempt at being mainstream acceptable to some extent (though it’s not completely mainstream for sure) but the mainstream likes sparkly chiming guitar tones a lot of the biggest indie bands have that kind of tone

I’m not really sure what a mainstream rock guitar tone really sounds like though, the more I think about it the more I think Fender most of the time

>>
Ugh I just don’t think
I’ll be an everyman like Kurt Cobain was. I think I’m a lot more sophisticated than he was for some reason. I used to think maybe I could be, or at least I went through something like that. I think at least, I really wanted to understand the common person, and I thought there was some type of honor or respect in doing that I think largely I was really influenced by extroverted feeling type sentiments and ideals for some reason, they seem a lot more dominant then you would expect in our culture. I was never as fascinated by Kurt Cobain as those around me, like the fact that regular people relate to him at first I thought “wow that’s really interesting” but now it’s like blah do you want them to find you interesting and to resonate with them that much?

But I think trying to mingle has helped with my personal taste somewhat and sensibilities.

“Kurt Cobain is widely considered an "everyman" figure in rock music, largely because he cultivated a persona that resonated with a generation of young people who felt like outsiders, losers, or "slackers". He was seen as a symbol of the common person who achieved massive success without compromising his anti-establishment ideals or "punk dream".
>>
I don’t know where it’s at now
Previously in the past, a lot of the bands I the 80s and 90s were this “new thing” sort of, and Kurt was a part of that, but I don’t know anymore if such a thing really exists because now, it’s more about being lone and solitary I think. All the underground bands are really like “black” and all they’re not as interesting or innovative, they don’t have as much interesting things to say. I would break down the indie/underground scene in different categories, there are genuine underground indie bands that I listened to when I was in Seattle who are okay, some of them are pretty interesting. They follow sort of the tradition of the underground indie bands of the past that has been established like that Kurt Cobain listened to but also that existed prior to that, famous underground acts in general and I guess they take from punk rock acts a lot, it’s where you can actually see the influence of punk rock I guess which is harder to find then metal. Metal is a lot more common, easy to find and I think less intellectual or complicated.

Then there’s all the other underground’s that were influenced by metal primarily, like the metal core bands basically, who can barely play their instruments and are kind of all the same. The scene that led to Pierce the Veil and Bring me the Horizon like blah that’s oddly enough more mainstream though then the former.

I wonder why that is? There are bands that are in between these two sides but from my experience a lot of underground bands are really dark, that hope and optimism that you could find in the 90s music scenes is gone and it was taken for granted probably it’s hard to believe that wasn’t just how things should be but it could actually devolve. Now everything is just super dark, and the super dark musicians have had their effect on almost everyone and they have slowly worked their way into almost every music scene to where it almost feels comfortable saying
>>
Like I was almost raped killed and kidnapped I was certainly drugged and I was almost grabbed by this gay gimp at an underground show.

Like damn underground music has gotten really dark I wonder what Kurt would have thought, like there’s not really much hope to it anymore it’s almost ruined, like you don’t really want to associate too much with it anymore.

I wonder why that is, there must be something that caused it.

It was terrible growing up and reading about subcultures and underground music scenes and loving music art and culture to getting out in the world and discovering that it fucking sucks now like it fucking sucks

Like here you go here are some indie bands that were up and coming when I was young and trying to be a part of something “Lucifers the light of the world”

I’m not sure how to type these people I think alternative subcultures they belong to. They are almost like the descendants of greasers I think, partially because there’s almost something sort of German about them, and I think they’re like greasers because of that. They’re all about being ‘hard’ and tough they all remind me of ESTPs (on the MBTI) like they’re really ESTP laden that kind of culture, where it comes from really favours that personality type the most, and they seem to almost follow along suit with that. I don’t know where its traditions come from exactly but it’s amazing it’s managed to survive so much.

And then there’s all sorts of other subcultures, and they’re all sort of unique and different. But that’s the thing, it was a lot different during the 90s, it was more intellectual and you had more unique types of people and personality types, but a lot of that stuff (the underground culture) has sort of all become the same, it’s a lot more greasers I think, like it’s almost gone back to greasers I think or something. Where’s it’s all just sort of about being tough hard and angry again and it’s sort of, there’s something sort of ‘Americana’ about it all too (in America at least)

There’s not as many quirky smart creative idiosyncratic creative types in the underground anymore either, don’t know where they’ve gone
>>
At least when I was younger there was still some quirky Indy types (these were called the “hipsters”) the hipsters types that was a thing with Gen y at least I’m not sure if there’s hipster indie bands as much anymore with Gen z and the like I haven’t really found any I will
Make it my mission to find some I guess but I guess it’s all about being heavy and ‘hard’ these days for some reason (even though ironically

What does this even mean? The thing is Muse is such a delight to listen to, they're over the top and kind of swarmy sometimes but they're such good musicians

I will have to analyze this later perhaps (he basically stole the melody and chorus from the beautiful people by Marilyn manson)
>>
Yes, Muse is often considered a progressive rock band, though their music is a fusion of genres, including alternative rock, electronic music, classical music, and glam. They are labeled as progressive rock because of their use of experimental and ambitious musical ideas, such as conceptual albums, unusual time signatures, and complex, extended compositions. While they may not always have the long guitar solos traditionally associated with the genre, they incorporate its spirit of musical experimentation and grandeur.

There's this one artist I love, he was influenced a lot by 60s and 70s music, soul, and like jazz and progressive rock. I haven't really had a chance to listen to a lot of jazz or soul music from the 60s and 70s.

But I think the 60s ans 70s were acceptable, TO SOME EXTENT, weren't they? (But what I find interesting is a lot of musicians like from whatever era, completely skip over the 80s) except for some newer like synth bands and shit.


Basically he has this one song, I have spent so much time trying to master it so I could play it perfectly I think I might still play it.

But I've tried to absorb as much as I could from that song, because it's so good I think. It's mostly power chords and barre chords, yet somehow in his writing and putting all the chords together, he was able to channel freaking soul and I think r&b and funk, he managed to combine it all together and that shits never really been done before I think in such a way while still being like, a freaking hard rock. Screw all the people who think the guitar is overdone, there's still no ground to cover.

But it's not very pop at all, but I would like to try and somehow include this in my songwriting I guess.

I'm just going to have to try and understand more deeply what it was with the 60s and 70s why it wasn't considered good enough.

Ugh. Oh I guess, it was too free or something and also it was probably 'too colorful'


But fuck man, I don't know, I just...think that's a good and novel idea on one hand, on the other hand I don't know if I really want to be that painstakingly "good" exactly because that's what it feels like almost

Like it's very painstaking. And difficult, I think it would almost do something that Muse for example, hasn't really done. Muse is influenced by some 70s soul and r&b but they're not as good at it I think you can't really or hear it in their influence very much.

It's just so spiritual almost and "good" you know, though maybe it isn't exactly for sure. I just feel like soul and r&b are a part of who I am almost deep down, it resonates with me deeply in some way.

It's almost too pained and emotional, that's the thing being that emotional is probably considered bad.
>>
Great now I have to figure out why the 60s and 70s isn't considered good enough
>>
Ugh
>>
I stand corrected.

Well, the 60s folk scene was pretty different
>>
I like comparing my thinking style or thoughts I have with Matt Bellamy from Muse. And also how I would write lyrics.

I think I'm pretty intuitive (mbti) and I really think a lot in a very conceptual big picture way I think, at least I do sometimes, but I was thinking about ideas for song lyrics and I dunno. I think I also think a lot about experiences to some extent, though not necessarily my own, sensory experiences hypothetically or conceptually but inspired by things I have experienced. Like, it wouldn't all just be symbolic metaphors, I think I would try to create imagery. Like I think I sort of experience things how Bob Dylan does, I think my style would almost be similar. But I think I can be more conceptual then that if I really wanted to, I'm not entirely sure...

But I was wondering about this, it can't really be argued that it's some form of intelligence, but I really wonder if I think different, almost 'down' instead of more up I guess.

Like I don't think I would maybe be considered as high minded, a lot of people would probably find my writing to be bad in some way because that's the thing many people have been offended by what I say and what I write online thus In a more metaphorical way it would be hard to be sure
>>
Holy shit this is like the 80s accepting it, this is like European somehow, before the 1950s, but it probably wasn't accepted for some reason.
>>
That's the thing I'm not sure what the fashion is actually supposed to go back to hypothetically but I am okay with that
>>
I just don't know what I'm doing here, how did I end up down this path? I just liked music a lot. But this affair with rock music feels somewhat absurd at times.

Like the history of rock and roll is pretty much black I think isn't it? It's pretty much greasers and shit. What the fuck am I doing? That's why I should be more blues laden I guess but I dunno
>>
That's why musicians are all fucking black I guess it seems only right...they probably feel they owe it to them
>>
Another 80s band well it's pretty cool what they did in the 80s, but they tried doing that in the 60s and 70s a bit but in different ways but I guess 2020s there's like no clear version of that. How strange.
>>
Ugh
>see woman I find attractive
>le black

UGH EVERYTIME
>>
Of course blues is more acceptable, it would be of course.

I can just see that now, but it kind of irks me. It doesn't nearly cover it I think.
>>
Ugh water wet, this is who are the big name acts currently? That's all he has to say. I guess, it's interesting to actually hear that from somebody as a first hand account, but it just seems obvious to me. Like number 1 first step of not being a shallow person.

But yet they just increasingly lower the bar, that's what ive seen a lot with music and movies, they keep lowering the bar for some reason
>>
This is what I mean sort of by 80s sounds but this is not actually an 80s song it sounds so close I thought it was

ugh I think this is taken from the 1930s a bit, I think that’s partially where that style comes from or is inspired by, what specifically though from the past era was it? I wonder….

Don’t really know what this means though but I find it very interesting

>>23544898
which bit you speak about? miss there more
>>
>>23544898
I think it’s mostly his hat and horns, I’m not sure what it is with those horns specifically, it’s kind of like the Statue of Liberty, I’m sure you could find out if you looked up the Statue of Liberty
