Here in Oz MTV is so crap!!! All they show is "R & B" ****e all day.

i hear ya. I am a lil tired of that myself. what happened to all the rock? there HAS to be a few decent bands left right? you dont see anything like that now. real world, game shows, shows about teens dating and stuff...whatever. it gets old. VH-1 classic has at least people playing thier instruments. Lukather had a good point in one of his interviews, no one wants to learn to actually PLAY anymore, everything is image. sux...and then you get endless R.B....no skills nEEDED!!!!hooray for Pro Tools!!!

 

[robelinda2]

yep we get VH1 here, i watch it all the time. they have full days of 80's and 70's stuff, its great. I'M OLD!!!!

im 32...1 kid, wife dude what happened to my youth..!? saw pearl jam on storytellers last night, not really my thang but good to see some rock. They were just on tour up here. They need some ebmm's though....

 

[robelinda2]

well i got no kids yet, but i tell ya, i'm not going nuts on EBMM guitars this year for nuthin, plans are a cookin. gotta get the guitars now while i still can......wifes biological clock is tickin, we're both 28.

hmm, where is this thread going now??

 

[olorin]

besides the signature players for EBMM, i cant think of any mainstream bands that use EBMM except for the basses, which I see lots of players using. Strange too, because of the quality/component quality of EBMM, you would think more popular bands would. Fender and Gibson own the world I guess. Maybe thats a good thing since the build times on these would probably be three years instead of 5 months...

Oh...BTW beware of 29 man. Thats when my wife surprised me with being preggers with my son....I was like, "uh, your pregnant? you sho I did that..LOL". We had a deal though when we got married that she would not mess with my sports cars and guitars, and she has stuck with that so i am cool. Thing is, I kind of have to make a "donation" to her clothing fund when I purchase a guitar, so its only every six months or so. Now, if she would just learn to play guitar...

There was a program on Ann about a year ago (Arts and entertainment network I think) dealing with the depression she faced trying (and mostly failing) to keep her weight down to please the suits at the record label, management company, booking agents, etc.

Seems MTV wasn't eager to show her in the vids either, focusing mostly on Nancy, and tight shots of ann.

No doubt she has one of the best voices ever in rock. And some of the best songs too. I regret not seeing them live back in the 80's.

+100 That has nothing to do with the weight Ann gained
When I buy a heart CD or go see them in concert I am not paying money to look at Ann's butt. I want to hear her sing. it's a shame that in the music industry it's better to be a crack addict than to be over weight. Also, seocities vanity toward appearance has gotton out of hand.
Did anyone else notice that Aretha Franklin could stand to lose a couple of pounds?

 

[olorin]

LOL.....true that about Aretha. Thats the problem with this whole music biz man. Its like they want something like basically teenagers all dolled up, not to play and make some decent music but to just strut around, act like idiots and not even know what to do with thier instruments. Let alone put some work into song composition, a melody, etc. Vocals like Ann's, you'd be EXTREMELY hard pressed to find that type nowadays. I am 32 and I find myself listening to more classic rock than ever before.
