How to Prevent Guitar Track from getting Exhausting/Boring

The longer you guys keep talking about Springsteen and the Beatles, the more this thread goes right back to the original poster's problem: painfully, annoyingly, brutally boring music.
 
Lol. I challenge anyone to convince me that I should like or respect springsteen or the beatles. The both suck. Boring shit. Record sales don't count because tons of pop garbage "acts" sell tons of records. So what's the big deal?
 
There is no big deal. That's my point. I was comparing them to the OP's original problem: what to do about boring music!

I've always said that I thought the Beatles were just at the right time at the right place. America's youth was rife with hormones and a desire to piss of their parents. The 4 lucky kids from Liverpool took advantage of that opportunity and milked it for all it was worth.

As far as the British Invasion goes, I've always thought that the Who were by far the best export in that deal. Over the years, even the Stone's have grown on me a bit--but the Beatles are still lost on me.

Yes, exactly. I think the beatles were just cutesy, easily digestible vapid pap for girls. I can't understand why that doesn't bother more people. :laughings:
 
It obviously all comes down to taste and what one finds important in assessing talent.

Obviously, if one doesn't put a lot of importance on melody and harmony, then anything the Beatles did will be lost on them. Some people find attitude more important, stuff has to have some balls to it and don't really care about melody and all that shit. I personally, wish I could write one tune that's as good as most Beatles tunes, but that's because I don't appreciate the same things someone like Greg does, for example. I listen to the Ramones, and I say the same thing you do when you hear a Beatles tune: What is the big deal? It's all attitude and very little substance, and certainly nothing that I find special. But that's the beauty of music. Personally, I think Greg's originals are 10 times better than any Ramones tune I've ever heard. The Clash, I get. The Ramones, just not my cup of meat.

I'm sure there are a lot of Springsteen fans reading this thread who totally disagree with me and think that my problem is that I don't "get" Springsteen. It's all good.

But I agree that sales has nothing to do with it, or else we'd all be Boyz 2 Men fans. :eek:

I will send you $10.00 and a naked pic (of me, not my wife) for all future rights to the phrase "Vapid Pap." Could be a band name, could be a feminine hygiene product--either way, $10 and a hot pic could be yours!

Okay, deal.
 
Let's all swap naked pics and just pool our money to buy lessons for the OP.

I dunno..."Papid Vap" sounds kinda Catholic. That's not a bad thing, but I'm not Catholic. Besides, my dignity isn't worth much..
