What is the future of music?

[moody_fa_loonie]

what do u guys believes gonna be the next big thing in the upcoming years?? any ideas if any new styles will emerge or will everythin stay the same....i personally think ppl will want old folk music to come back like in the 1930's juss simple music but i think pop will die out soon

[Kevin Taylor]

Techno Guitar.
NIN meets Van Halen.

[Hammurabi]

NiN blows.

I think we'll see more and more hardcore music in the style of Avenged Sevenfold and Odd Project. Rap-metal will probably go out of style and something like rap-emo will replace it.

[Kutzki]

DUDES
listen its talk like that
that is making Rock N Roll NOT come back!!!!
you gotta believe!!!
ZEPPLIN WILL ALWAYS RULE!!!!
k music needs a revolution thats really it
we havent had a band like even "the beatles" that everyone has at least heard of
and we need a revolution for rock and roll!!! :cool:
k dudes rock on and BELIEVE!!!

[Lordathestrings]

For a while there, I was thinkin' that file-sharing was gonna put The Biz in a bad way, and let music popular break free. I don't mean 'Pop' music - I mean music that enjoys popularity because a lot of people like it.

But the stats are in. CD sales by big labels actually increased last year, after a couple of years of decline. C'mon, people, that's no way to get them to understand that they're wrong! I mean, gawwwdayum! Even the bimbo & bimbette (Paris & wassname) are gonna release CD's this year! :eek:

i agree. rock & roll has always been a rebellion and we kinda ran out of
things to fight for. well i say its time to fight for the right to rock.
i think the reall rock is comming back i know a lot of people really getin in to
zepplin and the stones and aerosmith you know the whole classic rock scene
and really geting tierd of the 3 chord s*** . thats what i think is comming
back a retake on the classic rock stuff
ROCK ON!!! :D

[Tele Master]

There is no such thing as rock n'roll anymore, it's all hard-core processed pop punk. What will kids be listening to in years to come? Floyd, zep, SRV, hendrix, sly and the family stone, cream, yardbirds, beatles, stones, bad company, boston,doors, aerosmith, GNR, van halen....no body is gonna give a shiat about britney spears and her gay ass, retarded "scandals". I pray to god that reality TV will go out of style tomorrow, rap gets a bomb dropped on it, and record companies start thinking about the music instead of the $$.

There will be no such crap as lip sinking , "because your sick", o boohoo your life is so hard because your sister paved the way for you. I hate frigin hippocrits...dressing punk but their music is more sissy than a weaner dog. Hopefully good songwriting will re-take the world and end the pain of over played emo junk. emo sucks as well...stop using the big words and breathing hard everytime you end a line, we get the point..YOUR GAY...ok. that let off some steam

[Tele Master]

to "1791"..most rock is only 3 chords.....

[Hammurabi]

to "1791"..most rock is only 3 chords.....

3-5, preferably plus a s!load of notes in the solo.

[Homebrew1709]

to answer the question...i think its better that we do not speculate...

[PonyOne]

well if anyone figueres out what the future of music is please let me know so i can promptly start a band in that style and profit off it :D

and just some food for thought... if rock becomes the mainstream again, will it not then be "pop?" because the term "pop" comes from "popular."

Plus, think back to the 80's... when tasteless groupie masses "listened" to bands and performers people here hold in high regard. There were guys in the 80's who were bitching about how the days of 70's arena rock were over. and in the 70's, people were bitching about how the awesome "ecperimental" days of the 60's were gone. And in the 60's, people were bitching about how rock wasn't as "tough" and didn't have the same vibe as it did in the 50's. And in the 50's, people were bitching that it wasn't jazz or swing!

i hate the current crop of pop garbage that gets pushed through the airwaves like meat through a grinder nowadays, though. Lindsay Lohan is eye candy, not a singer, damn it.

[Hammurabi]

Lindsay Lohan is eye candy, not a singer, damn it.

I wouldn't mind her music so much if she actually sang it instead of lsing.

[PonyOne]

it's not my cup of tea and i have no desire to listen to it, whether it's her singing or someone else, whether they're her lyrics or someone else's. she can appear in anyone's video and i'm cool with it just keep her away from the microphones.

Thats actually the sound im trying to find: emo rap

Maybe thats the music industrys long term strategy to get a fresh sound; getting bands to rebel against them and then sign those bands

[Azrael]

I guess the future of music is what WE make of it. ;)

[chucklivesoninmyheart]

Well besides the obvious computerized pre-packaged sugar coated mainstream ultra crap that will inevitably spew forth for years to come,Death and Black metal will combine jazz/prog/epic sounds with exellent craft and production.I also think the gothenburg sound will have a revival with refreshing talent.What the hell do I know!?

[Kevin Taylor]

The Partridge Family will be back into style.....

http://s93744050.onlinehome.us/partridge.jpg

and Greg Brady will have the newest hit song on the charts:

http://s93744050.onlinehome.us/johnny.jpg
"Clowns never laughed before
Beanstalks never grew..."

http://s93744050.onlinehome.us/donny.jpg
... and Donny Osmond will make a comeback....

[Akira]

Lmao.

I think classic rock wil make some sort of comeback, but who knows?

[Kutzki]

I guess the future of music is what WE make of it. ;)

Azrael has a sick point it really is up to us to make the music of tomorow

what i was just sayin is there was a time were there was bands that everyone liked and yes pop may stand for popular but who the hell listens to britney spears ok
so i dono how they are defining popular... so ya its up to us to make musics future and we just gotta make sure our music actually rocks this time lets do it right
peace

I wouldn't be surprised if disco came back. Modified, of course. I'm surprised I haven't heard a techno 'staying alive' yet.

Link Park uses techno, but not so much

[Lordathestrings]

... I'm surprised I haven't heard a techno 'staying alive' yet.You sick, sick man! :p

[HDJ]

I agree with that. It's about time for disco to rear it's ugly head again. Music popularity goes in circles, and it's disco's turn to come back...

I also think that guitar solo's will be back "in style" soon. I hope so, that's one thing I miss about the 80's.

The future of music has heavy ties with banana hammocks and bondage equipment!

[moody_fa_loonie]

its been there done that....david bowie in particular or ziggystardust or whatever the hell he calls himself lol

[ranma187]

what about all that power, neo-classical, prog and folk metal thats been going on in europe all these years?

wow i actually can buy sonata arctica and nightwish cds in the local cd store now... no more ordering those cd's and waiting for weeks. i'm serious a lot of those bands are beginning to make a north american impact. go out right now and buy a cd called withering heights: far from the madding crowd. Of course you've never heard of it but that is seriously the best metal album i have ever heard since all the bands started going crappy around 1995.

since 1995 i've been dissapointed by korn cause they brang out rap metal. i was dissapointed at mansons new stuff cause he bought his own hype. metallica went country and then tried to sound like nu-metal. bands like slipknot, papa roach etc came out and all they could do is strum extremely distorted power chords and whine about how ****ed up life is. even tool went too hippy! and i don't know what billy corgan was smoking when he formed zwan... i mean he must of been smoking some really potent stuff to have written that crap.

i was so unmoved by all this new popular music. and that rebellious music was now popular and worse all these wannabe rebellion puppets started becomming popular. i almost gave up on music and guitar playing cause i was so dissapointed.... until my friend introduced me to european metal.. and i becamed revolutionised as a musician.

i swear that stuff is the future of music!

[moody_fa_loonie]

nicely done.....nice point u made about that band....i think gonna take a look around for their album and if i dont like em. "they call me mr.tibbs" is what im gonna do lol

[ranma187]

btw lordofdastrings: what type of metal do you not like? there is so many bands out there that people call metal and they all suck!

and what kind of music do you like the most? whats your style of guitar?
oh and i plan to go guitar shopping in calgary so do you know any good guitar stores?

[rockonn91]

spell ZEPPELIN correctly

[Axl_Rose]

Since its my birthday... can I do this... *throws tv out guitartricks hotel room window* :)

[guitarkim5588]

Hahaha, the darkness makes me laugh. It takes a VERY comfortable guy to be able to do what that lead singer does.

[1791]

i wanna nother band like acdc to get big. that would be so awsome.

theres a new band out called silvertide. i dont know how the rest of there
songs sound like but the one they have out now (ant comein home) sounds
alot like acdc. to me they sound like acdc meets skynyrd.
:)

[Hamberg]

spell ZEPPELIN correctly
ok, zeplin

[Lordathestrings]

oooh i made a typo. the band is called wuthering heights not withering :o LOL Actually, I liked it better your way.

... btw lordofdastrings: what type of metal do you not like? there is so many bands out there that people call metal and they all suck! ...I find that 'scooped-mids-growling-vocals-about-death-&-destruction' kinda scene gets old in a hurry. So I gotta say "All of it". Bear in mind I was around when Led Zeppelin was on the Top 40 as new releases, and Black Sabbath was considered 'seriously underground' stuff. To me, Iron Maiden sounds like Jazz with a lot of distortion. When I heard that Metallica(?) cover of "Whiskey In The Jar", I collapsed in a fit of giggles. :rolleyes:

... and what kind of music do you like the most? ...I like music where the lyrics tell a story, and the music serves to help tell the tale. Obviously, it helps if I like the story. I think one of the best examples of that would be a song off the Triumph limited-release "Best Of" vinyl LP. I don't have the LP anymore (long story), and I can't remember the title, but it was a minstrel's lament about how the city was crowding out people's ability to appreciate good music. It's arranged in three parts that showcase Rik Emmett's amazing skills in different styles, ranging from nylon-string classical, through shred, to balls-out rock.

I can't claim to play it well, but I love good Blues. Not where some string-slinger is showing off - I crave the pure, soul-rending expressiveness of an artist who knows as much about what not to play as what he can play. I think SRV was just starting to settle into a good thing at the time of his death. The good stuff was yet to come, and we didn't get to hear it. I recently bought "True Stories" by Jimmy Thackery & The Drivers, and I like it.

... whats your style of guitar?...I liked my black 1984 Yamaha SBG1000 so much (see next to my name above), that two years ago, I bought another one just like it. My first one has a DiMarzio Dual Sound at the bridge and a DiMarzio SCHB at the neck. Strung with D'Addario EJ-21's for solid tone. My second SBG has a DiMarzio Tone Zone at the bridge and a DiMarzio PAF Pro at the neck. Strung with D'Addario EXL-110's so's I can get slinky with it. I also have a pair of Washburn Stage Series; one original hard-tail, and a re-issue with a Floyd Rose. And a bunch of other stuff.

... oh and i plan to go guitar shopping in calgary so do you know any good guitar stores?Two that I can recommend from personal experience.

Guitarworks: 602 - 16th Avenue NW (at the corner of 5th Street W). 1-403-284-2866 ask for Bryce.

Long & McQuade: 105 - 58th Avenue SW (near the C-train tracks) 1-403-244-5555.

If you can't get what you want at either of these places, you don't really need it!

[Dr_simon]

Ever get into Motrohead ?

I think they are still one of my favorite bands.

[Lordathestrings]

Ever get into Motrohead ? ...Motorhead? uhh.. no. I recall seeing some of their album covers in the stores and thinking "same old, same old". None of my buds introduced me to any of their stuff either, so they never got onto my 'playlist'.

At the time, I was in a serious Grand Funk withdrawal. I mean, my band Railroad was built on their foundation, y'know? I was thinkin' Led Zepplin was soundin' kinda prissy. Disco was starting to rear it's ugly, ughggly head, and after Mark Farner, there just weren't any more heroes. AAaaaaaarrrrrrggghhhh!




... Recommendations?

ok, zeplinHAHAHHAAhahahhaaaaa!
