Dont you find technically minded music flat and empty? Dont you feel you have the capacity to enjoy more than just a string of notes? Can you seriously enjoy totally artless/ conceptless/ pointless music?
I like SOME technical stuff, but it's all stuff like Zappa.. I mean, we've got the intellect to add depth to our music, to make it more than sound... yet alot of us are stuck in the rutt of making riffs, and that's it...
Take Tool for example.. thier music videos... I love what they've done, and it certainly makes for intresting veiwing/ listening...
Nirvana, Tool, Peter Gabriel, Can, Radiohead, Beastie Boys etc etc are examples of making music more than sound, it's really enjoyable, and can be quite thought provoking/ funny/ sad...
It's certainly a lot less of an insult to the intelligence than for example kid rock's, def lepard's videos...
I dont know maybe it's just me..
