      "Heart" definitely came first to my mind but you nailed it also with "talent." I am 48 now and the music back in the day always took me to another place. I am so glad I grew up back then with all this treasure of music. It still is as fresh to me now as back then and we are talking 37 years ago. If young kids were smart they should get back on this train and cash in because the demand is out there.

    Billy Gibbons played himself in the TV series "Bones", and he had a line that describes his entire attitude. "I have cars, I have guitars, and I have guns... Treat my daughter right, and all you'll ever see are the cars and the guitars."
    ....They don't call him the "Texas Homewrecker/Heartbreaker for nothing!!"

    Being a teenager in the 1970s we had a steady diet of ZZ Top, heart, Led Zeppelin, ac dc, Black Sabbath, rush, ELO, and so many others. We were blessed to be able to hear such music-no auto tune, it just is what it is. Never been to your channel but when you were speaking to maybe your mom took me back where we would leave school in my friends car, smoke weed and drive around with our wipers on for no reason, waving and honking at every stranger we saw. ZZ Top was playing on the 8 track during many of those smoky car trips! Because you gave me a great memory, I’m hitting subscribe. This put a little sweetness into a very bland day.

    Younger folks have a hard time understanding just how much reverence musicians in the day were given. They were true idols. The whole young culture at the time were completely focused on them for their entertainment (no computers, only 4 channels of tv, movies were for dating). We became emotionally attached to our idols. This is WHY you and the other respond crowd of young people have become so popular. We older fans get the thrill again seeing you enjoy the enormous talent of the very best era in modern music. If you were young at those magical times you would likely be learning to play an instrument seriously. Bands and groups were everywhere. In essence; To be a musician in a group was the number one pinnacle lifestyle choice. There were great players and artists in every region of the country. I saw ZZ Top 3 times live. They were one of the tightest groups I ever saw live.

      I was just into the music. If you could put out the highest quality product, which ZZ Top did, you sold tickets,
      but mostly, I wanted to listen to the music. We weren't all the same. I understand your point about the music
      appreciation today, it is different. Mostly because modern pop music is rank. People nowadays can't listen with
      intensity to music because it would bore them to pieces. All music nowadays is background music. For intense listening,
      you need original content, and musicianship. Hip Hop is 40 years old, and is listened to by grampa and gramma.
      It's what people are raised on, but that doesn't mean it's any good.

ZZ Top, Van Halen, Blue Oyster Cult, Iron Maiden...most teeenage boys lived in their parents garage building muscle cars and hung out with buddies wearing out tapes in the cassette player and movies in the VCR like "Two Lane Blacktop", "Vanishing Point", Hollywood Knights", "Repo Man" and "Heavy Metal". Your social network were you town buddies and parties. If you didn't like your job, you could quit, go down the street and have another one by the end of the day. It was just a more genuine time overall. Thanks for the wayback machine.

  • @saturnracer156
    @saturnracer156 4 роки тому +13

    IMHO the difference between music "back in the day", I"m talking 70s and 80s mostly, and today is heart and feeling. With the evolution of technology, people have actually over-analyzed music and rhythm. Somebody had a brilliant idea, that with a computer, they could make every beat land perfectly on time, therefore the music would be "perfect".
    The problem with that is that music should be able to breathe. It becomes too mechanical when it's perfect. We are human. The time, pace and rhythm drifting a couple of milliseconds either way gives the music life. It's almost undetectable, but it's there and it changes the feeling.
    Also nowadays, everything has to fit into a formula or the industry won't buy it. If it doesn't check all of the boxes and sound like everything else, the music companies won't sign them, and the radio stations won't play them.
    There are several young, up and coming bands that have figured out the flaw in the current system. A revolution is coming, and good music is coming back. You just have to be willing to explore and listen.

      The Struts are great too. I was 13 in 1970. What made the music so incredible...talent and actually learning the craft instead of computer generated crap. I have very eclectic taste and there are only a handful of bands/singer songwriters that I have a hard time tolerating. I don't relate to Rap at all. Though there is an Eminem song I like. I still check out newer bands hoping to find something good. Tame Impala is new to me and I love it! Greta Van Fleet and The Struts. I've seen The Struts twice. Always hoping great rock will return!!

    His guitar playing is extraordinary. That’s for sure. His guitar tone is second to none. The album this is off of is excellent from start to finish. Even better are their albums from the 70s, especially Tres Hombres. The song Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers is my favorite song of theirs. It’s hard rock bordering on metal from way back in the early 70s.

But yea, what's really wrong with this world atm are all these so called "artists" that are nothing but "vocalists" at best but almost never, or even never, write their own works. E.G. : Taylor Swift or Britney Spears types. Always stuff written by other artists and recorded by studio musicians and then they just go in and sing the melody as written by that other person or set of people.... no real authentic originality. Then it gets corrected, time aligned, and pitch shifted to hell and back. And if it's rap they go into melodyne and gets warped to hell because they can't even sing... yea, that's what's wrong with today's music.

      Another fact about Gotsa Get Paid is that Billy Gibbons took DJ DMD's 1989 rap hit "25 Lighters," and recast it as a heavy blues rock tune. One of the rare times that Billy didn't record his own purely original song.
