RAY AGAINST THE MACHINE Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 I just look in the paper to find out who's on in the show. The last one I watched was Metallica doing stuff from death magnetic.and vv brown who was quite good. Rather than criticise , I just avoid if I don't want to watch it. At the drive in we're great on there, as was Henry Rollins , Alice on chains. Most of its not my cup of tea, but at least it's live music on the box. Quote
Woodinblack Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 I watch it occasionally if I happen to notice it is on when channel hopping, but it is not something I would deliberately put on, and if I do put it on I know my OH will take that opportunity to go to go to bed and watch something else. It is very samey and although there are some good acts there, it is a very low ratio of people I haven't heard of who are good to people I have who are rubbish. Like others have said, I tend to watch it until some motown singer of the 70s comes on to do some duet with jools then I channel hop back to see if there is a CSI on or something Quote

MB1 Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 MB1. "Ain't no doubt it's plain to see" Jimmy Nail was enjoying himself! ...That John West bloke reading his shopping list stunk! Quote
CamdenRob Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 (edited) Watched this for the first time last night. Don't know if it's usually like this, but is this really what passes for 'real' live music?.... That John something or other guy with the arty haircut writhing on the floor with emotion, whilst singing in a style that made him sound like he had a kazoo stuck in his windpipe... and what was the deal with that woman shouting random notes whilst playing air guitar, accompanied by a bloke playing a box?... utter pants...

flyfisher Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 Isn't this the problem with such an eclectic music show? It's pretty unlikely that anyone will enjoy every act and sometimes even an entire show. At least it's a live music show though instead of autotuned singing to a backing track. Quote

Rob [/quote] Have to say it was a particularly challenging show last night I always record it so I can fast forward through the stuff I'm not interested in, last night it was most of it. But every now and then I find something I really didn't expect to enjoy so it's worth the effort. Quote

I thought the guy with the beard singing over acoustic guitar was alright. Although even he had this over stylized voice everyone seems to be going for these days... kept singing in short stabs that rose in pitch as the phrase went on. Kinda like he'd just taken something hot out of the oven and was looking around for somewhere to put it before the heat burnt through his oven gloves... Quote

[/quote] +1 indeed Any show which promotes live music is a good thing Although I have to say, I used to watch it more regularly Now I watch it rather less frequently Last nights' show was probably the worst I've seen To me, the quality of the show has taken a complete nose-dive Shame, as it could be so good Quote

[/quote] Well after my first time watching and enormous sample size of five bands, I've obviously come to the only logical conclusion... We cannot improve it... there is no hope... the future is bleak... music is dead..... Quote

Skol303 Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 Later isn't [i]sooo[/i] bad...! I mean, it's still the best of the bunch on terrestrial telly. I'm not a fan of Jules' own music (big band stuff leaves me cold) and I do find some of his guests very irksome - from celeb pals like Hugh Laurie at one end of the scale [i](you've already got one glittering career, pal, stop stealing someone else's limelight)[/i] to Liam Gallagher at the other [i](grow up and stop making my skin crawl with embarassment)[/i]. [size=6]BUT...[/size] I like big butts and I cannot lie... I still enjoy watching it. It's proper 'live' music. Well, pre-recorded live music. And I like that it's often very eclectic. Good and bad, it still holds my attention and I enjoy stumbling across the occasional rare gem that I might not otherwise get to hear about. Quote

[/quote] Oh, I wouldn't recommend my own band playing on it for a start For me, it's been the type of bands they've had on there lately nothing much inspiring, and all a bit "bland" There are plenty of great musicians and bands out there, but whoever is scouting for them or selecting them may be where the problem lies You know what I'd like to see? I think they could easily have a live link-up with another, local BBC studio somewhere, and have a new bands slot.... or an unsigned acts slot somewhere in the programme perhaps the camera crew could go out to a gig, or session somewhere on location? Why not have a special edition of the programme, recorded live at one of the lesser known festivals? Difficult, what with time constraints, I know but a fresh approach to the format might give it a bit of a lift.... I do like Jools, as a presenter, and as a musician - top bloke And I'd hate to see the show disappear - but I've heard a lot of people say they think it's not as good as it once was I had an OMG moment, a few years back, when Jools had Seasick Steve on the show Never heard anything quite like it before! great stuff I suppose I'm really looking for one of those moments every now & again ?
