Seemed more like calling a spade a spade - blunt maybe, but not particularly rude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prosebass Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Are we not missing the point of debate here ? If you only give an opinion on things you like we would all turn out to be back-slappin sicophants. I see no problem with dissing something if it doesn't float your boat. In the thread on Hootenany there were some rather derogatory remarks about 'the black guy' and not wishing to mention him by his 'silly name' but thats just opinion , not one that I can comprehend but I didn't have a go at the poster for expressing it. I think Dizzy is superb and has been a breath of fresh air especially with his collaborations. Personally I think the clips of Carl Hodgkinson were pretty lame and he comes across as a frustrated lead guitarist and it looks like he is still at it..... But his fans like him obviously , which is all that matters I suppose, I would rather poke pins in my eyes..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Academy Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 I bought the album 8th Street Nites back in 1974. Their music was 'out there' to say the least. That particular track absolutely blew me away, though. It was a 'How the hell is he doing that?' moment, way before the Wootens and Manrings, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreeneKing Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 In my world there's considerable difference between saying that you don't like something or that it doesn't float your boat and labeling it lame The interweb however is a flawed medium for expressing oneself.

Bikenbass Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 (edited) Well I enjoyed it, great playing and lifted my spirits this afternoon. Thanks for posting the clips guys. Horses for courses.... I found the Dizee track unbearable, but then I find all that genre unfathomable carp, don't like having someone shout their opinions at me disguised as music. And before any self righteous zealot screams racist, John Cooper Clarke was doing the same thing in the late 70's and that was 'king awful too.

Hutton Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 You see, I just don't get it when someone posts in a dergotary fashion to criticise something that someone else enjoys. If you don't like something, and you want to express your opinion, just say it's something that doesn't do it for you. Or better still say nothing at all. To incite fans of something by using language which is obviously geared to inflame said fans is inviting argument and heated response. Of course, that may be the intention of the post.
