Andrew Keen is an author, I hate his views. His book "The Cult Of The Amateur" infuriates me to a irate rage. In his book he bashes amateur musicians amongst many others. Today, as I happily checked out some new songs to learn, I was disturbed to find that he actually persuaded me into agreeing with him. Maybe he was right. Maybe one of these guys should NEVVERRRR EEVERRR TOUCH A GUITAR AGAIN. If he does, I hope his computer breaks and he won't be able to post his vid.
wOW!!!! So much HaTe..I know..don't lose faith in me yet guys...watch these two guitar covers, and compare the quality. One, I consider art. The other, well it's horrible trash. Sadly youtube is flooooooded with this type of crap. But maybe i'm being to harsh. What do you guys think?
I'm so sorry you had to watch the second one. Dios mio!!!! Why is he shirtless????
I am open minded, I understand better than most that when home it should be okay to be shirtless. Hell if your home you should be able to walk around naked. But, if you are gonna put up a video of yourself. Keep some sort of self respect.
Moving on to the music, why did he put up this video? Seriously, I don't know. Was he showing skill? Some sort of new way of playing this song? Did he even play the song!??? I'm not sure that counts as him playing the song!!!
Here we have on the first video, a unpopular bands song. Being rendered artistically. Then we have a flipping Guns & Roses song being destroyed by amateurism.
I hate to say it, sometimes its best to keep the amateurs out. This is why people hate NOOBs. That guy is a NooB. He is the definition of a NoObbbb. Noobs ruin anything for everyone every time.

"why is he shirtless" -because he thinks he's mad sexy!
ReplyDeleteHehe
ReplyDeleteok soooo variety of things to say
ReplyDeletefirst off creed is no unpopular band....and it is prob one of the greatest songs ever...=)
then, i do think the second one is very bad...ummm i dont even think he is playing thats just movement its like lip singing and i have no further comments
as of the shirt....i really have no comments....!
=)
He is shirtless because he is owning some noobs, duh!
ReplyDeleteI can't even hear his guitar, just the music in the second video.
Sigh, someone else, a young teen by the looks, trying to be more popular by faking talent. Well, maybe not really faking too much, because he blatently did it badly. I have seen a lot of teens try to be more "cool" by guitar syncing, pretending to play. He just did an exceptionally bad job by not starting the video recording so we didn't see him start the music etc. And his fingering is really bad. So he only looks a fool. If he were REALLY playing, and playing badly, I would be supportive, because all people start as Noobs.
ReplyDeleteUmm that is an interesting point. I don't think we all start as Noobs. Maybe my definition is messed up."Noob", to me means: someone who is new, trying to play it off as that he is experienced.
ReplyDeleteMaybe even though he is really crappy that is just the first step in his path to success. Maybe by posting his work as he goes he will be able to look back and say "wow. I came so far." Perhaps he should just keep them on a folder on his computer but music is about personal expression. While I agree that it's bad maybe someone out there who has never heard music and who is worse than him now has the confidence to try harder, knowing that if he was confident enough to post that crap maybe they are not so hopeless themselves?
