One of my little hobbies. I used to do gigs. Mainly just to goof around with these days. I lost all my chops years ago, but I still have fun jamming every now and again, even though I suck. hahaha I remember a few of the bass/guitar solo's I came up with, I just lost my speed so badly I can't even dream of playing them anymore.

Michael Anthony FTW. The first video was really good but the guy is playing on a street corner for petes sake. Cool trumps technical skills almost always.

Meh. I've been playing for twenty years or so. If the point of this is to prove guys that play with "feeling" are somehow inferior to technically savy players then so be it. I can appreciate both equally.

Well we can't forget the luck factor. There are plenty of pro musicians out there with hardly any talent, but they got lucky in getting with the right group at the right time, and playing for the right person at the right time.

This is true but I would not diminish the talent of Mike Anthony because he played what some would say is a sloppy solo. There is also the "listen with your eyes factor", which is what your first video lacked.

Music is more often than not about both the music and showmanship. Even when you buy music it's packaged in a way to catch your eye. How many artists sell their music in a plain paper bag? SRV had some serious chops but he was also a showman. From the way he dressed on stage to playing behind his back. Same with Hendrix. Paul Gilbert comes to mind with his picks on a drill shtick. Of the two videos you first posted, the Van Hagar solo stands out to me because you have this nut on a stage running around with a Jack Daniels bottle shaped bass having fun. If I were to listen to both solos with my eyes closed, the other guys solo would stand out. |

i completely agree, i didn't pick up drums as a kid because i wante dot be technically inclined.. i picked it up because i felt it. it moved me emotionally, it gave me an outlet and a rush..and i still, to this day..think going to school..was a huge waste of time lol

+1 for luck. look at the metal scene. almost always every member of the band is exquisitely talented and can play some very technical stuff (more often than not, vocalist and lyricist excluded), but nearly nobody wants to hear it. it ultimately depends on what the vast majority want to hear/ what the machine wants you to hear. apparently it's ke$ha

I agree, music is about more than just the show.
But then again, isn't that what a gig is - a show? If it were just about the sound waves, why do professional musicians (pick your genre) spend the majority of their time on buses travelling around from town to town on tour playing in front large groups of people? Engaging multiple modalities can make any experience richer, IMHO. Although, I imagine a sloppy fat dude spilling his beer all over my wife would have a negative impact on my listening experience.....
