i don't really get what you're getting at. i guess i'll explain my thoughts in starting this thread 1978: epic backing band. call and response funk mania. red. cocaine and grass. loads of fun. stupid and knows it; does not bother trying to communicate some sort of message 2013: empty stage, invisible DJ, one piano loop throughout. call with no response. blue. xanax and pharma trash like ambien. twattish and awkward. stupid and doesn't know it; delivers hypocritical rant |

Ah, ok. Got it, I reacted quite hastily. My first video is playbacked, no band there to even pretend, this type of unknowlingly stupid Schlager was popular back then. And I thought of the Goat thing when I saw that George Clinton video (not nearly as epic, but it's live, raw, energetic, a bit crazy), so that aspect of live music is still alive, only much less massive. Anyway, my point was that you can't put a year on crap music, I hope at least that 2013 isn't represented by Kanye West. |

lip syncing was shit since day one, but now it's much more common + more accepted. i just found the wild crazy party vs. the empty stage really, i dunno, symbolic. and shit. |

What do you think of Antony and the Johnsons? |

never heard of them, so no opinion (yet). |

He's got a really distinctive voice and sings really emotive songs but he loves lip syncing, well watching people lip synching. It's a separate thing to the pop stars lip synching, it's more of a 'performance art'. I don't know if you remember that Darksided nut job on wife swap but there's someone who lip syncs that really well |

i'm not saying it's brainless or that any idiot could lip sync and satisfy a stadium. however, if you can hop and jump around and satisfy people while actually singing, then you're about 10x as talented, as well as more honest (unless you're billed as a famous... lip syncist?). it's all a tangent to what i originally posted, about -- neither are lip syncing. more, just.... there's no fun, no spontaneity to west's bit while funkadelic has it in spades. lip sync is just one way to suck the fun an spontaneity out of a performance. |

i guess my point is that kanye west needs a backing band and a crack habit if he ever wants my appreciation. |

I think it's funny that you are attempting to covertly express your approval of cocaine and marijuana as fun party treats while also voicing your disapproval of pharmaceutical-grade drugs as garbage all under the guise of a "music then vs. now" thread. Just as music grows and evolves so to do the drugs a culture chooses to enjoy on the weekends. You aren't even a child of the 70's and yet your drug use has stagnated in that decade...it's high time you get off your drug high horse and go doctor shopping for some legitimate prescription highs. |

I don't think I've seen a band play that type of music well with a live band apart from James Brown, he was old when I saw him but he still had it. |

at the risk of seeming a twat -- how about phish? there are plenty of good jam bands if you dig. |

Come on guys, be nice. Epic Mega Trax doesn't post here often and when he does I find his threads/posts extremely interesting and informative. This one made me laugh, it made me cry and I learned a little more about myself. What do YOUR threads do? |

Let's all get all squanged up on typical antipsychotics and sit around drooling. Old school, maaaaan. |

epic makes a good point and is one of the few members I would let play the boy role if we did a sex. |
