Because response to music for most people is emotional rather than intellectual. Technical proficiency is pretty much irrelevant as a indicator of 'enjoyability'. I can admire the skills of a 'shredding' guitarist, but I'd far rather listen to someone playing simpler music, with 'feeling'. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bannedfromHandV Posted September 5, 2021 Share Posted September 5, 2021 Spent the last year looking forward to seeing a particular band live and then went to the wrong fricking stage and missed them. What a dick I am. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Fleetwood Mac are a band I have no interest in. No interest to the point I have just discovered in the last 5 minutes that Lindsey Buckingham is a man. I’d always presumed it was the woman, the one with the flouncy black lacy shawl in the little video clip they always show when referencing Fleetwood Mac. I’ll give them a swerve if ever they are a category the week I’m on Pointless. . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who you probably thought was the bloke. At least the piano player has a sensible name like Christine (she's a Brummie). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 That would make sense, if one of them is called Stevie my 1970’s view of the world would cause me to presume that was a fella, so by deduction the other one was the lady. Never presume. It’s a crazy mixed up world out there kids, and all the better for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was a true metal head in my teens. Maiden, Queensryche, Metallica, Dio, Motley Crue, Def Leppard, Ozzy. All the 80s metal bands. Saw them live. But I grew out of it by the time I turned 20. For me, metal is for teenagers and 20s people. I still respect what it is, but there is so much more interesting music out there to enjoy than the head banging shredder stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Lindsey Buckingham's guitar playing is actually very tasteful and nuanced. I enjoy me some Mac on occasion. Basically just the Rumours album. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
