good music on youtube - Page 120

I have a general music question that I will put here. It relates to live music.

Last night I went out to meet some friends in a local tavern, there was a band of some local musicians that my musician friends thought were good. The music was so loud it I found it painful, I couldn't even hear what they were playing even though they were familiar covers of Zeppelin, the Stones, and so on. People I was with said it was loud but not uncomfortable, there were even people sitting about ten feet away from them. I was in another room (the place had an L shaped layout, the band was in the banquet room part of the L) and it was still so loud I couldn't hear any conversation, but it wasn't painful at least.

It was staring at the sun kind of pain. Why the fuck is the music so fucking loud? Do people think if they are louder they are better? Are they deaf as posts? Have they thought of using a decibel meter to set the volume at a comfortable level, like we do with thermostats for heat?

It's not because I'm getting old. I hated too loud music even when I was young.

Relatively, yes. I never go see live music without earplugs.

Spoken like a true old man.

I'll get off your lawn, now.

There are different louds. Clean Loud is good. Fuzzy Loud is ok, sometimes. Just Plain Loud, not so much. A lot of, ahem, 'music' just doesn't come across well when played loudly.

We inherited these kick ass speakers when FIL passed. And they sound best when the music is loud. And the music they sound best playing is classical.

Lately, I've been digging out his Also Sprach Zarathustra CD (which you probably remember from the movie 2001) and cranking that fucker right up. The speakers are so clean. It starts off silent, and a low deep rumble rises slowly in the background. You don't really notice that rumble unless you have the volume way up there. And then the horn comes in, real clean. And then the whole orchestra. BA-DUM! And the paint starts falling off the ceiling, but it's just amazing. And then it gets quiet again and repeats.

The kids loved it the first couple times I played that. I may need to ease off on the frequency so I don't ruin it.

ELVIS!! Where's Elvis?! I hear the music! I know he's here! Somewhere! Where's ELVIIIIIIIS!?!

I just listened to that for like the thousandth time. That first crescendo still gives me chills.

Awesome piece of music.

I wear earplugs to all concerts too

I wear eyepatches when I go to the art museum.

No, seriously, I can't stand 'loud' either. Noise in general can drive me bonkers. Something as silly as the stupid little mutt next door who sounds like a dying calf in a hailstorm when she barks, which is now all the time as they hook her up outside and I can't even come home without hearing the yappity yap yap howl noise. And I generally like critters.

I've always heard that many bands play so loud because they're not very good and they imagine it masks their imperfections. That's generally been my experience too.

I got a kick out of it and sent the link to my wife and kids. Strange can be good as long as it's not repulsive strange.

I now regret sending the link to my wife and kids. My son watched it too many times and is now singing it back to me all the time.

Whenever any of us puts something in the microwave he says "Don't use the microwave. Use the oven instead."

I've created a monster.

'Repulsive' is subjective.

This kid is beyond awesome. Seven or eight years old. The prelim is all in Norwegian, so apols for that. She starts singing around 1.14.

In another round she tackled Billie Holiday

Clodfobble · 04-22-2015, 06:02 PM

The song is called "Fuk Bread." I've been singing it around the house for days.

glatt · 04-22-2015, 08:45 PM

Gravdigr · 04-23-2015, 03:57 PM

Won't that burn my penis?

BigV · 04-23-2015, 05:08 PM
