Thanks, dude. :P Exactly.


I love how dude (erroneously) just ASSUMED I was the typical guitar asshat talking about technicality. I could give a SHIT about technicality. I love Johnny Cash, who has about zero technical ability.

Dave and i were just having this argument over the phone, by the way he sides with you. But anyway what I was trying to get through to him is that when you are 19, under contract and everyone is telling you to do something because you are under contract, well what would you do?

People tend to forget, at one point in every bands career they usually end with a track running in the back while they are out on stage acting like they are playing. Ozzy has done this, Iron maiden has done this and countless other bands over the past 30 or 40 years that music has been seen on TV. Ashley just got caught, didnt know what to do because she is 19 and embarrased, I probaly wouldnt have hoe downed, but I would have been embarrassed as hell.

Bullshit.

Ashlee Simpson, pathetic excuses aside, I'm almost certain ROUTINELY lip synced. She fucking sucks, and her music is the equivalent of a Big mac. You can call a Big Mac valid all you want, but when you're kicking the bucket from a heart attack, and I'm going strong from Momma's Home Cookin', well, then you'll know there's such a thing as "quality."

My favorite incident occured when listening to the local "metal radio station".

They had just played Godsmack, (sorry, I don't know the song name...it's the one that goes, "I'm not the one who's so far away, when I feel the snakebite enter my veins")

THEN, they played Type O Negative, Everything Dies.

Next thing you know, a kid calls up the station, and proceeds to bash Type O Negative, saying that THEY had ripped off Godsmack!! Not only that, but the kid went on to say how you could tell that Peter Steele (of Type O) was clearly using fx on his voice to make it sound so low, whereas the singer for Godsmack was using his real low (huh?!) voice on that song!

Oh, another one--

This teenage girl said she liked the ORIGINAL Guns n' Roses version of Knockin' on Heaven's Door best, it was WAY better than that other band's version who was ripping them off....


AND,

whenever I play some guitars in my local guitar store, everyone says, "You must love Yngwie right?" Uhhh.... just because I like to play fast doesn't mean I love Yngwie! I love Paul Gilbert and David Gilmour, Yngwie not as much.

OOps...maybe a posted in the wrong thread. My mistake. I was kind of jumping from thread to thread.

Anyhow, hope the story was interesting!

Yeah, but Iron Maiden and Ozzy's band wrote all their own music, lyrics, etc, performed it all on their records and could do it all on the show. Ozzy also never could remember the lyrics, and now reads from a teleprompter

I can also think of a bunch of bands who have never done it, Venom and Black Flag for example.

Here's a question to pose:
If she knew she was gonna be lip syncing, why was her mic even ON if we werent supposed to hear it? Does she also not know her own songs well enough that even after hearing the whole band play the intro, she starts to sing the wrong song?

Wait wait wait, hold on, ozzy uses songwriters.

Once I heard someone say Zakk Wylde was a good songwriter. Many laughs were had as the memories of 15-20 years of half-ass rubbish went through my head.

He does now. But back in his heyday, randy and bob daisley wrote all the music and lyrics. Then jake and bob. Then, etc. Till the late 90s. Which is when he about started sucking
