gotta mention ZZ Top!

Haha thats great...

aw man I hadn't even heard.... the man with the golden thumb.Nice links btw russel.

Free Bird runs 12 minutes I think....

Well have you seen the Wii?? 50 bucks a game to do jumping jacks or pretend to open soda cans and such mindless dribble that you could easily do for real, except nobody wants to becuase I mean whats fun about jumping in place and opening a can you cant even drink out of. And playstation had that awful game you had to pay 45 dollars for to be able to stand in front of the game and see yourself on screen, and what did u get to do?? dance around with the floaty bubbles and poke stuff....
Its amazing how if you put something average intoa  video game kids think its fun lol
OH! and by the way there IS a game where for one of the bonus rounds you have to pick a virtual nose.... ahh the modern age of electronics. Maybe some kid can make a career out of that haha

i know just enough music to play it wrong lol

ac/dc's good for starting, try back in black ...
um let's see level by the raconteurs, .45 by shinedown, come as you are by nirvana, sweet home alabama's pretty simple (thats lynyrd skynyrd)...
anyway hope that helps some

Guitar hero's fun for about 30 minutes... then becomes pointless and repetitive. That said, I'm glad Zeppellin's not doing one. Not really surprised at aerosmith, but slash kind of dissapointed me

Well I think its obvious from some of my other posts what I think about image and music...
I do think that the visual aspect, (videos, album art, etc.), can be a cool way for artists to connect more with fans,  express themselves. ZZ top's always been over the top, The WHite stripes were color cordinated, even little things like Johnny Cash wearing black or slash's top hat, can all add to the experience. The problem is when success is BASED on image instead of sound.
Hopefully the new will wear off the whole music video fad and artists will have to again step up the music to sell. Right now people are still wowed by visuals, living in the age we do (look how many crappy movies make it just because of the special effects scenes with no plot and terrible scripts), but when maybe when its old hat consumers will reqire quality again.

Well that depends on what exactly you would call 'Old Country Music'. Country's a term penned to wide range of styles than its given credit for,  and in any given year there were good and terrible artists on both ends of the spectrum. The great thing about country to me is the different styles that you find within it, the melding of old and new sounds. Hank Williams learned to play from a blues man, Bob Wills used swing with his country, and in texas you find the latin licks and irish drinking songs melding into western ballads, the bakersfield sound in CA with its electric hot licks, the bluegrassy roy acuff classics, to eddy arnolds orchestras; its not melding styles thats ruining country music, its the lack of musical talent.
  Guys like Garth, love em or hate em, DID at least make thier way because of thier music. Even if they did front a movement within country from time to time, they didn't make or break the genre.  You can blame this new image driven mainstream crap on the MTV, (yes they messed witht he country too. CMT is the powerhouse in the country music industry and is owned by the MTV), more than any single artists. Thier front men though are guys like Billy Ray or these other one hit wonder pretty boys stinkin up the airwaves. Again I had to jump on my soapbox, which is compromising sound for marketable image.
