Good Heaven's! What has Music come to? Thrash Metal with 13 year olds in the Bands?

What happened to Rachmaninoff? Yes, I am a music Snob. I admit it.

Mother with Opera, Dad with Sax. Me with...sigh, Rachmaninoff. I will sink as low as Vangeles, however.

Now Thrash Metal Bands with even an 8 year old for their Drummer? California's Bay Area is rocking and screaming, if you can even call it that. Music?

You can't hum it, you only are jarred by it, yet the Youngster's are making a name for themselves. Unbelievable! Bands with singers and players from the age of 8 through the Baby Boomers.

Band names like, "Apothesary" with 14 and 15 year olds and even on Face Book, Twitter, etc. What is the World coming to! Big money in their future. What happened to good taste?

In my humble opinion...... it is the parents who influence the children as far as the music is concerned. I for one am a firm believer in that philosophy. I grew up listening to classical, jazz, broadway, and later branched out into reggae, pop, new age jazz, blues, yet continuing to listen to what I was exposed to initially.It is the parents to blame who listen to noise and pass it down to their children.

The other thing which made these youngster play and pursue what they you an impression of is that they have been neglected by their parents and what they are expressing is anger for being ignored. Yes, what they play is their way of expressing anger. Music as we know it is for the soul and to calm the nerves and to charge us emotionally it is not something you pursue to get negativity from inside you.

This is all my own impression so it is not necessary that you subscrible to my way of thinking. Here are some of the most beautiful pieces of music that I came across on you tube and I sincerely hope you will enjoy the beauty of how they were rendered by each artist.

1) There has always been "poplular" music. 2) The industrialization of all things--including music--has moved popular music into the money-making category. We know about classical music because rich people paid to support and publicize it because doing so made them look good (educated, you know, that sort of thing.) But Emil Berliner's improvement on Edison's device made music profitably enabling others to have music reproduced in home without the skilled professional being present.

No longer did the wealthy minority control what music was popularized for history--corporations now do that. 3) Classical music still exists (for good or ill), and I once attended a classical music concert of the modern stuff a friend told me later (he even knew what performance I was talking about) was NOT the sort of thing to send us teen rubes to go endure. However, along with the perseverance of classical music are the offshoots, from progressive rock (Renaissance and ELP both toured with full orchestras) to new age music of piano only or flute only or piano and violin only, etc. 4) Meanwhile, pop music has also found outlets and diversification: those who might have reveled in martial music now can listen to thrash metal and get the same conquest thrill.

Back with the first heavy metal band, Led Zeppelin, blues were a huge influence. Now one can't discern any such influence. Punk is, essentialy, the quintessence of volksmusik, directly a result of a London music store telling people to buy a guitar, learn these three chords, and form a band.

It was their answer to Disco, and it won. We still think we won that Revolutionary War, tho, don't we? .

The beautiful thing about music is that it truly is a democratic medium. I feel that there is "music" and I will define what O mean by the term, to fit every level of ear. For those with little personal musical talent, there is rock, pop and country Someone who graduates Julliard listens to piano differently than an 8 year old.

The fan with an 11 th grade education may consider Jerry Lee Lewis a really good piano player. This will be laughable to the one who knows and appreciates the genius of the teenager Aimi Kobayashi who at 13 was invited to play with the Moscow Professional Classical Orchestra. Go to You Tube and type in Aimi and see what you get.

A country music fan will tell you...Little Jimmy Dickens can pay tha gee-tarr real good like! If this country fan knew about Somkin Joe Robinson from Australia, they wouldn't even recognize 64th notes on a guitar. Music is so loosely defined that two monkeys beating on a log with sticks can be said to be making a sort of music and much of the crap that passes for music is just a note or two about the monkeys.So, I say, let the kiddos do they thang n have some fun: maybe they can pay for a new bike or get Mom something nice.

Whatever the musical genera, there will be practitioners who are hard to ignore. I never liked Beyonce (sp) or Miriah but when I heard Charice, from the Philippines, sing their songs I immediately liked music I considered average, Of course, most of it is the amazing voice of the next Celine Dion = Charice Pempengo! Google her for an astounding experience in a genuinely singular voice and her, with stage presence is so vast,…it impressed David Foster; it really impressed him.

This is like doing mathematicsd and having Albert Onestone walk by and stop, take a look and say Das ist sehr intressant. Compliments don’t get any bigger than that! Lol Sources: rednecksputter, fill-oss-a-fur, inadequate education, read some, been places.

Sergei Rachmaninoff died in 1943. Sergei Vasilievich Rachmaninoff (Russian:? , Sergej Vasil’evi?

Rahmaninov, 1 April 1873 O.S. 20 March – 28 March 1943) was a Russian-American composer,pianist, and conductor. He was one of the finest pianists of his day and, as a composer, very nearly the last great representative of Russian late Romanticism in classical music. Early influences ofTchaikovsky, Rimsky-Korsakov and other Russian composers gave way to a thoroughly personal idiom which included a pronounced lyricism, expressive breadth, structural ingenuity and a tonal palette of rich, distinctive orchestral colors.

The piano features prominently in Rachmaninoff's compositional output, either as a solo instrument or as part of an ensemble. He made it a point to use his own skills as a performer to explore fully the expressive possibilities of the instrument. Even in his earliest works, he revealed a sure grasp of idiomatic piano writing and a striking gift for melody.En.wikipedia.Org/wiki/Sergei_Rachmaninoff Thrash Metal is a modern musical genre.

Thrash metal is a subgenre of heavy metal that is characterized by its fast tempo and aggression. Thrash metal songs typically use fast, percussive and low-register guitar riffs, overlaid withshredding-style lead work. Thrash metal lyrics often deal with social issues using direct and denunciatory language, an approach which partially overlaps with the hardcore genre.

The "Big Four" bands of thrash metal are Anthrax, Megadeth, Metallica, and Slayer, who simultaneously created and popularized the genre in the early 1980s. The origins of thrash metal are generally traced to the late 1970s and early 1980s, when a number of bands began incorporating the sound of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, creating a new genre and developing into a separate movement from punk rock and hardcore. This genre is more aggressive compared to its relative, speed metal, and can be seen in part to be a reaction to the lighter, more widely acceptable sounds and themes of glam metal.En.wikipedia.

Org/wiki/Thrash_metal Musical styles come and go. Generally, when a new style of music appears, it will gain the opprobrium of the older generation. For example, when the waltz became popular, it provoked cries of outrage, primarily because the dancers held their bodies close together.

"Shocking many when it was first introduced, the waltz became fashionable in Vienna around the 1780s, spreading to many other countries in the years to follow. It became fashionable in Britain during the Regency period, though the entry in the Oxford English Dictionary shows that it was considered "riotous and indecent" as late as 1825." en.wikipedia. Org/wiki/Waltz Somehow the world managed to survive the waltz.

In the 1920s, the young people took to jazz, thereby alarming their elders."Prohibition in the United States (from 1920 to 1933) banned the sale of alcoholic drinks, resulting in illicit speakeasies becoming lively venues of the "Jazz Age", an era when popular music included current dance songs, novelty songs, and show tunes. Jazz started to get a reputation as being immoral and many members of the older generations saw it as threatening the old values in culture and promoting the new decadent values of the Roaring 20s. " In the 1950s, Rock and Roll was widely condemned for any number of reasons--some sexual and some racial.En.wikipedia.Org/wiki/Rock_and_roll It seems like each generation has its own weird music, which delights its members and infuriates their elders.

Let them have their fun. We did when we were young. Remember, "This too shall pass!

1 Say, Dee, I don't mind Vangelis music, he has some very good meditation sections I've used, and his later works are rather intriguing, like 1492 movie music. I suppose it's just as well Rach. Isn't around now, if that's any consolation.As for the 8, 14 and 15-yr olds, who knows, if they have a gift at drums or whatever, well put them in a soundproof room and let them "evolve" hehe.

Seriously, in some ways I do regret how childhood is disappearing more and more and being replaced by the pursuit of 'being first' and 'smart' at the expense of just being a happy, loving child. Where indeed has that image gone now?

Does anybody know where I can get music by one f these bands.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
