Jon Bon Jovi, I love your music, but how am I meant to take you seriously when you say rubbish like this? http://engt.co/g5GGYN
-
@yamanickill I dunno, there are better bands from Jersey but he's kinda right...
-
@fabsh Personally, I think that the progression to digital media was gonna happen anyway. Can't necessarily blame Jobs...
-
@jpope Sure, but why not? He's an ass. I'm with Jon.
-
@fabsh Meh. The whole complaint just sounds like a washed up aging rocker, bitching cause he's not selling like he used to. ;)
-
@fabsh I don't agree with him whatsoever. Digital distribution hasn't "ruined" music. It means you get more of what you like.
-
@fabsh I agree that Jobs is an ass, but I like digital media, and no matter what Jon says, he is just saying that digital = bad.
-
@richslxh Possibly, I've never been a big bon jovi fan. But, there are enough ballads in the world. :)
-
@fabsh Like Gaslight Anthem
-
@aptidude Well, yeah. And like other famous bands with certain street names from Freehold. *cough*
-
@yamanickill Digital distribution is crap. MP3s suck, prices are too high. I'm buying CDs...
-
@jpope I doubt Jon has money problems, mate... ;)
-
@fabsh If it weren't for digital, I doubt I'd get to hear a quarter of the bands I've heard. Quite the limited selection in my location..
-
@fabsh Agreed. Still sounds that he's whining. :)
-
@fabsh Bah, he's overrated. The Smithereens are a real NJ band.
-
@fabsh It depends on what type of digital distrobution you are talking about ;p
-
@rstrcogburn The mass market one. Ie. ~ 190 kb/s MP3.
-
@fabsh cds are still digital...
-
@fabsh @Magnatune is very nice, and you can get FLACs (and Oggs) Not the widest selection, but then they're an independent record label.
-
@trelane We are talking about mainstream music.
-
@yamanickill Well, yes but you rip them you don't copy directly.
-
@jpope I dunno, Jobs can use some public bashing. He's a smug jackass.
-
@snapl I know Magnatune. This is not what the discussion was about, dude...
-
@fabsh Completely agree. But to blame Jobs here also gives him full credit for the digital music revolution. It was happening anyway...
-
@fabsh Ah, OK. I still buy CDs as well, but MP3s are todays cassette tapes. People buy them regardless of quality for convenience.
-
@fabsh OK, but then you're limiting yourself to the "evil" labels. :)
-
@fabsh And frankly, I'll pick up a MP3 of a band to check them out, but I'll end up with the CD at some point. So they artist gets two sales
-
@jpope That ain't a revolution.... It's crap! :)
-
@snapl There's some very good stuff on @Magnatune. One of my more recent favorites is The West Exit.
-
@trelane Dude, I'm not limiting myself. I just have a different taste from you. I also buy CDs from independent people...
-
@trelane I also download stuff but only if they don't have CDs for sale...
-
@trelane the West Exit is great. Also love Five Star Fall, Drop Trio, and XXXCarRide. :)
Joseph likes this. -
@fabsh Hard to find independent stuff that's not local without digital distrobution...
-
@fabsh True, but its still not what Jon would like. Jon wants the old days where you get music on an 11" piece of vinyl...
-
@fabsh Ha! Good point. I'd blithely assumed cd == label. :) Bad one on me. :)
-
@yamanickill I think he's fine with CDs.... ;)
-
@fabsh Tbh, I just think he's talking crap...
-
@fabsh I switched to only live music for a while.. didn't listen to music for a year unless it was live.
-
@fabsh Any band considered "the best" is usually overrated. I feel the same about those two British bands the same ...
-
@aptidude Nah, they *are* the best. He's the best songwriter alive (maybe tied with Dylan) and the best live band for sure.
-
@fabsh Ok, if you add "alive" to the criteria, then I'll admit he's close, but don't forget: Elvis Costello, Tom Waits, Neil Young
-
@aptidude Yeah, Neil Young is ace, man---
-
@yamanickill He's saying what I and all my vinyl-listening friends have been saying for years; the Times hasn't bothered to call any of us
-
@trashbird1240 That's because your hair isn't as pretty as his.
-
@fabsh My bro says: "I thought Jon Bon Jovi was the poor man's !Springsteen, but then I realized Springsteen is the poor man's Springsteen"
-
@aptidude Next time I let Dr. Adamson cut my hair I'll see that she knows about your comment...
