Yeah sure, I think that site is not that good as you explain, People are more listening to the beats than the words and the meaning of it.

 

[Simbazz]

I disagree, i listen to the words before the music.

I listen to both. Words can make a song, however music can do the same also. They're on the same level really in musical terms. Although like many I always respect good lyricy over good music. Since Music is supposed to be an expression of yourself.

Speaking of good musical causes the NME Love Music Hate Racism one is a good one. http://www.nme.com/lovemusichateracism

Aye, that's a fine cause indeed. I take it you got the free CD that NME gave away with that campaign a few weeks ago Animator? Brilliant. I t fills me with so much pride when I see the indie scene doing campaigns like this. That idiot Doherty is part of it as well.

Yes but he was saying most people listen to the beats over the words and the meaning instinctively.

 

[Simbazz]

Well i was saying that i listen to the words more than the music, but you cant beat a classy drum solo!

 

[evertonfan]

Bit of bass guitar can't go wrong either.

 

[Simbazz]

Bass is over-rated in my opinion. I mean, most of the bands i listen to have good bass players, Fall Out Boy have a mediocure one, so i'm not saying Pete Wentz one little bit!

But if you get the join of a drum and a lead guitarist, magic happens.

 

[evertonfan]

One only needs to look at Mark King to see how fantastic Bass can be.

 

[Simbazz]

If used right it can be effective, i know from experience that too much bass kills it, too little makes the song flat.

But as i say, a good leadman with a guitar, and a good drummer is the way to go, luckily i can play both so i know what i'm on about, but i play badly i'd say

Bass, lead guitar and drums you need them all. Take bass out of a some songs and you'll notice how crap they sound vice versa for the other two.

 

[Simbazz]

But you need a good strong vocalist in there!

 

[evertonfan]

Of course you do. You need a bassist as well though.

 

[Simbazz]

Not neccesarilly. You can do a number 1 hit without a bassist. You are unlikely to get there without a singer.

I agree with you a bassist is needed, but his/her importance over the singer is less.
