Kashmir sounds pretty good on violin.

It doesn't sound like they are actually playing it. Too much background accompaniment FTL. How is it talent if you are just "lip synching"?

That said they are hot and the song is a classic phenomenal song I never get tired of listening to.

But they didn't write it, and they barely performed it by themselves.

Just to illustrate my point, this is the real thing. No accompaniment, all the instruments you hear are present and accounted for, all is revealed. 😉

I'd be ok if they recorded something themselves and playing it back during their performance, but sampling = fail in my book. Just my opinion, take it or leave it.

Also look at the performer's faces. In my link their faces match what they are playing. In essence they feel the music they are playing.

In the dog and pony show...err talent show, they are just idiotically smiling the whole time. Not the feeling that music is conveying.

Oh and while I'm at it, I'll add that the woman playing violin in my link is just as hot, if not more so because she didn't have as many coats of paint as a Lexus RX 350 on her face. Just sayin... 🙂

Thanks for the link though it was interesting, if just in a case study of fail though.

Well, fail is is very subjective when it comes to music. Some people might prefer the original gospel version of In My Time Of Dying from the 1920s instead of the cover Led Zeppelin put on Physical Graffiti and there's nothing wrong with that.

I seem to remember posting on this forum about Lucia & Ian covering Kashmir before. Just too lazy to search right now.

You just gave me ear cancer, you ass :|


I'm an avid Jimmy Page fan (you'll notice my avatar is his #1 Les Paul), and I remember him telling a story how he suggested "You know, we may want to drop this down to E to make it sound heavier." Puff Daddy replied "I don't know nothin' about no E's man, just play it."

And that, my friends, is the state of today's music artists.

I agree, nothing wrong with that. But did Led Zeppelin sample a recording of the original or put their own twist on it and play it with, oh say their own instruments for example?

One is lazily copying, the other is learning to play it themselves and putting their own twist on it, even if that twist is just the way they play it, even if the notes are exactly the same, the sound, and the feeling won't be.

I just feel too many artists today take the lazy way out, and just copy the original recording by the original artist. They don't even make an effort to play it themselves, to give the audience something new to experience. So in effect I am saying they are cheating their customers and insulting their intelligence. Assuming of course they have any.
