Society/Culture Woke. Can you tell real from parody? - Part 2 - And now with added metal

I'm still trying to work out what right-wingers stand for these days.

Predominantly white homogeneity? Capitalism? Rape? Wealth inequality?

White Christian supremacy.

So you're still going to Angels and Hoodoo Guru gigs and thinking this is peak Australiana?

I don't like Australian music. Wouldn't have one Australian band in my top 50.

Research has shown that creativity peaks around the late 20s to early 30s, that's why much of the great works and scientific breakthroughs are created by people in that age group. Factor in things like hand-eye co-ordination, physical energy etc and it's no surprise writing and performing of popular music (which is what I was largely referring to) is a young person's game. I have no doubt that certain skill through practice and repetition can be improved with age, but name an artist that produced better music in their 60s and 70s than their 20s and 30s. People say Bowie's Blackstar was great but it still wasn't a patch on his early work. Ditto Dylan. I love Pearl Jam and they just produced their best album in 25 years but it wasn't as good as their first four or five. Mozart's best works were in his 20s and 30s.

Could I personally practice and become better at music in my 50s than my 20s? Sure. But the likelihood of someone producing significant music that is both revolutionary and popular in their 50s is much less likely than their 20s and 30s.

Was the mozart comment an in joke?


I think a lot of those great artists fizzled out when they got rich and lost ambition and also ruined their minds with drugs.

I do agree with the creativity argument you made though. Mathematicians are also best at younger ages. But music is also about the physical side and improved with repetition enabling greater complexity.

The physical side is interesting. Yes, you can improve with repetition and practice, but in terms of performing in front of a crowd, it can be physically draining and favours youth.

Opera singers often get better with age. Classical musicians too

Nah mate. Bowling greens have been taken over by woke hipsters drinking craft beer.

Metal musicians typically don't, though expecting them to play thrash metal at 220 bpm into their 60s is probably a bit unfair.

Eddie Vedder simply can't hit some of the notes or tempos he could when he was younger so Pearl Jam have adapted songs for their live sets. Ageing voices is just as real as ageing bodies.

Yeah Metallica and Megadeth both tune down to make it easier for them to sing, Hetfield "cheats" a little bit with his guitar playing too, like I said fair enough for old dudes.

110bpm with a double kick is the same thing innit?

I don't think you'll find too many choosing 2011 Meatloaf over the 1976 version.

To get back on topic, getting old is woke.

Age 30 in 77 64 in 2011

Was deteriorating well before though

I'm no expert but that can be correct i think, BPM kind of depends on how you look at it. Nicko McBrain recently retired from Maiden, he never drummed with a double bass, he'd do the heel and toe method, doing that at 72 is pretty crazy

Heel and toe double bass at 72 bpm is closer to dubstep mate

Gethelred i know this is out of my jurisdiction but pls card this flog, mentioned dubstep when replying about Iron Maiden, the worst post I’ve read on SRP (which is some feat)

Snitch tagging reminds me of my boss, who is a massive Iron Maiden fan.

Probably just a coincidence.

I think this band would be a lot better if they ditched their whammy pedals or at least used them sparingly, don't think any band needs two guitarists using it at the same time like that. Still, props to them for trying something different.

It was literally just a play on bpm. With most dubstep being 140 bpm, then 72 bpm with double bass is very close to dubstep.
