RE: Alternative Weekend: Unconvinced by some of the heavy stuff
I caught part of that Slipknot docco. I cant get into this stuff either, there seems little rhythm but the masks are kind of different. 9 blokes in a band is a lot!
If I could catch hold of one of there tracks it might get me in but its not happened yet. They are a little different than the rest though.
I think you need to be in the right mood for some music. There's a Miles Davis documentary that was on last night that I may watch soon. Talk about contrast.
There's an amazing amount of docco's on YouTube. Just pick your artist and you can generally find something. The history behind bands, the fights, the reshuffles, and the music I find really interesting.
Even better if I know little about the artist. You can learn a lot and sometimes get into the music as they tend to promote the better songs.
I was listening to what the Slipknot guys were saying more than their music a few nights ago.
There are some good ones on Netflix too. The one on Rush was informative as I don't know much about them. I am willing to give different bands a go as I said. Sometimes I find something I really like.
Nice, I'll have a look as we have Netflix and I can watch that in bed!
