Re: Where Have All the Melodies Gone?
But why start with something that you're going to break? It's like thinking session templates are the bee's knees and as great as sliced bread. Or that certain orchestral parts can only be played by certain instruments. Not a fan of so-called conventional wisdom when it comes to music creation.

It has to do with how chords are built, how harmonic structures are built and move from one to another, and how rhythmic and tonal devices are used to create melodies. That takes someone that actually knows what the structure of music is, not some fool sitting on his bed "layin down beats" with a $50 drum machine.

For me - no thanks. If one strictly follows music theory you wouldn't have jazz as we know it today. You also wouldn't have prog rock either. While there's good music done following music theory and I can respect that I can also respect what 'some fool sitting on his/her bed layin down beats' does. There's good meaningful music done that way as well. May not be hummable/singable but sure is danceable. And it sells. |

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVtVsiebT98&t=2s Since you are a huge Rush fan, you probably have already watched the documentary Beyond the Lighted Stage, but if not it is available on Netflix (I still get the dvds shipped to me - old school). I think Neil has officially retired, so there may not be any more new Rush music or performances.

Quite familiar with what's going on with The Professor's trials - massive shoulder problems. Considering how his kit is set up and how hard he hits this isn't surprising. I have one of his instructional dvd's where it shows him putting the kick pedal beater through the batter head and the camera pans up to his face and he just smiles. Alex and Geddy are real nice guys that like to meet the public and not just with meet & greets at concerts. Neil doesn't do that for personal reasons a lot of which happened after he lost his wife and one daughter fairly close together. It's interesting that when they're finally done for the night after the last encore Neil runs off stage like at a track meet. And that's what made it all the more poignant at the last concert they gave that he actually came out from behind the kit and did the bow to the audience with Alex & Geddy. There was talk of Taylor Hawkins taking over Neil's place in Rush - he's a good drummer but nowheres in the class of Mr. Peart. Read a story the other day where Neil said his daughter introduces her dad as a retired drummer and he agreed that that's him. |
