Strum, what do you think of Ayla's rendition of "Since I've Been Loving You"? I think it's pretty extraordinary.
I am of the opinion that lots of young people (keep in mind, I am one) gravitate toward classic rock for the same reason people gravitate toward classic cars, classic art, etc. If it's older, lots of people think that makes it inherently better.
Look, if someone is well versed in music from today and from yesteryear and decides they like classic rock better, that's fine by me. I just think it's stupid and disingenuous when someone who's 21 years old and can't name more than 30 honest-to-goodness bands (not pop groups) says something like "The first time I heard the Beatles was the day my life changed forever." Like, that's bullshit lol.
Well, time is the ultimate test. If people are still listening to music from several decades, or even centuries before, then obviously that music has merit and has stood the test of time. The same applies to paintings, literature, basically any medium. So older art forms generally garner respect because they have stood the test of father time. Fads come and go but quality endures.
I know this will puzzle Zeppelin fans. But, I don't care much for that song.
I have watched all 4 of Ayla's videos and she's incredibly gifted... a natural talent. I love seeing younger generations get inspired like that.
Why do most rich folks put fancy 18th century paintings in their house? 99 times out of 100, it ain't because they have some intense affinity for art. It's simply because they think it makes them look fancy.
I loved Ayla's rendition. There are some people who undergo training or lessons and are very talented at what they do and then there are others who have been given a gift. That young lady was born with that gift. Gifts are extraordinary and not everyone possesses them.
Music is an amazing creation and experience. It's one of the few things that all people can relate to in a universal way. It is a medium that people, who might otherwise dislike each other, can find unity, common ground, through it.
Again with the gross generalizations. You paint with one of the widest brushes I've ever seen. First it was 5 out of 6 young people listening to classic rock because it makes them seem cool or worldly. Now it's 99 out of 100 rich people buying old masters just to look fancy. I give people more credit than you do, both young and old. You seem to be quite jaded for a younger man.
She sure was. There are many guitarists out there who can shred a guitar, but not too many who can play with the passion and feeling that this young lady does. Her range of volume, tone, pace, and attack is very impressive for one so young.
Couldn't agree more.
I don't have the money to buy anything fancy like a Picasso or a Monet. I like to go to museums and see them, but if I'm being totally honest the only reason I would ever drop 6+ figures on a painting would be to say I own it. I think THN is probably right that a lot of people own it just to make them look fancy. Not as many as 99%, but I think a pretty good amount do.
I think most people buy them as investments, much like many car enthusiasts buy vintage cars for investment purposes. It's a chance to enjoy something beautiful while earning appreciation on a sound investment. Like always, choosing quality is the key with any investment.
That's a good point. I don't understand the car thing though. There is no way I could ever own something like a Ferrari Enzo and not drive the hell out of it. Way to tempting for me.
Yes, @Archer2 you seem to generally have way more faith in people than I do. In my experience, people suck and will always let you down if they have the opportunity to do so.
Here's the deal @Archer2, you need to understand that @TarHeelNation11 is an 80 year old man trapped in a 15 year old body. He is already in the "get off my lawn" stage of his life.
I'm coming to that conclusion myself. It makes some of his broad brush strokes so ironic, can't help but grin.
Oh I can't even argue this. Except for the 15-year-old body part. Your wife would disagree with that assessment.

My mistake on my Gibson, strum. It's actually a 1952 LG-3 instead of a J-50.
My son has his eye on a Reverend Descent Baritone guitar. Have you had any exposure to baritones?
Just a few. They're unique. The intro the Aerosmith's "Back In The Saddle" is on a baritone guitar. They're practically a bass. Not very versatile.
LG-3's are a bit smaller-bodied, but look almost the same. They're still worth between $2k and $3k

This has been around a while but still great to see again. Middle school band students play some Zeppelin
