OK guys, the holiday season approaches and I was idly thinking of what might be an amusing thread. What is your idea of musical hell.Political correctness notwithstanding: Mine would be a job as a sound engineer on a joint Whitney Houston/Mariah Carey album of slow"soulfoul" ballads-the working title would be "wailfest".
(NB, if any of you are rude about the Beatles I shall tell my Mum.)

So many notes so little time in the case of those pair <shudders>,
My own personal musical hell is every shop I have the misfortune to go into playing "The best ever Christmas album" (or whatever it's called this year), couples with that breed of busker that only appears during the late night christmas period, who insist on murdering the Beatles and the Simon & Garfunkle song book.
Bah Humbug !
Though this christmas will have the musical highlight of gaining some more Pretty Things re-releases on CD
Hurrah !
Rob...
On a non musical vein being forced to visit my sister in law and putting up with her drunkenly singing so called patriot songs, & crying about dead people

Musical hell? Well, let's say this: Whenever you turn on a radio or a TV you'll get nothing but rap, RNB and dance music and the occaisional boy band or that type of music that is sung in my native language. When you go out to a bar or club you'll hear that same stuff all over again.
OMG I'm in hell! :evil:

Musical Hell = JAMES BLUNT and COLDPLAY :shock: :shock: :evil: :evil:
-
When I used to work behind a bar and Rin DMC Vs Jeson Nevins was out at the same time as the theme tune to Titanic. They would have requests and play both about 5 times a night each. :cry:
Or nowadays, anything with me singing.

Rob...
I'd be inclined to second that, Rob. There's plenty of cr@p music around, but cr@p Christmas music takes the biscuit. Apparently it works and cons people into thinking they'd better hurry up with their Christmas shopping (even if it's still August), but I'm contrary and would refuse to buy in that shop on principle so it's actually losing them sales.
:drink:
-
anything played on commercial radio
-
at least you could prev on Mariah Carey!
id hate to be stuck in an elevator playing 'Great Xmas hits of the past CD 2'
now THAT would be full of sonic shitee.
-

Goddam sicko... what the hell does "prev" mean?
Guys like you make me ashamed of my gender. :roll: :wink: :roll:
-
man, i'd hit her over the head w/ an sm57, then hit it HARD!!
-
My Dad & his brother whenever they get together (& really pissed) sing their own "special" version of I can't quit you babe by Zeppelin. That is musical hell!! I have made excuses this year to be somewhere else :lol:
-
Anywhere there's a karaoke night on.
:shock: :x :evil: :cry:
-
Anytime I rent a car in England and don't have any CD's and have to take the M1 north.
-
i have my car sterio tuned to interferance so i dont get subjected to that between swapping CD's :P
-
he he -keep 'em coming guys.
-
I have to have something on the stereo when driving, I just hate it being all quiet. So I was subjected to Radio 1, 2 and Connect FM from the end of August up to last week when I finally got a cd player for the car :lol:
Another thing thats becoming musical hell is band practises, I'm sick of the same covers (I dont even like the majority of the songs we cover) and we cant find a singer so I think its time to quit soon..
-

Yeah... oh, I forgot .. Northants 96 :lol: Terrible stuff. Although I have to say I do sometimes enjoy listening to Chris Moyles on Radio 1, he can be quite funny but most of the time is a bit of a tit really.

Yeah... oh, I forgot .. Northants 96 :lol:

:D My version of musical hell is........
A has been producer doing an appalling remix of songs from a band he recorded 30 odd years ago for no other reason than its time for Xmass & he needs to cash in on his & there name...........Oh hang on thats !!!......
:D 8)

Musical Hell:
"Mr Lover Man" by Shabba Ranks. :evil:

Anything MANUFACTURED by a 'suit' to rape money from the uneducated.
-
Greensleeves played on the pan pipes.
Anything at all played on the harpsicord. Not for nothing did Sir Thomas Beecham describe the instrument as sounding "like two skeletons copulating on a corrugated tin roof".
-
oh no, pan pipes. I was given a cd of pan pipes playing "popular" songs once for Christmas.What on earth made anyone think I would like that, oh well I suppose it is the thought.
-
at least you could prev on Mariah Carey!
You could perv on Whitney Houston but then you would be a real freak (and a sick one at that).

How about 50cent doing a christmas song with Mariah Carey with Take That on background vocals.
Somebody hand me a bucket, I think I'm gonna hurl.

I would suggest any of those 'artists' seperately nevermind combined at christmas.
I hope it's the bucket you ae gonna hurl, at them
May I suggest 95% of Oasis material should go onto the hell list.
Oasis = a group of builders helpers copying the Beatles (& Mott the Hoople), badly !

Ohh "Perv".... That's OK then...
I did look up what "prev" means and you need to find a length of nylon cord and and a salted herring. (You could use tin a tin of tuna but that's cheap). :P

Possibly the most depressing thread on the internet. Sit me down, it's all too much.
But more to the point - musical hell is walking into a music shop and hearing some kid play:
-Smoke on the Water
-Stairway to Heaven
-Sweet Child of Mine
-Anything by :x:x:x -> Blink 182 <- :x:x:x
For over FIFTEEN MINUTES!!!
-
man, i'd hit her over the head w/ an sm57, then hit it HARD!!
I'd buy her a drink, a large one. I find it has the same effect, if you know what I mean. :wink:

Why hasn't anyone mentioned Slade yet? Its that time of year after all :twisted: :twisted:
-
Nobody plays smoke on the water or stairway anymore
You cant do the No Stairway....Denied routine these days
I have a rule that you cant leave my place UNTIL you play it
Or maybe this song for Xmas
On my heavy metal Christmas my true love gave to me,
12 Silver crosses
11 Black mascaras
10 Pairs of platforms
9 Tattered t-shirts
8 Pentagrams
7 Leather jackets
6 Cans of hairspray
5 Skull earrings
4 Quarts of Jack
3 Studded belts
2 Pairs of spandex pants
And a tattoo of Ozzy!

bar-stewards!
-
In no particular order...
Having to play another gig at the Duke's Head, Leatherhead.. (We are not by the way - any time we are asked we'll be 'busy')
Both sort of American music - Country and Western :lol:
Cliff Richard - about time he was wheeled out again for Xmas...
Agree with the thread regarding Mariah 'Why Sing One Note When You Can Sing Sixteen?' Carey - great until she opens her mouth...

Imagine her screaming in ecstacy during a night of passion, it would put you off sex for the rest of your life.

'Walking in Memphis' - either version - just makes me feel sick to the stomach. ARRGGGHHH!!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jOTqNexJ5_s
:(
The only way it could get any worse would be to have David Gray do a cover of it.

Or Robbie Williams, James Blunt, Celine Dion (infact just about anybody else come to think of it)
I'm just glad that Cher hasn't done a version, though she did once do a song called 'Walking in Mumphus" which was dire
-
I was wondering if anyone would mention dear Celine.She is just so funny to watch thoug-best to turn the volume down when she is on otherwise it can get pretty nasty.

You mean like this:

I'm sorry about this - not for the faint hearted
Not even a Meredith Brookes Guitar solo saves it
How does Celine do a "Duckwalk " a la Chuck Berry in heels??
-
Sorry I feel so bad about that last post :cry:
Quick - watch this as an antidote :

Jonathan how could you-there were cries of "make it stop" in this house. You did indeed redeem yourself so I have forgiven you. (Please, no links to the Nolans on Youtube please)

I have to be honest, Celine apart I kind of enjoyed that... :oops:
I still think Anastacia's abdomen is (was?) a wondrous thing to behold.
-
Steve Vai and Mattias Eklundh stopping playing guitar and moving over to Rap...
-
:D That was truly F***ing dreadful !!
I need to have a lie down now !!
You no your career`s over when an awards ceremony do`s a really tame easy listening version of one of your songs !!!
Christ they even had a percussionist !! Sorry Johnathon but the solo was cr@p to !!
But i have to admit Anastacia is a Babe.
Your right Queensryche has redeemed you !!! But dont ever do that again !!
:D 8)
-
Snigger !!!! :lol: :twisted:
I just love Operation Mindcrime all these years on
The live version is simply wonderful
I do like Anastacia (have albums to prove it)
She is still in good shape and doing well after the surgery for breast cancer.
The boob reduction has changed the way she looks though - was a splendidly busty girl before.........
Celine just always seems awkward and gawky to me

She's scarier than Marilyn Manson and Micheal Jackson together.

She's scarier than Marilyn Manson and Micheal Jackson together.
But have you ever actually seen them together???
Makes you wonder doesn't it!
-
You beat me to the punch Gingataff, by a couple of hours by the looks of things.
-
Well nobody has ever seen Michael and Latoya Jackson together either.
Between them theyre bad enough news for any family.
Depressing musical search on Youtube.
Searching for The Pretty Things, insists on returning those self abusers, Dirty Pretty Things (and I can't find a way of excluding the word dirty from the returned matches).
It's so depressing to know they exist in the same universe as me, without having their repulsive images appearing on screen.
Rob...
PS if you don't know The Pretty Things, they where better than the Stones in the mid 60s, wrote the first rock opera (SF Sorrow), and where a great heavy rock band in the 70s.

Expect that duo to come up in an episode of South Park or Where My Dogs At.

Dolly Parton's version of "Stairway to Heaven" on some live concert special I saw part of last fall. Despite already-heavy sedation, I bent on the emergency tequila by the end of verse 2 when I saw that she wasn't playing the song for laughs (which might have been tolerable). Alas, I could not make darkness overtake me before the end of the song, and thus witnessed the most non-Robert-Plantable vocal climax to the song I've ever been subjected to. Plus, I couldn't find the damned remote.

Yesterday a couple of work colleagues were discussing the winner of pop idol or X factor or whatever it is called comparing her to Mariah C and Whitney. I heard them say she has a great voice just llike the aforesaid "singers". Just what we need....I don't think.
-
My own idea of musical hell, would be to sit through a Spice Girls concert, or S Club 7 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo!!!
or if DJ's took over the world, I'd shoot myself, I HATE the way DJ's think they are so god damn important!
Without the musciains there would be no music for DJ's to play, and half the time they talk over the music and dont even tell you what the bloody song was!
who do they think they are? they're taking the piss out of all musicans! I want my pamra money and I want it now.
thats my idea of hell, and it's happening all around me all the time, hell is real!
