Maybe in that universe of yours where the play 'Far Parade' all the time. I definitely found you putting words and sentiments into my - virtual - mouth. And, my dear boy, you couldn't insult me even if you would string even more pretentiously eloquent words into once sentence than you already do.Prescott wrote:No words were put in your mouth. I merely expressed my disdain for your lack of an argument.
I was merely responding to a reply on my previous post in which I was quoted. That you didn't notice this, nor took it into account says more about your powers of observation - or lack thereof - than it does about my ability to enter into a discourse that shows I've taken the time to read other opinions in this thread. If it was my intention to join the debate on other points, I would have written a different reply. By the way, that reply wasn't even directed at YOU, so why do you feel the need to respond in another's stead? Self conscious much?Every single point you tried to make had already been addressed in this thread, either by myself or someone else. If you can't be bothered to enter into a discourse that is even vaguely reminiscent of a manner that shows you've taken the time to read what we have already collectively said, then why should I or anyone else take your rant about some out-dated philosophy of selling records?
Spoken like a devoted follower of Anders Behring Breivik. Will you too appear on my doorstep to shoot me because I happen to disagree with you? Or will you just continue to attempt to belittle me and anyone else who does so?It's certainly a sign of the times. Baby-boomers and what not who continue to cling to the old paradigms and think that the rest of us have moved on are wrong.
You prove my point to a tee : you obviously have no idea that making music costs an amount of money. I never spoke of inordinate amounts. Again, you presume and put words in my mouth.As I've mentioned before, who says you or Von or anyone else need spend inordinate amounts of money on some lavish production for a record? Obviously anything recorded would be better than those live recordings "available on YouTube in varying quality". It wouldn't really matter if you or I or Eldritch used Reason or ProTools or Logic and a few interns or if freaking Jim Steinman and Quincy Jones themselves produced and engineered it with Flood sitting there in the background sipping coffee and making strange noises.
In my experience, those who are quick to accuse others of close mindedness are usually those who are the most close minded. Once again, you presume. It appears that anyone who disagrees with you is met with that disdain of yours, as you obviously belittle them and their points of view.You and Andrew are both so close-minded about how to make a record it's not even funny. With this mind-set it's a wonder the early singles were ever recorded.
Given that kind of discourse, and the fact you've been mistaken intellectualism for intellect, I'll make an assumption of my own : either you're still at uni, or you have a hard time leaving the student mind set. Over the years, I've agreed and disagreed with many people here from all walks of life. Neither they nor I were ever prone to looking down on the other's points of view, even if we didn't agree at all. And we most certainly didn't resort to presuming anything about the other to prove our point at all cost.
Crystal clear. To the point where I won't even dignify a response to this reply of mine, as it is obvious that you have no respect for anyone whose opinion doesn't side with yours, no matter how many posh words you pack into a sentence to disguise it. Have fun in your universe, I'll go play with the adults on this board now...I hope that clears things up.

comes from a generation where if you were a successful muso, you could expect to the live the millionaire life with leBon's yacht, or Jagger's mansion etc. That isn't the case any more and maybe he's just a wee bit bitter about that?
