Yeah because there have NEVER been any egotists from Juilliard (ahem, where Rudess went for classical piano before he turned to prog wankery) or Berklee College of Music or the Royal College of Music or the Royal Academy of Music or the Conservatoire de Paris or Hochschule fur Musik und Theater...herodotus wrote:Acrobat wrote: An egotist is always a self-taught musician....
Yeah, but it was probably for alumni only... snobs.bduffy wrote:Actually, the Hochschule fur Musik und Theater crowd are pretty easy-going. We had a great orgy the other night, in fact.
Can you play as well as him? He's a really good keyboard player and for that we have to give him credit.Sickle wrote:How many threads about this butthole are we gonna have here before they take him down?
I think that makes it worse. The fact that he IS a really good player and he bombards us with this wank garbage. He should know better!keyman_sam wrote: Can you play as well as him? He's a really good keyboard player and for that we have to give him credit.

Why can't they all be true artists and either starve or just put a shotgun barrel in their mouth after they begin their sellout like Kurt Cobain did.
Pat Metheny on Kenny G http://www.jazzoasis.com/methenyonkennyg.htmKenny G can really play sax well, but he insists on doing soft jazz pap. No difference here.
his harmonic and melodic vocabulary was extremely limited, mostly to pentatonic based and blues-lick derived patterns, and he basically exhibited only a rudimentary understanding of how to function as a professional soloist in an ensemble
I always thought of his music as bland elevator type music, but I had no idea he had ever stooped so low until I read this.Pat Metheny wrote:But when Kenny G decided that it was appropriate for him to defile the music of the man who is probably the greatest jazz musician that has ever lived by spewing his lame-ass, jive, pseudo bluesy, out-of-tune, noodling, wimped out, f**ked up playing all over one of the great Louis's tracks (even one of his lesser ones), he did something that I would not have imagined possible. He, in one move, through his unbelievably pretentious and calloused musical decision to embark on this most cynical of musical paths, shit all over the graves of all the musicians past and present who have risked their lives by going out there on the road for years and years developing their own music inspired by the standards of grace that Louis Armstrong brought to every single note he played over an amazing lifetime as a musician. By disrespecting Louis, his legacy and by default, everyone who has ever tried to do something positive with improvised music and what it can be, Kenny G has created a new low point in modern culture - something that we all should be totally embarrassed about - and afraid of. We ignore this, "let it slide", at our own peril.
I think what happened is that he would have wanted the animator to make it such that fire was coming outta his hands, as if he's a wizard.Stupid American Pig wrote:you have to admit- its a ridiculous pose.
I think that is the core issue here, not whether or not he is a sellout, prodigy or snob. I think the ad should adopt Donks' flying cock gif and be a permanent fixture here.
