Sometimes I wonder about THE COMMON (!!) opinion of how a band should sound like...
And more and more often it convince me that at least 50% of listeners simply do not care about the music, but pay their attention to how a band SOUNDS. And the band that has its guitar sound similar to say a well known band (although the music can be totally different) is doomed to be rejected. Fucking great, men!! And the explanation is that the more original the band is the more attention it deserves... What about the classical music then?! It all sound the same simply because in most cases it is just an ORCHESTRA... Let's imagin an artist painting a wall with shit - 100% original!! Would you enjoy his art? Thanks a lot guys I'd better buy somethin' less original, looking 40% Repin, 20% Rembrandt, 30% Mikelangelo but being a REAL peace of art despite all those similarities...
