Guest James_coDurham Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 I have heard a few of his tracks in the past and thought - ok. Downloaded his new album based on the vitriolic responses in this thread. Played the whole album form start to finish - no skipping. I have to say it's pretty poor like. It's not sure what it's trying to be. Jamesyou described it as southern rock - it's really not. If you want Southern Rock try the Black Crowes. Now there's a southern band with plenty of talent. Some of the songs are blatant rip-offs. On one song he basically steals Sweet Home Alabama and rips its guts out. I don't just mean the chorus, I mean the guitar solo, the piano solo, the chorus and part of the premise for the song. It's like he's trying to be something he's not. It's like Pop but trying to be 'more Rock' but throwing in a mess of other styles. The mix of styles when done properly sounds quite refreshing but done poorly sounds like an album with multiple split personalities. He has popularity I'll give you that. Popularity does not equal talent though. There are loads of bands who where technically very good but fail to make much of an impact (I can give an example if you like) whereas some people strike a chord with your average (perhaps 'mass market') joe and make it big. James Blunt is a classic example of this. The amount of people in the music industry who have gone on record wondering why JB is so popular). As for the vitriolic responses, it's something I've noticed on this board. Maybe it's just because I don't visit that often and probably contribute even less, but it seems that sometimes when someone has a strong opinion of something and decides to share it; if it deviates from the 'perceived' line of acceptance it seems to get lambasted. I'm not saying I agree with James coDuham - because I don't, I just thought I'd share the observation. Incidentally, I've since deleted the offending album It's not southern rock I was merely stating that it had been southern rock influenced. The Sweet Home Alabama/Werewolves of London mix was clearly intentional and not a rip off, and Kid Rock being described as pop is possibly the most ludicrous thing I've ever read.

sammynb 3362 Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 I think if you look outside this country he actually is. Would you actually like me to find you a photo of them at the funeral together ffs so suddenly outside of this country he manifests talent? and Maggies? the vitriol is aimed more at the assertion that Kid Rock is really talented and not just a well marketed product , or James Blunt is the "best singer songwriter of recent times". that's why I've been giving examples of music that I've liked but have acknowledge their mediocrity. Actually it's the fact we are all cunts/peniswarts, etc when we disagree with assertion kid cock and james bl©unt are the musical messiahs that the vitriol becomes apparent. No not everyone is those things. Just you. Excellent, thanks for that thomper - always wanted to be recognised as an individual and not part of the moron collective.
