At what point did you fall in love with Music?


Doc Holiday

Recommended Posts

I'm sitting here on my day off cleaning the house while listening to "Another day, Another Time: the music behind inside Llewyn Davis"  which a showtime music doc about a concert with various artists that played for the sound track of the movie, really great stuff if you enjoy folk/bluegrass music, which is by far my favorite genre of music.

 

My love for Folk and Bluegrass music is something that came very late to me, In middle school to high school I listened to what ever was popular, but never really enjoyed music, and honestly for a while I never thought there was any genre of music I truly enjoyed to listen too. and about 5 years ago while traveling with some friends of mine in Australia one of them was big into Bluegrass and I started to listen to his stuff and have been hooked ever since.

 

Oddly enough the very first bluegrass song I ever enjoyed was a cover of Metallica's Unforgiven by Iron Horse

 

 

so what's your favorite genre and when did you fall in love with it?

Hardcore/metal/metalcore.

I'm a little embarrassed to say this but I fell in love with it after an older student drove me home from school and was playing Hawthorne Heights. I now despise that band but I went out to Wal-Mart the next day and bought their cd. I also bought Killswitch Engage's cd at the time because it sounded "hardcore." I've been in love with the genre ever since.

Doesn't mean I don't appreciate other types of music.  The only genre I'm not a big fan of is rap or country.  I listen to it because those are pretty much the only genres my friends listen to, but it's not preferred.  Basically, if a band/song has good instrumentals/musicians, I'll listen to it.

When my dad gave me his record collection and his radio.

It was an awesome variety of music that included Michael Jackson, Donna Summer, Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, Boston, Foreigner, Queen, and Dylan.

Between that and my mom always playing Johnny Mathis and Anita Baker around the house I came to love many styles of music. If it has a real drummer and good vocals I'm happy.

I really have a soft spot for beautiful women with great voices and heavy music with a good groove and vocal harmonies

Honestly? probably when I did mushrooms or LSD for the first time, and listening to the Dead. The Dead opened up so much other music for me, before that it was metal and hard rock. Not so much into metal now, hurts my head. But I can listen to almost anything now, and I blame the Dead and psychedelics.

My parents would play us some great albums growing up.  Stuff ranging from The Who, INXS, Talking Heads, The B-52s, The Beatles, Velvet Underground and plenty more.  So when I got a little older I really appreciated everything they played (looking back).

 

It was early high school that I got into the classical/baroque/romanticism eras that showed me what truly amazing music was.

Yeah I can't stand country, the current embodiment of country is nothing but an ad-executives bastardization of a music genre, hasn't been good in a while.

    • Yes.  And this converts directly to confidence.  Does the coach have confidence to call a deep dig or seam route?  Does Bryce have confidence in his ability to be the Alpha?  Do his teammates have confidence.  About film--when I see Cam Newton's pre-snap confidence vs. Bryce's, it is night and day.   Film--tells you if the WRs are open (why l love watching the Replay telecasts from the end zone cameras--you can see it.  I have seen 2 WRs open and Bryce's eyes are on the outlet WR or the pass rush. )  You can see progressions, and he has improved a bit--but he is very quick to rush through 1 and 2 and checkdown--that is a lack of confidence in his ability to read the defense.  I had a former NFL TE (Deems Maye) who played QB in high school (not sure about college) tell me that the best QBs read the defense by knowing where everyone will be when the ball is to arrive--not where they are.  I think his QB at the time was Humphries.  He said that Humphries would throw the ball into coverage before the cuts etc.  because he understood DB momentum, zone areas, etc.  and he could just see it.  Said so when people say nobody was open, they are usually right because nobody should be "open" when the QB has the ball--when the ball arrives, everyone should be open.  He said Humphries was never "great" but his skills were limited--from a small school--but his ability to read a defense made him never give up on a route.
