I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt and assuming that she's saying that there were a lot of crap metal bands around in the 80's and you had to look hard to find the good ones.

That's assuming techno sucks of course. But Groove Coverage is ok, isn't it? And that Sophie Ellis Baxter chick. And Isolee.

no.

what the hell does that mean?

it means that techno is horrible, and he is likening rock in the 80s to techno. he is calling rock of the 80s shit.

rock was great in the 80s. and techno isn't horrible either.

Most techno sounds like it was done by a homeless guy in Germany whose nephew gave him a Casio keyboard for Hanukkah, and he accidentally pressed a few buttons on it when he tripped from ejaculating on a moving cat, while a record company executive was walking by. Rock was like that in the 80s, except that the guy is indeterminately European and his nephew gave him a blowdryer for Ash Wednesday.

How could someone listen to only guitar based music in this time and age i really don't know.Does one not get bored of the guitar sound after hearing it for so long?

how is that a bad thing?

When you put it that way... There might be some room for musical improvisation. And, now that I think about it, that actually would not be an easy thing to accomplish.

i only have about 2 techno records but they are both excellent. jeff mills & doppler effeckt. jeff mills is amazing.

jeff mills is fucking god.Wich one have you got?

synthesizers are rad

when used corrrectly, for sure! i hate when they sound so dang cheesy.. i feel sorry for them. cos they are clearly crying out to be saved!

no yeah for sure synthesizer are only synthesizers when tey sound delicious.
it's the only way i can explain

yeah, like big "bzzzzzzzzzrzrzrrzrzrzrzrzrzrzrzrzzzzzzwowowowozzo wzowozwozozwzowzoz" sounds are synthesizers. i cant think of what a cheesy synth sounds like.. but.. air supply? april wine? i don't know.. something cheesy and 80s like that, thats NOT a synth... thats a keyboard....

cheesy synth sounds like this; "beedeebeedee beep .... werrrrrrr blup"

Like synths are the latest in music technology.......oh well.

another thing: synths that a either new or coloured silver (nearly synonymous, i know) are complete shit. they either have to have fake wood or be black. no silver! NONE! silver is a new colour, and new synths suck.
