finger down throat

The shittiest turd i encountered lately, reminds me why i should never click on your links.  Not only they butchered Bach's Cello Suite (likely the best ever composed musical sequence on earth) into pop shyte, but even the so-called 'soloist' should've never touched a cello.

They have to have their hands cut off then be hanged, quartered & fed to the fish. It's a crime worse than sadopædophilia. 

"Cello Songs", for fuck's sake???

If you want a dumbed-down yet somewhat tolerable pop-interpretation of baroque, then Red Priest is your friend:

 (Reaper would approve of the staging ;)

I hope I'm still around in 50 or 60 years. I'd like to see what the music snobs will have to say about this:

I'd call it classical. What makes a classical piece? Style? Age?

It's not old yet, but it will be some day. 

Yeah yeah. I'll spare you the Metal Geek version of the LotR soundtrack. :P

facepalm

Unlike you, I don't put down other people's taste in music bc they tried to call me out on another thread.

I liked the Red Priest. Thank you.

But you haven't learned the first thing about music if you haven't learned that it's like air or sunshine. It's here for every last one of us to love in our own way. If you have to get all narchy-er-than-thou about how you experience it, you have a very serious problem.

You're the moron, wooster.

Yeah, only people who have studied musical theory and have attempted to play an instrument are allowed to offer such a scathing criticism of a good musician.

I can't play the cello. But I can admit that the guy is good. Way better than I'll ever be.

FYI: I do have some musical training. Funny how you forget the posts about my family's musical background on PF, cherrypicker.

You're the fool who's making this a battle. You look so sad when you try to fight about music.

What are you trying to overcompensate for? Is it the same thing that keeps you from posting vocaroo clips when the rest of us get singing? Can't pronounce the letter R?

SRSLY? You want to cut the guy's hands off and torture him bc you don't like his technique. 

 1.  You may want to familiarise yourself with codes of conversation  before you make literal assumptions like that. 

2. It's not only his technique what sucks, but his whole comprehension of the piece at hand. (Check out M. Maisky for reference.)  

Can you play like that?

Of course i can't, i don't play the cello. (Even if i could, i wouldn't stoop as low as that.) Can you?   I guess you can't either.

Are you implying that only those in possession of requisite physical control of a certain instrument are entitled to phrase a valid opinion of performance?   ROFL  

Decent music is a beautiful thing, silly. It's free and plentiful.

Indeed it is. Makes me wonder how the shitload of you miss out on it regardless of its free-for-all availability. 

you need to console yourself by trying to turn a good piece of music into some commodity fetish object that you think you have supreme control over

Like who turned what into what?? Your 8-piece pop performance taking a piss at the masses' stupidity?  

You may want to familiarise yourself with the grounds you're attempting to barge on, and it will be an uphill battle. Not saying you're entirely hopeless, just a tad predisposed for incomprehension. 

SRSLY? You want to cut the guy's hands off and torture him bc you don't like his technique. That's a put down. You're not putting me down. You're putting him down. 

Can you play like that?

Sure you've read some books. Sheldon from Big Bang learned how to swim by surfing the internet, too. lol.

The only musicians I put down are people who are so bad that they leave me going "Fuck. I could do better than that" (most of them are rappers.) Again, could you write and play a better cello suite than The Cello Guy?

Decent music is a beautiful thing, silly. It's free and plentiful. It's a shame you're so obsessed with your narcissistic injury that you need to console yourself by trying to turn a good piece of music into some commodity fetish object that you think you have supreme control over. And fantasizing about torturing people who are more skilled at their craft than you'll ever be is just too pathetic for words.

Put-downs lay in the eyes of the receiver.  If you feel put down, then likely it's warranted.

But you haven't learned the first thing about music if you haven't learned that it's like air or sunshine.

I did learn and happen to know quite a fair deal about air, sunshine, water, music, language  & all the likes cuz i'm observant like that by nature - always been. Air isn't like sunshine, nor is music like either of those.

It's here for every last one of us to love in our own way.

And your 'own way' is what provides a handy taxonomical tool.  If you object to the category your natural predilections plop you into, then you likely have a disorder of the self-delusional kind.

Now, let's unpack the fallacies in this last statement, shall we?

1) "...your 'own way' ...provides a ...taxonomical tool."

Whose own way? "Your own" as in "one's own"? Or "your own" as in "my own"? Taxonomical tool? What? You think you can tell a homo sapien from a neanderthal from a troglodyte by observing their taste in music?

If so, that's some serious narcissism going on.

2) "If you object..."

Who's objecting?

3) "...to the category your natural predilections plop you into"

Again, who's "you"? How would you (you wooster or the abstract observer, "one") know what anybody's 'natural predilections' are by reading a post on a forum?

4) "... blah blah... delusional."

Yep. Armchair psychiatry to go with that quasi-Kantian armchair anthropology (your taxonomical tool. lol)

And what does any of that have to do with some cello player you've stated you want to torture?

Yeah, only people who have studied musical theory and have attempted to play an instrument are allowed to offer such a scathing criticism of a good musician. 

 LOL the fuck, "allowed"??  I dearly hope that was your attempt at sarcasm,  but somehow i sense you were being serious. In that case it's about as ridiculous as saying only those with a PhD in quantumphysics are allowed to weigh a loaf of bread on a kitchen scale.  Or maybe just music is so far out of your reach that you regard it as i regard quantumphysics. 

Guess what - everyone with half a brain and a functional pair of ears is allowed to offer any kind of criticism of any musician. Evaluation of musicians is a topic akin to "what's for breakfast" as far as i remember. (And not only because i grew up with a bunch of classical musicists / musicologists, altho that may have given more exposure indeed.) 

But I can admit that the guy is good.

Nope, he isn't.  If you listen through at least 4 - 5  different recordings of the cello suits by good cellists,  you'll agree that he isn't quite that good at all.  But that's beside the point - we don't even get to figure out his abilities as he butchered the piece into revolting showbiz turd. And that's why his hands should be chopped off, not for not being exceptionally good.  He would need to play it as it is to give us a chance to gauge his actual abilities.

" A Cello "Song"???  For fuck's sake...

Way better than I'll ever be.

What kind of measure is that? LOL. You're not a cellist, I'm not a cellist, in fact most people are not cellists. By that logic, that guy is a way worse mother than you (or we) are & will ever be. 

You're the fool who's making this a battle. You look so sad when you try to fight about music.

Might be fight in your head. In mine it's the kind of small talk what online forums are for. 

Is it the same thing that keeps you from posting vocaroo clips when the rest of us get singing?

Wrong question - it's not about keeping me from, but about what's the incentive??   Do i really come across as someone to be arsed with all that extra shyte?  Typing out the odd post is where i draw the line between fun & work. I don't even listen to vocaroo clips, let alone contribute.  I did check out Commi's,  Obsi's & Demon's uploads out of curiosity back on pf (all were good BTW), but that's about it.  Y'all seem to be hard up for social interaction IRL if you ask me.

(That said, i'm still working on bullying Gribley into uploading his best "Ferrari Overtaking in a Sharp Bend", "Anguished Glasgow Separatist" and "Fish" impersonations in vocaroo clips... never say ne'er ;)

Lest you haven't noticed, we are on the internets in a non-financial type of piss-taking exchange so there's no cause for battle as far as i'm concerned. Never been the militant sort.

Can't pronounce the letter R?

Fuck me, i still can't. It passes okay in french & english though, but not in my mothertongue.

Nope. Just quoting you. So quit trying to deny what you wrote.
