I just read this frankie....

ok, heres all the things wrong with what you have just said
1. have you ever played a piece of decent trance, and looked at a piece of complicated synth hardware and figured out what would of gone in to make that piece of trance ? If you had, then you would realise it takes a lot more work and effort to do that, than make up a guitar solo with a whole 5 chords.
2. Still doesnt get away from the fact that you came into a clubber thread, that were not talking about what music is bad etc, you just came in and said outright that its crap, which is immature, and im guessing ya a 12 yr old kid, who likes to think he's big, whilst trying on his mums stockings ?

and haven't laughed so hard at a forum post. Ever. I've fiddled about with 3k's worth of synths and keyboards - a mate from work pisses about making minimalist stuff - and no, it doesn't take a lot of effort to make a reasonably decent sounding trance song. A crap chord progression, a generic beat and some shit vocal is all you need. We did it in all of about 2 hours purely for a laugh, and I assure you it wouldn't have sounded out of place on Radio 1 at 6pm on a Saturday night.
I play lead guitar in a semi-functional band, and we're pretty crap really. I promise you, hand on heart, that it is a hell of a lot harder to come up with a solo, a decent sounding chord progression and good lyrics than it does to spend an hour or so coming up with a trance 'song.' Anyone can hit three keys on a keyboard on play a chord, record it and put a computer generated drum beat behind it, but it takes a degree of skill to play an instrument like the guitar. Before you say 'you don't know shit about music' .... I played the clarinet from when I was a kid, got bored at grade 7, and I know more about music theory than most. Have you ever actually sat down and done any of things you've rambled on about, like come up with a decent solo over the top of x different chords? /me thinks not.
If you don't know what your talking about surely it's better to say nothing at all, rather than spout the total crap that you've spouted in that post? As for bodhi saying 'clubbing music' is outright crap, well, it is. It's not 'music' it's just noise, a 5 minute idea rather than something meaningful. I mean, ffs, even Norman Cook admitted it takes him about 30 mins to remix a track, and most of the tracks he's done in the past took him less than an hour to do. Get a clue eh?

] will happen. The reverse holds true as well: take a singer away from a band and give that person the perverbial 'two turntables and a microphone' and they wouldn't know whatfor either.
