Well what do you expect ? in our country we use music to sell image , cars, soap , coke, pepsi ,sex, Mc Donald's ect ect 
 

And consider how ignorant it is to use "Eminence Front" to sell high end SUVs against a backdrop of guys in $3K suites.

That was AWWWWWWWWFUL
 
 
The guitar tone, that is.

The best part of the whole video experience?
 
That's right!

EDIT: Oh, and if I were to play a bass line that complicated, I'd need sheet music, too!
 
Time to talk to Ralph on the big white phone.

Hi,
 
Seen a lot of this over the years and in various countries.
 
In Portugal, during the dictator days, there would be a lot of guitar folks asking for money in every corner and many of them would wait for the police to go around the corner and then switch songs to anything that was ... you got it! It was almost like clockwork, and even Luis Bunuel made fun of it in "Le Phantome de la Liberte" (The phantom of liberty), and I imagine that this was also popular in Spain during their Civil War.
 
In Brazil, there is a very large and successful amount of popular/folk music that is stronger in some areas and not in others. But in 1963/1964 (can I rmember that far?) Maria Betania belted out a vicious song ... "Carcara" ... and I was surprised that they did not thrown her in jail forever. The song had historical connections, so, its appearance was "safer" in some ways.
 
And then coming to America, it was hilarious and funny, hearing my first album in America on October 16th, 1965 ... Blonde on Blonde ... and the sarcasm, was insane ... you didn't have to know the lyrics to get it.
 
In Germany, on Guru Guru's "Tango Fango" album there is a satire about the music in the Eastern Block, and in some ways, the end kinda said ... rock'n'roll is out idol/god! Not many folks can even listen to that as it is very weird but it is hilarious. Let me play for you la bouchokaya! It kinda made a joke that the music on the East side of the wall was street marching band music, where as on this side of the wall, we had REAL MUSIC. GG was known to be at a lot of political things, but Mani always stuck to the fun side of it, and the like and you can check Daggelbert's Birthday (spelling) on "Dance of the Flames" to get an idea, but even then, he is already taking on greed and consumerism, so something about the music business had already changed and corrupted the German scene. (well known via AshRa/Klaus Schulze and such).

Yeah, they look nice but Maynard Ferguson was better.
 
I'm typing stuff then deleting it, so I'll stop, but I'll say this, I wonder if they realize what would happen to them if they actually shot a missile anywhere that matters.... or if they even care. The leaders probably have deep bunkers and they have proven that they do not care about their people. That crowd was probably ALL military and government types. Nationalism gone wrong again. I'm certain that a "world government" would be worse. Good (peaceful) times don't ever seem to last very long in this world. A lifetime seems like a long time but it isn't.
 
..and I said I was going to stop. I guess not.
 
Disturbing on many levels, back to football.

... so something about the music business had already changed and corrupted the German scene. (well known via AshRa/Klaus Schulze and such).

When I was in Augsburg ('71-'72), the choice was between Bayerische Blaskapellen, Schlager and Amon Düül. EASY choice there. I'd left my '63 Fender J bass and amp back in the States, so had to go with OPM (Other People's Music) instead. I bought a reel-to-reel tape deck and stereo and started collecting tapes from Munich. What those would be worth now, historically if not monetarily, if I still had them? Priceless. To me, anyway.
 
Sad to think of what I've left behind as flotsam and jetsam in my wake.

 
 
"If in doubt, twat it up into VietnAm"

It gets worse... https://www.facebook.com/MoranbongBand I seems to actually be a North Korean propaganda B page, just using the band as a vehicle.
 
Down the page is a photo of Mickey and Minnie Mouse onstage with them. I KNEW IT... I KNEW Disney was behind this!! LOL...
 
Apparently this band was created by the little dictator, no surprise there. This is classic old school communist state propaganda, just better done. I have tried but I haven't yet found what they are saying in this song. They have lots of songs.
 
This whole thing is interesting, at least to me. More: http://sinonk.com/2014/03/04/rock-gospels-analyzing-the-artistic-style-of-moranbong-band/
Also from Wikipedia: Favorable views of North Korea among Chinese people appear to be receding as well. According to a 2014 BBC World Service Poll, 20% of Chinese people view North Korea's influence positively, with 46% expressing a negative view.[3]
 
Interesting...

What a shame that potential like that is used for something like that.

I wonder if the audience realizes that their leaders aren't telling them the truth about technology
 
EJECT BEFORE THE LOCK!
