You really are brain damaged from that junk. At least the handicapped are fun to watch..... Oh and one measly festival hardly proves anything. If it did then bluegrass would be the king of radio and record sales judging by the attendance for the Walnut Valley Festival every year.

So what you're saying is that you DON'T know when to admit you're wrong.

Okay, you answered my question. Thanks. Glad to know you have little to no clue about the state of the current music industry.

To be honest, it's pointless now to debate this with a guy who considers Quiet Riot a metal band, but would not consider Dream Theater to be one. I think to make any progress with this you'd actually need to know the subject matter first.

Thanks for the casually slung insults and name calling too, shows some amazing character. Amazing, how behavior like that on the interweb is simply "button-pushing", while on the streets it would more likely get you swung around by your mustache.

Oh, but you put smiley faces! Obviously insults are A-OK if you put smiley faces, right?

Yeah, it's funny - you say something wihout using them, and people go apesh*t over your perceived 'seriousness', while they themselves hide truly meant cr*p behind a painted smile. Back in the old days we had to guess, and remember what people said before, so you could put remarks into some context. All gawn.

What's selling better is probably a very local thing, I've seen vids on youtube with metal concerts with a spectator crowd of 2, for jazz I can just walk into a quiet night here in the Bimhuis, and buy a round for the whole house maybe, without breaking the bank. Other nights it's packed. Wacken's HUGE, but takes an enormous playlist to get all that attention. Some of those bands probably would not get a full house on their own, there's always a few 'new' or 'regrouped' fillers. Sometimes I'm amazed at all the ex-member from this and that band in soundclick profiles. Truly great name b(r)ands have the same lineup for ages. Think with jazz that's an entirely different world and parlance altogether. They've all 'gigged' with celebs at one point in their life, or played as support instrumentalist during such and such tour.

Lots of things in common, but also great differences.

So what you're saying is that you DON'T know when to admit you're wrong.

Umm...that would be a no. When I'm wrong you'll be the first to know.

Okay, you answered my question. Thanks. Glad to know you have little to no clue about the state of the current music industry.

Good luck with that argument.

When you know the subject matter come back and we'll talk about it. But keep up the fantasy. The world needs dreamers.

Yeah, I have this nasty habit of calling a white washed fence, a white washed fence, a den of vipers, a den of vipers, and a liar, a liar. Can't imagine where I picked that up.

A nice trick if you can pull it off. But since metal is your thing, I'll assume you're too busy painting your nails to bother with little ole me.

They're supposed to make the insult worse, but apparently you can't take a hint.

Lol. Funny stuff!

Yep, the real man is a Jazz man. Oh sure, the hot young chicks seem to go for just about anyone else, but that's the price a real man's gotta pay.

It's a shame, but jazz, bluegrass, and folk are the last refuge for a man who wants to play music and still act like a man.

Lonely at the top, isn't it?

I'll ask God when I see him again. I was in a bit of a haze the last time. Sleep will do that.

Well ask Him to give poor Xfusion a sign when you do see him.

We should have thought of that from the beginning.

A sign?!?! Ask Him to tell Xfusion that if he doesn't post a link to a tune he risks eternal damnation in the fire pits of hell...

BTW, is it me or is it becoming evident to others that Joe Bravo and ArrowHead are actually related? You know, ArrowHead is the head-banging rebellious son, Joe Bravo is the grizzled old rock/blues guy... they never meet eye to eye....
