Srs. I'm in a band, and am now thinking to bringing out the auto-tune.

Thank you Jesus look a like for enlightening me.

^ the funny thing about that pic is that one must certainly suffer mental infirmities to actually believe that's what he was talking about.

Grohl was addressing all the rock bands, rappers, hip hoppers, and pop stars who hide behind computers to either 'perfect' their talent or merely conceal that they have none anyways. his comment clearly (to me) had nothing to do with electronic musicians.

Deadmou5 is still a douche.

Re: Dave Grohl's acceptance speech at the 2012 Grammy's

come on, he didn't speak no big deal... and those awards? absolutely commercial results.

(I'm not saying he's not a great artist, but he is far away (very very) from the musicians I admire for what they say/do.)

Playing with [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=334"]DeadMau5[/url] is like doing a collaboration with Guetta. Also, the speech was inspired by Nevermind, FF are a fucking pop group.

I saw one of Rollins' stand-up gigs and he was hilarious.

Re: Dave Grohl's acceptance speech at the 2012 Grammy's

I thought the best part of that whole speech was that he was cut off by some dance track.

it wasn't just some dance track!

It was LMFAO !!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

[h=6]Oh, what a night we had last Sunday at the 54th Annual Grammy Awards. The glitz! The Glamour! SEACREST! Where do I begin?? Chillin' with Lil' Wayne...meeting Cyndi Lauper's adorable mother...the complimentary blinking Coldplay bracelet.....much too much to recap. It's really is still a bit of a blur. But, if there's one thing that I remember VERY clearly, it was accepting the Grammy for Best Rock Performance...and then saying this:

"To me this award means a lot because it shows that the human element of music is what's important. Singing into a microphone and learning to play an instrument and learning to do your craft, that's the most important thing for people to do... It's not about being perfect, it's not about sounding absolutely correct, it's not about what goes on in a computer. It's about what goes on in here [your heart] and what goes on in here [your head]."

    Not the Gettysburg Address, but hey......I'm a drummer, remember?

   Well, me and my big mouth. Never has a 33 second acceptance rant  evoked such caps-lock postboard rage as my lil' ode to analog recording  has. OK....maybe Kanye has me on this one, but....Imma let you  finish....just wanted to clarify something...

   I love  music. I love ALL kinds of music. From Kyuss to Kraftwerk, Pinetop  Perkins to Prodigy, Dead Kennedys to [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=334"]Deadmau5[/url].....I love music.  Electronic or acoustic, it doesn't matter to me. The simple act of  creating music is a beautiful gift that ALL human beings are blessed  with. And the diversity of one musician's personality to the next is  what makes music so exciting and.....human. 

   That's  exactly what I was referring to. The "human element". That thing that  happens when a song speeds up slightly, or a vocal goes a little sharp.  That thing that makes people sound like PEOPLE. Somewhere along the line  those things became "bad" things, and with the great advances in  digital recording technology over the years they became easily "fixed".  The end result? I my humble opinion.....a lot of music that sounds  perfect, but lacks personality. The one thing that makes music so  exciting in the first place.

  And, unfortunately,  some of  these great advances have taken the focus off of the actual craft of  performance. Look, I am not Yngwie Malmsteen. I am not John Bonham.  Hell...I'm not even Josh Groban, for that matter. But I try really  fucking hard so that I don't have to rely on anything but my hands and  my heart to play a song. I do the best that I possibly can within my  limitations, and accept that it sounds like me. Because that's what I  think is most important. It should be real, right? Everybody wants  something real.

  I don't know how to do what [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=1726"]Skrillex[/url] does  (though I fucking love it) but I do know that the reason he is so loved  is because he sounds like [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=1726"]Skrillex[/url], and that's badass. We have a  different process and a different set of tools, but the "craft" is  equally as important, I'm sure. I mean.....if it were that easy, anyone  could do it, right? (See what I did there?)

So, don't give me two Crown Royals and then ask me to make a speech at your wedding, because I might just bust into the advantages of recording to 2 inch tape.

Now, I think I have to go scream at some kids to get off my lawn.

Stay frosty.
