Very very VERY well put. I agree 100%. People are so used to steriotypical rubish they've forgotten what music is. It isn't about getting attention from the media or any of that. It's about the art, if any band can honestly say they would gladly do their job for free, and wouldn't even want the media to have anything to do with them, then that is when you know they're true musicians. Take Britney Spears, she is what the media lives off of. She's done crazy things like making out with Madana and marrying some guy for one day just to be seen by the media. Porcupine Tree does it all for the passion of music. You can just tell how much they love the music and they're all talented in their own way, there's something great about all of their songs, some are more heavy metal than others, some are on a sadder tone, some on piano, guitar, and Steven is just a great writer. His songs have some sort of special meaning, not just drugs sex and suicide, much like what these "teenage rebelion" bands do these days. A lot of songs don't even make any

Oh, and get this. Some jouranlist, whose favorite bands are shit like Beasty Boys and Linkin Park and stuff, said that Porcupine Tree's songs sounded like stuff you'd listen to when you're playing "Dungeons and Dragons". Steven mentioned it at the concert I went to, and he said stupid people like these seriously dont know what the hell music is anymore. If you pay attention and really get into Porcupine Tree's music, it has nothing to do with Dungeons and Dragons.

Er... please keep in mind that the last time we all started discussing Britney Spears and the like, we ended up having a flame war and hating each other for a while. I don't really listen to Porcupine Tree (except for the songs that Erin sent me), but I think they sound good. My fave bands are LP and Evanescence, so... yeah. Just no flaming and shit, OK? I don't want to get in another fight.

I'm not arguing with anyone. I don't really care who doesn't agree with me, if they decide to start something with me I'll just delete their comments it's not worth getting into a fight over my opinion is my opinion and if you people don't like it don't comment on my livejournal. and I only used Britney Spears as a comparison because she's what the media lives off of, not because I thought it would piss Jackie off. I could care less if Jackie agress with me or not to each their own yah know?

Re: Porcupine Tree VS other bandsminaainoJune 14 2005, 20:04:27 UTC
and one more thing...why is britney even envolved?!! porcupine tree is a band!!! britney isnt!! shes a singer and a dancer!!! so if u do say something about porcupine tree again it would be good if u compared it with other BANDS...nough said
Re: Porcupine Tree VS other bandsfreedajewsJune 14 2005, 20:49:51 UTC
well no I'm not really comparing them to bands I'm comparing them to musicians, there are plenty of good female singers out there like Amy Grant and whatnot that have just as much talent in their own style of music.
Re: Porcupine Tree VS other bandsstop_swimmingJune 14 2005, 20:48:52 UTC
Yah... it is scary but it's so cool! AND THIS GIRL I DIDN'T KNOW SAID IT WAS AWESOME! AND THAT I SHOULD KEEP A NICKEL IN IT! then I was late for class..
Re: Porcupine Tree VS other bandsfreedajewsJune 14 2005, 20:53:34 UTC
Wow no not really I just dont see why you must get upset over me bringing up Britney in a topic that doesn't have the words "I love her" in it.
P.S. there's nothing heroic about Britney Spears. She sings and dances that's not heroic maybe idolistic to some people who enjoy her music but not heroic heros are people like parents and stuff, even people I look up to as insperations like Walt Disney and Steven Wilson aren't my heros because they haven't done anything for anyone but themselves and haven't done anything for us but that's just what I think a hero really is. That's as stupid as saying athletes are heros. They hit and throw balls and stuff and make a lot of money why is that heroic?!
