If a rock band throws a TV set out of a hotel window, it's seen as anti-Establishment.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Ideally, musicians belong outside the Establishment. When they cross that line, it's like something in them has died.
Initially, electronic music was anti-establishment, as punk rock and rock n' roll were. The music was shut down; the police were against the parties.
I think musicians should stay off television generally.
People like to let loose at rock concerts and it gives them an excuse to do it in a way that is not destructive to others and not really destructive to the band.
Kids now are so used to surround sound and the power in theater speakers, that the concert hall is a disappointment to them.
Most recently we've been working in concert situations rather than clubs. because there aren't too many rooms there like Ronnie Scott's, that are pure music rooms, where people come specifically to listen to music.
People bring camera phones into comedy shows and clubs and concerts, and sound bites never come out right.
The fact that you can't base a coffeehouse on any other rock band is the other rock bands' problem, not mine.
Anti-parent music seems to be all the pop-rock market wants.
Compared to what they were, rock concerts now are like business meetings.
