It's easier to play aggression and malevolence onscreen, often, than to hit softer notes.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I come from the home-grown punk ethic, where it doesn't matter if you can't play a note, it's how you communicate.
It's easier when you play. You get your emotion out. You scream. You yell. You do whatever you want. You play. But it's tough to sit.
Any play is hard to write, and plays are getting harder and harder to get on the stage.
I agree totally with Metheny regarding the sound influencing the way you play.
Video games offer violent messages, and even the sports video games include taunting and teasing.
I play more rhythmically than I do a lot of notes.
I never use notes, they interfere with me.
It's always difficult to play a scene of physical violence because you're always afraid that you don't know your own strength and might hurt someone.
Most screen violence is tedious.
Aggression only moves in one direction - it creates more aggression.
