No Amps Were Harmed in the Making of this Video

Beastie Boys..... I wonder if they could happen in today's world, though. There was a lot
more variability in what was produced in the 80s/90s versus now. You could be low budget/DIY
and still blow up if the music was groundbreaking.

Talent Bruh, talent.

GOAT(s)

In this case it is both the personality and the music that I dislike. Blackmore was an arrogant pain in the ass that smashed guitars on the stage like an a-hole and mistreated his fellow musicians, but I was a fan

Looks more like he’s mixing cake batter than smashing a guitar.

I use an Air Fryer and a Microwave, Bro.

I was trying to use a meme that would appeal to the apparent primary age demographic of this thread….

If i understood correctly, he mentioned keeping four of those around for band practice. They definitely record a shitton with plugins - you can see Henson's signature plugin over the DAW in a couple takes.

I wonder if he’s frustrated he can’t run his signature plug-in on his QC for band practice, though…

He was quoted to say he hopes it dies. But then later clarifies that he wants boring guitar to die. Which I kinda agree because any hard rock or metal that seems to be on the radio is very formulaic (which has it's place) but it's just boring to me.

Yeah, but to me, HIS guitar music is boring.

 

[JiveTurkey]

Yeah and certainly each to their own!

I don’t know if I’m just at the age where I realize it more or the current younger generation really hates the older generation much more than we did as kids.

I mean, I’ve got more in common with GenX but still bust my dad’s balls about his boomerisms (he’s got some really stereotypical boomerisms, not really sorry about this) but there seems to be a much deeper seated “Anyone over 35 is a f*cking idiot” thing going on these days. (I’m 40)

Hard to say, what with social media/internet amplifying/exaggerating everything now.

I'm 48 and recall a fair amount of making fun of older people being acceptable in the 90s, ex. The Simpsons, Seinfeld, etc. But maybe with less vitriol, or with a funny, creative angle. Also depends on cultural background and where you are in the world, probably. I remember "never trust anyone over 30" being a thing, at some point. And the boomers themselves were pretty hard on the WWII generation, back in the 60s.

More recently, boomers (and Gen X) have brought a lot of it on themselves, I'd say, what with constantly complaining and putting down Milllenials and/or Gen Z. Sheer numbers is also a part of it, in that there are simply more boomers to get angry at and express frustration towards. Makes for a big and long-lasting target. Without getting political and just focusing on age: both recent US presidents are boomers too, that generation just doesn't seem to want to let go of ruling things in that country. Or there are no Gen Xers who've been able to break through (as they have in Canada with Trudeau).

I work with a lot of teenagers and have teenage kids, and I would agree with @la szum that "boomer" is now just a general term for anyone over 30 and/or who seems out of touch. The average 18 year old can't tell a 50 yr old from a 60 yr old. Language changes and it's not always bound to the definitions that stood when we were young, in my opinion.

Probably not a bad thing if he’s the result.

 

[TubeStack]

I had to educate him on what a "generation" is, how long they last, and what differentiates them. When I did he replied, "Whatever, Boomer!"

I love this... props to your son.

 

[TubeStack]

Probably not a bad thing if he’s the result.

It's always about liking or not liking the personality.

Yup. Like Band Rule Numero Uno: Are you a good hang, or not? It determines everything going forward.

 

[la szum]

I love this... props to your son.

Made me laugh, too.

Gen X is like the proverbial Middle Child. No one notices. Not old enough to be a Boomer, but get called one.
Not young enough to be a Millienial or Gen Z'er. We are fine with it, though. Really.

My achey knee is totally offended right now.

 

[la szum]

Haha! I wasn't aware of the fact that Justin Trudeau is secretly Fidel Castro's lovechild with his mom Margaret. My
son hipped me to that one. It resulted in a fun conversation.

(less a political comment, than a fun fact about the time we live in and the easy propagation and proliferation of
various "conspiracies)

Air Fryer makes the perfect Cannabutter.

GenX represent.

Whaaaaaat? I need a recipe or link, STAT!
