Fun Stuff > BAND
Having a bandmate who hates about half the music you listen to
SusurrusIgnoramus:
i think you could play off eachother... maybe even playing together will broaden both of your musical horizons...
don't write him off just yet. give it a try.
Ernest:
The friend sounds like a piece of shit
I already hate him
ALoveSupreme:
Most people I know, and most of the reactions to unpopular music on this forum is that "it sucks". I think it's just an ignorant gut reaction that people have. If he really feels that strongly, what difference does it make?
I could give two shits about 90% of the music that my band listens to, and they usually have little interest in my crap. It doesn't really make a difference once the songwriting starts.
screw osmosis:
True story:
Ed, Colin, Phil, and Jonny from Radiohead HATE "techno" music with a passion (think Modeselektor, Ellen Allien, etc.). Thom Yorke is completely enamoured with the genre. The band constantly yells at Thom when they get together for rehearsal and in their downtime, decides to play said style of electronic music out on humongous studio speakers.
True story #2:
Radiohead are a pretty successful band.
oblivion:
Have you ever noticed that it's not entirely uncommon for musicians to be involved with more than one band or project? It's allowed, legal, and OK. Rock out on the things you have in common all the while subversively working in the stuff he "doesn't like." If you can't ever get him to 'go punk,' find some different mates who do, but there's no reason to drop the first guy if otherwise you get along.
BTW, people's musical tastes change. Sometimes forcibly. I never liked punk, atonal or experimental music until I heard enough of it.
