Remaking the band

#1

I was on this reading some of the comments and it got me thinking about the "dinosaur"bands that was being talked about.

What would happen if the band decides not to play anymore as they are too old? I thought if it was me, I would probably want my band to continue even if I got too old.

So I wonder if any band ever thought about potentially replacing the whole band but maybe with the original band members still writing and creating some of the music for the stated “new” band and managing the said new band.

Just a thought and one that probably would not work.

There have been some “revivals” but mostly totally failed.
Most of these old bands stuck to their style.
eg. ABBA.
I was listening to these 2 published “new” songs, but NO!

They were fantastic in “their time” but not in our days.
The taste has changed.
The young ones like other music.
Not me, but I don’t count.
I am not important, I am no customer of “new music”
But a funny idea :
What would happen
if Ludwig van Beethoven, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Franz Schubert
had to listen to the “modern music” of our days? :laughing:

Computers and tech will do anything. On YouTube, no one will be able to tell the difference between the original and the hologram :upside_down_face::

I will say that it would be interesting to listen to those folks if they were here today with some of the other and playing some of these new instruments and being influenced by the new taste as well as the old taste.

Ludwig van on the Hammond!
I am sure he would beat all competitors when “free improvising”! :rofl:

Do you know that there were real contests in his era ?
Two famous pianists were given a short theme and they had to improvise on stage.
Such performances were very popular in the times of LvB.

Performing such events today, would help to find out the real musicians . :joy:

Heck with the audio recording studios, they can make me sound like a good singer. LOL

Of course, not only a singer, even a drummer, a pianist or a guitarist. :joy:
That’s the honest, artificial music of our days.
So. : Only stage counts for me.
All other performances are not worth to talk about and listen to.

I heard plenty of concerts that sounded bad singers as well.

I don’t see the point for music bands to exist any longer, all the best music has already been written and recorded and out of copyright. It’s just a fiddle to extract money.

You will never find more information @professor.
We were a band of teeny pupils.
Well known, but there are no recordings.
I kept some articles my mother saved from the local news papers.
That’s all which is left.
But remembrance is important, nothing else.
And my humble knowledge about music, instruments, amps etc.

Agrre that the most revivals are worse than songs from the past. But there are some new songs I like. For example:

I heard the new songs the other day on BBC one. And ick. Too much gimmickary… trying had to capture sound from their earlier success but through digital manipulation (at least that how it sounds to me).

Hard pass…
