What age do you think you will die?

I saw Dave Lee Roth in '87ish, he abseiled down from the roof of the NEC into a massive boxing ring then got carried to the stage through the crowd on a surfboard, actally crowdsurfing, geddit?.....fucking stupid, but yeah, playing the role to perfection...

Think it was about the same time Alexander O Neill used to come on stage in a giant 4 poster with red satin sheets.

Hip-hop is as outdated and embarrassing as cock rock was in the nineties, yet the (mainly) white music media is too full of shame at its own institutionalised racism and bourgeois post-colonial guilt to admit it.

thats a far too generalized statement... theres good hip hop about thats not embarassing etc. DJ Premier is a fucking genius. commercial hip hop is utter shit though

...Whereas autotune...I've seriously yet to hear an autotuned song that wasn't cheapened by the autotune.

Thing is, probably every song we hear now has some bleedin' correction going off. And not just for vocals either. Sure, it can be bloody obvious (and painful), but it's more subtle use for correction is everywhere.

What a gentle drift this thread has taken.

I was always a bit of a fan of the cracked and somewhat outta tune vocal meself. Can't say I notice autotune stuff cos I probably don't listen to any. Surely if a singer can't sing and doesn't have the soul to carry a cracked vocal they're a pretty face and fly-by-night corporatune whore at best and as such only noticed by preteens and the like, no?
 
I always thought it was Neil Young. Given both would've been using such a lyric at around and about the same time it's most likely from elsewhere entirely then... Neil Young definitely used that in a lyric though. Evidence. Also one of me alltime fave NY tunes from one of me alltime fave NY albums as it so happens :)

Maybe like Janice Joplin got it off Neil. or maybe I got the wrong 70s icon.

A part of a lyric from the song, "it's better to burn out than to fade away," became infamous in modern rock after being quoted in Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain's suicide note. Young later said that he was so shaken that he dedicated his 1994 album Sleeps with Angels to Cobain. Because of Cobain's suicide, in live concerts he now emphasizes the line "once you're gone you can't come back".

Also quoted in Highlander amongst other things apparently. Just one of those genius formations of wordage that's passed into the collective consciousness to such a degree it almost doesn't matter who said it first really.

Couldn't find any Janis Joplin references to it but that hardly matters as she did it rather than said it. Could just as well have been written about her rather than by her... Or about plenty peeps around those "Curse of the 27" days :\
 
I was going to say I thought it was from Kurt Cobain. I was half right.
 
I've never seen myself alone at 30 in my mind so if I'm alone at 30, I guess I will seriously ask myself a question "what is the purpose of you still being here?".

Lot of pressure there then adder. How old are you now? Are you male or female out of interest? This isn't an asl lol I'm just curious.

Aye, you definitely did get the wrong icon.

Janis Joplin had been dead for around eight years by the time Neil wrote that lyric (or at least released Rustb Never Sleeps, on which it made its debut. But hey... I hate to be a killjoy.
 
Not sure if I've posted here. But I hope to live to an old age, I haven't really used any harmful drugs excessively to cause damage and don't really see, unless I get an illness, my lifespan being shortened. I just hope that it keeps positive and is fulfilling rather than get boring, but time will tell.
 
i want to die at an age where i'm not totally incapacitated by my failing mind and body and poorness. seen it happen to grandparents and don't want that myself. so around 60, from a short-mid term illness that gives me time to tie everything up.
