Frenzy, the greatest live TV performance that I have ever seen or will in my humble lifetime. Geordie Walker, sublime genius, raven, kickass bass, and the demonic hob goblin upfront. Note to all the so called rock bands masquerading in 2022 you haven't a clue.

Raja! I Fully agree with you. Killing Joke came from another age where individuality and creativity and creating your OWN record label was energised by SELF BELIEF. It all seemed to go down hill once the X Factor and Simon Cowe and other Millionaire Controllers of the musuc scene started interfering with UK music scene. ALL they seem to be interested in is singers with perfect voices to sing Eurovision contest type songs now. Sad really.

What happened to music? Record Company Executives looking out for PRETTY PEOPLE they can control and manipulate into a sellable product. As for CREATIVITY, INDIVIDUALITY, PURPOSE, well, that’s gone out of the window. That’s what happened music. Real musicians, bands, will exist. New bands will create a following on an underground level and people will buy tickets to see them live. For now, auto tune, lipsinking/ miming, looking pretty on photo shoot and on stage is the norm. Where’s the next generation of metal, punk, new wave bands? We shall wait.

@nicktaylor52646 жыл бұрын
Not true - record companies sell what sells... if they don't someone else will. The truth is, people still are making music similar to this, but people ain't buying it. The whole of human musical output has gone in a million different directions, so there aren't big genres that people coalesce around - although there are movements. The only degree of "control" that is going on is spotify (etc) algorithms that try to predict what will be popular, then promote on the basis of that. The bottom line though is that "taste" is coming from the audience, not the companies. Even TV (which I have been boycotting for over 7 years now) is driven largely by demand. Absolute shite "talent quest" shows are on TV not because they're forced down people's throats, but because people (apparently) cannot get enough of them. If I'm wrong - there's an epic money-making opportunity waiting for you. Either find or start a punk band, and do it yourself. You won't be alone though - because actually, quite a lot of other people are already doing it, but they ain't selling. My current fav is this : kzbin.info/www/bejne/i2jKk3mDjL-KotE
