Why? It's not Disney befouling the classics, it's just some talented kids, some of whom might do something awesome at some point down the road.

They got some potential, provided no-it-all pretentious wankers don't tell them that are Doing It Wrong

Actually, I think the problem is that, while they do have some potential, several pretentious wankers (including some of their parents, some of their music teachers, and possibly some industry shark already) are already telling them how to Do it Right.

It's only "authentic" if they LOOK like AC/DC...you know, a few knocked out rotting teeth, singer(s) swigging on a bottle of hootch...
Yoko Ono isn't edgy enough!
What's depressingly scary about this, other than the poor video editing?
Do you want to rock block the next generation? Fuck it. Let the kids rock.
Because sometimes shit like this happens:

Or you know, sometimes they get the producer of the original and the thumbs up from the original band like here:

Those are fucking amazing. :)
Really, I can't put my finger on why holist has a problem with it. I'm guessing it's either
1. He assumes all music done by kids is automatically Kidz Bop
2. He-Man Woman Haters Club. Those are GIRLS singing. About TOURING, not "I love you" or "Wah, wah, I miss you."
3. He's some kind of RWHN who thinks kids should be ruled with an iron fist and not allowed to listen to or perform music by people who alter their consciousness (i.e., most musicians)
4. He's pissed off that he can't do that
or
5. Any one or a combination of the above. IOW, he's a shitheel.

Well, I can't speak for him since he has moderate success with writing music for advertisements, which, admittedly is more fame than I'll ever have, but when I saw Gauchos de Acero for the first time, the oldest one was like, 14, they had all sorts of fucking views for their homemade videos in their bedroom and my thought was "damn. Maybe I should just fucking quit." It's a stupid thought, but also an uncomfortable feeling, because you know that these damn kids are going to shoot well past you well before they're anywhere near your age. I mean fuck, look at that clip again. They're still teenagers and Bruce Fucking Dickinson is playing a shitty small stage with them. Holy shit, where did Bruce come from?
No one likes it when a snotnose is clearly doing better than you.
That thought eventually occurred to me and I was like, you know what, fuck it. These boys are doing great. Burn the place down guys.
It's like the sell out syndrome.
As soon as a group gets any level of success, they're automatically sell outs.
Well, fuck, wouldn't you sign the contract in their shoes? I would. Does that make me a sell out? Well maybe. But I started playing out because I wanted to make money off of this in the first place, right?
Success isn't "selling out". This (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nzc6ZRHMzGY) probably is, though. :lol:

This, I think, is Holist's beef in a nutshell.
Here's some kids a touch older performing Tool's '46 and 2'... they are pretty much flawless.
And watch that kid on drums at the end, I wish I was that passionate about anything. Must be pretty depressingly scary, huh Holist?

It would have to be, no? I mean, it's easy as hell to find a band of 14 year old who clearly need to go home and practice more.
Unless of course, holist's perfect pitch is somehow getting offended by some out of place microtone that absolutely no one else can hear.

Pretty early for me too, but on the bright side that means I can go and order breakfast rather than rolling out of bed unbathed and running off to school.

Imma day this. The two girls sound a little off but they are children and that is something that can improve so long as some pretentious asshat doesn't discourage then.
honestly I don't understand why anyone, especially a musician, would give him any heed about the technical aspects of the craft.
I was thinking along the lines of instrumentation but youre right. A kids going to need some slack on the singing one way or the other because their vocal cords arent done developing anyway.

Yep. Every singer I've known who learned to sing as a kid had to re-learn after puberty, and my voice instructor confirmed this when I told her I could sing as a little girl but totally lost control of my voice after puberty. She said you essentially have to relearn with a new instrument, and not only that but you also have a lot of muscle development to do to get your voice in shape. Which is why if you're a singer you need to train the time, or you'll essentially go flabby.
Which is why Beiber mentored under Usher when puberty hit.
How do I know that?

By analogy its like learning to play violin suddenly realizing your violin became a cello somehow just in time for the cello to become a double bass. Technically you know how to play it but the spacing is all weird between the fret positions (the violin family doesnt have physical frets like a guitar does) and youre playing deeper notes than you want to.
Shit gets real when it turns into a nyckelharpa.

Its funny because you said bearman has a man crush on you because hes doing the same thing youre doing with miley cyrus and it took of six tries to deliver a one liner based on that. The whole thing is funny so give me a :lulz: rwhn.
I mean ffs one of those attempts ended with me pming myself the one liner and then saying how much i hate this phone. And i really really do have this phone and its hilarious. I didnt even know pming myself was even possible.

Fortunately, you have that option. Which makes it so puzzling that you are so offended when she does speak.
I'm not a particularly big fan of Miley myself. But whatever man, she's making more money than I ever will, so good on her.
On top of that, what you see is not always what you get, especially in the music world. I could be wrong, but I think it was either NSync or the Backstreet Boys who were huge Motorhead fans.
Motorhead fans making mad bank, and probably mad poon, I might add.
Ke$ha apparently is in fact a talented artist, as evidenced by what she does for writing for others, but knows what will sell. Sell out? Hey, she's paying the bills and thensome.
Metallica. Metal. Cool. Not Metal. Suddenly uncool, but still making a shitload of money. Metal again. Up in the air. Honestly I don't like phase III, because that does seem, at least on the surface, dishonest, but hell, they're still writing stuff that people listen to and buy.
I'm probably on an island here (typical, exactly how I want it) but I have to admit, I think Miley is hot. She now falls squarely into that "dirty hot" category along with Christina Aguilera, Lil Kim, Nicki Minaj, Khia, Trina, etc etc. Sexy BECAUSE they are slutty. It's like "come over here and let me bang the AIDS right out of you."
