Please Stop The Whining

[Matt]

I've had enough of this crap about people whining about how the new Matthew Good + Ryan Dahle project is different. It's not "Matt Good", blah, blah, blah. Didn't anyone notice the reason on the end of the name as to why the project isn't Matthew Good? The whining is hypocritical too, ironic really. I have seen many Matthew Good fans complain about people losing interest in Matthew Good's solo career, saying that Matthew Good changing should not change whether or not someone enjoys the music, etc. Yet, now, Matthew Good does something new and some of the same people are complaining. I say just enjoy the song or not, just after you've stated your opinion leave it at that, please.

 

With that being said, I decided to create a board for the new project... here...

[Mouko]

I couldn't agree more. Nice post.

[Andrew]

Great Post.

[Ravenous Yam]

I too agree. I also really like his latest stuff. It's fun.

Edit: This is Yasa, Yam didn't sign out.

[cavalier_eternal]

agreed. totally.

 

why don't people appreciate things for what they're worth?

 

artists are allowed to do whatever they want. criticize if you will, but who are you to judge? if they're extending themselves as artists or making a point or something, then it's worth it.

 

edit: i can't reply on that forum, and i don't feel like signing up...

 

meh.

Well I'm glad some people agree so far. ;)

 

But about joing the forum... I've made it so all you have to do is fill out a registration form and then the user should be able to start posting immeaditely...

[cavalier_eternal]

so basically i'm just a moron.

 

duly noted.

 

touche.

 

i'll try that.

[Maverick]

yah, the whining can be annoying... yet is welcome if there's some credibility to thee argument...

 

I'm kind of tired of the whole: "this is shit...."

 

If you don't like it, tell us why and be civil.

[Dan #1]

It is agreed on then.

People are obviously entitled to not like something, but Matt Good is entitled to make whatever he wants, and I'm happy he has a wide variety of music styles. I hate when people talk about how their opinion on the music is fact, and that since they think it's bad, your just being tricked since you think it's good.

[ze0ro]

Different doesn't mean bad.

Singers and bands that I enjoy the most are the ones who actively explore new avenues in their music. Bands like Hootie and the Blowfish are boring, as each album - each song, in fact, sounds exactly the same. However, such bands as the Smashing Pumpkins constantly changed their style, and while many fans did not approve, it was still an excellent move. Similarily, Matt changes his sound with every release, and it's fantastic.

[no yu begin wher i end]

I agree 100% with Matt. This is a new band. Typicaly, a band is when the members share ideas with each other to create music. So all the complaining that this "isn't Matt Good" is nothing to complain about, when it's the truth. It's Matt Good and Ryan Dahle.

[penismightier]

its not necessarily a band mind you. Its the two of them, that doesnt mean its a band.

[no yu begin wher i end]

A band, duo, either way, they're working together on this project.

"why don't people appreciate things for what they're worth?"

 

This is a sad comment because you don't have to love everything you hear just because it's music. I don't like rap, I don't like country...why should I appreciate it for what it is worth when it is obviously worth nothing to me.

[cavalier_eternal]

if it's worth nothing to you, don't appreciate it then, i guess. but you are missing out due to close mindedness.

 

and there are standouts to every genre, even when the genre itself is mostly garbage.

 

i don't like country. at all.

 

i do like tom petty and the heartbreakers, however.

 

i don't like rap. at all.

 

but i do like project wyze, dead celebrity status, and sage francis.

[rmak]

i guess we're gonna have to agree to disagree on not agreeing about disagreeing over our agreement of the agreeable nature of this song which i agree is quite good

[failingtherorshachtest]

cavalier_eternal you don't have a clue. you say I have "close mindedness" even though you are saying what bands you despise.

[ecnarf]

Agreed, if people don't like the music, they don't have to listen to it.

[Kayriss]

Does anyone else remember a post on the Mblog a while ago that said that matt was forming the new band to exercise his Indie rock deamons, or somthing to that extent? (paraphrasing heavily)

 

Doesn't that imply a little that he'll be keeping his other projects going at the same time?

[Truffle Pigs]

yeah,something like that I guess......

You missed the point completely. He's saying that if you don't like the music thats fine, as long as you don't enjoy it based solely on the music and not because its classified as a different band, style, genre ect.

[pvnc]

Um, something tells me that failingtherorshachtest won't read or care about that.

 

 

...

 

 

Perhaps due to the fact that he's banned.

[mrs jesus]

i do like tom petty and the heartbreakers, however.

tom petty is not, and has never been country

[Fluxuation]

Is it surprising the only one moaning was banned?
