Murph Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I didn't want to kill the hate in the other thread. But..... Hannah Montana, and the Jonas Boys are making music popular to my 8 year old daughter. Not Rap. Pop. Like The Beatles. They were a pop band. And The Monkees. And Elvis. And The Who. And The Kinks. And The Beach Boys. I don't see the problem. And those Jonas Boys are playing Gibsons. Sorry man. I don't get the hate. It's all about getting kids to play guitar. And that is a good thing. Murph.

tominator Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I suppose the dislike originates from an overall distaste for "artificial" corprate music, at least for me. They got the role because they fit the pretty image, and musical talent comes in second or third or .... That's not to say that I hate them as people, just extremly jealous that those lucky dogs get 7k guitars thrown at them because they work for a corpate channel. They didn't have to practice hard, or spend hard earned $ on them. And really would the kids know if they were playing a LP traditional vs the Supreme, I really don't think they have the talent to max out those guitars, since with most music of that genre has instrumentals wayy in the back seat compared to the vocals.

greatwhitenorth Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Where is the thread with Madonna playing a LP. Talk about not maxing out the guitar. Come to think of it I can't really max mine out either. GWN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homz Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 My son (who turned 9 yrs. old today) cut his teeth on Jimmy Page, Eric, and SRV. He thinks the kid bands suck, that is except Drake of the Nick show Drake and Josh. That one really plays. I do agree; however, anything that gets the kids interested in music is ok by me.

Les Paul Fanatic Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 I guess the only good thing about them is they are keeping kids away from "crap", cause if they weren't around they'd be just like these young punks nowadays wearing pants that hang down past their ***, and shirts that look like f*(kin' dresses on them.As for the pretty image, give 'em Epiphones, who's gonna know the difference.

RichCI Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 I think that any group getting kids into music is a good thing. I have no idea what the Jonas Brothers even sound like, but they play guitars and will get more kids into taking up the instrument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
