True. But then again, NO ONE in techno gets the respect they deserve. Otherwise the MTV Top 100 wouldn't be so full of crap.Quote:

i dont think Frankies comments are coming from a sales point of view, i think he just genuinely feels that schranz and most of that euro techno stuff is cheapening the scene that he has helped, undoubtedly, to shape....
i agree with nearly all of his points i have to say.... altho i dont have the same personal feelings towards schranz, i really dont care for it enough to get worked up over it even in a negative way...
gotta remember people like Frankie were laying down beats literaly before some of todays up and coming/new producers were even born, and thats the truth, and to see and feel that these kids are doing better than he whilst putting in about half the effort as he may feel he does, well thats gotta grate a bit for him, and he's one of the most outspoken artists around so he's going to have these outbursts...
but yeah where is it from? an interview i gather as much....
Negativity isn't good on a whole, but hard words do make some people think and wake up from time to time. I'm not down with people who just slag and have nothing to back it up with, or who make no contribution to the scene... Bones does back his shit up though.Quote:

Yeah, his records seem to do fine in Europe. I think he just reckons a lot of stuff sucks...Quote:

Can someone please tell me where this came from? Because I find this to be very funny.....and that's all I'm gonna say about this topic....
Just wanna know if this was an interview in a magazine-or if this was him ranting on discogs again....I really am curious......
Thanks ;)
Discogs. Check the topic name:
"Why has every style evolved into one big pile of shite?"

LOL! He's kind of right though. BTW I have the utmost respect for Mr Bones and all he has done for the scene over the years, but he should be careful slinging mud at Germany's producers as many of his own productions have consisted of sampled loops taken from other people's tracks. As a DJ he has right to complain, as a producer he should shut up and start writing.
I've heard americans, or amercan kids at least, have been spoiling peoples experiences on Xbox Live, taking the piss out of their accents and stuff, does that sort of thing happen to you then?Quote:

Ah right, I remember a mate of mine went to holiday in america and kids were asking him if he knew the queen and if he was having tea with the queen and all that, sounded pretty funny, the way he told it.
didnt know bones takes other peoples samples?Quote:

Yea...kinda figured that.....he seems to talk a lot of stuff on discogs. While I can see his point (sort of)-I really think he needs to simmer down a bit....he's starting to sound like a bitter old man....oh and another thing-he sometimes tends to act like he's the ONLY one who is responsible for the US scene-while there are a few others that helped it along with him (not saying any names here)-but at least those people arent still riding on the whole 'Storm Rave' wagon-Frankie seriously needs to move on. Oh, and he needs to stop blatently stealing other people's tracks too-like where's the originality in that? And what right does he have to complain about music being shit now, when his has always been shit? (imho) I'll probably get flack for this comment, but for once, I really dont care....I'll admit that I've never been a fan of his music-if I wanna play the bells-or any other track he's stolen, I'll just play the original. Out of that whole crew, I've always respected Adam and Heather Heart-those 2 at least know when to move on and progress with the music and not bitch about why the music sucks....Quote:
