Too much influence?

[module]

mmm..

nah.. everybody starts somewhere & trying to emulate those you admire is a great thing..

every great band started out trying to be like their heroes..

its inevitible that you will emulate the sound of those you admire.. from singer songwriters in the Dylan mould, to hard techno djs wanting to be better & faster than Rush..



check this out - i feel nothin for Kratwerk.. jus dont do a thing for me.. but my love of artists like NIN & Jeff Mills (waaay back when..) well, THEY were influenced by Kraftwerk, and as they influence me, i indirectly have a Kraftwerk influence..

i think its a necessary evil in finding your own sound.. i defy anyone to pick up a guitar or sampler & make sumthin totally individual straight of the bat...

like or not, we are influenced by EVRYTHING we hear, regardless of our like or disdain for it..

one of my biggest influences in music is the soundtrak to Assault On Precint 13.. go figure :D

I`m assuming that you are talking about the original film, and not the hollywood assphuck of recent years.
Man, that is one of Carpenters best soundtrack, I remember I liked it so much, I learned how to play it for my music class performance back in school when I was about 11.

the very fact that u need clearence on what version i am referring to.. ;)

seriously though.. yeah. its Carpenters version of Rio Grande that i have been extremely influenced by... a sound track consisting of jus 3 ideas that can have such substance is beyond my comprehension...

AND... the only reason it was done the way it was, is because he ran out of budget.. he wrote, played, recorded, produced & mixed the whole thing himself in about 3 days cos thats all he could afford.. 3 days studio time & no musicians or engineers.. and its amazing.. the tension.. the emotion.. its jus flawless & timeless & the first time i seen that film at about 9 years old i was blown away.. totally stunned.. and to this day, i still get goosebumps watching that film..


'there are no heroes anymore.. only men who follow orders'

take MI:III and stuff it right up your Holywood arse Cruise :D
