Radio1 is state sponsored, but still manages to be anything but independent. When I was a teenager, we had the treat of listening to "pirate radio" - Radio Caroline, set up to get around the music industry's demands of what to play and when. I suppose I was really getting at the fact that John Peel occassionally said things very similar to Alan's quote, "I don't like this record but I'm going to play it". Funnily the pirate stations were mostly very commercial, just less prescribed than official stations. Supposedly the perfumed garden was born from the fact that no-one knew what JP was doing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Perfumed_Garden_%28radio_show%29 (I guess most people here know this, I just like the story, and of course a long time ago that turned into Radio 1.)]]> News imalone https://guitarnoise.forum/news/i-just-knew-it-all-along/paged/3/#post-377111 https://guitarnoise.forum/news/i-just-knew-it-all-along/paged/3/#post-377064 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 15:44:41 +0000 News cnev https://guitarnoise.forum/news/i-just-knew-it-all-along/paged/3/#post-377064 https://guitarnoise.forum/news/i-just-knew-it-all-along/paged/2/#post-377010 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 10:49:57 +0000

...........but I'd rather hear something else something that hasn't been played 2,000,000 time. You don't listen to the radio, then? I used to have a job that meant many hours on the road. I'd have the radio on - mostly for traffic news,, but also to stave off the inevitale boredom of standing in traffic. If you listen for more than an hour, you start to hear the same records all over again. The total number of songs played on a day is probably about 40 - they just recycle playlists.]]> News greybeard https://guitarnoise.forum/news/i-just-knew-it-all-along/paged/2/#post-377010 https://guitarnoise.forum/news/i-just-knew-it-all-along/paged/2/#post-376998 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 02:21:24 +0000 News imalone https://guitarnoise.forum/news/i-just-knew-it-all-along/paged/2/#post-376998 https://guitarnoise.forum/news/i-just-knew-it-all-along/paged/2/#post-376970 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 09:48:57 +0000
I'd hazard a guess that the only UK DJ, in the last 30-40 years, who had any real control over what he played, was John Peel.]]> News greybeard https://guitarnoise.forum/news/i-just-knew-it-all-along/paged/2/#post-376970 https://guitarnoise.forum/news/i-just-knew-it-all-along/paged/2/#post-376967 Fri, 03 Aug 2012 01:25:31 +0000
The DJ said "I don't like this record but I'm going to play it"

Now, I don't classify a BBC Radio 1 DJ as an artist, but when a freelance radio presenter who has the ear of a large chunk of the pre-pubescent population of this country doesn't even have artistic control over his own radio show, then we're on a very slippery slope.]]> News Alan Green https://guitarnoise.forum/news/i-just-knew-it-all-along/paged/2/#post-376967 https://guitarnoise.forum/news/i-just-knew-it-all-along/paged/2/#post-376966 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 23:48:23 +0000

Actually though and a little off the topic I think I am starting to despise classic rock now that I have been playing with people. It may sound weird but every classic rock song had a solo in it but it seems anyone that I play with that can solo wants to add 3 solos for each song or extend the solo out to 2 mins and it just annoys me. It may just be me but it's like enough already we get it you can solo.

Trust me that was a big draw for me when I first heard rock n roll the guitar solo's but every song doesn't need to have one and I sometimes prefer songs without any. You'ld like playing with me, I don't like to play long solos. Get it done and move on. I suppose playing live it's a way to lengthen the songs. I don't care to listen to self indulgance either. Some lead type parts ar important to the song, some aren't.]]> News TRGuitar https://guitarnoise.forum/news/i-just-knew-it-all-along/paged/2/#post-376964 https://guitarnoise.forum/news/i-just-knew-it-all-along/paged/2/#post-376963 Thu, 02 Aug 2012 22:40:46 +0000

If there wasn't all the types of music you or anyone else despises then what would there be....there would be one kind of music and it would be boring as heck. Agree 100% - there's room for all kinds of music in the world. Just not in my house if it was made after, say, 1995.....
