Quote:Nothing can quite get me in an @rse kicking kind of mood like hearing "scotland the brave" being played in quick time on a bagpipe. I can't help it. My bloody gets all fired up and I start feeling like I could whip just about anything or one. That, and maybe Feuer Frei by rammstein. Rammstein, I once told a friend of mine, is music to kick a** to.
The problem about people is that they haven't listened to folk music, and they just say that they don't like it. Most people that say like you don't even know how bagpipe sounds like, even though they "hate" it. They wouldn't recognize bagpipe if they heard.
I can't stand hard rock, I have tried to like it, but it just got too not-music. It sounds like someone being killed with torture.
About pop, and rock, I like very much of it, but some of it is just too simple. I'm a big fan of Coldplay, and I have most of their CDs.
I play hardanger fiddle, regular fiddle, and Great Highland Bagpipe, and everywhere I come, I see people holding for their ears, BEFORE I START PLAYING! They don't give themself a chance to like it!
The bagpipe has 9 notes, and you have constant sound from it, it might sound a little strange in the beginning, but when you stop saying it's the worst thing you can get, and try to actually LISTEN to it, it's just great.
I really like the bagpipe, and my earlier post here was meant as a joke.
At school is has happened several times that other pupils hit and kick me because of that I like traditional music. How stupid is it possible to be, when you have to be voilent because of someone's music taste?
Because of that you've heard "Scotland the Brave" and didn't like that, you can't say that all of it is just piece of poopy.
Hope this wasn't too much, but if it's something I really hate, it's people that judge traditional music before they've tried to like it
