I know, and understand this. I really don't care for that kind of music. Personally, I create music that I'll be able to reproduce live. It's more of an artistic integrity mindset than anything else though.

what does artistic integrity have to do with it?

I get where he's coming from, but then again, we're both old.

If you can't reproduce a song live, then, for me, it's a matter of not putting in the hours of disciplined training to get to a level of performance that will command the ability to be able to reproduce a musical piece.

I get the appeal of live performances, but the idea that it takes more talent (or integrity) to play live is off base if you ask me. they're different beasts.

I view recorded music and live music as essentially two different kinds of art, like theater and cinema. Just because Star Wars would make a lame stage play doesn't diminish what a great movie it is. Likewise with very studio-oriented music.

I can understand all that. I just have a different perspective. For 30+ years I've trained my brain to think that if I can't reproduce something live, then I'm an inferior musician. I guess it's an outdated thought process.
