She is an idiot, this is what she said about Rush "Somehow, Rush can still sell out arenas. If I was sitting in row one, I would take my chair, unbolt it from the ground and run away." --Kaki King
Yeah, she is brilliant isn't she? Hell, I have yet to meet a musician that doesn't like Rush so she must not be one....
I don't care if she doesn't like their music, BUT a musician should be able to discern TALENT even if you don't like their music. What I care about is that she makes ambigious statments which make her look like an idiot. She is a lesbian, would she leave an ambigious statement implying or inferring she is against gay marriage? Nope...classic contradiction. It's like finding a DVD of Stevie Ray Vaugh saying Hendrix sucks, but not WHY he sucks....
Music is not about talent; it's about the music. She doesn't like the music behind Rush, just like some people don't like the music behind rap or country or rock or jazz or reading. You can have all the techinque in the world, but make no musical sense or have any soul. If music is all about TALENT these days, we should be listening to computers making music. I'm not saying Rush is bad, I'm saying some people don't like what they are trying to say, in the language of music.
Music is not about talent? So if I take a five year old who has never played guitar and have a play his frist notes while Jimi Hendrix does Vodoo Chile, you are saying listners would not notice the difference? Even someone who has never heard music before in their lives is going to notice the differnece since human minds notice structure and rhymes as patterns, whether concrete or conceptual. Talent is ABSOLUTELY discernable, taste is RELATIVE to opinion....she should see the difference....
Read the rest of my comments before posting. Is there talent in how you eat? Does the method of how you eat deteremine whether you will like a food? Do chopsticks or forks make a food alter it's taste? Pick a better example for an analogy...
Hmmm, that reply made sense. Let's use your "logic" in an analogy since you are so witty at them:
You: "2+2=3"
Me: "No, it equals 4"
You: "ooh sassy! you're the kinda guy who'd have a lynching party! "
Me: "Quick call the Department of weights and measures, addition/subtraction as we know it has been refuted by relative insults, all the bridges and structures have to be redone."
Logic is the only lynching party here, but it's really suicide since you threw yourself on the sword...
Their drummer is considered by almost muscians to be in the top 3, their bass player in the top 2, and their guitar player in the top 15 by most musicians when they are polled. If that's pure dick I would hate to see giant porn cock....
nowhere in the statement does she neglect rush's talent, and she doesnt have to make her statements 'clear' for some asshole like you to come along with this 'list' some probably bigger asshole put together based on his own opinion. YOU were innocent enough to base your argument on it not realizing theres so much more to music than rankings and opinions.
And yet clearly you haven't read all of my statements. Regarding objective logic there are only two elements to judge in terms of criteria for liking music: relative opinion and talent. Clearly she doesn't state why she doesn't like Rush so your premise that she may think Rush has talent is baseless since she doesn't specify WHY she doesn't approve of Rush, which was the basis of my argument. Research your prepositions before posting them since your leap of judgement mirrors hers in insults.
and yet you're judging a musician by what she says! who cares if she doesnt desire males or if she doesnt like rush. If your closed mind wants to base your opinion on that go ahead, it just doesn't sound very relative or relavent. you sure i'm the one contradicting myself here? And if your just trying to prove she's stupid, none of her fans really give a shit because its coming from an obnoxious ignorant fellow, that just judged a very talented musician on such a superficial argument. peace
How can an objective premise be closed minded? You haven't even refuted the objective preposition put forth. There are only two motives for comment: she doesn't like there music or she thinks they are talentless. Only a musician who is a fool would leave people thinking Rush is talentless by an ambigious statement escpecially in this industry or marketed age. She got judged by judging others, just like her fan here. At least you are specific to THINK she is talented, but Rush may not be by her..
You can't be a fence sitter and hide behind her ambguity to defend her because she lacks clarity. The only thing you are showing is that you are flying her flag, wearing her colors, and being a cheeleader for her cause since you like her music and can't seperate judgement form your bias. Point in case, for someone who claims you don't care as one of her fans, you sure respond here like you do care. People who care make efforts.....please plant bith feet in your mouth and chew sparringly..
cant you just judge her by the videos above your comments? she may have made an ambiguous statement, i get your point but honestly you cant just make your opinion of rush the moral view that should lay behind every single musician. I think the comment she made is holding you back from realizing the beauty in her music. couldnt i compare your statement to kaki's by not recognizing her talent?
piss off!!! she is pretty, im sure way prettier than you. Regardless of all that, she is out there making music and her videos on youtube whilst you just go around making negative comment.
Great song. open tuning is so much fun! Kaki is truly talented/gifted. her fingers fly over the fretboard with such ease and grace. as a guitar player myself, i only wish i had her long fingers, accuracy, agility and speed. she is totally amazing! if you enjoy listening to her, then you'll enjoy Adrian Legg, Don Ross and Michael Hedges.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
well, sounded cool, i'd like to hear her play it note for note several times ,"live".. shes got alot of tallent, unfortunately too much of it sounds like improv to me..
hate me whatever i dont care. i wont be coming back to this page.
What's wrong with improvisation, and why is it so unfortunate if she does improv a lot of her set? If she does improv a lot of her live music, then to me that just makes it more impressive.
no son, its "that was ABSOLUTELY FUCKING AWESOME!"
sweet fingerwork, its like they started dancing on the strings.
i'm just curious about one thing tho.. whts with all the background noise.. are people chatting away while she is playing? i've noticed this in your other videos too. if they are, well then... >:(
woah. since when can shred? shes a beautiful soul no doubt
