Django Reinhardt - You're driving me crazy

[WijKomenBij101Barz]

just great

[lenitsoureli]

j adore!!!!

[ladesneffous]

do like it lovely django and stephen..

[dudektria]

Excuse me but, how old is this recording? How much time does it take to get that good and be recognized like Django? How many years we'll need to wait until someone half as good shows up?

How long you think your little game/movie will last?

[NYJets41]

always a cigarette in his mouth

[Georgy153]

@NYJets41 I LOVE this cover!

[Andarhoax]

In my opinion, some things should be known because they are brilliant or cults rather than because they are used in games, movies or other things sometimes stupid.

[kys125]

@Andarhoax i know right... -_- i mean i must admit...im 17 and i found out about django from bioshock but i never really considered it good cause of bioshock...this guy was amazing and like i rly admire him more than the great artists today...so yeah

[kokazp]

@Andarhoax cool thing when movies, games or other things get you to know this kind of things.

[Andarhoax]

@kokazp You're absolutely right. But I find annoying when peoples say "Oh you're playing Mafia's song!" when I play Django with my guitar. "This is not the Mafia's Theme. It's DJANGO REINHARDT, god dammit."

Do you understand what I'm meaning ? Sorry for my English but I'm Belgian n I speak French.

[kokazp]

@Andarhoax well that's true. That's a disrespect for the artist. guess they're wasting an oportunity to culturize themselves.

[mafiashadow]

@Andarhoax Fair enough, but awesome things should be known thanks to video games, rather than being ignored. (Plus, Bisoshock is not one of the stupid video games. I would suggest you try it)

[jesterbob383]

@Andarhoax well said!

[cogitoergobooom]

@Andarhoax Well that's true but you can't generalize like that. I know what you mean, but i'm not even into videogames and i've stumbled upon Mafia and although i was already familiar with the old sweet jazz\swing\blues..i was completly unaware of Django. But when i listen to Django i'm not thinking "wow mafia's song" or something like that. I just think that i was lucky to finally find this. But is very nice when brillant music is used to complete other brilliant thing (in this case, a game)..

[Andarhoax]

@cogitoergobooom I don't blame the fact they are used in games I blame the silly peoples who say "Oh, you play the song of X!"

[cogitoergobooom]

@Andarhoax well yeah that piss me off 2.

[LazyBastard69]

@Andarhoax Isn't it more important that people get to know django's music in the first place? It doesn't matter where, when or how the learn about him :)

[Andarhoax]

@LazyBastard69 Are you kidding me? They use to think like "It was made for the game"...

[LazyBastard69]

@Andarhoax They'll see that it wasn't made for the game if they look deeper into Mr Reinhardt's work. To me the games are a good way of letting young people know about his music.

[Andarhoax]

@LazyBastard69 If only they could give a fuck about Reinhardt's work. Stupid young people is stupid. I wish you'd be right..

[ruben12121993]

@Andarhoax

cause no young people listen to this and all listen to lady gaga and bieber, right ... -.-

[Andarhoax]

@ruben12121993 hmm... I don't think so. I'm only 19 and I've been listening to Django Reinhardt for around 5 years! And my ex gf Lola is 16 and she likes it too. 

[ruben12121993]

@Andarhoax

that was pretty much my point, as I'm 18 myself

[CheersToNothing]

@Andarhoax what the heck is "stupid young people is stupid", i'm 15 and Django Reinhardt is one of my idols...

[99superjesus]

@Andarhoax Nah, it's good that people find out about this type of music. Doesn't matter how.

You could argue the reason the music is in those movies/games whatever is because the music IS great.

[TheDocnshe]

Although totaly diferent styles Django is up ther with Hendricks....Genius

[jmsbk12345]

@TheDocnshe Do you mean Hendrix?

[guitar19904]

@TheDocnshe

and i think you would find that hendrix is up there WITH django !

[SoadOwnsUrFace]

@TheDocnshe No comparison. Django beats Hendrix fifty times over. With a small baton constructed from owl feathers and twine.

[Andarhoax]

@SoadOwnsUrFace I think that it isn't comparable. Django was Jazz. Jimi was almost Rock. So why compare things that do not compare? My opinion : Django was a Jazz genie. And Jimi was a Rock genie. No one beats the other it's just different.

[drmcs5]

What a fantastic artist...I wish I had live din the 30's and 40's to see him play

[mberardi11]

@drmcs5 Just for him. Not the Depression and World War, and all that stuff. (:

[drmcs5]

@mberardi11

True that

[dmdiamond220]

how is his name pronounced?

[Devinw9]

@dmdiamond220 jane-go

[sweetness11313]

@dmdiamond220

its pronounced Jango

[Andarhoax]

@sweetnessGO on google translate, in French put "djanngo rennartt" and listen. :)

[Andarhoax]

@sweetnessGO "djan go rennartt" sounds a bit better.

[LucaC1993]

Fantastic!!! Thanks for this!

[tomislavsekovanic]

Mafia II

[sergyocomand]
