Absolutely true,my friends,whenever i listen to something instrumental they say things like:"when are they gonna sing?", it just annoys me, i tell them that they can't hear what i perceive in instrumentals because they've never picked up an instrument and get to know how difficult it is. Instead they listen to very minimalist stuff like the strokes, the killers, and that kind of crap. All they can handle is just 3 notes in the verse and 2 in the chorus,to me that's way boring and predictable!!!

I don't find it weird, I find it disappointing... The reason most people don't like instrumentalists is because it's too complex. Too many kids these days just like rap or pop... I have a theory, if more kids learned guitar or some other instrument, they would understand the difficulty and be able to truly appreciate what great virtuosos such as Gilbert and Satch can do... Not to mention that what they do with a guitar can spontaneously impregnate women : D

I prefer instrumental music myself

@devor3 Damn right! I personally don't think singers are really necessary for any kind of band. They are just there to give the song the theme which the guitars and bass can do anyway. Just play the guitar like a singer would.

@jkalbin Man, I couldn't agree more. Older friends of mine described kicking back to just listen to a new album. One side - then the other. Visual distraction...? Maybe a lava lamp. And of course orchestras etc etc. But with complex music you have to listen, concentrate and engage.

People want background muzack really. Simple hooks, catchy lyrics- it's like music to suck your thumb by. And an aid to visual stimulation.

@devor3 Tramps that frequent nightclubs: "When are they going to sing"

@jkalbin it has Nothing to do with it being too "complex"

Most people i know Like Steve Vai in David lee roths Band

some of his solo stuff is Boring. its Good to hear a song.

I like instrumentals also But can't & Don't listen to them always.

heres MY Theory let them listen to Queer music theres already 1 Million more Guitarists than there was 10 years ago.
