  • There's enough room for everyone and everything inside music. Why argue over it? You might as well have a row over spinach.

    Having said that, Coldplay suck, and I can prove that in a laboratory.

  • Ahh, there's a little hate! The number of haters is much larger than that of the creative musicians, I suppose, so there goes another.

  • I knew both of these gentlemen and their music is part of the soundtrack of my life.But I truly understand that Derek and John (both fine "conventional" musicians )were speaking a certain interactive musical language that's understanderbly incomprehensible to the vast majority of people.One can appreciate this on a certain level perhaps but appreciation requires an understanding of what they're trying to say.People thought Bud Powell couldn't play the piano. .Keep an open mind!

  • GREAT !!

  • Lettuce be reality. This requires no skill whatsoever...

  • i only have one comet to make why did you nots use a da black drum sticks ?? They would have Vanished in the dark background in which was dark ok? ok

  • Great.

  • @TheLydianRocks First of all, he isn't playing free jazz. Second of all, you're obviously very unfamilliar with this style of music, so you couldn't make a judgement worth shit on it in the first place.

  • OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • horrible

  • @TheLydianRocks Well, if you knew much about Derek Bailey you would know that he was a fluent traditional jazz guitarist in his early career. No John McLaughlin by any means, but Bailey set out to create an entirely new language for the guitar, utilizing extended techniques that shunned almost every precept of jazz and in the process gained the admiration of such virtuosos as Pat Metheny, Bill Frisell, John Zorn, Tony Williams, and so on. But I guess those guys are all posers, right?

  • ha poser wannabes, enjoy listening to a guy who clearly tricked all you wannabe avant garde douches into playing "lets pretend" with him..jazz my ass, true free form jazz requires a deep amount of knowledge of scales modes, inversions and understanding of time signitures, thats why it looks like its random but sounds beautiful. the fact is this guy (from watching his hands) is clearly just doing what i used to do when i was 11 with my dads guitar in front of a mirror before i knew anything
