Well I for one hate the Feelers and think James Reid seems like an absolute cocksucker but if it helps them gain popularity by saying that, good on them.
I mean, if you were in a struggling New Zealand band and a more well known musician showed an interest in helping you out, wouldn't you be flattered and keen to take up an offer of producing?
If I was still in a band yes, I'd rather a more admirable musician in my book would help me out, and I'd probably say no to James Reid, but I still would consider it quite heavily.
I can see why people like the Feelers. I can see why their albums go 5 x platinum. They have a broad appeal, however one that I do not like. I didn't attack anyone that likes them. Notice I said James Reid SEEMS like a cocksucker? I've seen him round, met him more than once, but don't know him that well to make a proper judgement, but hey I know enough.
He's done an ok job on the Stoods single I suppose as well.
The differences between Augustino and the feelers are much greater than they used to be. I don't love Augustino I like a few of their songs. I think they have potential, they just need to work on a few things.
I am entitled to my own opinion, after all these are FORUMS are they not? And I don't think I have to sell 50,000+ records to be qualified to have my own train of thought now, do I?
Not at all martha, everyone has opinions. But the word "Hate" is a bit harsh. To not like someones music is fine, but to attack a persons character ?? I know some people's music is terrible, there are some bands I dont like at all.
But all of them Im sure (and I remind myself of this all the time) spend a lot of time putting these songs together, Putting a band together, keeping it together and doing it for the love of it. ( most of them any way) all musicians who put themselfs in the open should be admired and supported.
//all musicians who put themselfs in the open should be admired and supported.
I wholeheartedly agree Limiter.
Perhaps I was wrong in attacking James Reid - for this I apologise.
I respect and appreciate whatever musicians have to offer. I personally of course don't like every band and every type of music there is out there, but respect that other people do like these kind of bands and they are entitled to - and of course, I can most of the time see why a certain artist appeals. This is why I don't tell Feelers and Rubicon fans they are stupid/full of shit etc etc like some people do in these Forums when they don't like a band. I was merely stating that I didn't like them, and thought it respectful that I kept it out of the Feelers forum.
So yeah, whoever is making music out there, from U2 to some garage outfit having a jam - big ups, fully appreciate your contribution to the music world. Not saying I have to like what you're doing but at least you're giving it a go.
Most bands seem arrogant and up them selfs in public, but when you get to know them, most are probably really nice people.....well...Im sure their mums like them.. :-)
i don't make statements really without having a bit of backup info. in this case i do. i shouldn't have said it in the forum but yeah, its widely known what a tosser james reid is anyway.
Anyway I think its a little unfair that we are talking so much about the Feelers when its the Stoods forum.
So I would like to let people know that Stood's first single (yes, produced by James Reid of the Feelers) is on the CD on the cover of the RIU magazine.
