Try vinyl if you haven't already. For those of you who are asking yourselves "What's vinyl?" and then preparing to search for its definition on google so you don't have to look and/or feel stupid on this forum, allow me to save you some time and energy, you poor, unfortunate souls you. Vinyl are records. Records are played on turntables. Turntables, or better known as RECORD PLAYERS, are what produces the sound and music of a record. Capice? Alrighty, now to my point. If you are a ponderous, interpretive Queen fan who loves the music more than anything else, or if you just really like Queen without the interpretive bullshit and you have only heard or own CD's, then vinyl is something to try out. Buy or borrow a Queen record and play it. The sound, as with anything else, is amazing. The thing with CD's is that they are superficial. Sure, they are "digitally enhanced" or "digitally remastered" for quality sound and listening, but you don't get the whole sense of real listening with CD's as you do with vinyl. CD's are plastic discs that spin around, being read by a lazer. Vinyl turns slowly while a needle picks up every groove on the record, giving you nothing but the best of sound. So do it. Do it now. I demand you. A great album to get is Sheer Heart Attack for vinyl. Mmm...cardiac arrest. How sexy it sounds on a record player. If you try it and happen to not like it, you're still my bitch because, yeah. I said so. Cheers |

Take it from this aging dinosaur. CD's and MP3's, digital music may sound squeaky polished, but...you have NOT experienced the minute intricacies in sound and aural experience, depth, and warmth that Vinyl STILL has..and many a musician will tell you so as well. Digital just can NOT beat the sound of vinyl and recording software like ProTools can NOT beat the sound of analog. |

I know. That is what I actually said in my post, and yes...I agree with you. I recall a time without internet and all that fun stuff... ...and some kids can't even remember a time where they didn't have all that technology. And yet...I come online here to talk about modern technology. Sad. How old are you by the way? Cheers |

I remember listening to vinyl records in my youth as well... I still have piles of Queen, Prince and The Police records somewhere. But now that I've gotten as old as 25 years, I've come to appreciate how easy the cds are to listen to compared to vinyls, and how little there is difference in their sounds with my cheap equipment. I haven't even plugged in my turntable (or whatever you call them) for the past two years. :/ |
| LadyMoonshineDown 31.12.2005 16:46 |
;) Damn right. With so many teenies on here, I feel somewhat old myself. Well, maybe that's because I AM older, but still. If there's anything that's more pathetic than conversing with young ones on online message boards about a band, I have yet to hear it, heh. Cheers |

I remember listening to vinyl when I was a kid in the late 80's. I also remember it sucking. |

I also remember playing many vinyl recordings when I was a kid and I think I prefer CDs, though I have many vinyl stuff from classical to heavy. Good there can be both for every different taste. I'm glad that the vinyl is still alive anyway. And it isThanks to you all:) |

I dont follow any trends, unless you count the fact that im obsessed with 60's/70's rock music and culture. I have an old soul or so im told. And besides, i wish i was older... I dont like my own generation. Everything is hip-hop now. And its not pathetic you're chating with us about this. I love to hear all opinions. I wish i could have been around then, i think i was in a former life and died in a house fire. I wish i could have experienced it myself. And i got a few vinyls of ANATO and ADATR for christmas. But i dont have a working turntable. Ill have to track one down! Ive been dying to listen to them in all their glory! |

force an 8 year old to play a nes game drink new coke and listen to the beatles or queen. result to beatles/queen from 8 year old "that shit is from the 80's give me some elvis presley damnit" 13 (in a couple of days anyway) year old queen/beatles and nintendo historian(me)'s response to result: "you know elvis started out in the 50's, the beatles came from 1962(and queen from 71) dumbass!" no new coke was readily availible response to nes game. "thhhhhhhhis neeeeedsss better grrrraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaapppppppppppppppppphhicssssss" "you don't understand evolution do you, you are an idiot" this person claims to be a green day fan but told his friends to steal my dads kerry edwards sign because he was a republican! his best friend even eats pioson berrys off our trees and steals food from our garden. i plan on moving on to my 20 acres in alabama asap after i graduate from college with one of the following bissness (bacholers) programing or culinary artistry (masters) music (phd) only culinary would require going to an out of state college, but i don't want to steal the careers of my sisters. well hopefully i can get into shepard college easily. career plans well i say Boy Scout Camp ownership and manegment. |

I addressed this numerous times, not sure if I did it on here or not I think I did. Like everything kdj2hot posts it gets ignored. (You fools lol) but anyway I only listen to albums on vinyl, I even have Innuendo and the Miracle on 33 rpm LP (I would have Made in Heaven but it costs way too much so if I wanna hear that it's strictly cd and mp3) logically the sound quality isn't as good. Vinyl is an inferior format. The reason it can sound richer though doesn't have anything to do with lasers or shit but everything to do with the mix. When most artist digitally remaster stuff, the original producers or engineer is rarely involved so some aspects of the tape may be lower and not as prominent as it should be,, other subtle sounds may be absent at all. Usually with Vinyl you're hearing the original mix the way the artist and original producer meant so that's usually why vinyl sounds better than cd's. |
