    I don't think I could deal with it if it was somebody I really did see like Hendrix or Keith Moon and John Entwhistle or John Lee Hooker or any of the many others I've seen who are gone. It would just be too weird.

    That is kinda mean.




    Has no one seen Vanilla Sky by Cameron Crowe?
    I didn't take his comment that way at all - like HFD said, hypothetical and entertaining ;)

    I tried to watch that film, by the way...I really tried.

    Are you a philistine?

    Forgive me if I don't get the connection - what does this even mean?

    Looked it up and...

    1: a native or inhabitant of ancient Philistia (nope)
    2often not capitalized a : a person who is guided by materialism and is usually disdainful of intellectual or artistic values (nope) b : one uninformed in a special area of knowledge (well hell...who isn't?)

    So again...seems out of left field unless I'd get your reference had I watched Vanilla Sky - or someone's taking a seemingly unnecessary shot at me.

    Sure hope it's the former!

    Really do you want to play?

    In the fields of philosophy and æsthetics, the term philistinism describes the social attitude of anti-intellectualism that undervalues and despises art, beauty, spirituality, and intellect; ‘the manners, habits, and character, or mode of thinking of a philistine’. A philistine person is the man or woman who is smugly narrow of mind and of conventional morality whose materialistic views and tastes indicate a lack of and indifference to cultural and æsthetic values. Since the 19th century, the contemporary denotation of philistinism, as the behaviour of ‘ignorant, ill-behaved persons lacking in culture or artistic appreciation, and only concerned with materialistic values.


    I really love Cameron Crowe's movies.

    No. yguitarw trips to saying about eddie to live AND die.

    This thread fascinates me in several ways:

    -Hugh's concept of hologram concerts is wildly interesting,

    -The double Eddie idea is wildly imaginative,

    -Rollings diction and creative spelling are wildly lettered and Mr. Holo Risin wildly hilarious,

    -Staysea's and Hedonist's interchanges are wildly confusing,

    -and AMT has been just flat out wild lately.

    NOT ONLY WOULD I GO, I'D ASK FOR AUTOGRAPHS! :roll:

    I felt dirty going to watch Ian sing with the Doors as good as that was. Why in the world would I go to see a hologram when I can watch a dvd in the comfort of my own home and drink and smoke and make it feel real.

    Nah, he'd be talking about our eventual end and breaking through to the other side. ;)

    I thought it was going to be just the artist not with the live counterparts.
    I think I would pass on that and invest in more albums instead.

    That would be such a trippy thing to see. Damn... one could even put all your favs on stage at one time. Make a super, super band - Jim with Jimmy with Janis, etc. (an all J band???).

    Definitely need to be in the right frame of mind to see that! ;)

    And one duet-ing with one's self? Wow..... :mrgreen:

    look up the video on youtube of Snoop Dogg and Tupac. I don't like rap at ALL, but that "duet" was something to see. and the hologram looks nothing like the princess lea "you're our only hope" hologram. Tupac looked like he was really there.

    regardless if anyone thinks this is a dumb idea or not, do you see anything morally or even legally wrong with doing this? I mean, who has the legal right to use someone's past real live performance and pass it off as current?

    as a musician, I don't know how I'd feel about that possibility.

    :P

    This whole topic raises many thought-provoking questions. The selfish side of me would get off on it (though I get even flow's comment about doing it from home - much why we don't see movies in the theatre but from our convenient little nest).

    The other, more practical, side of me understands the ramifications - ethical, legal, etc. - and wonders how this would work if actually played out. Is it up to the estate?

    Michael Jackson's family has released footage of him pre-death (a film too, if I recall correctly).

    "Free as a Bird" was released via the Beatles' anthology series, based on lyrics Lennon wrote before he died.

    I guess it's up to the family of the deceased, or based on any wishes they might've made while still alive...?
