Musicians: Are they Musicians?

kingo	Date: October 3, 2005 @ 12:57 PM Are musicians musicians or just people who play music? You decide.
BlackMage	Date: October 3, 2005 @ 1:08 PM I'd say, who make music. The question is: what is music?
leplume	Date: October 3, 2005 @ 1:11 PM Music is the noise that comes when things bash with thoughts and stuff gets plucked and pounded on in sometimes a rhythmic manner or not and then also there can be singing or humming occasionally which can be nice but not always. I think that about raps it up!
GeneHilbert	Date: October 3, 2005 @ 1:12 PM Musicians feel the passion and the fire and can not be separated from that....... Only death or severe paralysis in the physical world prevents us from taking the stage in performance or continuing to pursue that of creation. It is their purpose of being..... There is no division between the musician and the person - that is their identity. That curse is theirs alone… all and consuming. People who play music are just that.... It is not their life.....

Snoogans775	Date: October 3, 2005 @ 11:12 PM hmm, he may have, but he didn't mention the fact that all musicians excrete a secret chemical through their Meddula Oblongada that is used to make Turkish Delight!
DJChillie	Date: October 4, 2005 @ 4:05 AM I shal never look at a Turkish Delight in the same way ever again... Now if we're going to start talking philosiphy we'll need joints
zedsalt	Date: October 4, 2005 @ 12:25 PM I'd rather pipe it; papers cause cancer. I think the essential element that makes one a musician is the fact that he/she makes what he/she considers to be music. They used to tell us in Creative Writing class, ANYONE who writes is a "real writer"; now as to whether or not he or she is a GOOD writer...
blueyes2112	Date: October 4, 2005 @ 12:27 PM For me a musician is someone who can play their own original music or someone who can put their own turn on a cover of a track!! afterall we could easily copy other musicians work but then we wouldnt be musicans?!!!! think that makes sense
2step-4eva	Date: October 4, 2005 @ 6:36 PM art in my opinion is anything which has no practical purpose (but is deliberately created). music is any sound which is art. but coming back to the original question, are builders really builders or are they just fat blokes who build stuff?
Snoogans775	Date: October 5, 2005 @ 12:31 AM well, before we address this next problem, "practical" can be shit, having a good song to express oneself is much more practical that a screwdriver if you're having enough trouble with that emotion. and for those fat blokes, they be fat blokes.
victorsskull	Date: October 5, 2005 @ 12:42 AM I just push down on strings and pluck them and then type and copy and paste and record and pause and stop and stuff like that
TameasDust	Date: October 5, 2005 @ 3:54 AM mu·si·cian (myū-zĭsh'ən) pronunciation n. One who composes, conducts, or performs music, especially instrumental music. [Middle English musicien, from Old French, from Latin mūsica, music.
kingo	Date: October 5, 2005 @ 8:18 AM "especially instrumental music." -- wtf?
MindSculpture	Date: October 5, 2005 @ 8:56 AM Musicians are only jumped-up drummers!
leplume	Date: October 10, 2005 @ 8:08 PM I just like pounding on things.
kingo	Date: October 10, 2005 @ 8:15 PM Hey, cool, I like it when things pound on me.

evansorchid	Date: October 10, 2005 @ 11:06 PM You can tune a guitar, but you can't tuna fish.
tooles	Date: October 10, 2005 @ 11:54 PM I think anyone who devotes all or part of their life to music is a musical person. You can be a musical person if you spend an hour a day tapping your foot to your favorite tunes. But if you don't communicate this musicality back to other people, you are not a musician. Being a musician is being able to create a musical link between two people.

evansorchid	Date: October 11, 2005 @ 12:33 AM Once again, a thread has been successfully disected and it has been discerned that everything simply boils down to copulation.

"What did you do on Earth?" "I was a musician. I helped make sad people happy." "You can load in through the kitchen."
EtherEclectic	Date: October 11, 2005 @ 1:58 AM i prefere the term "abuser of isntruments" if my guitars could speak they would call dr phil... i play with them rather well, but maliciously violate them... i think i have said too much
snotjello	Date: October 23, 2005 @ 7:44 AM Zedalt said: I think the essential element that makes one a musician is the fact that he/she makes what he/she considers to be music. ---------- snot replies: I agree. You're a musician if you think you're a musician; that doesn't necessarily mean others like to listen to you.
GreatGooglyM...	Date: November 5, 2005 @ 5:47 PM Like Lunitari said, what is music? Basically, someone could consider sound of a drill as music. So, a construction worker who's using the drill would be the musician. In this case without any "traditional" musical talents. So, generally speaking there's no definition for a musician or music. However, in my opinion, musician is a person, who seeks higher level of skill on the instrument (whatever it is), new challenges, does something that is considered impossible or unorthodox, makes people feel anger, love, hate, euphoria, anything, doesn't settle for the mainstream music, but explores different possiblities and aspects for making music, and of course, has fun!

imemine	Date: November 5, 2005 @ 9:01 PM ....OR NOT! ~The keeper of cheese-- Compliance administrator for the Duke of Havarti.
K3VIN	Date: November 5, 2005 @ 9:18 PM definition of a musician is im guessing someone who plays music or makes it id think.. is this like a spoof of djchillie?
HenriRoger	Date: November 6, 2005 @ 5:56 PM Musicians are just simple manual workers deserving getting more money in general !
