J. Dan Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 The girls in the video sure seemed to like him. Although I question if he's really a keyboard player watching his hands and listening to the music.

MathOfInsects Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 I thought this guy was a parody act, since he went with "rock and roll keyboardist," and I continued to think he was a parody act throughout his performance, but he seemed to be for real. And is thus one more chapter in the Keyboard Book of Shame. [video:youtube] Now out!

kpl1228 Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 It's a main reason I like Derek Sherinian and guys like Trent Reznor. Guys look like a bass player, or a drummer. Complete with the soul patch and the rock and roll black t-shirt. About damn time. As much as I like Nick Rhodes and Greg Hawkes and Steve Porcaro and Bernie Worrell and Bob Casale and Vince Welnick and Seth Justman and David Bryan and Dr. Fink and Rainbow-era Don Airey and Paul Shaffer and Wix Wickens and Charlie Giordano and Roger Powell and Steve Nieve and Jan Hammer and Ray Manzarek and Moby and Howard Jones and Thomas Dolby and....god, this list got long.....they have an image (to the non-keyboard playing audience) of: 1) 98-pound-weakling geeky guys 2) electronic misfit "synth wizards" with not a rock and roll tough bone in their body 3) The guy in the band that doesn't get laid and still lives in Mom's basement I like them all, and love some of them actually, but not many keyboardists have Jimmy Page cool or Steven Tyler swagger. Rock and roll and keyboards have a tendency to often be on the outside looking in, or be the geeky mousy guy in the band. True. Sad, but true. (see above list, and I know I'm missing some.) And that Flock of Seagulls guy didn't help.

David Emm Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Praise The Far Side. I've always played solo or politely required a solo moment in the proceedings where I produced something shred-like that pretty well blew away any notions of dorkdom. Flanged barrelhouse piano, a huge finger-drumming solo, a roaring orchestral rouser or a bit of all three have proven to be good candidates. Many of you probably remember the music lesson ad that stated "They laughed when I sat down. THEN I started to play..." There's the pivot point. If you're being seen as a 'keyboard dork,' either your detractors are irrelevant arseholes or you need to woodshed more. "I like that rapper with the bullet in his nose!" "Yeah, Bulletnose!

Tom Williams Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 I've always had scrawny weakling arms, and so I play with all the authority / aggression I can muster. In the 1970s, my bandmates complained that I "played keyboard like a guitar," i.e., with aggression and rhythm. They wanted block chords while the others had fun. I decided that playing keys like a guitar -- energy, volume, lots of leads, even covering the geetar part better than the guitarist -- was a great idea. So I learned to pay attention to how ELP made stuff work. Sometimes the guitar thing is done literally. I can spend weeks programming guitar voices with imitations of pickup wiring switches, 10" open-back speaker simulators, and fretted pitch bends. Then I spend more weeks honing my ability to play idiomatically. One of my best ego boosts was when a Gen-X guy at church told me that for the first time in his life he respected the Keytar (Roland AX-Synth) as a serious musical instrument. I was covering bass at the time. -Tom Williams {First Name} {at} AirNetworking {dot} com PC4-7, PX-5S, AX-Edge, PC361 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
