well, first, I want to hear how people approach alien generes. It can be refreshing. I mean, funk is funk, but mix in some cool, blues rock, hard hitting riffing, funk rock? Something a little less ordinary/common. Thats 1 big reason I love to hear how ppl do a different genre. It might not be funk funk, but its something different.
2nd, I find that no one tries to stand out but always emulate. This is my opinion though. I hold originality in very high regard... so yeah... that would be why I love to urge ppl to do different things. Oh, but emulation can be good in the sense of classical musicians.
And yes, please don't take this as some high and mighty kind of speech. Its just one man's opinion on how things should be done.
