What's the most successful, least talented band?

Not what I was saying. I was referencing the fact that a) he's saying that he owns a Dumble, and b) that he's got a custom "death metal" voicing on said holy grail amp. Not buying it or his opinion.

Not bold. Just weak. I mean, there goes your integrity right out the window. To be clear, I NEVER WANT TO HEAR THE BEATLES AGAIN. But to not recognize the talent behind Happiness Is A Warm Gun, A Day In The Life, etc. is immaturity.

It is not an actual Dumble, if you would have read on, it was made by Quinn, a preamp, and it IS voiced for DM on the OD side. Most folks here that talk about Dumble, own a clone, or inspired by. All that was in another thread, along with an album recently recorded with said Dumble voiced DM preamp. Jump to a wrong conclusion much? In celebration of your Dumble remarks here you go....

A lot of these bands mentioned are pretty talented....In the way they market themselves.

Me : still feel the same way. Like what you like, and share your opinion. It is just an opinion on the internet.

Except you didn't give an opinion, dude. You said the Beatles are a non-talented band. Whether you like them or not is your opinion. Whether they are TALENTED or not is fact. Clearly the Beatles are extremely talented. Anyone with even a tenth of a brain can admit they are extremely talented. I may despise rap music --- but I can surely admit when I see a talented rapper.

The opinion that you hold (which of course you are entitled to) that the Beatles are overrated and that you dont think their music is very good is an absolute non-issue. You stated something that is very much WRONG when you said the Beatles aren't that talented.

I think Paul is somewhat talented, the rest not so much. They are not what I consider talented as muscians, and do not care for most of their songs, which also would involve talent, so yea, lack of talent included.

[GaryE]

Like them or not,most of us can only dream of having an impact like the Beatles . Nearly 50 years on and they STILL influence millions of musicians. I seriously doubt any other pop band will ever have that kind of impact on popular music, so I am going to have to disagree with those who say they aren't really talented...

[EricPeterson]

Seriously, it is not "people" saying the beatles are not talented, it is a single person saying it.

Again ----- you are very wrong.

There is no such thing as an opinion on whether someone is talented at something or not. They either are or are not. The Beatles are/were extremely talented. On a 1-10 scale of talent, 10 being the best, they were a 10 at talent. You can't argue that.
