Dude I too am a musician and I play the Bass Guitar. Music is the language of the people, its the only way humans can truly understand one another... Its the most beautiful thing, and I have found my enlightenment from playing and creating my own music. My theory for why certain things sound good to certain people is because music is a frequency. Its a frequency that you can tune yourself to; my frequency adheres to Rock, Funk, Soul, Metal, Heavy Metal, Grunge, Classic Rock, honestly the list goes on, for me I am in tune with any genre that requires a guitar, bass guitar, and a drum set. However, Hip hop does not make sense to me... at least not the fake shit that is today, but 2pac, run dmc and the old stuff makes sense because they are real to themselves. Music is great man, I could honestly go on forever and ever about this. Led Zeppelin was the band that single handedly changed my fate forever, the first time I heard No Quarter.... it hit me so deep, its hard to describe over the internet, but I will never forget it, from that day I picked up a brand new bass guitar, and ive played it ever since then... best thing i ever did was put down my xbox controller and pick up my bass, havent played xbox since then, actually sold it. hahaha
