Why R & B???

[x-pack]

Why is modern R & B called 'R & B' when it is nothing of the sort:dunno: Am I wrong in thinking that this traditionally stands for 'Rythm and Blues'? ...as in The Blues Brothers

I got my beer in the sideboard 'ere, let muvver sort it out if he comes round 'ere...

R&B sucks the weavers penis these days, its all fat arsed birds cramming as many notes as possible into every word while shaking there heads like they got a spinal disease and thinkin that means they can sing, yuk yuk yuk i hate it.

[Nige S]

R & B is nothing other than Rhythm & Blues.
And yes, I am a grumpy old man disliking the modern scene.

[marsy226]

i agree R&B should be what it was
not all these others trying to change it into absolute drivel

Glad it's not just me. Do Chas and Dave come under the (proper) R&B bracket?
https://www.therobintickets.co.uk/ticketshop/gigphotos/1025.jpgI reckon they are in the 'knees up mother brown' and having a right good old sing song down the local battle cruiser area of R&B .. *Please forgive my appalling use of cockney rhyming slang* ..Their music is all about the wife giving you grief and being skint and drinking beer with your mates. Good stuff:thumb:

Next up - Status Quo:dance:

The Quo! Proper 12 bar blues:thumb::banana:

http://www.bjd.sk/RockPop/Archiv/1994_StatusQuo_small.jpg (http://www.bjd.sk/RockPop/Archiv/1994_StatusQuo_big.jpg) These men do it the way it should be done. I heard Francis Rossi on TV the other day saying 'we do play songs with more than three chords' ..and I thought 'yeah right mate. You might be in The Quo, but don't talk crap' :crazy:... I wonder what they make of this modern R&B? Probably have a thing or two to say to .. well, whoever they are:rsocmoan: What are the names of some of these modern R&B people:dunno:

[longboy]

am off to see the quo soon, should be a laugh, there tours call....

That would mess up their whole sound. Could be C,F,G and Bb or something. They might end up sounding like the Eagles though and then they would need a D7. It would just be too complicated:thinking:

Wohhhaohhh we're in the army now... :bolt:

If the Quo wanted to fuck things up they could get one of those warbling R&B lasses to bollocks up Rockin All Over The World:jester:

[popuptoaster]

seen Quo live, top show. :D

[zoso11]

as a blues musician i couldnt agree more, R&B doesnt exactly share ANY relationship with the true sense of the meaning..

How can you have the blues anyhow with loads of hoe's and bitches, throwing cash around plenty of bling, 20" rims and a grill..

this is what blues is all about..
