I just dont understand. While in the U.S. people from the opposite pole of the music genre do collaborate. I mean look at Switchfoot's Jon Foreman now collaborating with bluegrasser Sean Watkins. And they do it out of pure adventure and fun and not by some label negotiations (both artists are now unsigned).
Then there's Tom Morello of Rage Against The Machine doing folk songs as The Nighwatchmen.
and James Hetfield of Metallica on CMT singing with Jessi Colter.
Then Sebastian Bach of Skid Row releasing a country song.
But the most open minded of them all is Kid Rock who seems to combine all genre in one album...
But here in the philippines i often heard a lot of discrimination. Like they dont wanna associate with the hiphops cause they are metal or they don't wanna come near to the emos cause they are punk (without their knowing that emotive hardcore was an offspring of hardcore punk during the 80s). In fact these people who called themselves punsters aren't really punk at all because they are still following a certain image. Punk originally meant to do it yourself and not to comform to the norm but here they are these so called punksters calling themselves punk because they wear their hair as such and they behaved as such and etc...
Pasensya na lang sa imo migo kay IMMATURE MUSICIAN pa na siya. Wala pa siya kasabot ug unsay CREATIVITY. Kong mag cge na siya ug ingon-ana, dili gyud na siya mo grow as a true musician by heart. Mostly pud, kasagaran sa mo discriminate kay kanang gamay ra ug nahibaw-an.
