Ok...

...you can AT LEAST just groove it during 'Thank You Lord', man. Good grief. Eddie Heyward can play, but this clip made me throw up a little in my mouth.

Shoot me or sue me, but I swear this shed culture is starting to shape some of these guys approach to music.

yeah its a bit much, and I'm not a fan of "sheds during the song" but thats just Eddie though. He can keep the pocket when they want him to.

I have to disagree with the rest of these comments. You always hear the phrase that there's a time and a place for everything. Look in the background and you'll see people walking around...It's obviously offering time...Where it can be the only time for musicians to have the chance to "Wild Out" in a service...And I didn't see where it was shed-ish. He gave it just enough flavor just so you know it's Eddie Heyward...A few sweet licks here and there and good clean playing the rest of the time.

Yeah thats kind of where I was gettin at sticks. I'm usually not a fan of that over the top type playing, but I love this clip for some reason. And you can tell that the atmosphere was relaxed, and it wasn't like he was doing it while a choir was singing, or while people were trying to worship....so I'm cool with it.

I'm sorry - and YES I'm being judgmental - but that sounds so immature. 'Wild out'? Is playing music not enough? Do you feel oppressed because you can't have a conniption during service?

Ever notice when your family comes together during the holidays, and the kids are running around aimlessly, having fun - and the adults are sitting down, talking, yet enjoy themselves just the same?

That's the difference between what you're saying, and where I'm coming from. Only "kids" feel oppressed when they can't be all over the place. They need to let these dudes shed themselves to death before they put them on a throne in church. By that time, you've "jerked off" on your instrument enough, that you won't feel the NEED to do it once given the opportunity to play in service.

Grossly inappropriate and down right crass.  You couldn't come up with a better way to express yourself?  I'm all for freedom of speech and opinion, but just because you can say it doesn't mean it should be said.  A little more respect and reverence, if you will.

I totally agree that it was "grossly inappropriate and downright crass'.

That was the best way to express myself, because it is exactly how I felt. So, where do we go from here, sport?

Better to be silent and have everyone think you're a fool than to open your mouth and prove it.  Where do we go from here?  With a little more maturity you'll learn than just because you feel a certain way or have a certain opinion, sometimes it's more appropriate to just keep your mouth shut.  Again, just because you can say it doesn't mean that you should.....Sport.

Well, I don't think what I said was foolish - but it was probably "grossly inappropriate." Great quote, just bad placement...

...which is what my beef with the clip was to begin with. I supposed I've had enough of gospel musician's gross and mindless misplacement of runs, licks, and fills. After 15 years of the same ol'-same ol', it's becoming increasingly harder to use the manners my mother taught me when people defend it.

This is why far too many gospel musicians can't get any real work outside of the gospel arena. Many want to, but they've been allowed to approach the music with no sensitivity to the atmosphere, and with oftentimes willful lack of discipline for so long, that when they're rejected, they see no reason to correct themselves. Musical vulgarity has become the norm...

...and as someone who is sick of having their eardrums offended with said vulgarity, it is only natural that spew a little of my own, verbally, in frustration.

But the world will keep on spinning...

I agree with your thoughts and, quite honestly, we share some of the same opinions.  All I'm asking is for you to examine your choice of words when expressing yourself.  There are kids on this site.  Beyond that, it's "Learn Gospel Music."  Profanity and vulgar expressions are for people who don't have the vocabulary to express themselves in an intelligent manner, and quite frankly doesn't belong in here.  That, from what I can tell, does not apply to you.  You obviously have no problem finding the words.  If in your "frustration" you feel like you have no other way to express yourself than by using such vulgar speech, just hold your peace...until you find a better way.

LOL!!!!  If the inference is that I'm being overly sensitive or "spooky deep" I assure you, I'm not.  Further, if you're implying that I'm "creating a new sin," I didn't.  My comment was made as to the appropriateness of the term used in this particular forum.  I completely respect your right to say, think, and feel whatever and however you choose.  But there is something to be said for deference, tact, and consideration for your audience...is it not?
