Who gives a damn...really.

Okay, so United Live's coming to KL next month (co-host by SIB KL). Its exciting because they are an awesome worship band and they can really rock. Planetshakers is holding a 3 day conference as usual at the Pyramid Convention Centre in December. Casting Crowns will be going to Singapore. Man, I wish I could go to that one. But anyway, what's all this crap I'm hearing about United Live being better than Planetshakers or vice-versa? Music-wise, its easy to comment. It's a wonder sometimes if Planetshakers and United Live are just out there to sell albums. Heck, Planetshakers has an album almost every year (with the same repeated songs too). Then there's that argument that United Live's musicians are just plain posers with their super low-slung guitars and star jumps onstage. The songs seemed monotonous because they sound similar at times, just different lyrics, sparking the debate that they're just trying to put new songs into each album. Young musicians no doubt, try to emulate these worship maestros. Hey, who doesn't want to feel like a rock star in a "holy and acceptable" way?

But put all these things aside and you still can't deny that these two bands have written some great songs about God. It really doesn't matter who's better. To me, its the genuinity of the band to inspire people to worship truthfully. Forget about comparing their musicianship, showmanship, styles, blah blah blah. I bet both bands are out there to rock for Jesus. United Live better than Planetshakers? Who gives a damn...really.
