I agree with you BG Baby as always . I think more or less the point that you are trying to get across is that tortured artists like in P case are motivated through their expreinces and pressures to write their most powerful and intense pieces of music. For example in P case, when P was going through a lot drama in life, this is when he wrote the some of the best peices of music in his whole catalogue.

And the most talented..

Would Frankie Lymon fit in this catagory????

GangstaFam said:

I was thinking the same thing.

Although some may say Jim Morrison was just an egotistical prick, I'd have to say he was tortured and I do adore the music of The Doors and his poetry.

blackguitaristz said:

Of course...he's tortured...
....everytime he turns his radio on and the R-Kelly song is on.

Really, it seems that the criteria here for "tortured" is one that either looks it, has a serious drug habit or dies young.

Prince comes across as very meticulous (doesn't have the "tortured" look) but that doesn't usually go hand in hand with his type of creativity. Just because you don't look it doesn't mean you're not.

That must be a torture in itself. I hope, at least, he's a slob at home. Candy wrappers and stuff....

Question when you say "tortured" do you mean self-destructive? We might define the word differently.

theAudience said:

What did that Anon post? "And even more so for they create alone." What the hell does that mean Anon?

anon said:

it was supposed to say " even more so if they create alone or even more for those that create alone"...sometimes the thoughts merge. I wish you weren't so critical of me...you're far from perfect, you know.

theAudience said:

Piper at the gates of dawn is my fav P.Floyd, plus his solo stuff is pretty outhere.

abierman said:

xactly

anon said:

It was this...

"And one is not tortured simply because they "look the part". I would imagine that more artist than you would think are tortured in some way. Especially if they are critical of/hard on themselves. And even more so for they create alone."

...that "clicked" it for me.

Yeah...you seem to be one that's hard on/critical of self.

And I was kidding. I don't usually read back my post...now I'm afraid to. TYPO city.

anon said:

Well here's the good part.
Even if that's not what you meant to type, it meant something to me.

And yes, i'm critical of myself.
Don't think that's necessarily a bad thing if not taken to extremes.

christ, ian was young too... ditto

Marvin Gaye was a Tortured Soul

Tom said:

So mature though. Artistically anyway. I can't believe the music of Joy Division was made by 22 and 23 year olds.

Certainly Bowie at this stage of his life.
