Great movie but...


I couldn't stand that stupid godawful high pitched screaming saxophone used in most of the music! That shit drives me fucking insane and made my goddamn ears bleed! There's a reason why most musicians stopped using saxophone solos after 1992! As horrible as today's robotic auto-tune garbage may sound, I'll gladly take it over those awful 80s screaming saxophone solos from Hell!

There are some saxophone solos I found okay like "Baker Street" and "Careless Whisper", but the ones used in songs like "I'm Your Man" and "Forever Your Girl" are the absolute worst and the screaming sax solos are pure earrape! How could anyone stand that ear bleeding garbage? It's the fucking worst!

It's basically the real life equivalent to Squidward playing his clarinet. I especially hate the SNL theme! Saxophones should be banned from music if they're going to consist of screaming at the highest pitch possible! That shit could possibly cause permanent hearing loss in some people! Not saying that it has.

Well, nobody plays instruments anymore.

I feel the same on that "suped-up computer generated high hat" that seems to be in every song I hear. Which is right in a way.., I guess..as older generations should be annoyed with the sounds that newer generations calls their own.

It’s how I feel about bagpipes. God awful useless instrument

What a strange complaint,
I thought the sax fitted nicely with the other horns
Maybe its a "now you've heard it you cant unhear it" sort of thing and your mind is kinda exaggerating it to you .

Can you point to on example in these clips?
