Actually his name is Poncho Sanchez and he's a hell of a bongo player. And for you unenlightened folk'. Playin the bongos takes a shit of a lot of skill. Especially in his genre of music. Williams is still semi-hackish, and Elfman is still a hack

I think most of us have explained that Williams is far from a hack. I;m a trumpet player and I have a good conception of what some great orchestrated music sounds like. His original classical music he composes is amazing. I wasn't surprised after enjoying Saving Private Ryan that John Williams made the music for that with none other than the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Williams is a genius and a legend, accept it.

I have been playing trumpet for 13 years and piano for 11 (though I don't practice anymore). I study music at New School University and I'm a junior. One of my teachers is one of Elfmans orchestrators. He (Elfman) is a hack. J Williams isn't fresh or original, he just uses stuff that sounds good. He also recycles themes and progressions in his scores (who doesn't?). Now, excellent score writers, check out: Bernard Herrman or Carl Staling (the guy who does Looney Toons, and yes I'm serious, he is an orchestrating juggernaut)
