So , when were half of you guys awarded with a giant trophy for the musical tastes award?

When did you all receive your PHD's in music theory?

What I'm saying is... why do people HAVE TO insult everyone elses music left and right... this whole forum is practically "Zomg metal suxx0rz!" "Z0mG emo teh sux" "Z0mG classic rock stinks!" "ZOLOMG GO LIZTN TO TEH DIMMU BORGIR NUBLET!" "Zomg No wai dimmu is teh sux0r!" "ZOMG"

EVERYTHING SUCKS , according to the collective whole of this forum, so why can't people shut up and realize that everyone likes different things, and everyone has different reasons to back up what they like but none of you are ever going to accomplish a damn thing by constantly bickering about what sucks or not.

Please shut up with this whole tard-war about genres :D

It'd be funny if some graduate of a music university came in and confirmed this. Bands like MCR are not really that great musically. Hell I could record me banging on my desk, and when people critisize it use the "People have different musical tastes" argument which usually works. Except for the genres of Nu Metal, Pop Punk, and modern pop most musical genres are good, even if I don't like them.

Who is Dimmu Borgir?

Music is rarely bad. I don't insult metal because I recognize it takes talent. If there were tons of blues fans here, I don't like blues that much (It's ok, but not in my interests). I would just say this, it just so happens that tons of people listen to bad music. The Pop Punk fan is usually a lower teens twit who couldn't type for his life. People who aren't like that who like Pop Punk usually like it along with other genres. Some of it's not that bad hopefully.

Ah but you are wrong

Why do record producers exist if the supreme form of music is just thrashing madly with technically challenging instrumental work?

You act as if the only property of music that matters is the technicallity , which if you ask me is pretty ****ed up... because then you are listening to music to Appreciate it rather than nessicarily enjoy it.

Obviously appreciation of music is different from enjoying it , we all have to respect mozart but does that mean we have to listen to him? Does that mean Mozart should be enjoyable to everyone in the world?

I like pop-punk, but usually stuff like Green Day or older bands, I don't care for much newer stuff. That said, I also like almost every musical genre and have favorite bands in most of them.

I don't like metal much, but I'm not going to click on every metal thread and call everyone a moron for liking the genre because they simply have different tastes.

Do you think the older pop punk is better then? I don't know, I just go on what I've heard.

Also about the technicality. Even if it's a good song, technicality and knowing what your doing makes it better. That's what punk is based off of, but I only like the Ramones and the Sex pistols. After that they got annoying, and they never sounded as good as the Protopunk bands to, and some of the original punk bands to me. I liked New Wave and Post Punk though. That said, you can't JUST have technicality, but it certainly can make things better.

You produce good arguments, and it matches up logically. But than I listen to the bands and they sound horrible. These sort of arguments can be used to defend anything. I honestly can't come up with anything against MCR&friends, except that they sound bad, are ruining rock, and have an annoying image/fans. I apologize for intolerance, but they just sound so bad and many people agree. I cannot explain "sounding bad".

There are bands that are "Better" though. That's why people go to schools to learn music theory. I don't, so I can't argue.

Well, a band like the Descendents are a great old school pop-punk band. The problem with newer pop-punk bands is that they forsake the edge and soul of older bands like the Descendents in favor of radio friendly, kids bop sing-alongs.

Listen to the song 'Myage' by the Descendents. That's what pop-punk is supposed to be like. A balance of pop hooks and punk's intensity and DIY flavor.

It seems to me the only current band who gets it is Green Day, but then they grew up on The Buzzcocks, Undertones and Descendents, so they probably know what it's about.

I'm not saying the genre sucks, but like any genre, there's a hell of a lot of crap in it.

Why do people constantly belittle others because of their musical taste? It's because this is the internet. This is the ultimate place of (mostly) complete confidentiality where there are no consequences(at least 'real life' ones) for the **** talking one does. It's a shame, really.

Thats all subjective , I mean... MCR& friends sounds bad to some, ok to some , good to some.
They aren't ruining rock , they simply make their own music and the fact that people are too stupid to look up music on their computer is not "MCR& friends" fault , its MTVs fault if anything , for playing nothing but "MCR&Friends" , annoying image/fans is also extremely subjective as well.

Also , if technicallity w/o sounding like crap like that video I posted really is the ultimate undeniable best music in the universe , then why hasn't dream theater completley dominated the charts since they formed?

The whole thing is theres really alot more to music than skill , and that consists of many things including , Hooks , melody , appeal to certain crowds , lyrics , the energy and the feeling a song brings , the singing style , etc.

If nothing but technical instrumental work matters , people need to just go listen to Dream theater & friends for the rest of their life lol

This post isn't really aimed at Gray I just quoted him to bring up the 1st block of text there.

Of course the technicality matters. Because a guitarist plays complex riffs, or synchronize their riff with keyboards...that makes it interesting, more so than say, post grunge and their being oblivious to guitars having different chords and achrods that, even if they dont believe it, produce different sounds. Of course, it depends of how good a musician you are. Its different from being a good instrumentalist. I do agree with tman there.

So, whoever masters the most ways to make all kinds of sounds, is an exceptional musician.

Yes, this is the internet. Its easy to just say what you really mean on here. In real life, you may have a friend who likes stuff you HATE, but you cant speak your mind cuz A) you might go too far, B) he may not take it well.

Having bad tastes in things makes you an uninteresting person. Sure, taste is subjective to most people, but come on, there are lots of rules that give all this a grade of objectiveness. Like a book. A book thats awfully written, but you like it...ok, you like it, but that means you have horrible tastes in literature, meaning that if faced with well written literature, you will probably toss it aside because you like half assed-ness, or you BELIEVE books are written as if they were cooking recipes. You can like it if you want, but if you are hanging out with a literate crowd, get ready to be labeled as having poor taste.

And thats as natural as ugly people being undesirable for mating. It happens in the animal world, why not the human world?

Am I being cruel? I dont think so. Im just stating how I think things go.

Something to note however, is that probably, people that play more traditional forms of classic music (the concept WE have of music, starts with the european classic composers) might consider something like Metal to be in poor taste. I find that to be a little uptight, because they dont really command how different music would go. Yet, most people into Metal like classical music. I mean, Metal is the only form of modern music that actually can be derived from classical, because it has complicated structures, and its diverse.

Yeah, I never really thought about what the social climate against metal is like in other countries. I know that metal has a large following outside of the US but not really too much in latin countries (Is Brazil latin?). But all the stronger you are for repping true f'ing metal somewhere it's not even remotely popular!

LavatoryLoveMachine
07-25-2007, 03:48 PM
Thanks man!! Even here in my country its hard to find friends within metal, because the Metal scene here is very 80s ish...so yeah, its full of good for nothing douche bags actually haha Well....good for nothing douche bags are probably the most there are in any social group. That, and its SO full of posers.

Metal is not big anywhere actually. We are a tight knit group everywhere. hmmm maybe not in Norway...or most Scandinavia. But if we are hunched up together, we make noise. Look at the guys in Maiden's Rock in Rio. As for latin america...its hard. i know that metallers in latin america are mostly into power. ****load of power bands come from all latin american countries all the time. And Brazil is like the Italy of this hemisphere lol Which means they dominate. Not by numbers, but quality.

But, like you, Im ignorant about the social climate when it comes to Metal. I used to know this spanish girl who didnt like a certain, hugely popular folk metal band called Mago de Oz (Wizard of Oz) because they were "too loud" I found it hilarious that she would say that about them. Sure, they got heavy songs here and there but still...its no Slayer, come on lol Id definitely love to know more. Every country has its own thing going on, therefore its own opinion on Metal.

In Puerto Rico, we are frowned upon. People just dont understand us, and dont want to. And those who are into other niches, like ****ing goddamn reguaetton (has nothing to do with reggae, and if you dont know what it is....its better you never know), plainly see rockers like jokes. And rockers here...very few. Most are emos and punks, and nobody distinguishes Metal from rock. And when they say rock...they are not talking led zeppelin. god knows what they listened to that they associate with rock. Its pitiful. By the way, there are a lot of rockers...just not what I consider to be real rockers.

Ill give you a living example. A friend, who very much a rapper and into regaeton (never known how to spell it. its better that way. I wont conjure its name lol), asked me what I liked. Since Im a social ****** and cant think well when asked something so close to me, like music taste, I just told him metal, the european stuff. Before that, he started mentioning bands like Linkin Park and Nirvana (man, rockers here have an obsession with Nirvana), and you know, he mentioning LP almost cracked me up, but since I like to just get it over with so I can be quiet again, I told him I dont like american bands. Which is not true of course, I was just trying to make him glimpse at something beyond what he knew. So, he asks me "why dont you like em? because they are satanic right?" That says it all. People think we are satanic. I mean, but thats everywhere, right? People who dont get Metal will either say its satanic, or just very loud. Maiden will always be labeled satanic for the ignorants who have never bothered to listen to what the NOTB song is actually saying lol

And to your question about Brazil...yeah, its latin. Every country that speaks a language derived from latin, is latin. Many people in the US are stranged by this, but yes, it means places like Rumania, France, Italy, Portugal...are latin. When you hear the term hispanic-american, that means all latin american people who speak spanish, which leaves Brazil out. Sometimes, the term ibero-american is used to include Brazil, because portuguese also come from the Iberian peninsula, like spanish.

07-25-2007, 04:07 PM
Thanks for the enlightenment bro.

As far as being satanic yeah theres a lot of that stigma here too. Rightfully so as a lot of poser-crap metal bands here just use satanic themes to seem bad-ass. What people don't get is that Hansi Kursch from Blind Guardian is a christian and sings about Christian themes from time to time (The Martyr, on Battalions of Fear). Same thing with the guy from Helloween.

In America though our music is blatantly mysoginist, focusing on sex, drugs, violence and depressing feelings. Or just plain lack of anything substantial to where it's not really ABOUT anything and it's just pop-fluff garbage.

I agree with you on the fact that most people don't like metal or even understand it. Honestly most of the bands I like are from Europe too. American metal is in a very sad state right now being dominated by mostly Nu-Metal and metalcore. (some metalcore isnt bad but its a needle in a haystack)

I'm just glad that in this modern era of metal, we have the internet. Because without that I would not have even heard of most of the stuff I listen to.

07-25-2007, 07:56 PM
wow, latin countries must suck for metal heads.
but america isnt much better.
over here, at my school at least, has plenty of people who like rock, and more who like rap. but the ones who like metal are few and far between, and the ones who do usually are just posers (i know this one kid who bought a maiden shirt just because he thought it looked cool. claimed to be a metal head and then said his favorite band was ok go....).
but down here in mississippi there is a metal scene, however small it is.
theres a local group called "scream until they hear us" that rent out a local VFW hall and invite local bands to come and play, they have shows every other week.
usually the audience turn out is just me, my friends and all the local crogeys, and old metal heads (and for sum reason, alot of emo/scene kids ****ing up the place with their *** ass hardcore dancing... ****ing annoying), its never more than 100 people, and thats a BIG show for SUTHU.
so yeah, metal is very much alive where im from but where a populice of about 1,000 in my city.
it really sucks tho, because when i go to school and i wear my slayer shirts or my w/e shirt then i am always stopped in the hall by some rap kid, or one of the stupid preppy kids wearing Guy Harvey T-shirts and am asked jsut straight up "are you a satanist?" and of course i say "no" so then im asked why i listen to my "****ty" music.
i always just say, "either you get it or you dont, if it doesnt click when you listen to it then you'll never like it" and just go about my business, but about every person at my school, other than my friends has asked me that.
ive been interrogated by teachers, and students alike. its like im the unwilling public spokesman for metal at my school. i dont want to be, and its not like i stand out. i just where jeans and a T-shirt every day... maybe its the hair, idk. but it never fails.
but its not like i get bullied for it, its more like they are just curious.
im an oddity here.
and im cool with that. hell i even dig it.

I was explaining the concept of Iced earth's Horror Show to a friend of mine, and I had to remind him its based on movie charcaters, cuz when I got Damien he looked at me funny. "Dude, the antichrist from Omen....geez". And IE has a KICK ASS song about Jesus that almost, almost, converts me haha You know, Melancholy.

It'd be fun to tell people you are a satanist. With me it'd be tons of fun, because the powers that be took me to study at a catholic college (directed by the dominican order, even has a pastoral chapel and everything), so itd be a cool change from the routine. The deacon and the nun know me, so itd be fun to see their reaction. Recently I bought a shirt with death holding a scythe....cool to go into the chapel wearing that lol People are nuts.

Of interest also is what my mother told me after a Symphony X concert, that people look at us with long hair and band shirts and start to label us, yet when she heard guys going around her car, they were talking about due assignments in college. Seems we are human after all (unlike rappers, who would be talking about ways to skip class or beat up some fellow because he glanced at a girlfriends ass)

One of my best friends and my metal mentor is gonna be a priest. I doubt he'll go all the way ( though he wants to prove himself to those that doubt him, because of him being a metal head and having long hair), because if he goes to study theology on Peru, and supposedly Gamma Ray may come here next year, and he misses Kai Hansen....he just may kill himself haha Anyway, he admits, with a little guilt, one of his favorite songs is Deicide's Kill the Christian lol!!

The Metal scene here, being a very small country, goes its own direction. Theres a weird mixture of denim jacket wearing douche bags, hot women who think dressing all in black is what defines Metal, and the usual emo/punk idiots. Its funny seeing them in concerts. of course, they cant headbang, and I doubt they understand fully what its all about, but they are there.

Id like to be you fragpirate. I know it sounds weird, but Im pretty much a lone hermit everywhere I go, so maybe if the Star Trek virtual room thing ever becomes a reality, I may make a program with your life lol At least it would mean people having the least bit of interest in me.

But no matter, we have each other, and that should be enough. I think its harmful to have a hive mind, but damn it, sometimes you want to be around people that feel as passionate about something as you do, right? Nothing wrong with that.

Wings of Steel, I hadnt mentioned prog rock because, honestly, I dont know much about it, but you are right. But Metal just kicks that much more ass. And kick ass-ness counts.

Am I the only one who gets tired of rap and pop and pop-rock songs really quickly even though I like whatever song it happens to be?

Popular rap is just like popular rock today. They pick the absolute worst music to be popular.

Its true... They pick the most marketable bands to the smallest (but largest) audience. Teens and stuff mostly. Theres a huge market for that because they have money to burn and they're honestly not grown up enough to realize what they're listening to sometimes. As you grow older your tastes shift and change, but at that age you listen to what everybody else listens to for the most part.

I used to listen to spice girls and BSB! AND NICKELBACK.

Times change. But that certain age range will always be easy to sway into listening to whatever the industry wants them to.

More or less :P

Have you ever heard anyone who has a job that requires higher learning and IQ say they enjoy nothing but rap?

I find myself liking a single rap song here or there... and growing tired of it quickly , but I couldn't get into it if I tried... I think outkast and TI and three six mafia are ok but other rap I hear I think sucks really really bad

Am I the only one who gets tired of rap and pop and pop-rock songs really quickly even though I like whatever song it happens to be?

Like... I usually like kelly clarksons singles... but then after hearing them like 5 times I'm like... yeah... um... I don't care about this song anymore already

Thats everybody, because thats the point of rap and pop. To be good enough for 5 minutes. Thats what they are made for.

The only time I like rap music is when Im playing GTA San Andreas. Man, but playing Saints Row in my 360 is ten times better with the killer playlist I have on the 360 lol. Makes me play like a maniac, riding on the sidewalk.

Wait, there was a street? lol
