Randomly Crap Out Your Opinions Thread

[a21schizoidman]

since soooo many are cluttering up the Stupid Things You've Heard Thread (Music Related) here's a thread for you that just like to state opinions you don't care for that you think are stupid.

This thread is awesome. That is my opinion.

[Xaris3514]

Nirvana sucks. That is all.

I cannot stand overly simplistic synthetic rhythm sections. One reason I hate pop so much. There's just no depth, so when I dive into the music, expecting some measure of complexity, I end up cracking my head open on the bottom relatively quickly because of how shallow it sounds. With a simple rhythm section, I can at least wrap my head around drum sound and which drums are being hit along with distinguishing a bass line from the mix. With most pop tunes, there's NOTHING for me to grasp. It's all too clean, simple and emotionless and that sound is like nails against a chalkboard to me (which, in retrospect, might be better since it could be used well as ambience).

Oh, by the way, nice title, there, a21Schizoidman a.k.a. the "Prog-nosticator", haha

I agree with that post actually, hits the nail on why I don't like pop really at times. I also got to say that title kicks ass.

[Runesmith]

I don't like overly technical pieces of music. Most extremely technical musicians sound like emotionless robots to me; in my opinion, there's little point in playing music if you can't play from your heart, and not from your brain.

I'm one of them "there is beauty in simplicity" folks.

[afterstasis]

i typically lean towards the more simplistic/minimalist stuff, but neither particularly jump out at me when listening to music unless that's there is to it (in which case i probably hate it).

that said, when recording my own music i tend to go with layering a possibly excessive amount of tracks over one another because while i'm definitely not a perfectionist, i do have LOTS of trouble deciding that something is "done".
my latest recordings have caused me to really focus on keeping things more stripped-down, along with trying to sing and not coat my voice in effects.

[Hungryfreak]

I have nothing against simplicity. Simplicity can be beautiful, but in the context of pop, its emotionless, mechanical simplicity.

[Soror_YZBL]

Tool have their fair share of unadulterated anger songs, too. I can't see "Crawl Away" being a scholars choice.

i find their music to be equally bad, but at least paramore doesn't ham it up.
plus, i associate an annoying fanbase with paramore, but at least they're not an annoying AND cluelessly pretentious fanbase.

Hm, I don't think I've ever actually talked to a pretentious Coheed and Cambria fan... well, one.

[Alright_Computer]

I'm a casual Tool fan. Every time I say that, someone always says, "Dude, that's not possible!"

I can't stand pretentious fans of any band, even bands I like and especially bands I don't like.

I think that if most of the singers in popular music died, honestly, no one would care, because there would be a legion of talentless drones to follow them in their path of mediocrity.

And I can't stand people who go "You don't like *insert pop-rock band here*?!? You should listen to them more, you'll like them!" Actually, I was really into pop-rock at one time, so yes, I've listened to them and yes, I don't like them. With pop-rock, you've heard all you're going to hear the first time you hear it. With other kinds of rock music, you hear this cool lyric here, or this guitar solo here, or how the bassline went, or other elements you missed before, and it gets better with every listen because of that. It just gets on my nerves.

That's not to say that I think that all pop-rock is bad. I do have a few guilty pleasures... that I'm NOT going to say.

Here's the Crawl Away lyrics I was talking about.

Crawled away from me. slipped away from me.
Tried to keep a hold, but there was nothing I could say.
Slid away from me. crept away from me.
Tried to keep it down, but there was nothing I could say.

What you try to say is you dont wanna play.
What you want and what you need dont mean that much to me.

I can see youre back is turning. if I could, Id stick a knife in.

I like some Pixies songs but some I find very very annoying. Black Francis' voice can annoy you after while.

[afterstasis]

Hm, I don't think I've ever actually talked to a pretentious Coheed and Cambria fan... well, one.

i'd imagine it's the "bad apple syndrome", but i still can't help but make the association.

i feel similarly about people who barely skim the more popular edges of any style of music and become obsessive about it (black metal obsessives who are only aware of dimmu borgir and cradle of filth, "diehard punx" who are aware of three punk bands, etc.).

i'm perfectly fine with people only knowing the more popular bands of a genre, but when they act like they live and breathe the genre it really turns me off, though i can rest assured they'll either eventually get more into the music or just go away eventually due to lack of genuine interest.

[instantdeath999]

Fair enough. I haven't delved into Tool a whole lot, but I was merely stating that a lot of the Tool fans I have met will bring up how intelligent and cryptic the lyrics are.

I actually think they are usually well written, but very straight forward, and not the least bit difficult to figure out.

Here's an example.

Like I said it's not a crack at the song... I love the way it's written.

[SputnikDX]

Even after listening to many Zeppelin songs on the radio (My station loves Zep, even having Zep in the name, (KZEP) so they play it often and sometimes devote entire days to Zeppelin songs.) I still don't know what the big deal is about this band. I don't dislike them, but my attitude is always a nuclear sized MEH. I even find, as a drummer, Moby Dicks drum solo to be bland and boring. They've never WOW'd me, ever, simplistically or not.


I believe Coheed and Cambria (sp?) would be a good band if they had a different singer. I don't mind high voices, but his breaks goes above and beyond annoying.


Even as a die hard Rush fan, I can hardly stand Geddy singing some older tracks, like Temples of Syrinx (and other related 2112 sections), and Hemispheres in particular.


If you're a bassist, and John Entwistle isn't one of your influences, stop playing bass.


I never appreciated Tool's album covers, nor their music

Those are my crappy opinions.

[MronoC]

Dream Theater is highly overrated, it's like listening to classical music, but much more boring and repetitive, It's like they totally ignore the last couple of centuries of musical progress, and I also hate it when they cut a song off just before the tension resolves like they think it's clever, but they do it in a way that implies resolution so heavily that it has the exact same effect.

[Soror_YZBL]

[instantdeath999]

Well, each member was very top of the chain when they first emerged, Pete Townshend is often hailed as one of the greatest lyric writers of all time, Keith Moon had a completely different style of drumming, etc...

As for John Entwistle, many of his basslines were downplayed in the mixes. He really shines live.

Of course, there are plenty of reasons to not like them, I'm sure. I just haven't found many :)

Bob Dylan, Rage Against the Machine, and Elvis are punk.

"Heat of the Moment" by Asia is, quite possibly, the greatest song ever.

Also, I like System of a Down and Slipknot.

[FourstringOrion]

I know I am going to get beat for this but..

I listened to Opeth, and I don't get why every one loves them; To me they just seem like an ordinary ProgDeath/Melodic Death metal band.

Also the same goes for Tool and Muse; I just don't get why EVERYONE hails them as gods..

And I also think that Metallica's version of Remember Tomorrow is better than Opeth's(And not just because I love Metallica. Mainly because Opeth's version sounds almost the same as IM's but sped up, and Metallica add their own twist on their version)

[Cpt. Overkill]

Muse; I just don't get why EVERYONE hails them as gods..


Well, Muse is a modern band that can play live, and Matt Bellamy is an extremely good vocalist.

[Julio_Strikes_Back]

I'm watching the show Supergroup right now, and I have new-found respect for Jason Bonham. He's the only one who showed self control and didn't seem like a drunken, washed up, has-been.

[FourstringOrion]

I don't know... even if, say, a metal fanatic listens to exclusively metal, he's still probably "better" musically than a casual music fan who downloads a few rap singles every couple of weeks on itunes, listens to them, and repeats the process.

I saw Foreigner earlier this year, and Jason Bonham was with them. Everyone was looking at the flashy singer, but I couldn't help but look at him... he was very good. Had a lot of John-esque fills, and even had a solo in the vein of Moby Dick.

Well I meant it as somebody who has knowledge to metal exclusively will have less of an understanding with somebody who has more of something like grunge, prog, blues, ect. I see your point though.

I guess that to me Matt Bellamy just sounds to much like Thom York..

I appreciate Muse's musical abillities but I just don't hear anything unique or special for them to be called the greatest modern band.
We're talking about Mastodon right? :rolleyes:

The album "Enter the Grave" by Evile is the best Slayer album released in the past 15 years

Number of the Beast is the best Metallica album ever.
Sucks that Metallica wouldn't put any of their songs on RB2 :(

(Seriously, someone said they thought Run to the Hills was by Metallica)

Also, whenever people don't like bands I like, and show off rock bands I don't despise but think are just a tad "overliked" (ie: Coldplay, Switchfoot, other boring Alternative bands whose talent I respect but could never really enjoy), I openly tell them that I think that's fine if we don't have the same musical tastes, but on the inside secretly believe we can never be friends, and that my music is so much better than you.

PS: I have the best musical taste ever.

The riff in Twinkles is very Smashing Pumpkins-like. But other than that and the phaser effect common in both bands' songs, there really isn't too much similarity.

Naturally, it's a great song.

[Ryuzaki]

I hate the keyboard nearing the end of Boston's Foreplay/Long Time. It's pitch and volume kill your ears if you're listening to it with an MP3 player.

That's up for debate. Of course, there's also the question of whether or not the company that makes Twinkies would have sued them and gotten the album pulled off the shelves. And personally, I would go insane if I didn't get my Carnavas.

i think that metalcore, along with hardcore punk and screamo (all three being genres i previously pronounced dead), still display potential to be awesome underground genres of music (complete with innovative and exciting bands) again...

[instantdeath999]

"I can think of many things Metallica do better than Megadeth."

Explain that.

This is my opinion mixed with simple analysis of the music.

-Metallica usually have longer songs. While this seems trivial, one of the characteristic elements of Thrash metal is the length. Thrash would often extend the length of their songs, to fit in multiple time signatures, and to help escape mainstream cliche's.

- Metallica generally have much more distorted instruments, another huge characteristic of Thrash metal.

- Metallica usually contains harsher, deeper vocals, as compared to the much higher pitched vocal style of the early Dave Mustaine.

- Metallica usually have better written lyrics.

- Metallica arguably recorded one of the first Thrash records, although much of it was thanks to Dave Mustaine.

- Metallica seems to change tempo's more frequently, although that is definitely up for debate.

Of course, I can say many things that Megadeth do better than Metallica.

The first year of eligibility for a band or artist is 25 years after the release of their debut album, Metallica's "Kill 'em All" was released in 1983 (the same year as SRV's Texas Flood), making 2008 (25 years later) their first year of eligibility. Also, SRV is very well known, and one would think that the fact that he's passed would influence the nomination, but apparently a new album release outweighs a loss of life.

I do have to agree with the Shiz, there are TONS of metalheads that are inspired by Stevie, as much as I am. Stevie wasn't just known in the blues community.

And Shiz, I would do the endless set list, but I just don't want to deal with Visions. I applaud Harmonix for opening the floodgates for "extreme" metal(I'm still crossing my fingers for Immortal) but my goodness, it's not even fun, nor does it sound good.

[instantdeath999]

I do think RockBandFan is talking about overall awareness, and I do have to agree more people on the street would recognize the name Metallica over Stevie Ray Vaughan. This is not a good thing.

However, if you played a song by each, they would probably recognize Stevie Ray.

-Metallica usually have longer songs. While this seems trivial, one of the characteristic elements of Thrash metal is the length. Thrash would often extend the length of their songs, to fit in multiple time signatures, and to help escape mainstream cliche's.

I've never heard of this. As far as I know, Megadeth, Anthrax, and especially Slayer have very short songs, all the time.

- Metallica generally have much more distorted instruments, another huge characteristic of Thrash metal.

I guess that counts...

- Metallica usually contains harsher, deeper vocals, as compared to the much higher pitched vocal style of the early Dave Mustaine.

That counts too?

- Metallica usually have better written lyrics.

That's debatable. Very debatable.

- Metallica arguably recorded one of the first Thrash records, although much of it was thanks to Dave Mustaine.

I'll give them that.

- Metallica seems to change tempo's more frequently, although that is definitely up for debate.

This is true, I'll agree. If you listen to Megadeth a lot, you notice that they slow down and speed up a lot in their songs, but it's usually the same tempo cut in half. One clear exception is Hanger 18, which just throws their old tempo completely out the window.

Of course, I can say many things that Megadeth do better than Metallica.

Same here :)

And as for a random music opinion: i herd mikael akerfeldt and henry rollins both liek mudkipz.

And as for the whole Metallica vs. Stevie Ray Vaughn thing goes (never thought I'd ever say that XD), they're both widely known, and while Stevie Ray Vaughn blows Metallica out of the water, Metallica is the household name that nearly every family in America knows. I'd venture to say that's the main reason.

Exactly my point. Bands like Rush, KISS, Genesis, Kansas, Yes, Journey, etc. are a hell of a lot more important than Grandmaster Flash and Madonna. Considering that Madonna and Grandmaster Flash aren't even rock artists, ANY rock band is more important than either of them. And I believe that Iron Maiden is a much more important band to heavy metal than Metallica no matter how popular Metallica is.

Exactly my point. Bands like Rush, KISS, Genesis, Kansas, Yes, Journey, etc. are a hell of a lot more important than Grandmaster Flash and Madonna. Considering that Madonna and Grandmaster Flash aren't even rock artists, ANY rock band is more important than either of them. And I believe that Iron Maiden is a much more important band to heavy metal than Metallica no matter how popular Metallica is.
Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden and Judas Priest

[Xaris3514]

Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden and Judas Priest

And yet Sabbath remains the only one of those three to be inducted.

And the other 2 are if not some of the most influential metal bands... ever

[MronoC]

Also, wtf at Van Halen being inducted before either Priest or Maiden? And how are The Stooges just now being nominated?! And, again, How the hell is Alice Cooper not in their!?

[Alright_Computer]

Loveless by My Bloody Valetine is easily one of the greatest Alternative albums ever recorded..

100% agree. It's brilliant.

And wasn't Madonna inducted?

I think it's pretty common knowledge that the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a joke to the rock community.

[afterstasis]

i think grandmaster flash being in the hall of fame makes sense, and i'm willing to bet he's been far more influential and innovative than most would care to admit.

It's like ROlling Stone... nobody should take R&R HoF seriously

[Insane3]

And how are The Stooges just now being nominated?!

Because it's one of the very first punk bands.

He meant it as... how did it take them this long

[Alright_Computer]

I lost what little faith (and trust me, there was very little) in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame when they didn't even nominate Stevie Ray Vaughn. Also, Madonna was influential to pop, yes, but does she really belong in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?

Well the Rn'R HoF takes all music into account.

I thought Stevie and Metallica were sure things last year.

[Zeleii]

Opinion...

MC Frontalot is REALLY good

[a21schizoidman]

I knew the R&R HOF was a hoax after they had already announced the DC5 to be in 2 years ago, and mysteriously, Grandmaster Flash got the final nomination, making the DC5 wait another year...

[Alright_Computer]

True, but I still was rather surprised to see Madonna among the list of inductees when I went there last summer, to say the least.

I can imagine... Madonna has NO place in there

[instantdeath999]

The Sex Pistols summed up my opinion on the hall of fame quite nicely. I'm still baffled as to why neither Rush nor KISS have even been nominated despite both being eligible for years and both being very important to the genre. Hell, the final nail in the coffin was when Grandmaster Flash and Madonna were inducted before bands like KISS and Rush were even nominated.

Ah, I heard about that. I can't remember what they said, but I know it was hurtful :D

[Zeleii]

They should name it

"Mainstream After 1950 Hall of Fame"

[Shredder87]

Well back to the regular topic thingy.


Daft Punk makes me grow the manliest beard.

[MronoC]

I guess the point I've been trying to make is that Alice Cooper is f***ing amazing, and "Killer" is the greatest album of all time, ever, in this universe or any other.

I could say the same for Loveless...

HOLLYWOOD UNDEAD ARE A POOPY BAND!
