Why songs like Visions and other death metal/grindcore suck

[Xaris3514]

Very funny video! Visions may be a challenge to play, but the music and the singing (which takes NO talent) just plain sucks.

You try to do death vocals for 10 minutes, let alone the 2 hours most concerts last, and tell me that it takes no skill. I have lost my voice multiple times while trying to teach myself death vocals. It is NOT easy to do, especially when you mix the growls and deeper grunts with the screams and higher grunts.

You obviously haven't seen a great comic. George Carlin, Chris Titus, and Dane Cook (ok, I can't keep a straight face for that last one, do NOT judge stand-up by Dane Cook, he's terrible).

I did actually kind of like George Carlin, as well as a few other older acts.

Change thread-title to "why stand-up comedy is embarrassing for everyone involved", please.

This is true, regardless of the rest of this thread's content or what is being said about death metal in the video.

Then you'd like Lewis Black.

I didn't know he did stand-up.

Back when I was living in a household with cable I'd occasionally catch his little bit on The Daily Show, and he was usually pretty amusing. I'm not sure how that sort of thing would work with a much larger segment, however.

Alright, I'm not going to watch the video, or read the posts, but the title displays musical ignorance, and if there is one thing i cannot stand, it would be musical ignorance. All music, is considered art, in some form or another. Since the nature of art, is based how it is, every piece of art, it to be judged only by opinion, and opinion only, not facts. Therefore, no song,album or artist can 'suck,' because in the basis of opinion, nothing is true, nothing is false, it is all self-perception. Coming from this logic, as well, no piece of music can be considered 'good,' 'great' or perfect. You may think the particular piece of music is perfect, however, as in your mind it may be, but to anothert's it is not.

All these bands have so much unappreciated talent its pretty gross. Go on listening to Bon Jovi and STP where they just plain the same chord and chorus over and over again and calling it music.

Woah there; while I agree that there is a lot of under appreciated death metal out there (more of a power/thrash man myself, though) and is unfairly ragged on, that doesn't disqualify a band like STP from being music. There music is actually pretty complex because of the chords they use, I haven't heard the chords they use outside of their music often.

Music doesn't have to be complicated to be considered music.

See above explosion.


I'm not glad i did not read the posts, for I would have went on a longer rant than I did.
