I actually asked this question because a lot of people on this board say stuff like "punk bands are shit" and stuff like that, so I was curious if many punk bands don't know theory, which is what a lot of people tell me, then why do they write so many songs with riff changes galore but metal bands will repeat a riff for over a minute sometimes. Look at Blackened by Metallica, it's just a few riffs over and over again. but in a 3 min punk songs you can have like 5 or 6 riff changes. And they have way more songs on their cds than metal bands. I guess Ive just been curious why this is if they don't know as much theory as metal bands.
