rofl king crimson @ hall of shame uke:
Yeah that is kind of weird. I mean wtf?! Doesnt anyone listen to more than just metal?
King Crimson in the hall of shame and infantile shit such as Amon Amarth and Dark Tranquillity in the hall of fame, I think this forum is officially in my hall of shame, hahaha.
How are Amon Amarth and Dark Tranquillity infantile? do you care to explain? Nothing about their lyrics is childish, nor is the music, so I have no idea what you're talking about.
To each his own of course. It's childish in the sense that it's all based around the minor scale and the classic run-of-the-mill minor chord progressions. And, no, it's not a musicians-like-musicians-music type of thing, I just think the music of amon and dark tranquillity pretty much sound like the 14 year olds that used to rock out at the local youth center when I went to midschool in the suburbs, only that AA and DT of course come in a well produced package. Call it snobbish if you will, but I prefer to hear bands actually trying to explore something new musically. Or bands that flat-out pays a tribute to bands who used to do that (like Bloodbath with Entombed/Dismember or Spiritual Beggars with Black Sabbath/Deep Purple).
Would you rather see dark tranquillity explore with their style, like in flames did, and turn into shit?
If every band starts to experiment and explore their music, the that would make all those bands the same in a way, which is the contrary of what you actually like
I think there are enough bands exploring with their music and coming up with new things, which is good, but we also need bands that keep the genres alive by playing the same kind of music they always have...
So what about Bolt Thrower that you just saved then? Its not like they have evolved much over the years.
Yeah, that's true actually. I think Bolt Thrower brought more to the table than AA/DT ever did, but I'll have to admit they havent evolved much since. And thinking about it, I listen to lots of bands stuck in their own game. This doesnt change the fact that you guys should listen to King Crimson / and or Suffocation a little more before ultra-boosting Amon Amarth and Dark Tranquillity tho, hahaha.
Discussing music on the internet always ends up being kind of weird.
Didn't DT kind of help make Melodic Death metal what it is today?
