Are you saying that COB aren't as talented as we all think they are??
Show me the part where i wrote that and i would say yes...
but i can´t say yes...
btw. i don´t know how
u think how talented they are...
Sure are CoB talented.. partly talented as hell !!!
But it don´t makes good music if u r "just" talented...
U have to make sth. out of ur talent !!!
And, sorry, but he or they could do
much much more...
Their music is little bit stagnated...
slowly they r beginning to copy themself....
If you are, you dont know what your talking about. Alexi started studying violin at age 7, and played classical music, he is a classically trained musician, and he puts it to goo use, probably better than a lot of other bands. He started playing guitar at age 10, and his violin training definately helped with that, fingering and what not. Janne, is also a classically trained musician also.
Take as an example: You´re better of Dead - at about 2:26 until about 3:06
What r they doing there ? First the keyboard and then the guitar.. they´re playing quite difficult, but the part has nothing to do with the rest of the song !!
It could fit in every Song from them... nearly in every Rock-Song it would fit either.... and parts like them -> it must not be difficult to be good !!!! - If
u think it has to be... sorry no future
Melodies, Solos, Drumfills, Basslines, Songlines - it all have to fit to the whole song. It has to bring some atmosphaere so that text AND song brings u the feeling of what he´s talking about !!!
In Germany we say .. "Manchmal ist ein bisschen weniger mehr!!!"
And please don´t subordinate me things i didn´t say and i even don´t think !!
a friend of mine is playing guitar for.. uh i don´t know exactly.. probably 10 years ? and the last 4 years he´s doing nothing besides it!!
If u watch him playing, ur eyes even can´t follow his fingers...
But watch him playing live with his band and u would laugh ur ass off !!!
Their songwriting is bad as a mountain high !!
