Controversial opinions on metal

What a superficial and narrow way to evaluate music.

Not from a guitarists point of view it isnt. When you play an instrument you pick up on things. I relate this story as because in all the guitarists I watched I havent seen any play zero scales, which he did. I mean after the concert I wanted to lay down in the street like people did on that video they had where they say something to someone and they give up the ghost :tickled: ok I am being light hearted there.
 
Meh, OK Computer is my least favourite Radiohead album. It's still a work of genius, but it's the most commercial, radio friendly and single oriented of the lot. It's no coincidence they completely changed their sound after releasing it.
 
I still haven't listened to Radiohead's latest output. Why the fuck it's not on youtube? It's too fucking expensive to buy and I don't even know if I'd enjoy it.

I do believe it's not up because of copyright issues. I remember some guy tried uploading the tracks but had to replace them with free songs like old Mcdonald lol.
 
If Radiohead are 'overrated' it's only because they're one of the most consistently creative bands out there and they get praise heaped on them from all angles because of it.

And massive lol at rusty water calling Johnny Greenwood a shit musician because he doesn't play scales.
 
Gna have to back up TB here Cassette, you do seem to spend a disproportionate amount of time here in a strop about something. Not that I'm judging - you're just, uh, a very passionate defender of your opinions.

Who here doesn't defend their own opinions passionately? That's not even a criticism TB made of me, so you're siding with something he didn't even say.

As to the claim that I disproportionately get into strops on UM, prove it if you like. I think you'll find you're wrong though, there's only a few threads that are especially receptive to debates. This thread, Mort thread, news thread, politics thread.

A fraction of the threads I use in here.

I would expect a band who is so consistently creative to make music that's actually interesting.
 
@rusty water

The song linked directly above my post seems to use the phrygian dominant mode, which proves that Radiohead is acquainted with scales and uses them in their music, although I couldn't say how often they use this type of thing in their music because I don't listen to them.
