but we're democratic. we are the band. kinda like 'we, the people'. or 'we are the world'. rather, 'we are the future children of tomorrow', like the mr.t experience used to say. and i have a ph.d., by the way.

To keep up with the off topic, I have a degree in mathematics
for what it's worth? I'm a master lithographer (which took longer to achieve than my degree) -

You could always try sending one of the members a PM. I'm sure they wouldn't mind.
I wonder about this too actually. Listening to Skydancer and thinking about how they had no lessons in musicology or on their instruments, I think, they must have been really smart at everything to be able to pull that album out of ignorance to the technicalities, and the way music works. Is it linked though? Could a dumbass make a beautiful piece of music? You need to be enlightened in some way to something beautiful. I get the impression they knew about art, and they knew about artisitic innovation (avantegarde maybe?) and were at least slightly aware of the importance of the music they were making. Maybe they did philosophy... I'm sure knowing your philosophy could help someone make interesting music. I'm really ranting now.
I have no qualifications really. Got a bunch of Bs and As at GCSE (got a D in german )... waiting for the results on some A levels... Gonna go get a Bsc in creative music and sound technology if I work hard for the next 2 years.

Contrary to popular belief metal is not hard to compose at all and is only moderately difficult to play in most cases. The real talent comes from being perseverant, finding a good band chemistry and not becoming stale.

Well, what do you mean by metal? Have you ever heard Necrophagist? Have a listen to any of their two albums, but preferably Epitaph and then talk about metal being easy to compose (btw. the first one Onset of Putrefaction was done by one man only, so much for the chemistry thing, which I agree with in most cases, but there are many exceptions).

I think it depends what sort of metal you're writing to be honest. There's stuff which is genuinely musically mature, like Dark Tranquillity or Katatonia or Nile (you get me?) and then there's stuff like Atreyu, Simple plan and Bullet for my Valentine, which we won't talk about ok?Misanthrope said:

I don't think so, writing lyrics is just as simple as writing rap music, everybody get a lot of thoughts and that's all about, is not about "smart people", however is not the same for writing really good lyrics than simple commercial lyrics, if you mean it.

Look at Lyrics of (e.g.) Cannibal Corpse or Bolt Thrower... I don't want to say they're bad but definitely no lyrical highlights.
