the fact you put in a p.s. to win makes my soul giggle, but I won't argue.

Technical virtuosity has essentially zero appeal to me regarding music. If anything I listen to exemplifies a high technical proficiency, it's merely coincidental because I find the actual compositions themselves and the atmosphere that it produces to be sound.
Psyopus and Beneath the massacre both bore me.I don't care that much for technical skill, at times I will definitely be impressed by say, solid or fast skilled drumming, great guitar solos but it depends on the type of music, and what I'm looking for. For me, the music as a whole is what means most, not a level of skill.
I strongly dislike technical death metal or music that puts far too much emphasis on technicality. It doesn't at all interest me, and I often find it boring. A band like Psyopus just isn't my thing.
I have a story of amazing success.
So my brother used to despise metal, listened to stuff like Modest Mouse, Neko Case, that type of deal. I could dig his music, so I could never diss it, while he'd be raggin on my music. I started playing my stuff that caught him in inescapable situations, so he first started to dig powermetal, Mainly Hammerfall and Dragonforce, and I slowly progressed to the heavy stuff, now he digs Belphegor a whole lot, Mastodon, Type O Negative, some Cannibal Corpse, but I still have to get him to REALLY accept deathmetal, but I'm on my way.
I don't want my friends forcing me to listen to music I don't like, so why the fuck should I be such a pretentious snob and force my beliefs on them? I'm not saying I've never played anything for them and that I never talk about it, but I don't pretend that what I'm saying it important to them or that my musical taste is superior to theirs.
