Metal >/< Classical? Metal Vs. Classical?

[Nico]

Oooh... how very cinematic

 

[adnilem]

That's incredible....

 

[Snyper]

[anonymousnick2001]

Oooh... how very cinematic

Isn't it? Almost too good to be true.

 

[Anarkissed]

LEGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I LOVE YOU ANONYMOUSNICK2001!!!!!!1111!!111

 

[MightyA]

It seems your professor used to think that METAL = Saxon & Mötley Crüe

 

[antipopular]

Check out Therion..specifically - "Secret of the Runes"

Great job dude. Kinda makes me feel better, dont know why.

 

[frycus]

The outcome is kind of ironic considering the first thing mentioned in the All Music Guide review of Cryptopsy's Whisper Supremacy album - which contains Cold Hate, Warm Blood - is "Cryptopsy has sacrificed so many things — among them melody, harmony, discernable rhythm, and song structure — for the sake of one overriding goal: extreme brutality." It is true that you can read afterwards that Cold Hate, Warm Blood does contain some melody in the opinion of the reviewer but this is pretty funny nonetheless.

Could you put an MP3 link up so we can check the song out ?

Great story. Make him listen to some Opeth next.

 

[ChrisEmerson]

yes, you are assuming there that AMG knows what the fuck they are talking about.

I cant quite understand why you chose Cryptopsy, but oh well..

 

[Post_Scriptum]

So you proved him wrong? \m/

 

[anonymousnick2001]

Yeah, I did.

I played him a song that he didn't understand on the first listen.

 

[Post_Scriptum]

Hahaha awesome

 

[Sfarog]

it just dawned on me.. you know whats a great example of the music you can play in a situation like that?

Diabolic Masquerade - Death's Design

 

[anonymousnick2001]

How so?

 

[ViCyniC]

Yeah, I did.

I played him a song that he didn't understand on the first listen.

So his criteria was basically obscurity? All this time I though he wanted quality and composition, no offense to Cryptopsy or anything. Hell, you could've played some southern style rap, and he might have been impressed. Their words are hard to make out, too.

 

[T-Rat]

wait, i am trying to find this, but what did you actually end up playing for him?
(ps, i teach and i am glad he didn't turn out to be such a lame-o! you aren't worth shit as a teacher if you aren't always learning from your students!!!)
and is that you and a catfish?

 

[the_drip]

Damn that's cool.


another mind opened.

Cryptopsy rules! tech death is the shit.

don't dog on Classical music ever though. It's leagues ahead of anything else in terms of musicality, complexity and feeling. Metal is on its heels...

I would love to think what someone like Beethoven could do with death metal instrumentation.

 

[anonymousnick2001]

Oh, dude--totally. Classical music owns all. I know this from playing viola for ten years, man.

And no, although that is a catfish in the picture, I am not the whiteboy getting cockraped by it...
