No worries. Just stirring the pot a little.

I hate black metal.

Christ, I'm not the only one?

Love Agalloch though.

 

[En Vind Av Sorg]

Good thing they aren't black metal!

beat me to it. I actually laughed when I saw that post.

i don't consider myself a prog snob. although i love a good few prog bands, i don't think that wankery is the key to good music. i just get bored sometimes with repetition and musical norms. i guess it's kind of a musical A.D.D.?

i don't dislike any genre of music. i just like some more than others. and i believ some have more respectable artists in them than others.

and you don't find immortal cheesy?


come on now... cheesyness isn't confined to powermetal. it's everywhere. i like celtic folk metal and i know alot of people think that's cheesy..... rhapsody, hammerfall, stratovarious...too cheesy for me. that doesn't mean i can't ejoy song or two of theirs once a week or so. sometimes cheesy can be fun.

P.S. Calamitus... Sav and Megadeth ftw...

there's something abnormally creepy about you, but i can't put my finger on it

Exactly. A good deal of folks around here seem to ignore this at times though.

Also, alot of this modern day jolly folk is cheesier than a Sonata Arctica/Edguy/Rhapsody supergroup. I mean, fucking Eluveitie with their New Wave of Folk Metal bullshit?!?

I never mentoned anything about cheese my argument is against musicianship.

Not to mention everyone hates black metal at first.

I know, I just hate it when musicians have a competent grasp of theory and technique, it just ruins the music.

agreed. it's not an assault on your taste, but why do you hate prog so much? there arealot of prog musicians who really do put alot of musical talent in their writing.

 

[neal]

because it sounds more like they're practicing scales than writing songs? wanky SHIT.

 

[En Vind Av Sorg]

Conversely, being a talented musician does not mean you are a good song writer. This is obvious if you listen to let's say, anything Yngwie has put out in the last decade really. Technicality and musicianship does not strip soul and emotion from music, songwriters simply fail to interject it.

Terms that should be banned from the human language:

"cheese" (pertaining to anything other than the delicious byproduct of milk)
"wank"

Agreed but it's next to never that technical music is incorporated with strong songwriting.

Ohh man, I could go to town with this one. I'll show some restraint though, you get an A for effort.

Edit: that wasn't for you neal, but I agree with the list. From now on all music will simply be referred to as BBS and ABS, before and after Black Sabbath.
