Pseudo Intellectuals and Opeth

[cityofthemoon666]

Ok, so ive got these friends who are the typical "free thinking arty people" you know open to everything blah blah blah, into tool etc beleive everything tool say etc

but id been bugging them to listen to a bit of opeth because i thought they might like it, i told them about the death vocals but the music was good, they are both musicians, really good musicians, drums and bass, they saw about half of lamentations and hated it, but the reason they gave me was that they both have a prejudice against guitar players, and because opeth is very guitar based they hated it, now, these are teh people that are supposed to be "open to every music" but they disregarded it one listen because "they dont liek guitarbased"

this pisses me off

does anyone have any wanky art people they know like this

 

[jaykeegan]

Sounds like they are a very narrow minded & a bunch of hypocrits to me.

 

[Episteme]

As you said, they are pseudo intellectuals. Although if they don't like it, that's their opinion and you can't change it but I do know why you're pissed off. They ain't any better off than anyone, they're just missing out on great music.

Opeth may be very guitar based some some good bass lines come out of it and even for the drums so cool beats and stuff

Show them Silhouette, fuck them in the ass, then slap them with a large trout. Then try the Lamentations process again.

 

[ChrisEmerson]

or tie them to a chair, hold their eyelids open and force lamentations into them repeatedly.

 

[jester00]

in that order?

 

[Ermz]

You gotta get sodomy into it.

 

[Nuk3m]

lol if all else fails stop being friends with them and fuck then in the ass...again but this time WITH the trout

Stupid Fucks

 

[Nico]

Trout and sodomy do NOT mix.

Surprising that a drummer doesn't like Opeth. Lopez is a badass drummer and he does stand out on a lot of the tracks. I play guitar and love guitar based music also, but with Opeth, a lot of times it's the drums that blow me away..

Props to Martin Lopez !!

Especially on Deliverance

 

[osse87]

Tell them about Martin Lopez!!

And ask them why they have a prejudice against guitar players when they claim to be so open minded.

 

[ChrisEmerson]

yeh lopez rules.

i thought they liked tool? isnt that guitar based?

 

[Protected Witness]

They don't like guitar based music, but they like Tool, huh?

 

[[KOTNO]Narrot]

tool is like not so guitarbased imo

 

[osse87]

They certainly don't have much synth in there (playing melodies, at least). But, you know, Tool is a very pseudo intellectual band-sort-of-thing.

Yea I don't consider tool very guitar based either. Don't even worry about converting your friends man. You tried once...Now let it go. It's the old saying "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink." I'm done converting my friends. I have one metal friend who I talk to about metal. That's all I need!

P.S Plus I have all of you! :Weeps a warm tear:

You said trout. That made me laugh. YAY
