R.I.P. Chester Bennington.

I'm not asking for an endorsement of their music. But to pretend them to be musical amateurs on delusional.

Lol.

What is it that you are exactly asking for then? Most of the musicians i listen to are farrrrr more skilled at what they do.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

they do not have a high bar of talent and they are indeed a shitty metal band. Stop pretending like they're some kind of technically inclined musicians, when they play generics as fuck shit that just about any other metal band can play with their eyes closed.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Jeff Loomis is a thousand times the guitarist that friedman is. And i dont like nevermore either.

So yesterday I was reading my biology textbook and suddenly right in the middle of a chapter on genetics it turned into an argument between TB and HP about Manowar. That same day I had to go into town to do some shopping and written in graffiti on a wall was an argument between TB and HP about Manowar. Today when I woke up and read the newspaper in the domestic news section there was an argument between TB and HP about Manowar. Then later I was out walking the dog and I saw two planes via skywriting holding an argument about Manowar.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Generic, except for the fact that they pioneered what they're doing. Manowar was one of the first power metal bands, and Mötley Crüe is very arguably the first glam metal band. Simplicity and complexity does not define the quality of the musicianship. Robert White played some of the most simple riffs ever, that doesn't change the fact of them being musical prime movers.

oh so now wwe are moving onto whether they are influential or not? Is that what we were arguing about? I mean, i just told you i think they're a vomit inducing band and you think mentioning their disgusting influence is going to get some points with me? Do you actually think i give any bit of a shit about most of the bands they influenced?

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

They weren't the first power metal band and you really need to stop implying that they were one of the first or pioneering trad metal bands. They were nothing more than an average, generic as fuck heavy metal band pumping out albums during a time where much better(and faaar more talented) bands were releasing much better albums. Shit, thrash was sizzling att. But i can see how someone who also appreciates garbage like glam and what not would also enjoy manowar and consider them to be great musicians.

 

[Talos of Atmora]

Quorthon sure thought they were talented due to the sheer amount of Manowar influence there is in his work after Under the Sign of the Black Mark.

 

[Vegard Pompey]

So I saw your post at the top of this page and for a moment I thought you were talking about Linkin Park influence on Bathory. You should edit out the name 'Manowar' just to momentarily confuse people.

EDIT: Instead you edited your post to make it more apparent you were talking about Manowar.

 

[Talos of Atmora]

I agree but that's an argument from authority fallacy.

Yeah, but I made sure to put examples in order to ameliorate that.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

talos once again showcasing that English just does not work for her.

I never said anything about them NOT being influential. I even pointed that out a few times. I like how you twats just try to steering the arguments all over the place. Do i need to link you guys back to posts that you just read?

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

My last few posts are spot on, you can go back and keep rereading them. And i find it funny that you butthurt faggot fanbois are going from thread to thread trying to explain to me why you think they're good.

How can depression leading to a suicide be selfish?

Selfishness implies a clear consciousness and a kind of sober purposefulness.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

The fact that he seemingly pre-meditated his suicide to coincide with Chris Cornell's birthday would imply a clear consciousness. Dude went out like an egomaniac. I don't even give a shit about his kids or anything, this just looks like a really lame, attention-whoring suicide and I'm not convinced that it can be called primarily a result of clinical depression.

 

[CiG]

Fair enough, I actually didn't know about the Cornell thing.

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

yea, not so sure about the whole thing being pre-meditated to coincide with Cornells bday thing.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

Pure Coincidence(tm), amirite

 

[TechnicalBarbarity]

Maybe he was going through a rough patch and Cornells birthday triggered it? I dunno. Weren't they like best friends or something? I think i've read something like that recently.

 

[no country for old wainds]

yeah he was the godfather of cornell's son and sang at his funeral etc.

incidentally, ian curtis also killed himself on the same day, and cornell was a big fan i believe.

 

[no country for old wainds]

listening to some of bennington's interviews it seems he was a ticking time bomb who prolonged his life through putting all of his energy into his career/family. i get the impression quite a lot of successful people are like that; they succeed because they're super driven, and they're super driven not because they're 'following their dreams' or w/e but because they're escaping something or relentlessly trying to fill an unfillable hole. dude was bound to die as soon as he got caught in the wrong mood with no company and some drink in him. the anniversary of cornell's death probably triggered said mood.

 

[EspaDa]

Why then didn't he receive health care he needed?
