I totally agree with you. But I remember when I use to listen to 'radio shit' a long time ago I wouldn't just say "XXXXX is shitty". I gave everything a fare chance. And I still do. I hear stuff on the radio almost everyday from other people listening to it. I believe most of it is very pathetic. It's stupid to give somebody a bad member rating just because you don't agree with that person.
I can understand how somebody that doesnt play the guitar himself doesnt see the genuise behind the guitar playing in bands like children of bodom. But this was coming from somebody from the Jackson forum who most likely plays the guitar. If he honestly thinks that music with nothing but power chords slaughters bands that not only play the power chord rythms, but also plays leads and melodies over top of it and mix in keyboards then i think he has some problems. Just the basic power chord rythms is the bare minimum that music needs and that is just about all that 'nu' metal does. If I wanted to I could make power chord rythms all day and pump out songs one after another. Hell, I could do that when I first started playing. None of these nu metal bands try to push any standards, they do what makes money and that is probably all that matters to them.
Becuase of MTV and shit like I think they have convinced people that nu metal is 'cool'. So now that all these dumbass people are trying to be 'cool' they won't give any different styles of music a chance unless they see it on tv with somebody telling them it is 'cool'. That is my opinion anyways. If somebody believes that I'm wrong then please enlighten me.
