What other GMDers influenced your music taste the most?

[CiG]

Trivium at least has riffs.

Not really.

 

[The Butt]

Trivium is gay.

 

[CiG]

With shitty riffs.

 

[Onder]

Garbage.

 

[The Ozzman]

I shitpost and insult people all the time btw

So, you admit to breaking the forum rules? Is that what you're saying?

Please stop. People complain about this all the time with you.

Trivium is better than Emperor

Wrong thread

Trivium at least has riffs on the first two albums.

Fixed that for you

Anthems is pretty much the black metal equivalent of ADHD, so meh. "More musical ideas thrown together obviously means more depth". Lol.

Also I love how seemingly offended crimsonfloyd is getting about this.

I'm not offended by the fact that some people don't get it. I honestly don't expect the majority to. High art is rarely for the majority. That said I will push back against people feeling to relativism to justify a lack of analysis or understanding, and I do expect people to explain and substantiate their positions, especially if they want to nit-pick my substantiated position.

 

[CiG]

The only high art I care about is some reefer and Saint Vitus.

 

[viewerfromnihil]

I mean, I like Anthems and all, but Emperor isn't high-art

edit: LISTEN TO FUCKING STOCKHAUSEN IF YOU WANT HIGH ART

To all the people that rip on me for liking demos, the last two Autopsy records pre-split up, Abscess in general, early Mortician:

IT'S HIGH ART AND I WOULDN'T EXPECT YOU TO GET IT.

Dude, Shitfun is the highest of the high art. It's so high art that even Autopsy fans don't like it. The only thing higher art than Shitfun is Seminal Vampires and Maggot Men.

 

[CiG]

YOU JUST DON'T GET IT.

 

[no country for old wainds]

surely the first port of call for a "masterful exploration of evil" should be to actually sound even a little bit evil, rather than like cornball circus music. i'm generalising a little, but it's ridiculously heavy-handed stuff for the most part, which ain't a quality i associate with 'high art'.

 

[viewerfromnihil]

DRUM MACHINES CAN'T MAKE HIGHART

 

[Omni]

Folkloric Necro Metal is high art.

 

[CiG]

Black metal that tries to be art is usually shit, give me alcoholic Satanist slut worshipping goat music instead.

 

[viewerfromnihil]

Grand Declaration of War is high art. You all can go die.

 

[RedStorm]

you can all go die, this is the only black metal worthy of being called art

The only high art that could be made from a bedroom:

Your standards for what constitute "high art" are pretty low if you consider Anthems "high art". :V

It's okay. We can't all be winners.

(Inb4 some "i know you are but what am I"-esque quip)

 

[Master_Yoda77]

This is high art.
