Yngwie follows Alexi's trend...

[Wings of a dream]

When Yngwie Malmsteen was asked about the future of metal, he replied...


"I was in the car with my drummer the other day, and he had the radio on. I was like, "What the fuck?" There was this song by a metal band playing, and it was completely cacophonous. There was not one note that you could call "commercial." There was no hook, nothing. It was crazy, I think it was called System of a Down." - Yngwie Malmsteen



So I guess Alexi is not the only good/respectable musician that's enjoying System of a Down these days.

shouldn't this be in off topic?

I thought so, change it then.

And please if you have something to say, let it be something interesting at least, not just bash my thread by saying it should be somewhere else.

System Of A Down fucking rules... one of my favorite bands!!

 

[In Your Face]

I really can't stand SOD...

 

[CliffBurton]

Im not a huge SOAD fan. I do like their Vocals, and think they are excellent rythem players, but I dont like too many songs with just 3-4 simple rythem riffs tossed in.

moh well.

 

[Tut Ankh Amon]

i don't like them, but they are BY FAR the most creative mainstream band that sells nowadays.

And my drem is yelling to Yngwie "YOU FAT FUCK!" and kicking him in the nuts.

Speaking of ridiculously horrible music, I saw Korn's twisted transistor video the other day on mtv and I can't believe that's considered music. I could bash my head against my guitar and come up with better music than that....unbelievable.

[Blake]

[CadalMord]

Thanks I'll d/l it when I get home sometime tonight.

I dont understand how that's a compliment.

This is old isn't it?

Because....I'll just quote someone else...

Things that are "cacophonous," lacking "hooks" and are not "commercial" are generally considered positive qualities with regards to Metal. Considering Malmsteen's disdain for radio Metal, his being surprised by a (supposed) Metal band on the radio could only be interpreted as something that he sees as positive.

This is such a stupid fucking argument anyway, mainly because there's no way to tell what he means short of asking him.

That's bullshit.
Yngwie said it wasn't commercial, and that was the only compliment. Lacking 'hooks' too, perhaps, but 'cacophonous' in my language means 'suck'
