the clincher... fable has always had erectile disfunction...

its never been long or hard enough to have any fun with

I am utterly dumbfounded by peoples stupidity ... I mean no real offense with that comment, just that people are too easy to label music as a certain "genre"

Let me put it this way - someone mentioned Green Day & Red Hot Chili Peppers as being "indie" music ... but indie stands for "Independent" as in unsigned, it is a term that was applied to bands like the Stone Roses who had no label at the time ...

Green Day = Pop Punk/ Californian Punk/ Skate Punk much like Pennywise, Blink 182 or Charlotte. It's their roots, Green Day still play "Punk" music in the same vein, it's harmonised the exact same way ... it's more intelligent and it has a more experienced feel to it, but *** me they've been playing for 13 years if they still sounded like they did in 96 you'd have to question their musical ability ...

The one thing I found funny is when people class "Placeno" as being "emo" ... or "The Cure" or other such bands, these are artists that have forged their way under the "Goth" banner and then not even quite fitting in there.

Labelling music is too easy, it's easy to brand an entire genre of music as "crap" and then say you don't like that genre, but if you do that then you limit your choice and start sounding like some sort of musical racist...

For instance, how would people class Gnarls Barkley, I love his music and his style, many would say he was "rap" but to me he is more "soul" ... I prefer the massive sweeping genres - Pop, Rock, Alternative, Jazz, Classical & Dance - within those "genres" I find music I like - Girls Aloud, Bon Jovi, Lemon Jelly, Jools Holland, Ennio Morricone & Cascade - and I find music I really don't like - The Cheeky Girls, YouMeAtSix, Bjork, anything Beligian, Greogorian Chants & So Solid Crew ... It's no longer a matter of not liking a genre, it's a matter of what music someone is making and if I like that or not ... these sub catagories can go on forever, I mean I once heard someone refer to a band I like, who I would class as Rock, and if pushed say "Alt. Rock" as "post metalcore screamo" what the *** does that mean? wtf is metalcore and wtf is screamo? back in the day it was "grunger" as a derogatory term for any "alt. rock" but since then the same people have been labelled as "goths" "emos" and a myriad of other things ... It makes no sense that these people are all labeled the same, someone who listens to Nirvana probably won't like YouMeAtSix or Sisters of Mercy, but they are lumped in the same catagory ...

Anyways, mini rant on labelling over, I am like maggot, 2 genres - Music I like and Music I don't like.

and yes I just said I like Girls Aloud so sue me

Yeah sorry, I just wasnt thinking right at that point I was trying to write a comment while getting my neice a sleep so the whole punk rock and alt rock genres went straight out of my head along with the rest lol. So I couldnt think of a genre to put them in, so popped them in indipendant. But me saying I dislike a genre doesnt mean I hate every song in it, placed in that genre, just most songs ive heard from that particular genre havent been great in my opinion.

Yeah I like to judge music on there own merits but the thread was about which music did you dislike so I thought it would be easier to class thinks in genres then to list every song I hated lol.

I hate any band that is universally loved by the American people. I usually hate these bands because the American society is stupid. They follow anything that a celebrity or MTV tells them. (I'm an American, so I feel somewhat qualified to make that statement.) That goes for books and movies as well.

But back to music, I hate what rap has become. every rapper is the same, there is no originality. Lil Wayne and Eminem are the only modern rappers that I like because they're somewhat original. I also hate Coldplay for reasons I do not know.

I hate (quite literally) so called Death Metal.

The whole scene is overrun by would be d whorshippers and nationalistic racists that are barely old enough to know what they are screaming about. They use the (morally) lowest common denominator to capitalize on. A lot of them idolize a regime that would have had them just as soon deported or killed on the spot, talk about idiocy.

Which is followed on the heal by (Gangsta) Rap music.

A scene overrun by people that portray blacks as inherently morally corrupt, Adolf would have loved their propaganda machinery: All blacks are wife beating gun lovers that do too much drugs and are afraid to work. They ain't "Gangsta" (the image Dillinger created of himself is what is), they are simply scum.

 

As for the OP's remark of bands not doing that much guitar masturbation anymore, well, that's because that is all it is in the end. It might take skill to pull off, but most of the time it sounds so terrible that you can only use it live when atmosphere and show are more important than sound.

Really ? I never really heard any death metal like that. Singing about satan and whatever stupid stuff they think people find scary yes but never racism. Sure there is some metal band with racistst in it somewhere but not overrun with it and only one i can really think of it Burzum (and that is not death metal ...).

Racism doesnt have anything to do with death metal (actually one of the few death metal bands i listen to had a black guitarists until a few monts back when he got knee injuried), actually there is a lot more anti racism stuff going on with all the stuff i have listened to. just like it doesnt have anything to do with pop rock even though there is some.

Cute Nazis.

But yeah, about every racist metal band I heard can be stylistically grouped in death metal, they might be a minority in the scene but I'm not willing to subject myself to that genre long enough to find out. *shrug*

Man I listen to all kinds of music, Artists Ranging from John lee Hooker to Avenged Sevenfold, I have an appreciation for musicians,  as for the comment about guitar masterbation, you look at Guitarist like Page or Hendrix ect. if the guitarist is and it adds to the song. I am for expressing yourself on the instrument. Hell there was a period not to far in the distant past where guitarist were having issues playing in tune, and they played it off  during shows as " we don't do those things because it's guitar masterbation.  and that is B.S. they did not do it because their understanding and ability on the guitar was to say the least lacking.  They might get away playing that off to a lay. but I know better.

I do not like music that I feel has inaduquate musicians, I can hear that type of dribble any night at a local pub. as for a particular artist there are a few.  But music is an art form and what is art and beautiful to others may not be to me.  So  out of respect I will not take shots at any artists specificlly.

---

I don't think I've heard a notable amount of racist lyrics in 'death metal' songs. I wouldn't be able to think of any off the top of my head.

There's a lot of religion bashing though!

Meh the only metal genre i know of that got some bands like that is black metal (like Burzum, Infester and thors hammer).

deliriousstudios:

Which is pretty funny especially with slayer where Tom Araya is pretty christian and they have albums like "god hate us all"

---

I think you can find music in (almost) any genre if you are willing to wade through it.  you would be surprised at the guitar licks I have learned from the most unlikely bands.  you would just never expect it.

---

Yeah, but it's not all bashing apparently!! Finnish metal band Lordi have songs like Hard Rock Hallelujah and The D is a Loser. (although it's not death metal, so meh).

And they won the Eurovision...so I suppose that's more music I dislike. But that's because it's all mostly pretty bad anyway by anyones standards.

---

The only thing worse than beating a dead horse is betting on one.

Well so much of it is math metal and percussive peddling, for that approach  these bands should be eternally indebted to Metallica and Megadeth.  I am not disagreeing with your point, it's not much fun to listen to. It's brutal. and I suppose that is how it is meant to be. even their leads are generally ostinato's  in E minor. or if they are feeling creative E harmonic minor. with very little  meaningful vibrato.  but there are a few exceptions  like Dimmi Borgir. I am not saying you would dig them, but they are musicians.

ShadowRage41:

...as for the comment about guitar masterbation, you look at Guitarist like Page or Hendrix ect. if the guitarist is and it adds to the song.

That's the point, there are Guitarists that are and that can play a soli that doesn't make your ears bleed listening to, but there was a wave in Metal where it seemed like every musician (regardless of actual talent) thought he had to become the next Malmsteen and was torturing you with minutes long Guitar soli on a fecking studio album. I guess that pretty much killed my appreciation for it.

But there's worse, there's drum soli, which I find quite more pointless on a studio production.

"I don't care if the audience watches my movies, long as my producer doesn't lose money."
-Jean-Luc Goddard

I hate any artist who had a unique identity, and then, just for the sake of popularity and money, they've bought into the whole R&B craze, and now automatically think they're black.

Justin Timberlake, Nelly Furtado, I'm looking at you.

Also, anybody that listens to distinctly average music, and only thinks it's incredible because nobody else seems to like it, even though they're not in the music industry, just makes me angry. My friend, although he's a nice enough guy, thinks I care about all these obscure bands that make songs with just them chanting into a fruit bowl while making a cup of tea or some other garbage because I happened to like Godspeed You! Black Emperor, and Silver Mt Zion, and now I'm absolutely plagued by the crap he calls "Absolute artistic genius, it's almost like I'm chanting into the fruit bowl myself, I need to get these on FLAC".

Goddamn people, if you're so pretentious about your music, just get children, then I'm sure the ambient sounds will render your knees like jelly.

Oh, and I hate people that like popular music for no other reason than the fact it's popular, same as the last rant, it's bordering on religious zealousness the way these fans throw themselves at whatever flavour of the month emo shite has came out lately.

Oh, and any person that's ever said the phrase "MCR helped me out of a bad time in my life, my hamster recently died, and my mum burnt the beans on toast, I wanted just to kill myself an get free of this mortal coil, but the lyrics in [insertshittyname] really helped me back from my deep, deep depression. CARROTS AND MUFFINS, LOL X" should seriously die, in a fire.

My sister, for all the horrible things about her that makes me simply wish I'd been born an only child, actually doesn't have a horrible taste in music. I don't like her taste in music, but at least she doesn't become some kind of nazi whenever I insult it.


Now I'll just get back to my Floyd. :3

---

I only wrote this because I hate you.

To me, when it comes to bands, they need to impress me with what they've done.

I can't say all hip-hop is ***, but the new 'rap', even if you want to call it that, makes me want to tear out my eyes with a fork. Lil Wayne, Soulja Boy, any rap 'artist'(and I use that term loosely).

Well to me, there ain't no school but the old school.

---

what is this I don't even

To be honest, i can't stand most Rap, Pop, Hip-hop etc. My reason behind this is that i use music as a way to release stress, and i can relate to Heavy Metal, because it usually has a deeper meaning behind it. Such as political, or religious

. Rap, Pop, Hip-hop and that sort of music is just a bunch of uneducated twats singing about sex, drugs, gangs and other such crimes. It makes me angry to think that the majority of my age group (i'm 13, by the way) just follow the crowd by listening to whatever is considered 'cool'. These people generally are trying to be something they're not.. Just trying to get in with the popular people.

I've realised in the past few years that trying to be something your not is a waste of time.. Life is too short to be worrying about who you should be trying to mirror.. Listening to Heavy Metal has really opened my eyes to a new aspect of life. I've made far better friends by being myself than most of the so called 'popular' people have. They think they have friends.. They're not real friends.. To be honest, todays culture and obsession of who looks the best, has the most expensive clothes and the best boyfriend/girlfriend just makes me sick..

Also, to the person that said Marilyn Manson is a freak, i have something to say to you. What makes him different from anybody else? The fact that he's individual? The fact that he's not another generic rapper? I personally don't like Marilyn Manson, but that doesn't give me the right to call him a freak. [/rant]

EDIT: Another reason that Metal is my preferred genre is because it actually takes musical talent, not just some fast talking or computer enhanced squeals. Personally, the way I see it.. you need actual talent to sing / scream and play instruments at the pace and intensity that Metal bands do, but to sing a few words into a microphone at a slightly-faster-than-talking pace seems lacking.

I don't like generic shitty music.

...
and emo does not stand for emotional. it stands for emotive hardcore. in other words, music with high pitches for 'screamers' and a guitar vs. bass type of sound. such as the bass going up the scale while the guitar goes down. fall out boy is not emo, they're pretty much in a long line of pop punk bands like green day or foo fighters or paramore.

continueing... i hate music that isn't passionate and tries to be or when musicians/bands do it for the money. you can be simple, or clever as long as it (i know this is so cleche) comes from the heart to emulate your emotions. s'all to me.

You see I like Lordi and Turisas and that kind of pantomime metal (best way I can think to describe it) because of the pantomime, it makes their live shows bloody brilliant, and that's what the real thing for music is with me I like music that is live

Foo Fighters are brilliant live, Lordi are brilliant live, Placebo are brilliant live etc etc

You have seen the way this guy looks havent you, now I'm not a fashion nazi but *** me, he's all pall and skinny like a crack addict he's got mouth full of metal that just doesnt suit him and the guy looks better with all that white stuff on, he wears think long leather coats built for  this guy

when he has the body of this guy

No I disagree rappers like twister dispite the fact that I hate his music is gifted with the ability to sing that fact, any one can do screamo, I could scream at the top of my lungs while impersinating a ds voice screaming out random ***.I dont see no pace or intensity I see some arsehole screaming at the top of his lungs random hate music. Its also funny that most of the bullied kids turn into doing heavy metal music, maybe its becuase they didnt have the balls to scream this stuff and the guy whooping him so they have to scream it on stage to other people such as them.

Well everybody know country music is the most likey to make u KILL yourself!!! so thats off my list for sure, i just cant stand it! all they sing about is a dead dog, a dead truck, or a dead relationship. its mostly sad but even the happy ones are twisted with revenge on those who screwed around, its music for total b****es!

Next i've got problems with rock now, mainly because most of that stuff is like 40 yrs old! mann they should really throw that noize in tha garbage cause its haggard and overkilled/overplayed whateve. Recycled junk in my mind, if we got rid of it all there wouldnt be a problem we might even circle back to rock in the future for genres to start exploring again but naw that wont happen because ppl r silly.

and pop can go suck one, cause it goes down easy don't it? its not my style, enough said.

Lastly the mainstream is weak with their tuneskies, all i hear from the radio is complete crap 24/7 and its funny because if i had that kind of equpement that others have id be producin sick music or at least playin that underground sound for others mann..
