Not really. Listen to whatever you want, it's not my business. What annoys me is that you write off your own opinions as fact. Like the claim that nightrage made " flawless " albums.
Yes, and everybody does that. Everybody in here praises their favorite albums. Say that these are only opinions, I'm still not the only one who ever does that, and whatever I say... I'm always wrong. AniMetal started this discussion by saying Melodic Death Metal was shit. I answer by saying it isn't, and who the fuck does mister Sporky picks at? Me.
This is exactly what you do minus the music part. And I accuse you of not knowing music because you DON'T know music. Hell, you may actually think you do, but you don't. You've never elaborated on any musical claim, you never explain yourself. Relevantly anyway.
I do explain myself, all the time. Now go suck a fat one. Your only argument against me was that I can't understand music because I don't play an instrument. Which is still and will forever be the dumbest argument to ever use to claim that someone doesn't know shit about music. I also remember that when you said that stupidity, everybody destroyed your poor argument.
I do not explain myself in terms you consider important. All you really care about is the ability to talk about the maths behind the music. You think you understand a band because you can name the technique the guitarist uses. That's so fucking dumb. This is just like reading a book and judging solely on the form and not the content.
I'm just so tired about your urges to fight we me. Reading everything you post is so depressing... You never have any kind of point to proove me wrong. And whenever the debate doesn't go your way, you start explainning the scales, the chords played and the tempo of the riff. Just... quit, for God's sake, you are pathetic.
Ok, notice how I said I THINK. Oh hey, look how you're going off on someone who has a different opinion than you. God damn you are stupid.
I don't give a shit if you don't think the same as I do, Really. I only care about the fact that you do it because IT'S ME. You argue for the sake of picking a dumb fight with me.
You see, this is what I mean, your idea of describing music is saying " they do this.... then they do that. "
Which is perfectly ok. At least for most people. I write reviews for MA, I even share them with the Metal Hell, and people like them. I get good feedback on these, and I explain quite well why I like and why I dislike some artists. But hey, if you said I don't know shit about music... fuck the 30 peoples who said otherwise, they probably don't know anything about music either.
What picking method? Alternate picking across a natural minor scale. That's just a stupid question to ask given that there really aren't that many different ways to pick. Unless you meant something else.
what kind of chord progression they use
Minor triads- i ii* III iv v VI VII
Because that's relevant, right?
Yeah, bands like this just write one riff using the Aeolian mode in ssssaaaayyy C and then move the same mode into uhh idk G, because circle of fifths.
I like this. Because the riff in itself doesn't count for you. So two bands who use this same method to write a riff will automaticaly end up writting the same riff, right? No, of course not. If a band uses that method and doesn't expend on it or just end up playing something that isn't appealing to the ear, than yeah, maybe it's a generic band. But the riffs Nightrage writes are good. They feel right to my ears and the band always had this great energy in their playing that make me want to listen to their music again. Using an argument based simply on the description of the song-writting process of a band is a great display of an incapacity to understand music fully.
But whatever, keep pretending to know more about music then me. The fact that I listen to so many different bands, of so many different musical genres, of so many different countries isn't relevant when it comes to evaluating my musical knowledge, because I am no musician and I can't name all the theorical crap you can. Good for you.
Everything that isn't progressive, avant-gardist or complex is shitty and generic.
When did I say this? You're pulling this out of your ass.
No, I'm pulling this out of your own fucking posts. If a band uses a vastly used method to write their riffs, does that make them generic? Of course not. Because you have to consider more than the theorical part of music. The song-writting isn't the only important part. Arguing on music by only stating the song-writting methods, is like judging a cook by his method of cooking and not the final product. Same goes for a visual artist, you judge a painting by the method the artist used to paint it? Or by the final product?
I'm not saying it's useless to know the methods, but claiming I don't know shit about music because I don't argue based on em? Really?
