Hey, you said that stereotyping metal bands that way shows how little we know about them, your stereotype of Indie music shows just how little you know about that 'type' of music.
I calling them shit isn't a stereotype. It's an opinion.
They're shit. Couldn't care less WHAT they wear. I know enough about music to know that Keane, Embrace, Thirteen Senses, The Thrills, The Stills, Hope of the States and all those shit bands are just clones. Pointless ones. Jumping on the bandwagon.
Saying how little I know isn't a position you're in when you have one of the world's most MEDIOCRE and boring bands in your signature.
Why dont you stop talking grow your hair and fantasise just how amazing it would be if we still lived in the eighties. The decade that good musical taste forgot.
I never forgot about the 80s. Besides the shit Pop wave, it was one of the best times. Don't talk to me about Music like I'm some know nothing just coz you don't like the fact that I picked at your favourite band.
That's nice. Really that's very nice. Now, enlighten me, what's your point? I don't actually care what those bands look like. I don't care if they look somewhat similar. I just don't care. Why you've spent all that time digging up pictures of those bands is beyond me. It's true that quite a lot (but not all) metal bands have a similar image, but, and I'm sorry to repeat myself, I don't care. Also, I don't like Iced Earth or Amon Amarth, and I have a right to point out that all these ''indie'' bands do look the same, because they do. At least the metal bands have personality in their image.
I don't need to defend metal against the attacks you're making, because one, I don't care about their image, and two, the comments you've made about metal bands being talentless hacks hiding behind distortion is laughable. I'd just love to hear Bloc Party attempting to write a stunning 15 minute epic love song switching between loud and electric and soft and acoustic in such a seamless way you don't even notice the change, because that's what Opeth do. You haven't heard these bands, so don't even try to judge their musical ability, that's just idiotic.
It's a fact that Meshuggah are better musicians than The Libertines, it's a fact that the Dark Tranquility lead guitarist would melt the The Killers guitarist face, it's a fact that Lajon Witherspoon's singing voice makes every indie vocalist sound like a silly little child. We're into facts now.
And let me point out to you seeing as you seem to have once again ignored me and taken me for a metalhead, metal only covers around 30% of my musical taste. It's not my favorite genre, and most of my favorite bands are not metal bands.
dont attack other genre's of music on the basis of image if you dont want someone to throw it back in your face...
as for the rest of your points...totally subjective and in my opinion (and it needs to be said...the opinions of more people than not) that those points are total horse shit...
just because you can wank a guitar at a rate of knots it doesnt mean that you have to in order to show a talent...
screaming into a mic doesn't constitute talent either
so some real facts
bloc party are magnificent...opeth are shit...and thats all there is to it...
Holy hell. Obviously you have trouble with reading, so here goes, one last time:
I don't care about their image. They may all look similar, yes, but I don't care.
How can you throw something I don't care about in my face? Image means nothing to me, I just commented on the fact that all those bands look alike, which they do. Kind of mirrors the sound really.
Seriously, haha, you keep digging yourself into a deeper hole here. You haven't heard these bands, so stop making blind assumptions. Dark Tranquility have solos and riffs that are 100% percent melodic, no errr ''guitar wanking'' involved. And Lajon Witherspoon was a gospel and soul singer before he joined his band, he literally NEVER screams. Good guesses though, but next time, try getting actual facts to back up your statements
''Opeth are shit'', wow that sentence on it's own would be funny enough, but you had to make it better by including the ''Bloc Party are magnificent'' part. Even people who dislike Opeth acknowledge their talent as musicians, well, those who actually understand music.
ok...so opeth are talented musicians...who make shit music..
i can read perfectly...but once again...dont play the image card for one genre and try yo use it to take the piss when the genre you are arguing for do the exact same thing...
as for you AC...if you think bloc party are in the same musical genre as keane and coldplay then you obviously dont have a clue about music as you claim to
you can be as skilled as you like...if you are going to choose to make pish music like metal then at least either try to do something that doesn't require using every cliche in the metal textbook
The fact is, they're better musicians than Bloc Party will ever be. I'm not putting them in the same genre as Keane and Coldplay, just the same catagory.
Boring, bland music. If you don't know any better and have been sucked in to thinking that this band are actually doing something new and clever, then lets all laugh at you.
There's absolutely nothing about Bloc Party above mediocre, at all.
