sometimes i really hate this forum...
Tastes and choices are one thing... but why that does make you hate this forum?!?
sometimes i really hate this forum...
i just think people take this stuff way too seriously and i don't like arguing on the internet... the faceless arguments where you have no idea of the context of where the person is coming from... you could be arguing about the merits of something with a 12 year old who has no musical foundation yet or matured tastes but is adamant at correcting you... not saying that has happened on this thread or not but it happens
My question is, who cares?
Is it not (creative, special, entertaining)? One opinion vs. another.For the most part, I dispise the Metal where the drummers play the constant 32nd notes for nearly an entire song. It's not creative, it's not special, it's not entertaining. It's become a competition to a lot of people who can play double bass faster... My question is, who cares? (...)
Ive been following this thread without voicing my opinion until now...I just read Sticks Easy's comments about mocking blastbeats, and it kinda got me po'd. If you hate something SOOOOO much, why? Why bother "mocking" it in your bands music? Obviously you like SOMETHING about it, otherwise, you wouldnt have wasted your time(according to you) writing a section in your beloved music to not leave a section out. Am I right? You dont see any metal guys throwing jazz parts, or blues parts in a metal song to mock that type of music, do you? Im a metal drummer, and I have nothing but respect for jazz drummers/blues drummers/rudimental drummers. Know why? Because I cant play jazz, blues, and only know 3 or 4 rudiments. Plain and simple. And just remember: Mockery is the most sincere form of flattery...
