What are we listening to now? - Page 74

Psh.

Better singer? My dog.
Better guitarist? Anyone with three fingers.
Better bassist? Anyone with hands.

Okay, fine, they have the technical literacy of a moderate rock band or a terrible prog band, but they throw it all away being part of such a pathetically lame scene. They bring together the worst elements of nu-metal and screamo/emo into a twisted, vile, poser's-dream monstrosity.

I'm thinking you have no idea what you are talking about and you are just repeating what you here from other people.

I can back that up because they play music from just about EVERY scene, not just metal. Have you heard their covers? They play those better than the originals and I am not the only one that thinks that. Have you ever tried to play their stuff or have even watched anyone play it? Do you realize that Tommy can get just as high or even higher than Queen and still sound good? Do you realize that they don't have a verse or a chourus so they have to remember one long 5 minute piece of music, for every song? Do you realize that they recorded their albums live (I hope you know that means), which is very hard to do when you play math music?

Poser? Find another band that sounds even close to them?

I'm sorry, but nothing you could possibly say could even come close to making me listen to them again.

Yes, again. I have listened to them, and drew those conclusions myself.

piercehawkeye45 · 01-18-2007, 12:36 PM

I'm not trying to get you to listen to them, I could really care less. I just don't insult other people's music so I get defensive when someone insults mine without any idea how my music works.

Ibby · 01-18-2007, 11:17 PM

i just have total contempt for them and almost every single new band out there. It's nothing personal against YOU, just against them.

Ibby · 01-20-2007, 10:58 PM

Primus! whoo. Except you lose big points for the shakira, rammstien, and cake.

I don't listen based on a points system.

Teddybears "Soft Machine" album is pretty sweet. Especially "Cobrastyle", "Punkrocker" (camp), and "Little Stereo".

Ibby · 01-21-2007, 09:07 AM

By points I mean in my book. Good bands put your taste a little higher in my book, shitty ones lose them.

I don't think anyone cares about your taste.

That it is "what are you listening to" not "what you are listening to that you think Ibram would like".

There's nothing wrong with Cake!

Ibby · 01-21-2007, 08:31 PM

Yes, and? I didn't say anyone asked. I merely do my civic duty and inform others how good or terrible their taste is.

(guess which catagory you fall under)

We Are The Marauders - Brian Setzer (off his newest album, 13 - one of the best albums of the millenium, thus far. Great, intelligent rockabilly - very Stray Cats (duh), but a little heavier, nothing at all like his swing stuff he's mostly doing now)

Is that your insecurities about yourself talking or do you really think that it is your civil duty?

Ibby · 01-21-2007, 09:07 PM

Nah, I'm just being modest.
