I think most Beatle haters use their early (62-64) period to set their argument upon. As most fans of popular music know, this was not the most creative time in The Beatles life and they could very well be classed as the the quintessential pop band. However subsequent releases were innovative in terms of studio production, instrument manipulation, compositional structure and even subtle time changes. I like The Beatles and grew up with them. They are not my favourite band by a long chalk but as a relatively knowledgeable music fan, I tip my hat in their direction of shaping the popular musical landscape forever.
There are definitely bands around at that time that were more avant garde or experimental (13th floor elevators, Frank Zappa etc) yet The Beatles turned their back on easy two minute pop tunes and experimented with sound and what music could be within a relatively commercial context. I respect any fan that does'nt like The Beatles but who appreciates their contribution to music. When someone can constantly say that they are lame without really providing anything that may change my stance on my views, then I can only assume that they know nothing about the complexities of music and that they are only judging music purely on an aural level and not grasping the whole asthetic of what music is. Oomph, you are a complete arse and I have no trepidation in saying this. Your arguments are hollow and infantile and I cannot take ANY comparison you give between Godsmack and The Beatles and guess what.....I own 2 Godsmack albums!

You act like what you listen to is so underground. You know, one thing that metalheads, indie fans and people like yourself who still think its 1999 all seem to have in common is your distate for mainstream pop. Funny because I think pop has a lot more to offer than most genres, including metal. I'd take my Michael Jackson, Fleetwood Mac, Elton John, Queen, Todd Rundgren and Stevie Wonder over your nu metal crap any day of the week. |

Oomph! Filthy Playground - Song - MP3 Stream on IMEEM Music OOMPH! Decubitus Vulgaris - Song - MP3 Stream on IMEEM Music There's a bunch of other songs I' give you but theey aren't uploaded. Also, don't just listen to the first 20 seconds, songs like these progress drastically. Also, industrial metal is 'false industrial'. Also, only laymen use the genre 'industrial metal' to describe Oomph. They are NHD, Electronica, EBM, Hard Rock, Heavy Metal, and a bunch of other things that we haven't invented names for. Quote:

I'd say in terms of familiarity, it's you who isn't too familiar with "top tier industrial pioneers" since most of them didn't use synthesizers, and those who did used it mainly to generate drones and noise. Drones are the opposite of complexity and neither drones nor noise require a whole lot of skill. Early industrial had absolutely nothing to do with skill or technical ability, or, straight out of the horse's mouth: "And he printed this page, learn 3 chords, form a band. Then, in the next issue, he interviewed me and I said, why learn 3 chords? Why learn any chords?" -Genesis P-Orridge So then... you agree that they are pseudo-Industrial? |
