An Infinite Number Of Things That Pisses Me Off About Music

jackhammer · 10-09-2008, 03:34 PM

I hear a whole internet chat room full of Dream Theatre fans foaming at the mouth even now.

Urban Hat€monger ? · 10-09-2008, 03:47 PM

I never mentioned any bands

jackhammer · 10-09-2008, 03:50 PM

I just took a casual stab in the dark....

I bet this is the bit where people just assume the obvious and bitch about me including something without actually reading my reasons for including it.

It's a growing theme in this thread.

No I agree entirely. As you know, I like my prog but only if it does'nt descend into wankathons. Same goes for heavy schizz and the absurd soloing that ruins many good songs. Maybe if I played guitar I would appreciate it more...but I doubt it.

you just shattered many dreams... including mine

Here it comes

Fuck that

Yes I can

The whole point of releasing music is to get people to listen to it. You notice there I said 'release' as opposed to 'make'. If every song you release is just a vehicle to show off your instrument noodling then do I fuck need to give you any credit for that. Doing that in my eyes makes you well practised , not talented.

Talent requires putting that aural masturbation you have endlessly practised into a piece of art where it can be appreciated. What's the point in having impressive solos if everything else surrounding it is a total crock of shit full of cliche after cliche?
If your writing songs with generic song titles and lyrics with absolutely nothing of interest to say about anything , and then putting 10 minutes of guitar wanking in the middle of it it's probably fair to say that maybe you should put the guitar down and try practising something else. Going out & getting some life experience would be a help rather than shutting yourself away endlessly practising your technique would be a start.

If you want to make shit like this keep it in your bedroom and don't expect me to be impressed.

this should have been #1, and i don't even know what #1 is yet

12 : Rubbish Compilation Albums That Seem To Clog Up Every Chain Store So they Don't Have to Bother Stocking Proper Albums

Sorry , forgive me here but what would someone who bases their taste in music on a fucking TV advert for yoghurt know about having a life?

Same goes for this

So what criteria makes an album good for fucking BBQ's?
At what point does someone come up with a list of songs and think 'Right , well I have Gorillaz , Crazy Frog and Show me the way to fucking Amarillo. All I need is a theme to connect them'

And somehow we end up with BBQs ????? HUH !!???!!!????
I thought badly cooked food & beer made a BBQ anyway.

And as for these

I'm not even going to go there.

And have you ever wondered what the best Prog Rock album in the world is?

Pink Floyd?
Genesis?
Yes?
King Crimson?

Nope apparently it's this...
