Nik said:Yes, it's true that I'm not a Korn fan, but I did agree with you to some extent and I just pointed that out. Your post is justified man, we all have our opinions
My only gripe with your post is the sentence "Why the fuck would they have gotten as far as they have if they'd never written a good tune?"
The Black Eyed Peas have gotten pretty far. Have they ever written a good tune? Hell no. What I'm trying to say dude is yeah, you're right, we're all entitled to our opinions, but popularity does not equal talent.
Naren said:You don't think The Black Eyed Peas have talent? I hate their music and I don't listen to it, but I think they have quite a bit of talent. They succeeded in making one of the songs that has annoyed me more than any other song in 2005 ("My Lumps", I think it was called), but I have to say they have talent. Just not my taste. Korn also has a lot of talent and I do like a lot of their stuff and dislike a lot of their stuff. They definitely can write "good riffs" (although "good" is in the eye of the beholder).
What you gon' do with all that junk?
All that junk inside that trunk?
I'ma get, get, get, get, you drunk,
Get you love drunk off my hump.
What u gon' do with all that ass?
All that ass inside them jeans?

Korbain said:I find playing a 4/4 riff no harder than playing a 3/4, 7/8 etc.
Korbain said:Anyways, Korn are popular, that is because they have talent, even if some don't like to admit it.

Naren said:Nik, I read your post. I agree that "My Lumps" is an incredibly annoying song with inane lyrics. I made fun of that song for a long time the first time I heard it. BUT I stick by my original statements. I think The Black Eyed Peas have talent. Maybe not the talent you or I think is impressive, but I think they definitely have talent. I think the Backstreet Boys have talent. You might say "Hey! They don't even write their own songs!" and I never said what kind of talent they had. They have talents for singing and for dancing. It's not the type of stuff I want to listen to or want to watch, but I have to say they have talent.
I don't listen to rap practically at all, but I can't say "They have no talent." That would just be writing off styles of music I don't like as not having talent simply because I don't like them.
In the same way, Korn has talent. Just because they aren't shredding or playing in 7/8 doesn't mean they lack talent. The lead guitarist for my band is a very skilled shredder. He does finger tapped sweeped arpeggios at 250 bpm. But all of our songs are in 4/4. In fact, I can't stand Meshuggah.Does that mean that we have no talent? Or what about some classical composers that wrote 80-90% of their songs in 4/4? No talent?
Korbain said:Without having talent, would they be where they are now, promoting 8 strings for ibanez?
Korbain said:In a way your right, but if they didn't have talent they wouldn't be popular.
