What's the most ignorant thing anyone has ever said to you about music?

[Andrewsonfire]

Me - "Yeah. So dio died today? Fucked up man.."
My Friend - "Yeah i know, its a sad day for metal..."
His Friend - "So your sad about a guy you dont know dying? What ever..Who is he?"

That's not ignorant, that's just not right.

The first time I linked this in the SS.org chat, someone replied "how the fuck is this even music?"

/thread.

 

[sevenstringgod]

IMO you win the thread.

I know!

I have another epic ignorant moment for you guys, a friend of mine that actually went to the before mentioned EMO party, told one of the before mentioned potheads, that I played a seven string guitar, and he said, "Dude, those are obsolete, no one uses them now." And proceeded to smoke some more.

Ignorance FTMFW.

Guy at Guitar Center: Why are the mids so high on that amp
Me: Well, a guitar is a midrange instrument...so..
Guy at GC: Dude just scoop the mids it will sound PERFECT.

xD

also anybody who doesn't listen to metal because of "the screaming" xD

I've gotten that. The person said: "I don't like Metal because of the screaming and freak people".

Well, not listening to metal because of the screaming (given that the brand of metal in question does include screaming) is a pretty valid opinion to me. I mean, I don't listen to Attack Attack because of the vocals, and plenty of people don't listen to bands like Nevermore or Dream Theater because they DON'T scream. It's all up to the listener really. As long as you don't diss a band that you never bothered listening to in the first place, it's cool with me.

The part about scooping the mids though is hilarious That's not a matter of opinion, that's just a lack of practical experience with sound.

True, but this person meant anything metal has screaming in it. I should have mentioned that, but I had woken up not too long before I posted that, so my brain wasn't on 100%.

And you're right about the scooping mids thing. I don't think I've had anyone tell me to scoop my mids.

My cousin feels like it's necessary to scoop his mids out, so when we jam with our other cousin on drums, he feels the need to crank his amp up higher. One of these days when he does that, I'm going to go over to it and re-EQ it for him, so he can cut through. That fucker needs to listen to my advice more often when it comes to EQing.

My friend, who I think I have mentioned to you before, said to me the other day, as I was tweaking my amp after he butchered the settings

"Yeah but we like different tones"

Bear in mind he's never learned or bothered to really listen to his tone, his settings are as follows (Not oclock):

Gain: 10, Treble 10, Mids 4, Bass 8, all other accompanying pedals have gain and tone at 10. I really doubt any thought has been put into this fuzzy, almost inaudible "tone" of his

Oh yes, I remember that.

You should have just asked the guy if he's ever played live. If he's in a band, I feel sorry for the people in the crowd and the sound guy.

a famous singer in the screamo scene once said this to me when he was starting off: "slipknot, slayer, metallica, meshuggah, none of them can play, screamo is REAL talent"

i swear if i had 3 wishes, one of them would be to go back then... how the world would be different

[Lord_Elixer]

"I hate guitars with the hole in them. How can anyone play with plastic strings!?"

and...

"How can Slipknot be considered a band? They are manufactured, meaning they don't play their own instruments"
