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

[The Somberlain]

That video is so ironic and aggravating

1. machismo is more of an issue with rap fans from my experience
2. If I could do the shit that Animals as Leaders do, even if it was "untalented," I would be ecstatic
3. I wear argyle sweaters, corduroys, glasses, and have short hair more often than not.
4. Let us compare the lyrics of a big rap group and a big metal group

Wu Tang Clan: Wu Tang Clan Aint Nuthin' to Fuck With:


[Intro: RZA]

Tiger style
Yo, huh, huh
Wu-Tang Clan Ain't Nuttin Ta Fuck Wit
Wu-Tang Clan Ain't Nuttin Ta Fuck Wit
Wu-Tang Clan Ain't Nuttin Ta Fuck Wit
There's noplace to hide once I step inside the room
Dr. Doom, prepare for the boom
BAM! Aw, MAN! I SLAM
JAM, now scream like Tarzan

[Verse One: RZA]

I be tossin, enforcin, my style is awesome
I'm causin more Family Feud's than Richard Dawson
And the survey said -- ya dead
Fatal Flying Guillotine chops off your fuckin head
MZA who was that? Aiyyo, the Wu is back
Makin niggaz go BO BO!, like on Super Cat
Me fear no-one, oh no, here come
The Wu-Tang shogun, killer to the eardrum!

[Verse Two: Inspectah Deck]

I puts the needle to the groove, I gets rude
And I'm forced to fuck it up
My style carries like a pickup truck
Across the clear blue yonder
Seek the China Sea, I slam tracks like quarterbacks sacks from L.T.
Now why try and test, the Rebel INS?
Blessed since the birth, I earth-slam your best
Cause I bake the cake, then take the cake
and eat it, too, with my crew while we head state to state!

[Chorus: RZA]

And if you want beef, then bring the ruckus
Wu-Tang Clan ain't nuttin ta fuck with
Straight from the motherfucking slums that's busted
Wu-Tang Clan ain't nuttin ta fuck with

[Interlude: RZA]

Hyah!
Step up, boy!
Represent!
Chop his head off, kid!

[Verse Three: Method Man]

The Meth will come out tomorrow,
Styles, is wild, berserk, bizarro
Flow, with more afro than Rollo
Comin to a fork in the road which way to go just follow
Method, the Legend, niggaz is Sleepy Hollow
In fact I'm a hard act to follow
I dealt for dolo, Bogart comin on through
Niggaz is like "Oh, my God, not you!"
Yes, I, come to get a slice of the punk and the pie
Rather do than die, check my
flava, comin from the RZA
which is short for the razor
Who make me reminisce true like Deja, Vu!
I'm rubber, niggaz is like glue
Whatever you say rubs off me sticks to you

[Chorus]

[RZA]
Ahh-hah! Yeah
Representin Brooklyn Queens
Long Island, Manhattan Bronx
The Rugged Lands of Shaolin
Niggaz from Virginia, Atlanta

Yo, niggaz from The Source

The whole Texas mob, the Chicago mob
Niggaz from Detroit, fuckin California squadron
comin through knahmsayin? The whole fuckin West coast

Down in Maryland, all the way over there in Morgan State
Wu-Tang Clan ain't nuttin ta fuck wit
all over the whole fuckin globe, comin through boy
Peace to the fuckin Zulu Nation
Peace to all the Gods and the Earths, word is bond
Wu-Tang slang, choppin heads boy
It ain't safe no more!
Peace..

Iron Maiden: The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner (This is based on an existentialist short story btw, not the best example of great lyrics, but proving my point)

The tough of the track
With the wind
And the rain that's beating down on
Your back
Your heart's beating loud
And goes on getting louder
And goes on even more 'til the
Sound is ringing in your head
With every step you tread
And every breath you take
Determination
Makes you run never stop
Got to win got to run 'til you drop
Keep the pace hold the race
Your mind is getting clearer
You're over half way there
But the miles they never seem to end
As if you're in a dream
Not getting anywhere
It seems so futile

[Chorus]
Run on and on
Run on and on
The loneliness of the long distance runner

I've got to keep running the course
I've got to keep running and win at
All costs
I've got to keep going be strong
Must be so determined and push myself on

Run over stiles across fields
Turn to look at who's on your heels
Way ahead of the field
The line is getting nearer but do
You want the glory that goes
You reach the final stretch
Ideals are just a trace
You feel like throwing the race
It's all so futile

[Chorus:]

5. I listen to other types of music, including the rap you so love. In fact, I don't think you can boast a library ranging from Philip Glass to Dominico Scarlatti to the Stanley Brothers to Nick Drake to New Order to Autechre to The Roots to Miles Davis to Animals as Leaders to Animal Collective to Cocteau Twins to Beherit

6. I have never set foot in Hot Topic

7. I abhor violence and in fact one of my heroes is the great satirist, essayist, and PACIFIST, Aldous Huxley.

8. In regards to that. I am an intellectual, you probably don't read shit. Do you buy David Hume, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Aldous Huxley, and Franz Kafka with your own good money? NO!

9. Do you play any instruments? I play four and counting.

10. Oh, and I grew up Catholic and attend, not burn churches

The Somberlain pwning ingorant cunts. Sorry for the rant

 

[teqnick]

While listening to Totla Mad:

"What's all that screaming bullshit? It's garbage, why do they have to yell?"

I put on all new materials ...

"Wow, this guy needs to hit puberty, i could sing like that when i was 11"


wow..

I guess he just can't be pleased.

I stopped that video at "Metal has no songs about real problems"

Haha indeed, those top 40 hits really speak to the human in me about deep issues, "what ..... bitch am I gonna fuck tonight?"

 

[The Somberlain]

Yep, see my above lyrical argument

 

[chucknorrishred]

this is extremely ignorant and funny, because i cannot take this seriously :-D

 

[Metalman X]

DJM = Daddy's Junky Music...I abbreviated because I figured you might be familiar with one of the Connecticut stores, at least. Definitely stop into the Boston store if you're in town and look for me!

Oh yeah....there used to be one in Vernon CT. just a few minutes from my old house. Didn't make the connection

I'll definitely stop in than. Hoping to get in a prevailing wage job up in Newton, and i think there may be a project in Reading at some point.

 

[tacotiklah]

Yep, metal is stupid for talking about things like preventing nuclear travisties, promoting individual liberties, and exploring concepts such as other worlds and dimensions.

We all know that its all about rap and pop and how they talk about your next failed attempt at donating to that sperm recepticle they call a whore.

I find it funny how ppl say metal is so violent, yet emo is filled with whiney kids who cut and try to off themselves.

The REALLY funny part about that is if you ask an emo kid why they wanna do that to themselves, they respond with things like, "My parents got divorced and dont love me." or "My boyfriend/girlfriend broke up with me and I cant live without them!"
But if you take a look at some of the crap some metalheads have been through (if you can even get them to talk about it) like
"I spent 10 years of my childhood in and out of foster homes because my dad is crazy and has repeatedly tried to murder me." or something to that effect.

Metalheads tend to have experienced INFINITELY worse things in their life, yet are far less unstable and sure as hell dont whine or bitch about their issues and try to hurt themselves over it.

 

[Gitte]

me: so how did you like the show?
friend: your music is tougher than you are

 

[Banana Wedgie]

this is extremely ignorant and funny, because i cannot take this seriously :-D

Wow. That video is.... encouraging. To show the stupidity and ignorance of them.

"Metal is too loud". No. Its called actually having music behind it. So you turn it up, so you get more bass, which makes it more enjoyable to "bang you heads on tables". And as fun as that sounds - no.

They mention us having no talent. Cough cough, listen to its background music, I see lots of talent there, cough cough.

Vocals, wow are they gonna say that when what their listenting to just quickly spoken, mouth farts of vocals...

Then the lyrics - I hear metal songs with awful lyrics - often. About death and violence - and so on. But, the sheer majority I hear is about war.
Now tell me, why are they justifying "writing" about being perverted and taking so much of their imported favourite drug of some sort, that they try and make these absurd lyrics.

The cause of their music - people who are feared by people, because they think they might knife them. In metal, your just feared of being a bit odd.

Also to the above - only once have I met a fan of rap wanting to rap. Every, bar one, fan of metal I know, has taken up an instrument. The one I counted out gave up.

Clothing - I wear jeans, - baggy I may add - I wear T shirts mostly - not badass like his made in korea hoody with random, illegible words scribbled about them - and I have long hair. But I like long hair, and does that mean that I shouldn't have long hair because I am male.

Now I could rant about how men going bald, and soldiers hair being cut short to help fight - over the many years has put long hair out of fashion in being male (because they don't want to loose it). It comes back and your either a hippie, an emo or a freak.

Threats - I've never made a threat over the internet.

Rejecting mainstream - I shower. I have a minor hygenic dissorder, for that matter - I am so much more metal with my odor free arm pits, white teeth and soft hands And then the freaks that say this go around having farting contests, being begged to have showers and when realise it - pay their money to whiten their teeth.

But - to the thread - I was told Lady Gaga was a better musician than any of musician I can name...

 

[Antimatter]

The video didn't make me mad, I just didn't watch it because it was a waste of time and all I was going to get was a close-minded opinion. I really think people shouldn't take these kinds of things seriously, it's not like they're going to listen to you anyway.

Truth...but I actually sat through it (muted the sound though after like 10 seconds...i tried to stomach it, I really did....) out of morbid curiosity.

All I could think of was that famous quote: "Sometimes it's best to remain silent than to speak up and reveal thyself to be a fool"

I dunno, man. These lyrics are awesome.

There are times in my deepest introspection- my darkest times perhaps- where I have the same feelings as expressed in this song. Sometimes I, too, ain't nuthin' to fuck with. It's like the RZA says what my heart is afraid to express.

 

[Joeywilson]

best part of the video= Worship Satan! Worship the Devil! Rock on! Have sex with Satan!

 

[SnowfaLL]

Kid: Whoa, a five string bass?! That's unreal.
Me: Yeah, I hope to get a six-string some day.
Kid: Uh, that's a guitar...
Me: Now I see why you have drum sticks.

Nowdays, this dude thinks he's the most intelligent human being and has tried to rip on me many times. He needs to get off his high horse. He's one of those dudes you just want to punch in the fucking mouth.

A few months back I recorded some tracks with a band I was in. They used eight strings. I originally wanted to tune up (like Dick Lovgren), but they deicded a six-string set up for F# was cooler.

After recording we weren't doing much. Months go by and I just happened to go on our myspace to listen to some tracks and it said they had a new bassist and I was in the past/honorary members. They told me we broke up. They told me I wasn't showing interest, wouldn't talk to them about jams, and that my playing was sloppy. Have you ever heard low F# on bass (recorded through Pod UX-1)?

That's how I found out I was kicked out/replaced. They changed the myspace line-up...

Happened in Halifax? Thats lame man. I'd love to know which band it is so I dont work with them in the future lol maybe add me on msn or something sometime, we can jam if I move back there (which im trying to do, Moncton blows)

 

[chucknorrishred]

yae, dudes a fucn internet troll, leave him be

 

[thefpb2]

these are some gems i have heard from real human beings

-double bass pedals ruin rhythm
-analog "cooks" sound, making it better
-8 strings have "too many strings"
-analog improves ones groove
-7 and 8 string guitars are not rising but are on the "back burner"

 

[chucknorrishred]

well....

i was like "dam, cant wait till I get a 7"
they were like "just down tune"

fuck that, i know a good amount of theory, u dont so....

 

[AlucardXIX]

I cant even count the number of things I could add to this thread. My favorite are the people who just generally think any kind of music that is different from what they listen to, or what is on the radio, is complete garbage...Namely heavy stuff.

 

[guitareben]

Guy at my school once said "My life is music" , yet then he says (another time) "Instrumentals are shit", and he doesn't even play an instrument. And he can't sing either, and understands nothing about music.
