I'm sorry, but if Julia dosen't touch you in any way, but Godsmack does, well damn, I don't even know what to say.

Being too lazy to read subtitles isn't a 'value'. Either the film is in the language you speak or it isn't.

So you're saying lameness is proportional to how quiet the bass is, relative to the other tracks, and you're using that as a criterion for judging a band. Surely you can see something wrong with that?

Maybe you have to strain hear the bass in Beatles songs if jungle electronica is all you listen to all day. But provided that your hearing/multi-tasking abilities exceed a tiny human threshold, I'm sure you can pick out the basslines in Beatles songs without losing yourself and getting confused as to what's going on. McCartney's bassplaying isn't exactly recorded at an inaudible level.

Um, it is volume you're talking about. You're talking about the volume of the bass track relative to the other tracks in their music.

What in the f*ck are you talking about?

Your speakers must really suck, maybe you have to strain yourself to hear the bass in their earlier stuff. But certainly not for Revolver, Sgt Peppers, Magical Mystery Tour, The White Album or Abbey Road. Some of the best bass work you will find there.

An example of what Oomph! considers articulate and good lyrics for your amusement:

Quote:

i'll turn your head in a ****ing hole
i'll rip your mind out i'll burn your soul
I am the anguish inside your brain
i'll fill you up with eternal pain

-----

peel me
stab like a fencer
until I can feel you again
heal me
spread like a cancer
until I can feel all this pain
burn like a fire
release me
and then let me drown again
burn like a fire
to freeze me
and then let me drown again

-----

Midnight - All the kids are asleep
Moonlight - Makes them breathe in so deep
Inside - Hunger cuts like a knife
Upside - I can smell the real life

I'm climbing their beds - I lift up their heads
I open my mouth - Oh! I love all the brats

'Cause I'm the breathtaker
I am the death fake - Ha!
I am the fear of your family
I am the boneshaker
I am the breathtaker
And I'm gonna make you blue...

Why would he want to?

See here's the thing Oomph!, judging something based on your own criteria can't be objective.

I'd hate to see Paul McCartney degrade himself to playing such awful music. Those songs were truly some of the worst music I've ever heard. If the Beatles are lame compared to that garbage then I hope all the music I ever hear from now on is lame.

Not even on a technical level was any of that good bass playing.
