The State of Metal In 10 Years? 20 Years? (genre, quote, Guitars)

Well I can say good music is subjective like I had a million times before, but you don't get it, not only is music quality entirely subjective, but judging instrumentalists based on what of you think of their own music dosen't really have anything to do with music at all, just you're own agenda.

I can say Ritchie Blackmore is a bad guitarist because I dislike every band he's ever been in (save Blackmores Night) but I would get my ass kicked, because even I know it's not true. Guitar playing in itself is quite a serious artform much like songwriting is, only songwriting is easier. Trying to link the two together the way you do is pretty narrowminded, for example, with your logic, you probably think Jimmy Page isn't a good guitarist and Isaac Brock is, in which case I would have to strangle you with my bare hands in order to prevent your incredible closed mindedness on the subject of guitar playing from infecting other young impressionable morons who only listen to albums based on the "good word" of Pitchfork.

Did Isaac Brock molest you as a child or something? I cannot understand this fixation you have with Modest Mouse.

**boo boo** · 10-09-2006, 03:03 PM

They did something horrible to me, they made some albums, I listened to them.

I take it very personally because it was among the worst experiences in my life.

How very melodramatic.

I was sexualy molested at a young age (not expecting you to believe that but....) and not even that was as painful of a experience as listening to Wild Pack Of Family Dogs.

J Mascis>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Yngwie.

Hahaha.

In songwriting yes, but your indie hipster bullsh*t and overuse of ">" and "<" related posts won't fool anyone... Songwriting means nothing if you intend on writing those songs with a guitar, J is a better songwriting, Yngwie is a better guitarist, once you can find the distinction between the two there will be no further need for what will likely be a 20 page argument.

Overall it depends on what you write, if it's simple song structure then learning it on guitar is easy, but if it's a little complicated (meaning you're a bad songwriter, of course) then you're gonna at least know how to play the damn guitar/bass/drums/hurdy gurdy or whatever the hell you play.

Owning a Dinosaur Jr album makes people indie & hip now?

Maybe 20 odd years ago it did

No, but Indie fans that post on music forums tend to makes posts like "this artist >>>>> that artist" every couple of minutes on every thread they find.
