"Look, that guitarist is playing a long note, and look he's bending the strings and everyone loves the sound of vibrato. It's so emotional" You see, with enough technical skill and practice, any kid can learn to play David Gilmours solos, and if theres anyone whos guitar playing "sounds" emotional, it's David Gilmour. But it has a lot more to do with talent, knowing the right techniques, the right notes to play than it does investing ones emotion into a song or how much "feeling" he/she puts into it. Some hipster kid can say "Look, its not about talent, its about emotion, all I need is emotion". Well he can fiddle with that wammy bar as much as he likes, if he dosen't know how to play or construct a solid melody, then I don't care if he does it with a big stupid smile on his face and what he calls "feeling", the music can't move me if I think it sounds like crap. But then again, its that very kind of attitude that so many critics and the kids in todays music scene eat up nowadays. Encouraging aspiring musicians to not really take the time to learn their instrument, and instead telling them that all they need is emotion and "feeling". To me this is very damaging to the future of music. Because we have so many bands now who get by on the idea that their music will mean something to people just as long as they play with "feeling". Hence the whole Emo trend right now. Note how I never say "feeling" without putting quotes around it, thats because I think its a bullsh*t term.

Of course you don't like notes, thats why you prefer your music without them.
Death Metal diss.
