Mixing Rock/Metal with Classical: should not be done (electronic, country)

Skid Mark · 02-27-2008, 08:12 PM

Could you give some examples of what you are on about?
Do you mean those many clone nu-metally bands with opera-style female singers who do it for nothing more than the gimmic?
Metallica + Orchestra tour kind of stuff?
Dream Theater?

yeah like others have said...it's just not your cup of tea.....that doesn't mean it shouldn't be done though.

Upon reflection, I think it's like Skid Mark said - I'm thinking of those clone bands with operatic female vocalists who are just pandering to a gimmick. Bands like Epica, etc. With that said, I've never really found a "good" one that does it well, either.

Personally, I don't think metal and recording equipment should be mixed.
