Dear Xev--though I do admire your swagger, you still don't make much sense. Sure, an important part of art is interpretation, but half of your afore stated examples are just that--an interpretation. I honestly doubt Avril Lavigknee thought about a womans role in society when she produced her multi-platinum hit album 'Let Go'.
wow, isn't it amazing how a thread about who your favorite band is can move to who you think the greatest band ever is/was to the politics of a band and its music?
Unreg: Attempt at condescention duly scorned. So? As my early English lit teacher put it, you can interpret Beowulf as a diatribe against bad sword makers, you simply have to be able to support your interpretation. I doubt she thinks about anything, so what is your point? Do you think the transcriber of Beowulf had to be thinking "oh, I am going to transcribe this poem that has Absurdist ramifications" in order for those ramifications to BE there? No. If a mother tells her daughter not to play so roughly, do you think she is consciously thinking about a woman's role in society? Unlikely. Still, that message is there. Andy: Thank you!
Well overall, I think u-reg has made his point, sound and rational, even if he doesn't see that all music is political. The music is the most important aspect, because it is a band after all. The Beatles main concern was their music, anything was secondary. I can listen to an Opera in Latin and not even know what it is about, but still enjoy the music. End of discussion.
linkin park is sorely 5 years behind on that rap-rock thing. there is no such thing as "rap-metal." people need to understand that linkin park is NOT metal at all. i cant stand asking someone what kind of music theyre into having them respond "metal" and then elaborating on their interests in bands only to have them state linkin park as one of their main. linkin park is a load of bullshit which is just an imitation of imitation which is LONG overdue for death. someone needs to put a couple bullets into the head of that rap-rock crossover shit because it's still moving, unfortuneately. Now that I think about it, numetal is still kicking, too. someone should just put the two ideas into a barrel and unload. I'm personally sick of it. I feel like puking. Everyone has their own taste in music, but this crap is so unbelievably shitty and yet they sell more albums than really great bands could ever aspire to. What the FUCK? I could sit here and continue to ponder the reasons why things are so fucked up, but then I just realize that people are shallow. Fuck rap-rock. Fuck Linkin Park.
Listen i don't care if don't like linkin park or not but just don't say they are gay and all. what do do listen to... Backstreet Boys type of crap or thoses death metal crap like slipknot. they are gay.
Shows what you know. Slipknot isn't death metal. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! What is this world coming to? People who hear heavy music automatically assume it's death metal without knowing anything about the genre?
I wouldn't even call it rap-rock. The rapping was so bad I almost fell over laughing. I don't even like rap, yet I could tell how bad Linkin Park was.
Did I offend you personally in such a way that your ability to properly form sentences using words that correlate to the intended message has diminished to a stupid and unhealthy slur? I think trying to decipher that message has made me lose a few braincells in the process. Fuck your shitty taste in music, pal. I never once said "it was gay." I used to like Slipknot. I used to like Spineshank. I used to like Deftones(and I don't have anything against them, still). All of those bands have "rapping" in them and I tell you that Linkin Park is a massive load of bullshit. It's so bland!! How can anyone think this crap is good?! I mean...maybe some of the lyrics can be poetic or something, but ya know I'd rather read my own lyrics to myself than read through that crap! Who gives a fuck, man? No one cares. Shut your mouth and pull those corporate cocks out of your ears. You're sense of hearing is muffled!
everyone has their own thing, its ok not to like a band, but its not groovy to tell someone their band is shit - have some respect for other peoples opinions please
Opinionsschminions. That's all they are; opinions. Stating your opinion in a place where I am or may be present is subjecting yourself to my judgement and ridicule. Respect. Ha. You want my respect for your opinion? Base it on something worthy of respecting instead of submitting your thoughts to the demeaning medium of spoonfeeding. Fuck off dipshit. No one cares what you think, either.
"Respecting opinions"- sounds like another one of those baseless phrases like "sharing is good" or "diversity is important." These are little 1st grade mind control devices that are not based in objective reality, but rather the liberal idea that others should NOT be questioned and all should be equal. What a cowardly attack on the human spirit. Still, if you have problems with offending people, please consult my thread on proper art criticism: http://www.sciforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=30118
are you asking a question in the form of an observation? can we distinguish who listens to slipknot by looking at their noted musical interests or by the way they dress? is that what youre asking? christ youre a moron.
