Not really, I am with you. Rap is poetry said to a canned beat...and is therefore not real music. And metal is just noise, it's a bunch of hard core wanna-bes pounding as fast as they can on the drums, shredding the heck out of their guitar and screaming to make as much noise as possible...once again, not music as most of it does not have a clear melody...just noise.
(Disclaimer) This is obviously a generalized statement
BTW, This is real music!!!
WTF??? That's fucked up...
XD
Metallica and Megadeth and A7X are the metal bands I like. And their songs do have clear melodies.
Screaming is NOT music as it has no melody and is just noise, it is in the same class as hip-hop, only I have less respect for it than I do hip hop artists who don't need to scream to get their lyrics heard. However, some metaica songs are actually enjoyable, as are one or two Megadeath songs. Hey, at least they aren't Dr. Gore material
Can you actually name some Metallica or Megadeth songs that have screaming in more than a part or two? I really don't know any... I know A7X has some screamo songs, but it's still very enjoyable. Not everyone can scream and make it sound good.
Ah, nice, eliminate the "part or two" because every single Megadeath song I have ever heard has screaming in it. and quite a few Metalica songs do. I'm sorry, but even a little screaming can ruin a good song.
Come on, you're telling me "Ride the Lightning" isn't an enjoyable song because Hammett screams in a part?
And here's an example to counter your metal = no melody thought:
Funny, because I never said ALL metal has no melody, but you must have missed the point where I said I liked some Metallica....Oh, and you must have missed the point where I said "even a little screaming CAN ruin a GOOD song" Those two facts kinda screw up your argument...
Ironic that you try to accuse me of having terrible reading comprehension when you yourself don't understand my comment. I obviously read your comment that stated that "even a little screaming CAN ruin a GOOD song", that's why I asked you if "Ride the Lightning" was ruined by the little screaming that's present in it.
No, you were citing just one example to debunk my argument...which was more general, something that I stated early on, and which I concreted with further statements. So, while I didn't accuse you of having horrible reading comprehension, you are making it look like that is the case.
And I shared "A Little Piece of Heaven" because you seem to think that all metal music is a combination of screaming and mindless noise.
You once again miss the two points where I said I like some metal (although I named specific bands)..so point nullified.
About my argument getting screwed, what exactly is my argument and which two facts screw it up?
Your argument is based on a false premise of what my argument is, therefore, your argument is faulty.
