I've finally figured out the 3 bands that completely killed rock/sub genres

The Cure - Responsible for the emo silliness

Slayer/Cannibal Corpse - Now I like a few metal bands like Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax, Pantera, Judas Priest and Motorhead but those are worlds apart from every other band classified as metal. These 2 came along with the horrible screamo growl and have created a disturbing genre of music.

The Cure is not now and has never been emo. They are a respected band with talent and have influenced bands in various subgenres.

You don't like their music (and thank your for that)....so?:roll:

And for the record...emo is a subgenre that started in the mid 80's around DC. Check it out sometime.....it's nothing like The Cure.

all the bands you have mentioned suck real bad....except for pantera.

the cure is a joke, cannibal corpse is not music, metallica=sell outs, megadeat blows, judas priest is ***....literally.

lilburtonboy748

Your opinion is NOT fact. And in the reality.....the talent level is not on a par with your biased opinion.:|

And Pantera is not exactly one of the better bands in existence dude.

[QUOTE="tofu-lion91"]I love The Cure :| I never associated it with being emo...TanKLoveR

REALLY? I always thought they were a bit emo-ish.

Then you don't understand the music genre of emo.:)

Naw you're just saying dat 'cause you don't wannabe called emo. The Cure is as emo as it gets. Emo lyrics, tunes and image.

Since when are you an expert on Rock Music? Your Honor, the Prosecutor has failed to provide expert testimony!

The Cure are far from emo

emo has taken all honest anxietys and self destructive lyrics from amazing songwriters like Morrissey and turned it into a vile manufactured image

with no substance

The Cure have an honesty and a warmth in comparison to those whiney american bands

First of all, The Cure isn't emo, not even close. Also, there's no such thing as a screamo growl, otherwise it wouldn't really be screamo.

My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy would be the most obvious ones that springs to mind

The Cure and emo aren't even remotely related. Slayer was a pioneering thrash metal band, and people who think Cannibal Corpse is shocking music haven't lisened to much music.

LJS9502_basic

Isn't that contradictory? I mean I don't give a damn about Pantera but I'm sure that for many people, Pantera's just the best thing there is.

On a side note, I can't wait to go see the Cure in 11 days! Love them!

Nahhh ..

And for the record , Slayer are one of the big four of Thrash Metal bands.

Bands that comepletely destroy rock music are the ones that call themselves rock these days...Maroon 5 is classfied as rock for goodness sakes. Also turn on MTV and youll see what is wrong with music today and I am not talking about metal. Im talking about all the bands that have actually devolved and went back to a retro sound.rzepak

Trends are cyclical. Things that were once fashionable years ago come back into style eventually.

Not really my fault. Look at Robert smiths hair its just so weird. And they had a couple of songs that seemed abit eeeeh, other than that not much "emoness" I only like maybe 2 songs so besides the fact that they play something that sounds a bit like rock i dont really know them very well.

[QUOTE="lilburtonboy748"]i haven't liked a band that has come out in the last 15 years so lilburtonboy748

Wow, how many of them have you checked out?

a lot....

all i can do is wait for the next tool or pearl jam cd....besides that i've been listening to the same cds for years.

it's not complex or creative....it's fast

it's crazy how simple this is, like jesus, you could play that with your eyes close, right?

LOL agreed, his hair is a level 70 paladin, it'd own your ass.

i consider music something that requires talent....not a bunch of tards randomly playing instuments and some guy barking into a mic....they suck.

lilburtonboy748

Then you consider incorrectly. Music is nothing more than purposefully organized sound. There's no requirement that a musician be talented or skilled to create music. And there's no requirement that you personally like that sound for it to be music.

One could place bets on just how many times they would repeat exactly the same short motive. I think you're over-estimating the skill required to do what you see in this link. Yes, it's beyond the capabilities of most people who play electric guitar, but frankly, most people who play electric guitar NEVER get any sort of decent instruction on the instrument, don't practice consistently, and don't know how to practice properly even when they do. So as a result, people look at clips like this and think the playing is exceptional.

It really isn't as difficult as it looks. And frankly, having worked with music and having taught it for years, I can assure you that musical sensitivity is much more difficult to develop than technique. A musician who can play with true sensitivity is worth much, much more than a musician who can play fast, and though it certainly doesn't look like it, playing sensitively demands much finer technical control than playing rapidly... especially when you're playing mostly repetitive motives in closed positions like in your clip.

Umm, Slayer helped invent thrash metal.kruesader

Really? Well, I thought Metal was about disturbance, and rebellion, like all good musc, Man, just...Man...

And as I stated earlier...you don't understand the emo genre.;)

And yet your opinion doesn't define musical genres.....

And the hair is cool.;)

Not really....I was talking skill wise. And six days and counting.

i agree with this guy, although udoubtedly that CC riff is fast and obviously difficult to play, to play with groove and within a wider range in dynamics for example is takes more technical skill than playing a fast, repeating riff.

im not saying however CC players are unskilled.

i'm not over estimating anything. he said it is just playing a bunch of random notes, and basically beating their guitar, and i'm proving to him that no it is not.

*goes to listen to Cannibal Corpse*
