No im not I just forgot to specify that. The last album I bought of theirs was Reload.

Metallica is a newer metal band?

all joking aside.. yeah, music is ALL taste. I actually enjoy some dragonforce.. I go from liking Attila to the biebs to lil wayne to black tideletlive4

And that is what I was pretty much sayin to my freind but he jsut kept on saying my opinion was "flawed" and that my taste was "broken" and that I will miss out on epic things, whatever he ment by that.

a music argument is ultimately an argument over personal opinions. Sounds like your friend needs to understand this.

Pretty much yeah.

Hes a good person and hes cool, but when it comes to these debates he gets all up in arms. He was saying I was contradicting myself when I said Dragonforce wasn't dynamic enough although I listen to bands that don't have that dynamic of music. And again I said it depends on what Im listening to and what the end product sounds like. but yeah he was being a douche, and a close minded one at that. For him metal is all about speed and sounding cool (which is perfectly fine) but I like my metal more complex and deeper.

All I can say is that taste and even talent is purely objective, even though some bands and artists actually are talented, such as Bowie. It's totally okay to acknowledge that and still dislike a band, as I do with most Beatles songs. If you don't like music, it just isn't suited to your taste. Almost like attraction.

Precisely, and thats what I was saying. I said that it was boring to me and it wasn't dynamic enough for me. And my freind said good music doesnt have to have a ton of dynamics in order to sound good, which is valid but for specific songs or even styles of music, but when dynamics arent applied correctly or it has a lack of dynamics to make it sound good that is where it matters. that and the fact that the lyris for the mojority of Dragonforces songs are boring to me, mostly all the same, typical power/epic metal about dragons and fighting evil.

I like my metal Deeper and more poetic than the typical "the POWER IS BLINDING WIH POWER!!!" or however that lyric goes hahaha.

with one of my friends the other day. He linked me to a video of one of Dragonforce's new single/work in progress. I wasnt very impressed and it sounded boring to me which is MY OPINION of how it sounded. I did compliment the playing and that it was cleaner and the solo was good, however I jsut wasnt feeling it. And now mind you I have not been a dragonforce fan for many years since i have seen a live performance video and was dreadfully underwhelmed, so my dislike for them has been rooted back a few years. So with that being said I listened I evaluated and yeah they can play now, but its still boring to me and that it wasnt dynamic enough for me.

My freind said how can I not like them they are heavily influenced by Iron Maiden and Rhapsody of fire. I said I did not care for them either, and that I wasnt a fan of the overall sound. Now mind you I never said they were bad jsut that I didnt care for them. My friend said my taste in metal was broken becasue "How can you like the new without liking the old". I mean really? How hard is it to understand that its jsut not my cup of tea, that I prefer newer metal bands like Kamelot, or Galneryus, or metallica rather than older power metal bands. I love power metal but only certain bands.

Has anyone have any input. 2 cents, or has anyone experienced this before?

discuss.

[QUOTE="LOXO7"]Good for MS. They should take the lead even more. The only way forward is to control it moving forward with rules and contracts. It's good for the company and especially good for the gamers. Sony and Nintendo should take a seat and jot down some notes. Be ready to be schooled Sony. This is how the big boys get the job done.edo-tensei

I love how you say this and yet PS3 was 600 at launch, oooh the irony.

I like how people are like yeah you tell em SONY, when Sony would do the same **** Hey Sony arent your consoles made by Foxconn were people have been jumping off of buildings? yup i think so.
