[cwergy]

Yeah his name is Eman Laerton or something close to that.

[uglycatface]

i saw this a few weeks ago at myspace.com. but i didn't think about posting here.

anyway, i fucking love that guy. he's my hero.

[quazy50]

aaaaaaahahhahahahahaha that guy rules!

[cwergy]

The Train one and Linkin Park are the best and Hoobastank is also really good.

[DreamTheater]

holy crap, i love that guy, he is my hero

[Madness]

The speaker of the truth. This guy rules.

[AngerOnToenails]

Yeah..just giving you credit for your affluent knowledge of good music. Dream theater rocks!!! So does mars volta

[ypsidan04]

Hmmm...lets see:

Staind!


Linkin Park!


Evanescence!


Okay, so you think I have bad taste! But you know what, I'm happy, and in the not-so-creative words of Scott Weiland: "I don't even give a fuck".

Haven't had a chance to see the videos, cause my quicktime is messed up, but I will later. At my own risk.

youre happy because the popish tunes of them all are acting like a drug on your brain. since it all sounds the same, youll start to need more of it to make you feel like you do now. more and more, slowly spinning into a hurricane of bad music, getting sucked farther into the vortex you now call home. eventually, your thirst will be insatiable, no amount of crappy music will ever satisfy you because no matter what it is, you have allready heard it. you will not be able to listen to good music because your brain is used to and craves cardboard cut-out catchy tunes, but all attempts to feed the hunger are fruitless, because once again, it is all the same. you may even try to satisfy your hunger by trying to write your own music, but you will realize it sounds just like what youre hearing on the radio, and what youre seeing on mtv. you will come to the realization that you let yourself slip so far into this self destructive cycle that you are unable to climb out. then you kill yourself.

[ypsidan04]

I think I know everything.

Maybe it does sound similar, for the most part. But I like that sound, obviously. If you don't, then feel free to refrain from buying their albums. And don't even use "popish", when you obviously don't know the meaning of the word. Because only people who dislike those bands would use that word to describe them. No one with a neutral ear, like a paid critic, would ever say that. Just "holier than thou" people like yourself. From those 3 bands, I have 7 CDs. And I'm proud to say that. There's nothing you can gain by telling me all that crap you just said.

you let yourself slip so far into this self destructive cycle that you are unable to climb out. then you kill yourself

You really are a smartass.

[DreamTheater]

I think I know everything

well, you got the I think part wrong..pretty good on the rest though. hmm..so its not popish you say..
"pop music" means the music that is popular in terms of radio and tv play.
what is flooding the minds and airwaves of america today? nothing but evanescence, linkin park, and every other various hybrid of those bands.
why is this music played rather than other, better, music?
because the majority comprised ALMOST (notice almost) entirely of simple wants SIMPLE MUSIC.
songs where the tunes are simple, catchy, and predictable. the lyrics are generalized and constructed so that they appeal to and apply to nearly everyone.
singing about "these wounds that will not heal" and such is simply pandering to the majority. everyone has been hurt emotionally before, and these bands take advantage of this.

the thing is, this wouldnt be a problem, BUT EVERY SINGLE BAND SOUNDS THE SAME!!!!! they are stealing the airtime and chances that other, more talented bands deserve. not only are they stealing the time, but they are stealing it with the same stuff over and over and over again.
lets play around with biology. say that you could take a dna sample from evanescence, linkin park, staind, nickelback, etc..
this dna sample would comprise of the lyrics, the notes, the meaning of the lyrics, the construction of the song..everything.
now say we did that thing where you inject the dna into the gel and you let it seperate, forming the dark bar pattern thing.
as we compare all of them, an alarming trend emerges.....THEY ARE ALL THE SAME.
they are as alike as you and i are genetically. everything is the same except for fine details like hair and eye color.
the radio and tv is flooded with pretty much the same stuff over and over and over and over and over again. you might as well buy a cd from one of the afore mentioned groups, put it in your cd player, and let it loop all day long.
if radio stations and tv had a better mix of music, more variety, i would have no problem with it at all. the reality is that this music is clogging and plaguing every media outlet on earth. the reason for this?
profit. its what the majority wants. the more people that want something, the more people there are to satisfy. the more people there are to satisfy, the more profit is to be had.
sometimes capitalism sucks.
also, to be fair, i may not like evanescence the band, but i do think she has a fairly pretty voice. alot better than this ashlee simpson shit thats flyin around.

You really are a smartass.

why thank you

[madadder]

It says something is missing from my Quicktime software so it can't play, can anyone help? I'd like to see it

[ypsidan04]

"pop music" means the music that is popular in terms of radio and tv play.

Wrong. Rap music is popular, but no idiot would call that pop music. It IS what is popular, BUT it also has to have several other qualities as well:

- Superficial lyrics
- No depressive lyrics whatsoever, or depressive lyrics with happy music
- Abnormally high male voices
- More often than not, sung by people who didn't write the lyrics
- Somewhat often sung by solo artists who have no talents other than a voice, which doesn't necessarily have to be a good voice, as long as they are good looking.

None of which are true of those three bands.

And 2 of the 3 bands' presence on Kids Bop alone does not qualify them as pop music either. I don't know what those people were smoking when the chose Evanescence and Linkin Park to put on a CD made especially for pre-teens. Like pre-teens *really* need to be listening to that. :rolleyes: I mean they can, and probably do in great numbers, buy their albums, but their presence on a specifically designed CD for kids is just wrong.
everyone has been hurt emotionally before, and these bands take advantage of this.

That's a false generalization, first off. There are varying degrees of that, and you can't speak for "everyone". Secondly, I can almost guarantee you that these songwriters didn't start off by thinking "Hey, a lot of people will relate to a sad song, and that will get us better sales, so I better write a sad song." No, what they were thinking, probably, was "Hey, that thing that happened several years ago, man! was that bad! You know what? I should write a song about that to help me get rid of some of those old feelings, and let other people know what I went thru." Now, I can't say that's true 100% of the time, but certainly a lot more true than what you said.
other, more talented bands.

All in the eyes of the beholder. And please don't take that to extremes, when you know what I mean.
THEY ARE ALL THE SAME.

You've said that half a dozen times. But you haven't said once, WHY that's such a bad thing. I don't think you're a liar, I just think that's not a bad thing. On the other hand however, I don't think the President is a liar, but that doesn't mean I don't hate him as much.
if radio stations and tv had a better mix of music, more variety

You want variety? Change the damn station - and don't make another false generalization by saying that every station has the same thing on when you know that's not true. Go buy albums from bands that YOU like. DONT watch VH1/MTV. DONT listen to nu-metal radio. Instead of blaming people for not having variety, which you can do nothing about, spend your time on changing something you can change: your own music collection. Your own radio listening.
the more profit is to be had.

And rap artists aren't interested in profit? Country singers aren't interested in profit? Hilary Duff isn't interested in profit? Obviously, the only people who care about making money in this business are nu-metal bands who have depressing music. :rolleyes:
but i do think she has a fairly pretty voice. alot better than this ashlee simpson shit thats flyin around.

why thank you

[PsiRedEye22]

Ypsidan, don't fight it man. I hate to tell you this, but Linkin Park sucks. It sucked before this "bad taste" website was made, and will continue to suck. That is all.

[ypsidan04]

Ypsidan, don't fight it man. I hate to tell you this, but Linkin Park sucks. It sucked before this "bad taste" website was made, and will continue to suck. That is all.

We're not just talking about them. We're talking about a whole lot of my favorite music.

[guod90]

Hey Linkin Park is like a rollercoaster. They look dangerous but are in fact very safe.

[nobodyyouknowof]

hey guys whats a good song by dream theatre....every1 latly on here has been sayin theyre so good and the only song i got that i liked was "as i am"....i had about 15 other songs by them but they all sounded crappy to me.....do i have the wrong band or do u guys just have way different taste in music compared to me....wahts their top 5 songs or ur top 5 favourites personally....i'd like to hear some more songs by them that are at least half decent......and all of those bands are shiity that he had....adema is 1 that i can kind of listen to but not for extended periods of time.....and yes as every1 else has said this guy is the fucking man...im just surprised no1 beat him up!

[Sezril]

As I Am is from their newest CD, Train of Thought. Their older stuff is way more proggish than Train of Thought, but ToT's still good.

I'd recommend:

Fatal Tragedy
Under A Glass Moon
Home
Stream Of Consciousness
A Change Of Seasons

Though if you're looking for something heavy and aggressive, these guys definitely aren't for you.

[nobodyyouknowof]

hey..thanks im downloadin them as im typing thsi but do you happen to know some good bands that are heavier too?....but not the screaming crap

edit: wow!! i spelled "thanks" as "thakjnks"....i always mess up on words terribly..it is now fixed

[DreamTheater]

you could also try some stuff like:
pull me under
Lie
caught in a web
erotomania
The glass prison..some people dont like that one but i do..the end is very iron maidenish..i wouldnt be able to tell the difference if he used the word gallows once or twice

A Change of Seasons however..is a MUST. its like a 24 minute long orgasm..but without the mess.....

[nobodyyouknowof]

the best calming song i know of....that just flows so great...just like change of season by dream theatre...................you gotta download Beethoven - Piano Sonata No. 14 in C sharp minor ("Moonlight") (Op. 27/2: Adagio sostenuto....not sure if you'll need this part to get the right song)...anyway...everytime i listen to that song its just so flowing and its a feel good song to me...check it out...its all piano and is cool.....and no i'm not big on this really old music from that time.

[limaksti]

Hey, I have been hearing a lot about dream theatre and my friend tells me they have an amazing drummer. I was wondering what are their better albums because I like to listen to the album as a whole rather than just individual songs. I think that's how good artists want their music to be heard.

[ypsidan04]

Hey Linkin Park is like a rollercoaster. They look dangerous but are in fact very safe.

Quite honestly, I can't refute that.

[Skinny]

I don't particularly like any of that kind of music.

But that guy is a dick. If someone wants to go to a concert and doesn't affect you at all, and you have to yell at them that they suck, you're a dick. If you had a piece of pizza, and I came up to you in the street with a megaphone and started saying "You have bad taste in Italian Dishes" over and over again, would I be a dick? Yes.

Honestly, grow up and realize different people have different tastes. If they aren't pushing their crappy music in your face, then leave them the hell alone.

three best albums i think

images and words
awake (these two are tied for best)
scenes from a memory


youre actually pretty right when you say that album thing..cause almost all of their songs are in someway connected to another one on that album, like a lyrical line in one song becomes a minor guitar riff in a another..its pretty cool

o yeah and skinny..i hate to say it..but that guy is kinda bein a dick..last summer i was gonna go to a metallica concert and linkin park was playin too..linkin parks music isnt horrible..its catchy, but far from great. after listening to a song for the second time, its not all too catchy anymore and youre waiting for it too end. but yeah anyways hes bein a dick but hell i agree with him so hes my kinda dick.

[killerclown]

They won't work for me :(

[ozz]

if you like dream theater then you should listen to symphony x, in my opinion their better then dream theater

dream theater tends to get a little old to me when i listen to it for too long

[ypsidan04]

I finally watched one of these abominations, and I'm glad the guy is getting laughed off the stage, if you will.

EDIT: ANGST RIDDEN ANGST RIDDEN ANGST RIDDEN ANGST RIDDEN! Fuck him.

EDIT: Fuck "Scientific Proof Magazine". And I haven't even seen Evanescence yet.

EDIT: I'll voice my opinion: How in hell did Evanescence AND Coldplay lose? That's robbery. He doesn't know shit about "the average grammy voter". And Dan Marino doesn't have a Super Bowl ring, but that doesn't mean that Trent Dilfer is better than him. I give him credit though for pronouncing it right - my best friend never does. I guess that's the least he could do.

I hope he gets 10X the amount of hate mail that Maddox gets. I'd give him a nice fat slice of my mind if I had as much free time on my hands as this guy obviously has, and if I didn't know that he's so thick upstairs that it wouldn't do any good.

[guod90]

You know it isnt a real magazine right?

[ypsidan04]

I was thinking about saying "Like that really exists!", but then I thought someone might show me their website. And that would be real scary! SO I preferred to be 99% sure, but still keep my mouth shut.

[DreamTheater]

ok, well, i was tired about arguing about this, but since you asked..ill continue this ypsidian.

-evanescence and linkin park isnt "pop" music per se. ill agree with you that it doesnt fit most of the pop/punk or all out pop characteristics. WHAT it does share in common, and what is the most important part of music, is that it all fits into this pre-cut assembly line sound. comparing those bands is like comparing prilosec and nexium..theyre the same damn thing. just as every britney spears/christina aguilera/justin timberlake/jessica simpson song sounds exactly the same, all of your songs do as well.

-whats so wrong about this you ask? well, as i said before, creativity in music is the number one most important thing. thats why theres so many different types of music. thats why some of the first rappers actually sounded good. thats why bruce dickinson opted out of opera for iron maiden. thats why the new metallica album sucked. creativity is everything in music. a lack of creativity in any type of music makes it suck. i wont even just generalize this to your stuff. take avenged sevenfold for example. they sound alot like metallica back in their hey day, but not as good. so why listen to them when i could be listening to One or Master of Puppets? its kinda like evolution in music, but it sucks too. once one type of music is deemed popular by the public, it is profitable, thus making an incentive for it to be copied. ever wonder how there could have possibly been a hair metal boom? well this is how. its exactly what is happening non-stop today. once the music becomes more about pleasing peoples musical tastes and making money than expressing themselves musically, then it loses all creativity, originality, and value in my opinion. i know that youre going to say/think that they are expressing themselves, but hey, thats your opinion and this is mine. i can almost guarantee you that they do start off writing a song by saying, hey, if this song is sad and it connects with 99% of the population, it will be popular. proof of this? almost every song follows the same pattern.

-you tell me to change the station...hmmmm..it might be different in ann arbor, but when i do change the station, guess what i hear. you guessed it, the exact same thing. if you think youd be able to find dream theater on any radio station then youre crazy (if anyone does have a radio station like that youre a lucky bastard). radio stations as a whole dont have that much of a variety. theyre all about profit, so they play what is profitable in their genre.

-And rap artists aren't interested in profit? Country singers aren't interested in profit? Hilary Duff isn't interested in profit?
and linkin park isnt interested in profit? evanescence isnt interested in profit? metallica isnt interested in profit?
..you forgot to finish your sentence, so i finished it for you.

-I don't hate you because you think my music sucks. I hate you because you have "crushkerry.com" in your signature.
dont worry, i dont hate you because your music sucks, i dont even hate you because of that shitty quoute you got in your sig, i think those just show your lack of intelligence. hell, i dont even hate you, cause you know, hate is pretty strong, and wasting it on you would be pretty futile. i guess its all that emo you listen to making you so damn emotional. assuming youre a guy, you might wanna go to a doctor, cause well..last time i checked, guys arent supposed to pms. as i said, i dont hate you. all i can say is that you anger me. not because you hate bush. not because your music sucks. not because youre emotional. you anger me because you are very block headed. ive listened to your music, ive even admitted that at times ive enjoyed linkin park, and hell, even evanescence. i almost went to a linkin park concert once. thats stuff i hate saying, but hey its true. all you do is defend your shit* blindly. never have i seen you do otherwise.

*shit as in "his shit" and as in "it is shit"
pretty cool eh

and another thing that i realized earlier today..in your sig, i dont know if youre stupid or what, but it wasnt bush that made the rest of the world hate us. 9/11 had been in planning since 96. bush hadnt done anything to the east before 9/11. no matter who was president, the towers would have been attacked, and those who hated us before are still hating us now, just as those who truly liked us before stand by our side still. muslims hate america because of our support of israel. i hate to break it to you, but that has been going on for 50 years, and so has **some muslims hate. you do the math, if youre capable.

[guod90]

I was thinking about saying "Like that really exists!", but then I thought someone might show me their website. And that would be real scary! SO I preferred to be 99% sure, but still keep my mouth shut.
You dont have to lie.

[ypsidan04]

you think youd be able to find dream theater on any radio station then youre crazy (if anyone does have a radio station like that youre a lucky bastard).

And I wish I could get Lacuna Coil on radio, but I can't. When we own a radio station, we can put on what we want - until then, all we can do is request, and even then you need help from others. And I told you not to use that argument, because I was expecting it. There are rap stations, there are light rock stations, there are classic rock stations, there are oldies stations...put one of those on. In the Detroit area, there is only ONE station that is completely new rock. There are others that have some new rock, but also have rap/80's/pop mixed in. I'm sure it won't be a burden to find a radio station you like.
you forgot to finish your sentence, so i finished it for you.

Well, you make it seem like it's a bad thing to be interested in profit. Number one, it's not, and number two, every band you like is as well. So drop that argument.
guys arent supposed to pms.

Again, you think you know everything. You think you know my personality. I'm keeping this to the facts (opinions), so why don't you? We don't need character attacks.
not because youre emotional.

If you think the only people who listen to "emo" music, - I never use that word -, are emotional people, who hate their parents/think their life sucks in general, then you got another thing coming.
and those who hated us before are still hating us now, just as those who truly liked us before stand by our side still.

Well since you went off topic, the fact is, "90%" of "the people who hated us" pre-9/11, loved us post-9/11 because of the sympathy factor. And "90%" of those people have been since turned back against us by the Bush Administration's refusal to abide by international law, and popular opinion. As long as Bush is in office, people who wouldn't otherwise want to kill Americans are going to take up the cause. Thus, the writer of that quote (it came from a weekly comic), and myself, believe that Osama would love nothing better than for Bush to be re-elected. Because if he's not, then some Muslims might lose their hatred of America.

[Wurby Tictoc]

Before they made the mainstream in 2000, how many bands out there sounded like Linkin Park? Huh? I'm pretty sure that the answer is NO ONE. There may be tons of LP clones these days, but I'm pretty sure LP invented that sound.
You're an idiot. Nine Inch Nails was doing industrial rock way before LP.
