You have no emotion

EvilPicnic	Date: August 27, 2006 @ 3:57 PM The blues form is only as limiting as any other form, including sonata form, strophic form, and the other major Western classical forms. I won't spend paragraphs defending the blues (although I could), but you seem not to understand that the 'blues progression' and 'blues scale' are terms coined by (white) scholars to decribe the harmonic and melodic subtleties of the blues form, and enable them to teach it simply to school-children and classical musicians. They are gross simplifications. The majority of the 80,000+ people at the Reading festival are most probably 'musically illiterate'. They still enjoy the music, know what they like, and know what they dislike. You don't need to be an RSM professor to decide that you dislike the band enough to throw a bottle at them (not that a professor would do such a thing). Throwing a bottle is an expression of opinion. I'm not saying that you shouldn't value some opinions over others, just that you not dismiss all opinions from non-experts as trivial and meaningless. They may be. They may not be. You should way up the opinion on it's own merits, and not base your judgement on the appearance of the person giving the opinion. That's all I'm saying. 'Wagner may have been a poor musician but he was obviously not musically illiterate': Illustrates my point. If you went to Wagners Dmusic page to decide whether to listen to his opinion or not, and heard his crappy piano playing...
EvilPicnic	Date: August 27, 2006 @ 4:01 PM Oh, almost forgot. Just checked your music page... Haven't yet decided whether to give your opinion credit or not
hueseph	Date: August 27, 2006 @ 4:26 PM That's fine. What I was referring to was not like or dislike. I don't mind at all someone saying that I don't like this or that. I encourage it. Hooray for variety. What I don't like is when people say this person sux. Hu? That's right. There is a difference. I don't even like Kirk Hammet but to say that he sucks is just ludicrous. He's not the best out there and his stature as a guitarist is most definitely bloated but he doesn't suck. No he does not. He's good at what he does. He's sloppy and relies on some crutches but he fills his role in 'tallica, though not in the same way as when they started.
jewsus	Date: August 27, 2006 @ 5:02 PM actually he does suck. now anyway. years ago there was a time when his playing was actually non-repetitive and unmechanical-like. now, unfortunately, he's fallen into this. he really has NO emotion. he doesn't even like the guys in the band. everytime he's onstage he just goes through the motions in order to get that paycheck. all of these reasons are why he actually DOES suck. no musician should go through motions and give little-to-no effort or heart into a song. i'm sure if he left the band and started something he really felt sincere about it might change things. but for the time being he's scum. i have no respect for what he's doing now. honestly, it disgusts me that someone like him can make so much money on something he doesn't give a shit about. he does have the talent and ability to do something great, he's shown that with metallica's earlier albums. but does he continue to do so? no. so he sucks.
Rikki27	Date: August 27, 2006 @ 5:49 PM Good point Jewsus
hueseph	Date: August 28, 2006 @ 2:21 AM Great. I appreciate that. I like to hear an opinion backed up. Thanks for extrapolating.
Rikki27	Date: August 28, 2006 @ 5:13 AM lol when will this thread die?
EvilPicnic	Date: August 28, 2006 @ 12:01 PM Now? It's about time...
GreatGooglyM...	Date: August 28, 2006 @ 12:06 PM Not yet, not yet! We just go into bashing Kirk Hammett! Fuck you, you emotionless wanker!!!
Rikki27	Date: August 28, 2006 @ 1:53 PM pkay then 1 more Hammet bash, but only cos i really and truly hate the man! Ahem...the man lacks so much joy in his playing that i believe playing is chore for him. The solos in his songs since around '94. Even live shows after that were horrible and cringe worthy to watch (my mates a huge 'Tallica fan and im often exposed to the latest bootleg ) he relys too much on the heaviest distortion, the heaviest wah, and the fastest HOs and POs he can do to make it through playing with his "friends". Its clear he is only in it for the money, and if a chance to join another band for the same pay check came along, i believe he would gladly leave. over
