Why don’t you go back to beating up twelve year olds like a good bully and leave thinking to those with sentience and a little more sapience?

Had not checked back until now, being a metal, but not metalcore, fan, and listening to most of the stuff on here, I’d like to think I keep it open enough without having anything fall out to become the Zombie platter.

Cheers indeed.

Kudos to you for giving it a shot anyway…more than most might have done in the same situation. Keep your mind open, even it that entails enduring noodly drivel like Dream Theater from time to time:) Cheers.

Hoo boy, and they call me pretentious, that was a little hard to sit through, though by far the least pretentious thing I’ve had to hear in regard to metal.

Ever tried to sit through fucking Dream Theater?

Jesus biscuit baking Christ, man.

I love to engage in that sort of thing, what am I supposed to do? Go browse DeviantArt and challenge myself intellectually in their music forums with avant garde discussions on the intricacies of some band I’ve never heard of/hate and the obvious use of synthesizers in modern music being abhorrent to classically tuned ears?

I may seem a bit pretentious, but I have yet to be smug and self important, my cousin on the other hand, he does exactly that.

Oh, and here’s a shocker, he loves jazz, and when the one guy breaks into a totally random sax solo with no prompting and no one but those playing laugh – he laughs with them.

Fair enough my friend, fair enough. All in good fun. It’s just that you seem to be a reasonably intelligent person, so it surprises me to see you engage some of the internet retards in what could only be described as pointless quibbling. It’s hard to NOT be drawn in by such sometimes, I know.
Anyway, try to put your deep-seated grudge aside for just a few minutes and check out the song I mentioned. You don’t have to tell anyone if you actually like it:)

Nothing like waking up to this, yes, and I’m rather sure I’ve been a reader for just as long. =)

I daresay they don’t, I’ve seen far worse comments than my own, I think the reason the unwise single me out is rather my consistent dissent as opposed to the intensity or severeness of my comments, perhaps it’s that “dissent” that skews your opinion and others as well.

I’m not entirely sure if that was supposed to be an insult or just some type of smart remark, but given I have my personally built computer sitting here on Comcast, I’m not sure what it means.

All the same, you’re “welcome”, it isn’t often you get to tell a person this is not a forum, what with the phrase “comment” slathered all over the submission system.

I have been a reader of this post for quite some time, although I rarely post comments. I don’t have a problem with witty, cutting remarks or even the obligatory “(insert your fav band) sucks-type comments, but some of yours seem to come from a different place and come across a little more acerbic than most.
At any rate, I wanna play too! So…
Please thank your manager at Cinnabun for me for allowing you to go to the internet cafe across the food court so you could explain the difference between a forum and comments :)

Well given DEP were my first concert experience and I left it having less faith in the genre I love as a whole, you can imagine I do take personally.

These are not forums, these are comments, not a terrible idea though, hintity hint hint Axl.

Very rarely does anyone “discuss” anything here, I’m not entirely sure where you’re getting the Lennon view of MetalSucks, but it isn’t reality. I don’t go hurling them around, but I do throw around a lot of generalizations with DEP, mainly because their audience is so small and easy to confine.

Insults are our bread and butter though, so you might find the site a bit sour if you don’t care for them. :)

Well REV, you are certainly entitled to your opinion, and I wasn’t suggesting that you should run out and buy the DEP discography. I just don’t understand why it all seems so personal to you. I’d like to think that the point of these forums is to be able to discuss what you like, what you don’t like, why you don’t like it etc. If you were to say ” I don’t like their music AND I think the guys in the band are dicks because….” it would make more sense to me than just throwing around sweeping generalizations and insults. Just sayin…

That’s a good representation of the unique meathead mentality I was speaking of, honestly who gives a shit about what one instrument does? If the rest of the package is shit, that means it is too, if you can only appreciate one aspect of the music, that makes you a meathead.

Anyone who thinks that DEP is only capable of noisy guitar wanking has obviously not listened to their last two albums. I would implore doubters to listen to “mouths of ghosts” off their latest and see what I mean. Thoughtful, well crafted, and miles removed from the typical skronky, mathy histrionics of that particular sub-genre. Like ‘em or not, DEP is one of a kind.

Seconded Tyler, seconded.

Ah, I love sheep, they are endlessly amusing.

“abstract”, yes, screaming about how bad you want pussy to the lightning-fire technical nuclear bomb guitar signatures is “abstract”, or perhaps, it’s just a technically proficient and talented version of the aforementioned Linkin Park.

Meatheaded in that they can only grasp one aspect of the music, the technical skill, indeed at least some of the bands you mentioned aren’t about that sole, low-minded thing, DEP are.

Oh and kudos for bashing a bunch of big bands, you didn’t appear sheepish at all, “Hip to bash popular bands” is not you, allow me to offer a rough translation of that sentence in lieu of a nearby woolen friend.

“Baa.” =)

I was implying NIN is gimmicky and gets eaten up by counter culture sheep the world over and is plastered all over every Hot Topic the world over – hence “clear winner” in that category.

I love this sheep, “somewhat popular commercially” really? Wow, when did that happen? I haven’t been up to date since the day before, I suppose it is indeed possible they’ve broken the 15k album sales barrier before then, or somehow been on a tour without making enemies of everyone for their excessive haughtiness and machismo.

I know why I’m wasting my time with this sheep, he makes me laugh, and thus it isn’t time wasted.

@Answelmowitz: I grew up with 90′s trent but I have to say lately the things I’ve seen from him have been amazing and he continues to be one of the classiest(couldn’t think of a better word, but I think ‘classy’ does a fair enough job) in music. Unfortunately, the last few NIN albums haven’t been as good as NIN early stuff(in my opinion) but it is still great music.

I respect everyone on that stage as musicians, mainly Reznor, but I just thought it was a gay video. Don’t really like DEP at all…

They are great musicians, real argument is sober Trent vs 90′s Trent.
