I remember when I first listened to metal, I hated it, but with generally exposure to anything you can get used to it and even come to really enjoy it - you find your niché in a particular area. Make no mistake, even if you dont think a record is good theres generally always a LOT of talent coming from somewhere inputted into it, most people here could not produce something as good as your average rap or dance record even if they had the kit to do so.

I may be totally wrong, but perhaps the people who exclusively listen to the popular music are kind of ignorant to some of the other alternates available. When most people hear I like metal music, they say some thing like "So you like Metallica then?" They may just listen to what ever is on the radio or because all their friends are listening to it, even though they may not enjoy it themselves. The only problem I have with all the "popular" music (besides the fact I don't care for it ) is that the people who preform it are waaay outclassed by artists like Symphony X, Dream Theater, Vai, Blind Guardian, etc, but these guys and hundreds others never get the mainstream recognition that they deserve. Instead, generally talentless rap artists or the newest pop-punk band get all of the radio play time and various music awards that are better suited for the people who actually deserve to be recognized.

The main riff on the song try is awesome I just don't like some of his lyrics when they make him sound like a whiny middle/upper class class guy or when he gets too depressive.. it's like cheer up john, you're a millionaire doing what you love, stop whining about how your BMW won't start (okay bit of an exaggeration, but really I like the guy) You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Mar 15 2008, 03:05 AM	GMC:er Posts: 2.361 Joined: 27-April 07 From: London,ont	just for this thread.. i present to you.. a techno song.. that my bassist wrote.. in about 10 minutes I don't mind rap at all.. i can't stand "Gangsta Rap, or UnderGround Rap" I like rap that has a message and tells a story for anyone from the UK i really enjoy " The Streets" and i like stuff by some more reputable rap artists.. this comeing from a complete metalhead. Techno music is the classic rock of today.. all the hippies seem to listen to techno now.. or "electronic music" Its not all bad stuff groups like "Infected Mushroom" and "Daft Punk" are really creating some impressive music dispite the lack of "instrumental talant" It still takes a keen ear to create such intricate melodies and beats. Really all and all music is meant to be listened to and enjoyed and if anyone is doing that over any genre of music then the artists have succeeded.. On the level of Pop Music.. music that is created for the soul purpose of being catchy and making money, dragging in minds that havn't had the time to find their own taste and therefore follow the crowd.. this music i do not like.. i don't mind indie pop artists.. indie music is kinda fun theres my rant.. listen to the song if you want.. its actually kinda fun to listen to im gunna post this and edit the song in later as im having troubles with it..

Mar 15 2008, 03:23 AM	GMC:er Posts: 667 Joined: 6-July 07 From: Atlanta, GA, USA	Popular music in large part seems to be on a global scale, whatever is popular on MTV in the United States. This is not because the music on MTV is particularly good, just that bad music is one of the US's chief exports. It's not just music, but the culture and style associated with it. If you would reflect on what RHCP meant when they coined the term "Californication", you can realize what they are talking about when you put it in this context. It's not necessarily talent in music, but there is definite marketing talent and promo talent involved. A lot of people in the US listen to trash because that's what is available to them on the radio. I know if I listen to my "rock" station, it's either Super Tramp or Nickelback. Neither of these bands do I get excited about listening to. Don't get mad at other people for making this stuff popular, just enjoy what you enjoy and be done with it. Also, about metal concerts, I've had many a beer with many a metal head at many a metal show in many a concert hall. Don't kid yourself. People will take all sorts of "mind altering" substances when they're at a place to seek novelty/enjoyment for no other reason than they believe that it will heighten their experience. At a metal show, I drink several beers then stop just before the band comes on. This drug phenomenon is not limited to pop music, you can even find it at jazz and piano bars. Take heart and know that everything is cyclical. Rap/Hip-hop dominate the mainstream, but if 2 or 3 good rock acts take the stage around the same time, it might swing back in Rock's direction.
