Music should come naturally. Not when someone says, "ok now we make song k and we have to make our voice sound totally different to our natural singing voice, to have a sound, we have to make our instruments sound like this, and we have to play this chord progression that all these guys play and we HAVE to have a solo otherwise it's not considered musical."
People are way too absorbed in nit picky bullshit and don't just fucking listen to the music. Music these days (and in previous days) has had to be so chocked up full of guitar lick that it seems to forget what the music was about in the first place.
It's like asshole guitarists HAVING to put solos in songs. "It's not music without a solo". It pisses me the fuck off. I'll be listening to an awesome melody and then captain-dipshit-rockstar-hog-the-limelight fuckhead jumps out with some overused annoying guitar whine dribble that I fast forward through because it's a stupid overused recipe for music. Not saying all solos are completely bad, I mean, a solo with an awesome bassline and drum beat accentuating each others force is a solid sound.
Too many musicians focus on making 1 layer technical, while the rest of the song seems to be boring and stale. Some guitar riff with a 4/4 drum beat in the background, a tonic note baseline and some annoying gargle yell over the top, that follows the same melody as either the bass or the guitars. What makes music really mind altering and soal shaking shit is layering. Not just shitting up 1 layer. I mean making about 6 or 7 layers all have varying melodies that not only accompany each other, but are different enough to focus on individually.
I guess thats why I love Tool, and hate Iron Maiden.
Tool, I get these technical melodic drums, with this varying and dissonant, yet harmonic vocal melody, accompanied by another, totally different rhythm guitar melody and then another, yet again different melodic layer of the lead guitar.
Iron Maiden, I hear 1 Guitarist, going off his fucking nut the entire song, a really high pitched squeel from the singer, and the other guitars copying each others melody, with the drums being about as simple as the little spelling game with the monkey playing the drums. Don't even get me started on the bassline. Totally unfunky, and pretty much just another rhythm guitar. The layers just aren't their own element. They all seem to be supporting and mimicking that shitty singer and the lead guitarist/s.
See, this is where I look like a total hypocrit. Truth is, This guy is playing his music to really connect and entertain the people around him. Big rockstar fuckhead bands just play out their solos and let all the little kiddies buy their T shirts and help fuel their Hummer limos.

Which is why I, and my father before me, loved YYZ by Rush (I'll admit to having rediscovered it recently through Guitar Hero 2, but it's still an awesome song). Though lacking vocals, the guitar, the bass, and the drums are all present and not completely monotonous.

Although, in my case, it's when they start shoving the pre-existing rules down our throats. Especially when it wasn't even that big of a deal to begin with.
Also, I hate it when admins/moderators completely delete a thread without warning, because some things in it may have made them look bad.
Yah, what happened to my rossmum thread?
Doubleplusunloud, duckspeaker. Is Unthread. BB Doubleplusgood!
it wasnt that bad. they had ducks with titties and duck porn in it wich was...um yeah it was terrible.Ohhh right, Lucas worked on Indiana Jones, didn't he? I forgot about that lol. But still, that was all Spielberg. Lucas was just there saying "Hurr I'm helping." Have you ever seen Howard the Duck? Jeez, Lucas.
Give it a rest already.
When the mods around here do nothing about a member, people are all "The mods of h2v are shit. They don't do anything about eliminating bad members."
So they toughen up and ENFORCE THE RULES like they're supposed to.
Then, all of the sudden, when a member that got away with everything up until now gets banned for repeated infraction of the rules, everyone is STILL saying, "The mods of h2v are shit. They're too harsh."
When Fried was banned for over THIRTY infractions, you guys are saying "The mods of h2v suck. You're abusing your power."
What do you guys fucking want from them?
I also noticed itszutak said something like, "...they start shoving the pre-existing rules down our throats."
That statement is really stupid. Rules have to pre-exist in order to be enforced.
Would you like them to start shoving non-existing rules down your throats? You'd probably piss your pants more than you already are.
Everyone is all "the mods are making this so dramatic," when it's all you guys who are all, "YOU'RE ABUSING YOUR POWER YOU SUCK H2V SUCKS THIS SUCKS." You're blowing this way out of proportion. Ross was banned because he wanted to be. End of story. Not to mention all his alt accounts, OR how he harassed Dole, Digikid, and several others from the "an hero" list and got away with it EVERY SINGLE TIME while those members were banned or served time in the Detention Forums.
If it were some other member doing that stuff you guys would've been begging for a ban from the moment it happened. But because it's Ross, does it really make it THAT different?
You guys are taking this to be something much bigger, so don't blame the mods because you feel like being a bunch of drama queens.
Jesus. /counter-rant.
Aerowyn, I love you.
