Lold So now if you use harsh vocals you're tryhard? That's a lot of bands man. So if, say, you simply enjoy the idea of making music and you enjoy death metal and you want to sing in a death metal band you're automatically a tryhard poser OR you're an underground metal-hipster-type thing? You cannot POSSIBLY be just a guy who simply likes the music and wanted to make his own, because that is not true at all is it!

[QUOTE=Sporkfire;26966090]lol no, he makes millions of dollars just by playing music off his laptop during his live performances. Hardly try-hard at all.[/QUOTE] thing is though he puts even less effort into making those tracks but yeah according to your definition if you're in a metal band you're automatically trying too hard

[QUOTE=Sporkfire;26965988] you've proved my point. AUGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHYUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU[/QUOTE] Actually my point in this post was to show you that you don't need to look metal to make metal, which you are easier too stupid to notice or you're hardheaded and just ignored that and decided to focus on the music spefically.

With a brick

[QUOTE=absinthe;26966168]thing is though he puts even less effort into making those tracks but yeah according to your definition if you're in a metal band you're automatically trying too hard[/QUOTE] yeah pretty much. I called metal music try-hard didn't I? Its certainly true, its rife with juvenile and over-the-top stuff. Everything about and related to metal is try-hard, this unfortunately includes you guys. I've never seen such overzealous defense of something so trivial in my life.

I must not be a very good metal fan because I don't feel that way at all

Wow.

I feel this thread needs a boycott, so we don't have to listen to one man's bigoted views.

So I guess Im a bad metal fan because I dont have hair past my shoulders and dont dress up in corpse paint and I'm not a Satanist or wear leather and spikes??

As opposed to techno (yeah fuck it why not, you address everything as the same I might as well do the same)? Bunch of bikini clad drunken/wasted/ugly retards gyrating to songs sampled by better artists 20 years before them, where everyone dreams of playing in Ibiza at the Ministry of Sound and everything is written on FL Studio.

No point in trying to make me the bad guy here, I threw in one little rude remark when I've been bombarded by them the entire time. It's not a big deal.

[QUOTE=absinthe;26966322]yeah but he didn't actually insult you guys you just took it that way because you're super defensive nerds[/QUOTE] Why nerds? Is it a generalisation that only nerds listen to metal? I know he never insulted us, he just refuses to give a two sided argument.

he didn't say there was anything wrong with FL Studio he was just generalising techno artists like what sporkfire's doing with metal

I can't stand growling. I love Tom Waits though. He's cool.

[QUOTE=gman003-main;26965700]The duet version of "A Tout Le Monde" (from United Abominations) is quite possibly the stupidest thing David Mustaine has ever done. I didn't really like his early stuff, but that can be justified as "he was still learning, still figuring out how to write songs", but the original A Tout Le Monde is one of my favorite metal songs, and he fucking ruined it. It's a song about a lonely, sad suicide - making it a duet and speeding it up makes it WORSE, not better. I can't imagine how anyone sane could think that was a good idea. Of course, judging by Endgame, Mr. Mustaine IS crazy, so maybe that's his excuse.[/QUOTE] A Toute Le Monde is not about suicide :colbert:

[QUOTE=mikeyt493;26966415]he didn't say there was anything wrong with FL Studio he was just generalising techno artists like what sporkfire's doing with metal[/QUOTE] he didn't say the words sure but he definitely implied it

I bet the majority of you guys don't even know what techno is, of course you guys will wiki it and reply to me nonchalantly.

[QUOTE=Sporkfire;26966491]I bet the majority of you guys don't even know what techno is, of course you guys will wiki it and reply to me nonchalantly.[/QUOTE] I am positive you don't even know what metal really is either.

[QUOTE=Kab2tract;26966506]I am positive you don't even know what metal really is either.[/QUOTE] I don't think you understand. Techno unlike Metal isn't a giant over-lapping genre. It's more of a sub-genre.

[QUOTE=Sporkfire;26966491]I bet the majority of you guys don't even know what techno is, of course you guys will wiki it and reply to me nonchalantly.[/QUOTE] my cousin's husband-to-be recently said he "likes to listen to techno like tiesto when he wants to get pumped up" I was really struggling to stop from laughing in front of everyone (this was during thanksgiving dinner)

[QUOTE=Sporkfire;26966569]I don't think you understand. Techno unlike Metal isn't a giant over-lapping genre. It's more of a sub-genre.[/QUOTE] Please, educate me then.

Like the fella I've quoted below [QUOTE=Kab2tract;26966612]Please, educate me then.[/QUOTE] Techno is an American created genre of electronica. When you're saying techno you really only talking about a small part of electronic music.
