whats your opinion on music? hard rock

[shadowsworn]

The only grunge band I have ever liked is Alice in Chains.

oh, and Evanescence and Linkin Park were the first music I liked that wasn't classic rock or soundtrack music, actually. I think they qualify as hard rock.

I went off Evanescence when their follow up album turned out to be horrible, though. I still like the song Imaginary off of Fallen, though.

I don't really care about Linkin Park anymore. I don't actively dislike them, I just don't care.

Anyways, Alice in Chains. The song is called Rooster.

lol well alice in chains is a good band but my question is do u like music back in the 90s or say 80s or music now hard rock music only or metal or plain rock

[shadowsworn]

oh. Well I love metal. I don't like stuff like, um, I dunno, Korn, Slipknot, Marilyn Manson.

I prefer stuff like Ensiferum, Moonsorrow, Amon Amarth, dream Theater, Pain of Salvation, and Skyclad and Sabbat. Underground stuff basically, with an emphasis on folk and prog metal. the mainstream of metal is full of shit for the most part.

oh, except for good stuff from back in the eighties like Iron Maiden, Van Halen, and Judas Priest. They were all great bands, especially Maiden.

This was the song that got me into metal, though (old CoF is good)

Love all rock. Except for bands who don't know how to use chords, melodies, and harmonies properly. Other than that, I'm all for any type of rock.

To answer his question straight up, music nowadays sucks compared to older music.

[shadowsworn]

hmm, I guess I could sum up my position with "the good music went underground. Most everything in the mainstream these days is terrible."

That would also just be an opinion >_>

They said the same thing 20 years ago.

Exactly. Gotta love shortsightedness.

To also answer his question:

I think mainstream music is at the worst it has ever been, and the beginnings of that were the mid to late 90s. The mainstream has always had shit, as is customary, but I think the MAINSTREAM is at its worst right now, but that's only because mainstream society is at its absolute shittest. I say that in a cultural and artistic sense.

Music, in general, is at the best it has ever been. In terms of what the bands and artists I love are putting out.

Perhaps the 90s, but then, how is that fair to judge?

The best of the 90s (Which is different for everyone), in my opinion, was a culmination of decades, hence why most of what a lot of us consider to be the best music, came out then. It was when the creatively influenced people of older influential bands made albums of their own.

It's cyclical and based on many other things than quality.

**** yeah my main man lol especially rap god its horid today old school rap is the bets man

Disturbed is nu-metal, right? I'll listen to some rock now and then, but I mostly listen to metal. Rock just isn't fast enough for my tastes.
