Musical taste is so subjective. I could take the statement "talented musicians making bad music" and apply it to so many 80s shred bands IMO. Those dudes could play their asses off and most still couldn't write a song I want to listen to.

Different folks different strokes. The whining is hilarious though.

For fucks sake, if you don't like it, don't fucking listen to it. It's still music, even if it isn't pleasing to your ears. When some of the forumites around here post doom or sludge, I don't like it...and I certainly don't understand how anyone can sit and listen to that, but I keep my fucking mouth shut because they DO like it and it's a completely subjective thing.

Is it so hard to understand that what you consider "music" some people consider complete garbage? I'm sure there is plenty of music in your collection that I wouldn't be able to stand 30 seconds of...but if you like it, good for you!!!

Why did you even need to start this thread? Are you really that put out by other people's taste in music? Fuck me...this thread is just another reminder of why I support post-birth abortion

But I try and listen to modern heavy metal. I can appreciate the musicianship but I have to disagree with my former professor. I just don't get it. Its musical garbage! And that's not to say every single band is bad. I'm sure some of the bands are good, but I just don't understand the low tunings that all sound the same- what guys on the forums call BROOTALZ or DJent. To me, it sounds like a bad imitation of pantera that should have died long ago. How many times can you hit the low strings dude?

and the singers. WTF?????? yes, doing good gutteral vocals isn't easy. I understand, but growling like a pissed off doberman isn't music! Killswitch engage almost has it right and adds actual singing. Holy cow, what a concept!

I like the drummers. I think the double bass sounds really cool. I'd like to see more jazz drummers incorporate blast beats into their drumlines.

And where are the horns? why is it all so generic? What gives? The music just isn't music.

and no, this thread isn't a troll. I just hate the majority of modern metal I hear. Its refreshing to hear a modern band like Steel Panther or Firewind. Guys who are actually musical.

Yeah, because given their musical and lyrical content, bands like Cannibal Corpse and Nile would sound just fine having melodic vocals. /sarcasm

On a serious note, melodic vocals can sound shitty too.
