even if I said that anthoneezy, I don't like bands because they blast or if the drumming is woaaaah tech

I just hate the skank beat and mid-tempo dm in general

technical music tends to be faster, yes, but not always

it depends on time sigs obv

bc it's not technical enough?

no because I like music that has drive to it

it keeps going, unlike midtempo which gets tiresome fast

like Ulcerate, their drums are technical and fast, do I like them? Hell no

they're boring and mid-tempo at their core, their music drags

You are the most close minded person on earth.

you call it close-minded

I call it selective.

If you learned anything in econ steve, you should understand how a normal distribution works. I dont need most music, it does nothing for me

you seriously need a reality check when you argue with me, you seem to never comprehend that there are reasons why we do things and not all of us think the same

would you say that faster = more skilled?

midtempo at their core

[QUOTE=Nepenthe;18352512]would you say that faster = more skilled?[/QUOTE]

depends on the complexity

blasting is not that hard just takes practice

jazzy drumming is often more difficult but played at a slower tempo

but a blast beat takes more skill than a skank beat right?

I guess, if you can play anything at a faster tempo I would say that qualifies as more skill because skill is often acquired through practicing?

More practicing = more skill?

idk dude, if anything being overly selective is inefficient because one day you're bound to grow tired of the same kind of music

look who I'm talking to though, real world logic doesn't work with you

last question, does technical = more skill?

nocturnus anyone?

[QUOTE]real world logic doesn't work with you[/QUOTE]

implying the real world isn't filled to the brim with morons

[QUOTE]last question, does technical = more skill?[/QUOTE]

generally yes

writing in 4/4 is easy for the most part unless you're talking about meshuggah or something which is pretty insane

I do mostly 4/4 but have some 6/4

Oh shut up, every single internet dweller and their mom thinks they're above the average human being.

cmon adb we're so close just answer my last question

I did?
[QUOTE=Angmar;18352562]Oh shut up, every single internet dweller and their mom thinks they're above the average human being.[/QUOTE]

if you graduate college, you're probably above average tbh

so the conclusion i've come to based off of answers given to me by adb is that technical = more skill = faster = better

you can play something technical at a slow tempo and be just as talented as someone who plays something easy at a fast tempo

bro

conclusion - it depends

listening to talented players play shitty songs seems to defeat the purpose

you guys should srsly check out this pussed demo

[QUOTE=adb;18352612]a false dichotomy

incredible the amount of statements you misinterpret

you listen to skilled players play bad songs, therefore the talent is useless

I wasn't making a blanket statement about all tech metal (though obviously most is shit)

cool strawman bro

you implied a false dichotomy

either someone is talented or not talented

either the songs are good or they are bad
