Tits McGee 05.02.09	my dick
CompanionCube 05.02.09	oh snap
Yazz_Flute 05.02.09	Well, as a drummer I find it more difficult to drum to 1.
marksellsuswallets 05.02.09	usually it takes me longer to learn BTBAM's stuff...
KILL 05.02.09	poop
ziroth 05.02.09	I tried drumming BTBAM Prequel on rock band on expert once. I have a new appreciation for actual drummers.
myhigherpie 05.02.09	Well Btbam don't really have a pattern or any sort of balance in their music whatsoever and it is just one big sequence after the other, so I would say protest the hero.
marksellsuswallets 05.02.09	So you think things with patterns are harder to learn than things without them?
Waior 05.02.09	Okay, Protest the Hero (guitarwise) sticks to boxes and mostly comfortable riffs. BTBAM's riffs are awkward and inconvenient to play, they're all over the fretboard. Guitar, BTBAM for sure. And actually, once you get down bass tapping, BTBAM is harder on bass too. But I don't drum. I also know for sure that Blake is better than Moe.
myhigherpie 05.02.09	nah, I just dont like btbam anymore... all in all though, protests music is much more complex because the songwriting is more sophisticated compared to btbam who... well, have no songwriting. None of their music is coherent and it is really just a big technical ball of messy wankage.
myhigherpie 05.02.09	although btbman's music is probably harder to play individually... what I mean here is that in the bigger picture of things pth is the better band because they have restraint and balance.
PuddleSwimmer 05.02.09	It probably is harder to learn how to fuck around in a shitty mess rather than play songs that make sense and make melodies AKA music
Waior 05.02.09	Yeah, that's not the question. BTBAM is by far more difficult.
marksellsuswallets 05.02.09	Well the point of the list is what band has music that is harder to play. I don't really think BTBAM has poor songwriting at all though. All the individual songs on Alaska flow pretty well. Colors gets a bit discombobulated at times though. As much as I love PTH, there are a few spots in Fortress that are pretty wanky and a little incoherent.
PuddleSwimmer 05.02.09	To play a song and to write the song are two different things
PuddleSwimmer 05.02.09	bloc you like to ask a lot questions, eh?
kitsch 05.02.09	my higher pie is an idiot itl
Yazz_Flute 05.02.09	Yeah, Moe is a great drummer but blake is just a fucking beast. When I saw Prog Nation last year, at one point all of the drummers/percussionists came out and dueled eachother. I personally thought that Blake bested even Portnoy there, he was impressive.
PuddleSwimmer 05.02.09	It's a question that makes me VERY ANGRY because it's a friggin paradox
YouAreMySilence 05.02.09	Damn. I was going to make the dick joke.
bloc 05.02.09	there's a good reason why i like question based lists. most of the lists on this site are like digs and the like, and to be honest, i really don't care too much about what the next user is digging. with my lists, people can answer a question depending on their own preferences and the options whereas in a dig list, they can pretty much only say, "oh yeah, i like 3 as well" or whatever.
PuddleSwimmer 05.02.09	That's very true, you're a hands on man, a people's person. I like that
tinathefatlard 05.02.09	Mike Hawk
Chewie 05.02.09	calling BTBAM completely incoherent and PTH completely coherent is like calling a cat a dog and calling a dog a cat that looks somewhat like a dog
bloc 05.03.09	thanks PuddleSwimmer for getting my point. i can see why people may call pth and especially btbam incoherent. for the latter band and to like their latest album, you REALLY gotta be into the genre cause if you ain't, pretty much every song will sound like the same jumble of notes and noise spanning 66 minutes. i think pth can suffer from that too. but to be honest, i think pth has a little bit more structure in their songs and a larger population can appreciate them since they are, well, songs.
