Guest AmbientMood Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 People who succumb to genres are naive in the first place and there's never going to be any way to poison them against whatever trend they have stupidly been sucked into. I think that the only way to achieve 'real' musical taste ('taste' not being an expression to express preference) is to unlock yourself from genres, even if your style of hair or clothing suggest an inclination to a type of music that has become more about fashion than sound. Until you do that, you are just a 'noob' skimming the surface of what music is really about, thrashing out lame arguments over trivial points no-one cares about.

Dan G Posted April 14, 2005 Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 People are using 'metalcore' as a label, just like emo before it... and more often than not it's being used in the wrong way.Although it should be plainly obvious, many people don't seem to understand that metalcore = metal + hardcore (i.e. the riffing of metal with the breakdown/vocal/lyrical aspect of hardcore). Not, metalcore = the current trendy music that is shit.Take Killswitch Engage for example: Amazing 'metalcore' band that simply have great metal riffs and choruses with fat hardcore beatdowns and lyrics. Metalcore describes a style of music, not a quality of music - and saying that "all metalcore is shit" cos of a few rubbish bands is as retarded as saying that all pakistanis are thieves because there was one on crimewatch.A shit band is a shit band. A shit power metal band is a shit band. A shit grunge band is a shit band, and hence; A shit metalcore band is a shit band. But just cos a band plays 'metalcore' doesn't mean they're automatically shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the bands I mentioned seem to give the genre a bad name cos they seem to be so cliched and genetic. Theres no "core" in hawthorne heights. I do like metalcore bands like November Coming Fire, Stand, From Autumn to Ashes, Winter in June etc so I'm not completetly dismissive of such a genre. And the above mentioned Small Brown Bike are ace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarleyQuinn Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 They're rubbish. Rubbish on record' date=' rubbish live. Fucking awful band.[/quote']fairy nuff, im all up for people having opinions.. (even if they are wrong )personally i think MCR are great and i thought they were even better live than on record. Each to their own i guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
