    Never said you did, nor had a go at you for it. That just seemed like what you were implying, and you were talking about the extent to which musicians 'use' their instruments. I was just merely stating my opinion, that is all.

    Coldplay are naff though.

  2. rofl, exaggerating a bit.

    Regardless of your opinion that they just smash their drum and riff at 100 miles an hour and scream and make loud noises, if you give them a try you'll realize their musical abilities and the thought that goes into their music, beyond the ****ing up lyrics.

    I used to think death metal was complete ****e when i was younger, but i eventually got into it. It does just sound like a loud noise at first, but eventually your ears open up and you can decipher parts of the music that you couldn't before, and it all just starts clicking.

    It's not for you, i understand, i just don't like it when people describe it anything like just a loud noise or raping the drums really fast.

    It's completely impossible. If somebody manages to take a wide range of influences and lead music into a new and interesting direction then we have the signs of a good artist. To take a piece of music, reorganise a few notes, remain within the same key and time signature and musical medium (genre in the case of a modern band) is still stealing music. Tash is obviously ignorant to the fact that, say, Vaughan Williams stole from Scriabin who stole from Chopin who stole from Beethoven who stole from Bach. Theft of musical ideas and even note for note theft has been going on for a long long time and some of the greatest artists of music have done it and admitted to doing so - but if they can also take heed of their influences and use them wisely to craft a style of their own then they have done something of worth.

    Nb. I can't stand Coldplay or Metallica.

    I think the only genre of music I have never ever really got into is death/heavy metel.

    Gotta agree about the coldplay comment again, their first album had a few good "pop" songs on them, but i just don't get this superstar **** about them, they're ****ing boring, and Chris Martin does seem to have his head up his own arsehole.
    I love all kinds of good music, my main passion is blues and rock music, but hey, i think that James morrison new song is very good and he's got a great voice,
    don't get me started on that twat James Blunt though

    That's a shame because you miss out on so much great music. I love rock, metal, country, jazz, blues, classical, folk, irish traditional and even a little pop music. You should broaden your horizons a bit because there is so much great music in most genres.

    In no particular order

    The Smiths
    The La's
    REM
    Beach Boys
    Oasis
    U2
    Coldplay (mentioned a lot on here and even though Chris Martin can act like a sycophantic idiot at most times they are for me incredible live and have some amazing tunes like Politik, Amsterdam and Lovers In Japan. And no Viva La Vida does not count! There's a new song they've been playing at festivals called Hurts Like Heaven which barring the awful title is a tune!)
    The Beatles
    The Police
    A-ha (everyone says they're one hit wonders for teenage girls but Scoundrel Days their 2nd album is beast. Adam Clayton from U2 said they were horribly misunderstood plus Morrissey and the Gallaghers are fans so they're good enough for them at least!)
