Does anyone here NOT like Rock/Metal music?!

[NeoTassadar]

I admire the drummers' playing more than guitarists'. Rammstein and Megadeath have the best. Drums are a hell of a lot harder than guitar, and the songs would fall apart without drummers, while most can stand without guitars. Linkin Park gets by on good lyrics, and nice all-around instruments. System of a Down get by on awesome instruments, and funny as hell lyrics and vocals.

I concur. Drumming is definatly more difficult. On the flip side the drummers are usually insane.

[NeoTassadar]

Oh, yes. I have near-zero respect for vocals when comparing to instruments. So I don't really even consider pop or rap to be music, really. Rap has at least a resemblance, though. I think I'm about the only guy who likes Rammstein and Classical at the same time, though.

I'm a drummer and have been playing for about a year now. I've played with about 1 or 2 bands and drums are hard, but still, without guitar and bass, it jsut aint a band. You still haev to give credit to the other instruments. Also to singing. It's not easy to sing. Although i admit, drumming is hard as hell. While the guitarists are sittign their flickign their fingers, we drummers are sitting back there moving our entire body around in perfect timing. Finger coordination is one thing, where body coordination is another.

A linkin' park sucks. All their songs osudn the same. You want good rock music? Listen to Indy Rock. Thats where the good stuff is.

EDIT: Avril Lavigasngfanga...Lasanga (whatever) is crap.

I hate rock/metal/pop or any of that fruity shit. Im a straight up rapper. I will produce for the rest of my life, RAP 4 L13F!

When I was in highschool me and my friends listened to Rap exclusively. I dunno if anyone of us really liked it, but we were all trying to be "hard" so it was the thing to listen to. We'd run around, blazed as fuk, and thump to Beanie Sigel, Dre, Ghetto Fab, and others.

Once I went to college and re-evaluated my life and focused on what *I* wanted to do... i realized how stupid Rap is.

The beat is the same monotonous thing, the whole song through. Some black guy goes on and drones on and on about how cool he is, how everyone else sucks, how much pussy he gets, how many cars he has, how many cops hes killed.

The guy will say a paragraph or two.. then the chorus will go on and repeat 9-10 times then he says another paragraph.. chorus repeats.. song over.

Now I listen to music that actually sounds good: Nirvana, Bush, Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit (the old stuff, not chocolate starfish crap), and various trance music (i agree with above, not club crap).

Rap can be split up into two categories. "Real rap" and Hollywood rap. Hollywood rap is the crap that rappers like Jay-Z, Ghetto Fab, and other put on. Anything produced by "Murder Inc" is Hollywood Rap. The only people I know that listen to it are:

1. Koreans who have no idea whats going on with the words but think it makes them look harder than their 5 foot selves really are.
2. Some pimply faced black/white teenager who thinks that thumping it as loud as they can in their basement or POS car will make them cool

REAL Rap is the underground shit. Its the Outcast: Aquemani shit. Its the Tash shit. Thats the stuff that the men listen to. I got respect for people who listen to the real rap, it shows they listen to it because they like the music.. not the image.

I dont listen to either types, but i listened to them nonstop for years.. i know what im talking about here.

[Yuyi]

I listen to rock/metal but mostly rap. Im a wigger haha i admit it freely

Edit: yea all of Murder Inc rap is shit

[Revenant]

I was going to go off on how rap = crap.

But..... to each their own, right?

Exactly, most people never get to listen to the rappers with true talent though because they don't always sell the most records. Groups like Jurassic 5, The Roots, Outkast, Talib Kweli and Mos Def are some of the best examples of great rap.

BTW, I agree, Murder Inc. is pure BS.

umm ya sure...... and the drummers job i think is easier. Its so frickin easy to keep a good beat it isnt funny.... yeah it may take the most physical ability, but if you have good coordination and can keep a beat, you can drum.

[Zetre]

i don't really like the heavy metal perse, but i do like hard rock, punk rock, and most rock in general. I like some jazz, i like techno, bluegrass, and a lot of things. I like most everything that is somewhat meaningfull, or coolsounding, or that puts me in a cool mood for something (e.g. techno for crazy driving)
But i really cannot understand all of this new rap, it is utter crap.
All it is is people talking about how they have more money than us, how they are violent, how black people are cooler than white people, and it's all with the same stupid 2 bar beat over and over and over again. I like some of it, like eminem, and some of the old stuff, like run DMC, but this new crap, ughgghghghg.
