Aaah Bach.

I wish I was a king back in the Baroque era.

Imagine just telling one of your subjects. MAKE ME A SONG.

And they pump out music like this.

[2005smithe]

First time hearing, yes Bach and baroque music sounds fantastic. But believe me, studying it makes it painful to your ears. The most complicated music.

love the video man

I am a listener of Baroque music. I just attempted to listen to some contemporary classical music and I think I damaged my brain. I need to listen to Bach to fix my brain.

@SeaWithinASea111 i can see how it could be. it would be awesome if it any band could sound lik this. having a gutiar doni chords and fastly play soemthin sick like that.

[SeaWithinASea111]

@Markc9101 i was just using it as an example.. but I thought it was the more brutal the better?

[Markc9101]

@SeaWithinASea111 So you've turned your back on an entire genre because you don't like a sub-genre that 98% of us metal fans also don't like?

You make lots of sense...

[Shredder665]

@SeaWithinASea111 I have listened to a lot of Muse, and I just don't care for it. Yes pretty much all music has roots in classical, but metal is the most classically influenced genre. Yes classic rock guitars like Jimmy Page or Ritchie Blackmore had major classical influence, but that's still "rock n roll." If you can't hear the classical influence in black metal or neoclassical, then you gotta be crazy. Grind is garbage though, I agree. That isn't death metal, that's fucking noise.

I love how this concerto uses the usually harsh harpsichord (which I love, BTW) as the dressing on the salad which is the whole musical piece, and the strings as the "lettuce". An absolute delight. Since there were no machine shops back then, there are no aural references to the band TOOL--so much for MY metal band correlations.

Bach's finger is the like bar :D
