@FecklessCretin

I'm referring to "simple people" as someone who does appreciates the technicality and creativity of this lick. Its not typical of whats usually heard and thats why i use the term "simple people" the average music listener does not hear things like this and doesn't understand them, but when they bash it I feel its only right to defend it. elitism doesn't turn people away from theory, laziness and lack of passion does.

[2Girls1Rossen]

I don't even want to play that...

[AnimalRepellent]

@OpethToolMetallica of course it is music. When you do lead, you would mix up scales, to run down certain chords in the thytm section. That creates space for more variety and bad ass chops. If your a metallica fan, then you certainly would know how boring a solo can sound over the same note! this is like a appegio scale, picked all the way down, with some diminished shifts. For its own sake, music is your own understanding as a listener. Music is a individual thing.

I wanted to see the riff, i honestly couldn't give a shit about your guitar

[Stratking01]

Sounds like some of the swept notes got into a car wreck with the scale notes and it turned into a video game soundtrack for Mega Man

[ConspX]

this really sounds way better when played slower

[LedZepGuitarman]

This actually probably sounds good with the respective chords played at the same time in the background that he is outlining

@allyourfriendsuck when i was young i worship kurt cobain. i bowed my head to the idol that was Nirvana. i look back now and see that they were talentless, and what they did had nothing to do with music, and everything to do with looking and acting a certain way. all i am saying is that everyones definition of music is an error. the definintion of culture is an error. people dont live their lives they act certain parts. the world is literally a stage. i have nothing against you. peace.

@aqueenowlbee

Yeah, I see how my statement was contrasting in the way that I said emotion was subjective and then later that this was a bout of skill. But what if people are emotionally moved by skill? That's all that needs to be addressed. I should have phrased myself a bit more clear. I'm not looking for an argument, that's silly. And there's more than one person who has access to this account, so, keeping it civil is more my thing than the other guys.

I hate the word "technicality". Makes playing music sound like building a microchip. I care about the art itself and nothing more. Make it in a computer for all I care.

[aqueenowlbee]

@allyourfriendsuck emotion is a part of a particular groups ethics. the particular "emotional" response is triggered by an external stimulus. audio. there is nothing that requires one, should i say there is nothing in this form of music that would even prod one to quietly reflect upon humanity. it is a case of form without content. screw what you think about emotion, and find the correct definition of music. and your definition of subjective pertaining to emotion. they contrast.

[CardgamesonYoshi]

Sounds waaaaay better when slowed down
