first of all, jpe, be quiet you silly child [:P][lol] Emo is better than Death Metal, to people who like Emo music more than they like Death Metal.... obviously
Don't get me wrong peeps, I listen to all types of music, and enjoy listening very soft music, very mellow music etc etc. But just for the sheer impressiveness of really good Death Metal, you just HAVE to sit and listen and be impressed by it, even if you do not like the deep growl of 40 year old bloke...
...Which is why a lot of bands do instrumentals [:)] If anyone has ever heard of a Canadian Death Metal band called "Mastery", they don't even have a singer, or screamer whatever you want to call it
Edge, I sort of half agree with you, mainly because I enjoy listening to a lot of classical music as well, although, I hardly think anyone in the percussion section of an orchestra could play the drums in a death metal band...
And lasty, Jayman... "oh, i get it as opposed to seeking attention by being violent , noisy, fire on stage, and very "technicaly skilled" at making overly fast aggressive music that scares parents? ."
wtf?
Ok, firstly, my parents are what got me into death metal in the first place, so you can fook that point of yours off straight away. Secondly, what the hell is wrong with being technically skilled? thirdly, I've been to Arch Enemy gigs, twice and I saw no fire on stage and when I have seen stuff like that with other bands, it just looks cool, you seriously telling me you don't like fireworks and pyrotechnics? Lastly, are you trying to tell me that Death Metal is all about violence, and is the only type of music that has anything to do with violence, when "rappers" sing stuff like "I'm gonna shoot you ho! In the pussy!!!"
seriously man, shut up....
I love all music, not just death metal, I just think that Death Metal is the most impressive when it is done properly...
