People are entitled to like what they like.

Very true but coldplay doesnt offer any creativly or musically satisfying melodys or anything. this would include riffs solos etc. i am also entitled to MY opinion to not like coldplay, theres somthing to think about. lol not trying to cause problems, im new to the forums. been playing for a month

In a "What do you think about Coldplay?" thread, I'd not only agree, but I might even add that I think they're boring beyond description.

However, in a "Who's your favorite?" thread, it only really serves to unnecessarily cause problems.

In my experience, anyway.

[SoulDistortion]

hmm, also true, touche very good mr. moderator how long have you been playing?

[Raskolnikov]

Guitar? Probably about nine years, though you'd never guess it. I only really play to entertain myself and because it sometimes helps me in my songwriting.

Bass is my primary instrument and if I sit down and play some guitar then play some bass, it's very obvious.

[Andrew Sa]

I have some varied taste:

My ultimate favourite bands are Pink Floyd and Dire Straits.

Although the bands I listen to the most are bands like:
In Flames
Nine Inch Nails
Children Of Bodom
Atreyu(also kinda screamo)
etc also quite into screamo/post hardchore stuff-like The Used, Finch, Funeral For a Friend and Coheed and Cambria.
Also love Cat Stevens and Bob Dylan, and you can forget Ian Matthews Souther Comfort.

No one could ever make a sensible post on this thread...If I was to list all of my favourite bands, I would be giving PonyOne a big challenge on the long posts thing...I cant limit it.

[SoulDistortion]

Well anyone who knows me knows that im extremley critical of music and i hand pick any band that im going to listen to or even possibly listen to. In my humble opinion godzilla impressions with a continuous open E string being played is not music. the "scremo" stuff you are talking about. Why listen to that when their is so much better out there, try going back into the 70's and 80's. Metallica is a prime example of brilliant composition as well as talent, their early stuff that is. But hey, everyone is entitled to their opinion.

Yes, but this is a "who's your favourite..." thread, so no need for the arrogance.

[SoulDistortion]

Yes, but this is a "who's your favourite..." thread, so no need for the arrogance.

The english dictionary defines "arrogant" as somone who sees themself as better than others, I dont see myself as better than somone becuase i listen to differnent music. How can you attribute the quaility of arrogance to me when you dont even know me? My self worth is not measured by how good the music i listen to is. This is about the music not me. Please stop bashing me for trying to express my opinion and give some humble advice to a fellow music listener, read that post again, and notice that i put "everyone is entitled to their opinoin" at the end. What do you think this means? :confused: :rolleyes: This signifies that i respect the interests of others and I in no way see myself superior to anyone on this forum even if they listen to britney spears. So before you going around these forums pointing fingers at people and causing problems i suggest you take a look inside yourself and try and discover what insecurities within your brain sparked you to be so blatantly insulting and downright rude. Good day mr. Akira

[macallwest]

Actually, the English dictionary defines arrogant as "aggressively assertive or presumptuous".

I wasn't bashing you, I just thought you was being a bit too assertive with your earlier comments, hence why I stated that there was no need for the arrogance in a "who's your favourite" thread.

So before you going around these forums pointing fingers at people and causing problems i suggest you take a look inside yourself and try and discover what insecurities within your brain sparked you to be so blatantly insulting and downright rude.

You have 17 posts, and yet you make it seem like you've been here long enough to make the assumption that I go around deliberatly causing problems. My earlier comment wasn't intended to spark an argument, it wasn't intended to be insulting or rude. I think if anything you are being insulting and rude by making the assertion of my earlier comment being a result of me being somehow insecure.

I hope we can just leave it at that if possible.

dude i feel the same way. most of these new bands just dont cut it. for me
any way but some people like it and thats cool too. id listen to zeppelin or
metallica over bands like coldplay or something any day
:D

[Cryptic Excretions]

If it's death metal then I like it... a lot. I can count the death metal bands I don't like on one hand and I don't even need all 5 fingers. But favorite bands as a whole I'd be sitting here naming bands all day. I have more favorite bands than the member history of Iced Earth.

[x0o_BurnOut_o0x]

I dont by any means think bands now suck. But I do agree that they cant seem to match up to the older bands. But if there werent these bands now, then music would never evolve.

[digmudvayne]

MuDvAyNe
Metallica
Jet
Three Days Grace
Shinedown

All great bands.

[Akira]

I dont by any means think bands now suck. But I do agree that they cant seem to match up to the older bands. But if there werent these bands now, then music would never evolve.

This could lead into an interesting philosophical debate.

But if the bands around now weren't around, surely there would be other bands and so music would evolve anyway, just maybe in a different direction.

[AndyP]

For what it's worth. Led Zep is one of the only bands i can keep coming back to and find new things to enjoy. Other bands will hold my attention for a while but don't have the same lasting appeal.

[srpianojrguitar]

I dont know why, but people always pick favorites, thats like pickin your favorite kid. here are my favorite bands
Led zeppelin

lynyrd skynyrd

[Fender_king]

I think personality you have to give it up to nirvana creating there own kinda of music for there generation. Also the doors and Pink Floyd the list is endless for me.

[james37]

My favourite band would have to be System of a Down. I'm not saying they're like the greatest band ever, but they're MY favourite. Theres just something that makes them different from most other bands I know.

[metallica89]

Metallica
Megadeth
Led Zeppelin
AC/DC
Korn

The Misfits
Guns N' Roses
Disturbed

Very true. However bands now just spawned off of older bands so you would have to erase all the older bands to get a differnt direction. As an example... im going to use punk because i know most about that particular genre.. Bands like Simple Plan, GC, and all that kind of pop punk, has to thank bands like Nirvana, Rancid, Green day, and that whole generation, from drawing on thier ideas. And in turn Rancid,and Green day, they all drew on thier inspirations from the punk legends- The Ramones, The Sex Pistols, The Clash, The Dead Kennedys, Anti-Flag, The New York Dolls, Black Flag, ect. ect. Its only when someone does something completely new that music could have evolved a differnt way.

[Jolly McJollyson]

Iron Maiden is my favorite band. Later, however, I'll list all the bands I like.

[CW14]

Hmmmm... lets see....

In no particular order:

Metallica
Children of Bodom
Steve Vai
Joe Satriani
Symphony X
Ozzy Osbourne
Slayer
Pantera
Pink Floyd
Led Zeppelin
SRV

[Jimmi431]

okay see most people are into the bands that have heavy guitar styles and rarely acoustic.
my favourite artists are Jack Johnson and Ben Harper. i love acoustic stuff, did listen to vai, and satriani for awhile a few years ago, but listenin to it now sounds sterile to me with no feeling or intent behind the songs, i seem to have grown away from heavy guitar for some reason, somethin i never would have thought would happen. i used to dream of playing amazing solos with sweeps and stuff but know i have nearly forgotten how to do the technical stuff i learnt and prefer to play slow solos only goin fast when i can't think of anythin else to do (unless i reckon it would sound good goin fast wich is surprisingly rare now) dunno really where im headin with this but was wonderin if anyone else has gone through this kinda thing where they have completely turned around their style of playing.


also i heared jack johnson is pretty big in america now, but here he is still pretty much unheared of (at least to people i know) but was thinkin what you guys think of his style and playin, cos i reckon its his music which made me change from wantin to solo all day to just doin more chord based stuff on acoustic. Just interested to know what people think of his music really, cos as a guitarist i think its great.
(sorry bout the change of subject there)

[aschleman]

Jack is getting pretty big over here (in the states). I've been a fan of his for about 5-6 years now. Ever since I heard a bootleg copy of "Flake" featuring Ben Harper. In fact, I'm going to see him live in August. His style is unique in the way that it's very relaxed and lazy... which reflects his persona. Like you, I'm a rare breed as well... My two favorite bands are Dave Matthews Band and Metallica. haha. I own a collection of Satch, Vai, Dream Theater, and a slew of other technical music as well... and I enjoy it. But I really love the raw emotion of an acoustic guitar. I have developed around this. My style is mostly bluesy... with a hint of shred. But I prefer to use my slower runs to my fast runs. I just like the way they sound in comparison to a fast solo.

[Jimmi431]

haha yes!!! that Flake is what got me into both Jack and Ben Harper it was that slide bit at the end that really caught me. if anyone gonna listen to it get the live version it is amazing!

I prefer to use my slower runs to my fast runs. I just like the way they sound in comparison to a fast solo.

i find this the same, i reckon its because if im gonna go for speed i will play stuff i know, basically whacking out a bunch of lazy licks that i could play standing on my head. whereas if im going slow i think about it and use more interestin ideas and actually play to the melody of the song rather than GUITAR BREAK PLAY FAST and in the right key other than that it dont matter!!!!!!!

who you gonna see, jack or Ben? Saw Ben Harper in concert last year and it was amazing really never bin to a concert that actually hit me like that one his cd's,although i love them, just do no justice to the live show and the live dvd doesn't get the same atmopshere, though to be honest ya couldn't expect it to.

[aschleman]

haha! Yeah man! But I'm going to Jack Johnson and Ben Harper w/ The Innocent Criminals. I know what you mean about cds not doing justice to live shows... that's the way it usually is though. That's why I go to a lot of concerts! It's gonna be a bad @ss show. I saw DMB just last Sunday night too. If you haven't listened to a lot of Dave Matthews stuff, I would recommend it. If you like Jack Johnson you might like DMB.

[Raskolnikov]

Ben Harper
Not to bicker because he certainly does have a lot of acoustic material, but when I saw Ben Harper a few years back, he had him some MONSTEROUS guitar tone.

I wanted to mosh to "Please Bleed," but I was afraid some hippy would beat me to death with his rasta hat.

[aschleman]

Yeah, Ben spreads out his style through lap steel, acoustic and electric. The hippies probably just would have ignored you if you tried to mosh with them... Hippies mostly just spin around in cirlces and flail their arms about in a very sparadic way... haha good ol' hippy dancers! But Jack Johnson pretty much does only acoustic stuff.

[Jimmi431]

oh man im jealous you wanna swap lives for awhile, you do my exams i go to ya gigs!! pretty fair swap if ya ask me!

Not to bicker because he certainly does have a lot of acoustic material, but when I saw Ben Harper a few years back, he had him some MONSTEROUS guitar tone.

yeah he does have that to! his albums are like compalations in someways cos there are so many styles. i know what ya mean with it making ya want to mosh, when ever any of his "harder" songs come on when im drivin it makes me want to go about 100x faster.

I wanted to mosh to "Please Bleed," but I was afraid some hippy would beat me to death with his rasta hat

haha i doubt any of the "hippies" (students really) when i went to see him would have been able to beat anyone to death, just a little bit too stoned to do anythin like that! most amount of weed i ever saw was at that concert! it seemed like everyone was smokin it. especially when "Burn one down" came on, the rastafarian bongo player took a spliff from the crowd and was smokin it doin his solo was sooo good!
