Taylor Swift’s Popularity Is A Sign Of Societal Decline

[durangodawood]

That's what I thought. Some musicians spent their entire careers making personal songs. Where better to find inspiration than to look inward and write about a failed romance or a personal experience?

I'm fine with "me music". Its some of my favorite.

But I agree with "the rise of..." because its starting to eclipse everything else, mainly in pop.

Just stating my opinion as others have here.

Sure, but I asked how you arrived at the opinion that TS is a witch?

Well I miss Neil Peart and all his wonderfully heady lyrics....

Nice. He's my original drum hero, who got me into the instrument. Lots of his lyrics are really great too - with a wide range of topics explored, some of it quite personal/biographical, lots of it observational and philosophical - as you know.

What do you think of Danny Carey:

How do you know this?

Well, she turned me into a newt!

Hopefully you got better!

Yes, he is very good....but I am partial to Peart! My daughter loves anything Maynard. He has a winery here in Arizona.

Oh, I wasn't pitting one against the other. I do like Neil. I find myself admiring heavy metal drummers these days ... particularly if they can manage both speed and precision. (Of course, without precision, what's the point.) Mario Duplantier from Gojira is good example.

Edit: *wasn't

Interesting....It certainly does have a similar sound to System of a Down.

It's metalcore. IDK what SOAD is. They are kinda their own thing. This is Christian, unlike SOAD.

Great drummer; very lost soul though.

She's a witch literally. I can't stand her music. Look up Anton LaVey & his daughter Zeena. Gross!

I can't believe posters expect readers to take things like this seriously.

You mean the group who can not name the 3 branches of government.

You mean Republican Senators?

Sen.-elect Tommy Tuberville botches history facts, including three branches of government

Tommy Tuberville botched several basic historical facts in an interview, such as misidentifying the three branches of government.

See Poe's law!

Poe created it because of things on this site, and it has only gotten more true as time went by.

What do you think of Danny Carey:

I have a lot of respect because he's very precise and powerful, with some thoughtful parts. But I feel like Im the only person in the world who isnt thrilled by Tool. To me they have a plodding vibe.

You mentioned Duplantier and I like him a lot. For heavy drumming Brad Wilk from Rage is one of my favorites. Not complex, but the feel and sound is spot on.

You should check out this band. They have been described as like "early Metallica with heavier drumming." They have a female-fronted vocalist. They are not likely to put out any more music, but still are still technically "active." This song is one of if not my absolute favorite closing to an album. The band is Adorned in Ash

I am no republican, so if this person's voters are ignorant enough to elect him. That is on them, i quit playing the politics game awhile back and have no crooks i want to vote for.

Thats pretty alright. For me they are missing harmonic interest. The chord changes and the chord forms are kind of ho-hum. The execution is nice. And thats a gal singing? Thats kind of impressive.

 

[durangodawood]

Ive been into this record recently. Its terrific top to bottom. And sounds amazing. They recorded it at Abbey Road Studio 2 apparently. This one takes a little time to get into its massive riffs.

All I have to say to those posting videos in this thread, thanks for not posting Taylor Swift ones! LOL
