But yes, I did make a typo. My birthday is actually on 11/13/91, so I just turned 18, lol. quote |

wow. if someone liking the music that four Welsh guys create is enough to cause that kind of emotion, i think you should seek counseling or rethink your life a little.
and i'd still love to hear at least one reason |
It's nothing to do with their nationality, it's all to do with the fact that so many people actually like that whiny, generic bullshit rather than all the genuinely incredible metal out there.

which i guess is code for "I don't actually have any reasons" |
It's actually code for "people who like BFMV make me feel a hundred years old, world weary as fuck and subsequently too fucking apathetic to list reasons."

Dream Pin wrote on Oct 28th, 2009 3:01pmIf you have to ask why BFMV suck, you won't take any of the numerous criticisms I could level at them in the fucking slightest.
And NIN are of huge cultural significance because Trent Reznor brought harsh, angry electronic music to the mainstream. The fact that an album as disgustingly heavy and harsh on the ears as The Downward Spiral made it so huge is pretty amazing in itself.
Trent was also at the forefront of the use of computers as a creative tool.
Look at it this way.
Just as In Flames and their ilk influenced (eg, provided material for shit metalcore bands to rip off) bands such as your beloved BFMV, and bands like Korn paved the way for the next 5 years or so of music, Nine Inch Nails defined and entire generation without losing artistic integrity.
I'm not commanding you to become a fan but to deny NIN's influence on modern music is batshit fucking insane. quote |
__Ronnie__ wrote on Oct 20th, 2009 9:42pmDude I saw your thread on marching bands and noticed you go to South Fayette high school. That's really cool. I'm from Pittsburgh and I go to Shaler (haha laugh at me) which is just north of the city, along the Allegheny river. I play bass in jazz band and we went to a jazz festival at your school last year and your school is so sweet. The building was absolutely beautiful. In Shaler I play a shitty 20 year old Fender bass amp that's breaking down but when I went to South Fayette you guys had a stack with a Carvin Cabinet and a nice G-K Head. Haha Just thought I'd share. quote |
Dream Pin wrote on Oct 14th, 2009 12:04pmNIN are of HUGE cultural significance. They're one of the bands that helped truly shape the era we grew up in. We could do without them? Haha Jesus...
I wouldn't expect anything less of someone who lists BFMV, Senses Fail and fucking Atreyu as favourites, though. quote |

Dream Pin wrote on Sep 9th, 2009 12:55pmI'm gonna offer another side to the "computer are instruments" argument.
When an album is recorded, it has to be mixed, and nowadays a lot of people mix digitally (in the box with cubase, nuendo, protools, whatever DAW of their choice,) and the mix engineer has an unprecedented amount of ARTISTIC control.
Get two people to mix the same track and it WILL end up sounding totally, totally different. Get the same person to mix a track twice and ask him for totally different atmospheres and feels between the two mixes and he'll be able to supply it.
Mixing is just as much of a creative process, and using a computer to do this makes it just as much of an instrument.
Also, just take a look at Nine Inch Nails. Without computers we wouldn't have The Downward Spiral or The Fragile, two of the finest popular albums ever released. Then there's Meshuggah who wrote Catch 33 by programming drums and then writing guitar parts afterwards and mixed it all via computer, leading to a very specific sound and atmosphere. quote |
