Conservationist, do you have any music theory degrees?

"THIS IS WHAT I WISH METAL ACTUALLY WAS AND EVERYTHING THAT DOESN'T FIT MY STRICT MUSICAL WORLDVIEW SUCKS"

What's up with trashing music that isn't TR00? Music is music. Metal is only an attitude applied to western rock and blues influenced music (with black metal being an exception). If you have fun playing it, if people have fun listening to it, that's all that should matter. Stop pretending you're Einsteins kid and that you have a dick the size a woolly mammoths.

I know a lot of people here resent this, but melody is only a facet of musical composition. Just like rhythm, meter and timbre. Melodic complexity is easier on the ears but it is the same as rhythmic and metric complexity. Ideally all facets of composition should be sought after as a tool to express the Metal-lic ideal of musical aggression; melodic, metric and rhythmic alike. But what matters most is that in the end of everything, music is an art, and as an art, is simply a tool for the artist to communicate something. If you don't like certain routes of musical communication, so be it, but don't act like you're all high and mighty by proclaiming that the elders are always better.
