i try my hardest to listen to the sound of the bass It became a habit because like a lot of people i talk to music with or just what people say on the internet they always say like how the bassiest is the core of a band without it you cant have a band and i can never hear it. And being insecure i started after that trying to listen only to the bass in like all the songs. | ||

It took me such a long time to be able to pick the bass out of metal songs... ): And didn't you tell me Opeth was one of your favorite bands?? | ||

Actually, I recall having a discussion with you, JohnColtrane, about why Opeth was rather mediocre sometime last year...haha. I think it was on a blog I put up after seeing them live. | ||

I hear its popular to say this these days, but I dont really understand why, a lot of their compositions are insane, and before someone starts talking about John Petrucci and Dream Theater, sure the guy knows how to play, but the music sounds like an endless stream of piss to me. Its all personal opinions though. | ||

Of course, people like to claim that they know much about music...when they really don't. That is more annoying, but forgivable. What is truly annoying is when they take a rubbish piece of music (really most non-classical stuff falls under this category unfortunately) and assume stubborn and entirely misguided elitism -- that their trash is less rubbish than other trash. Another thing that is annoying: when someone claims that everything is subjective and there is no good music or bad music, just different musical tastes. How laughable. | ||

Oh god by all means Opeth is much better than Dream Theater, but I really don't think Opeth is some kind of band from the heavens like a lot of Opeth fans seem to think.
