The Official Rock Thread

[redsforlife]

mikael, no one's ever going to accept this stuff as music eventhough the musicianship by the majority of these bands are better than anything they listen too. we're never going to go to the normal bland rock thread, there needs to be a thread with some more edge to it anyway.

metal from the land of samba, SEPULTURA :rockit:

stop taking business away from the rock thread  :cursing:

although this doesn't really qualify as rock

(or music IMHO)  but to each his own....I respect the intrumental abilities of these people especially the guitarists and drummers

So, what qualifies as music in your opinion?  Talking(rapping) set to unoriginal drum sets?  :popcorn:
As I told you before, lots of those artists have graduated from music schools, unlike the rappers but let's not go offtopic.

when did I ever say they aren't good musicians...read my post more carefully...

and I don't like rap, I like classic rock and prog rock. Prog rock has the most instrumental sophistication of any genre. Bands like Gentle Giant have done instrumentals using more than 40 different instruments

mikael we were discussing rock a while back...you don't remember  :down:

4e!!! what happened? our awesome thread, its been moved to bland rock thread. what is this world coming to?

Oh please... It deserves to have a separate thread! The only thing those have in common is the instruments. Every freestyle video deserves a separate thread, why not make one for a single genre!?  :dontknow: Oh make a music section, where we can discuss it.

u2 is coming out with a new album in 2009  :rockit:

also does anybody listen to psychedelic rock?

[a;sdlfkjas;df]

Oh please... It deserves to have a separate thread! The only thing those have in common is the instruments..

thankfully, rock is a very broad genre

Every freestyle video deserves a separate thread, why not make one for a single genre!?  :dontknow:

nothing personal, it's a numbers thing.  traffic on freestyle board > general chat

Oh make a music section, where we can discuss it

that's not an awful idea, but it would take too much away from the general chat section

[TheGodEmperor]

yeah metal and all of its sub-genres, hardcore, posthardcore, etc, all fall under that category of rock

[redsforlife]

i agree with 4e. we desperately need a music section. rock is too broad of a genre to have just one thread. most of us look at the rock section looking for completely different styles of rock. we need at least something to separate classic rock, modern rock, alt rock, and hardcore/metal.  if it wasn't for 4e's thread i would have never looked at the rock section, because the majority of the stuff i would never care for. please consider it. we need this.

[a;sdlfkjas;df]

again, i just don't think that there's enough traffic to go around.  i think that there would be too much similar conversation spread too thin

however, i'm not the only member of the forum.  post your request in the forum suggestion thread pinned in the general chat section

true
it are all different genres. one might listen to mikael/emo's stuff but hate normal rock and  the other way around. with rapthread it's all the same. it's like putting all genres that have a piano together. so you get classic music and also powermetal in one thread. that's the same story
