How can 80s kids like mustaine, Hetfield and others make such complex and good music that requires years of study to master just smoking, drinking and using drugs?It makes no sense.
you're supposed to strum with your dominant hand and fret with your other hand, Mark, it's not actually that hard, also stop using the word faggot in your songs
>>129886042Genius
>>129886025They grew up in th 70s and there was literally nothing better to do with their time than play guitar is my guess
>>129886025it takes maybe a year or two of playing to be able to play that kinda stuff
>>129886260But I mean composing this stuff: making something out of nothing. It takes musical theory knowledge but they just magically did it.
>>129886282composing is easy, you just play and if something is cool you just add on to it and next thing you know you have a fun thrash song
>>129886282post the metal album that is written in anything other than diatonic or chromatic like you learn in middle school, and post the metal band that are actual musicians who can improvise around their compositions and don't just learn their parts rote like a retard
>>129886318>and don't just learn their parts rote like a retardthis is one of the main things about metal that is kinda lame to me compared to something like the great 70s rock bands. someone like led zeppelin or rolling stones or allman brothers band where they never play the same song the same way twice, all solos are basically improvised each time and there was this awesome sense of spontaneity where they could go into a jam or medley at any moment or you were about to hear a 10 minute guitar solomost metal people can't do anything like that
>>129886025They had no video games, no social media and cable TV was shit.Kids couldn't afford booze or drugs every day, and all you could do was listen to your favorite records and play your guitar.
>>129886389and there was no tabs or youtube or anything. if you wanted to learn a song you had to literally just listen to it and figure it out by ear. helped tremendously with training the ear and learning the instrumentnowadays kids just look up tabs and copy them
coke and speed make you more studious and productive
>>129886025They went to conservatories and those are all gone now.
>>129886668implying Hetfield could get into Berkleethey turned him away for being too ugly
>>129886025They didn’t have vidya back then and TV had like 6 channels tops so autistically practicing guitar was just one of the most entertaining things available They already had serious skills before all the drinking and drugs started
these guys grew up listening to and looking up to people like Ted Nugent and Joe Perry. Today's "metal" musician zoomers grew up listening to rap and Simple Plan, they are gay and civil war reenactment tier, not cool, can't shred. Sorry you grew up in a gay world playing gay ass video games like Sonic Adventure, you'll never shred and your metal sucks
>>129886318>anything other than diatonic or chromaticMicrotonal?
>>129886706Cliff was classically trained and taught them the skills
>>129886409>and there was no tabs or youtube or anything. if you wanted to learn a song you had to literally just listen to it and figure it out by ear. helped tremendously with training the ear and learning the instrument>nowadays kids just look up tabs and copy them'hol up there. popular music had always had sheet music books.
>>129887350>dies in a fender bender where everyone else is completely unharmedtoo bad he was kind of a pussy. guess being 'classically trained' was a dead giveaway
>>129886360The Eagles were the first band to just play everything live exactly like the records.
>>129886706wasn't hetfield going to be an architectural engineer or some shit if music didn't work out
and fuck Cuckgau for saying rock groups shouldn't jam because it would never be as good as jazz improv
>>129886360i'd seen Paramore live once; they were tight but just played everything like the records
>>129887359Rock sheet music sucked back then.Songs were arranged for piano in the wrong key, and the chords were all over the place.
>>129887391Lynyrd Skynyrd did it too. Al Kooper mentioned it in some interview.
>>129887391Eagles are shit
>>129886025You don't understand music as well as you think you do
