Favorite quotes from people who don't listen to music as a hobby[views:4007][posts:41]______________________________ [Jun 11,2010 8:00pm - Lamp ""] Lamp said:I hate all music that's just a bunch of screaming, I'd rather listen to something that has talent. Also, "I listen to everything except country or rap" of course. |
| ______________________________ [Jun 11,2010 8:02pm - Lamp ""] "I want to be able to hear the words, not just a bunch of yelling" |
| ______________________________________________ [Jun 11,2010 8:04pm - markworkingrichards ""] I'm a huge fan of everyone I work with trying to "growl" like a death metal vocalist, but usually it sounds like a seal dying. I'm not sure how to quote that. |
| ______________________________ [Jun 11,2010 8:08pm - Lamp ""] Hearing my boss say to me when I first started working with him: "I'll pretty much listen to anything but most music is just background noise, on my own I just listen mostly to metal like Disturbed and Mudvayne" |
| ___________________________________ [Jun 11,2010 8:09pm - DreadKill ""] "I listen to whatever's on the radio" |
| ______________________________________________ [Jun 11,2010 8:10pm - markworkingrichards ""] Yeah, REAL metal like Disturbed and Mudvayne. The day that the dude from Slipknot died, almost everyone mentioned it to me like I gave a fuck. They also accused me of listening to Rancid. Ick. |
| ______________________________ [Jun 11,2010 8:11pm - Lamp ""] Have you ever heard of this band called Slayer? I think you might like it's, it's really crazy with a bunch of screaming and really evil sounding guitar solos. |
| ___________________________________ [Jun 11,2010 8:13pm - DreadKill ""] "you're in one of those 'kill your mother, kill your father' bands, right?" |
| ______________________________ [Jun 11,2010 8:13pm - Lamp ""] There was a kid in my high school who used to call any music with screamed vocals "sacrifice music". |
| _________________________________ [Jun 11,2010 8:15pm - RustyPS ""] when I was in high school, I'd listen to The Red Chord's demo of Breed the Cancer in my car a lot with my friends, none of which listen to that stuff...they would always refer to that song as the "Dog Rape Song" |
| ___________________________________ [Jun 11,2010 8:40pm - Lich_King ""] My friends in high school were Blink 182 fans. I had some Iron Maiden on in the car and they continually mocked me because Iron Maiden wasn't even vaguely popular anymore. Also, from my mom: "I know you like all that kill-your-guts-out music" |
| _____________________________________ [Jun 11,2010 9:09pm - i_am_not_me ""] DreadKill said:"you're in one of those 'kill your mother, kill your father' bands, right?" Response: "No, no, no. It's more of a rape your mother, kill your father band." |

| ________________________________________ [Jun 11,2010 11:15pm - SteveSummoned ""] DreadKill said:"you're in one of those 'kill your mother, kill your father' bands, right?" Holy shit someone has actually said that to me before. Also I always get the "doesn't that hurt your throat?" and also "the music is good I just don't like the whole raa raa raa thing" |

| ________________________________ [Jun 12,2010 10:28am - ernie ""] "i wish they would actually use their talent for something that doesnt suck this bad" |
| __________________________________________ [Jun 12,2010 10:38am - TheRidersofDoom ""] Ah metal, so glad it will never be fully accepted. my favorite is "I like the guitars but the singing is too harsh" I also always have to tell people I listen to European Classical metal because if I say metal they think slipknot and korn, Saying European classical makes it sound fancy, and it is somewhat true as I listen to mostly European bands and most of them were brought up learning classical (most black metal bands) and not listening to ozzy and guns and roses (the former who sucks and which every nu metal band claims as their number one influence) |

| ___________________________________________ [Jun 12,2010 12:11pm - MillenialKingdom ""] "The drumming is really good but I can't stand the screaming". |

| ______________________________________ [Jun 12,2010 7:21pm - thirdknuckle ""] i used to hear this a lot: 'heavy metal'? oh, you mean like Guns & Roses? and Ozzy? |
| __________________________________ [Jun 12,2010 10:49pm - t2daeek ""] i teach/work in a music store in dartmouth and the guys i work with always give me grief by saying things like : "why do you guys need practice every week? how many different ways can you possibly play 4 chords and yell bullshit about nothing?" i tell them we generally have no chords at all and that confuses them. my father, a musician, still says "with who? that scream band?" when i tell him that i have a gig. my mother drives a school bus for new bedford voc tech and she said that she played our cd on her bus one day because she wanted to hear it and hadn't yet. her story goes that her students asked her to shut it off. she tells people "bless his heart because he puts a lot into it, but i just like my worship music... you know, music with a message." recent favorites: "why are you wasting your time playing metal? there's no money in that. you should be playing fusion" (d'oh!) "why do you people play so loud?" (to which my common response is "what do you mean, "you people?") i hate this area... the closer you get to the cape, the less people there are that like metal... that is definitely science. |
| _____________________________________________ [Jun 12,2010 10:58pm - spaldino on phone ""] I listen to way more genres of music than everyone I know and I get told that most of what I listen to is "garbage"... but they think that bands like The White Stripes are "incredible". The second I say a band like... Snow Patrol is gay they jump down my throat "omg you always have something negative to say.... all your music is unlistenable and total garbage" Most people only hear vocals and drums when they "listen" to music. Lyrics and "the beat". Its insulting to anyone that actually plays music. One thing I find funny is if you are listening to, lets say Opeth, and someone comments on how they "can't understand what he is saying" and then he switches to clean vocals and the person still hates it and begs for you to change it. Blows my mind. You can't listen to complex timings around most people. They won't understand it. People will claim to be in to classical and then you throw on Stavinsky or something and they will ask for you to put on something else because they are "not in the mood for it" (they never are by the way). Everyone's taste in music sucks. |
