Drum&Bass; and why it is not music

[Zildjian311]

I must say this is the worst style techno, dance hall, house music, shit that I have ever heard

MY REASONS FOR HATING THIS CRAP:

1. Most beats....i mean crapy whirlwinds of something that sounds like someone hitting a trash can lid....... used in these terrible excuses of songs ARE NOT HUMANLY POSSIBLE TO PLAY.

2. The bass doesnt even sound like a bass..... why is it called bass again when it sounds like someone looping sounds from horror movies when something happens out of no where.

[Zildjian311]

i mean just make music with your own energy by using your hands, feet...body if you will

not by pushing buttons that loop and play the sounds for you

[Rucklo]

STFU n00b, go complaint where someone like yourself cares.
U´re one pathtic boy who knows nothing about the world.... grow up bitch.

Lets put it this way...
Everyone has something they're good at right? Some people can play guitar, drums, bass. And theres people who can make outstanding dnb or techno or trance songs.

Me, I can play guitar, drums, and piano pretty good. But I make Drum N Bass that sounds like it was professional. But i do that stuff at home. On my computer, by myself. I see that I can get farther with my music on here than music on instruments. So those are my secondary.

I was going to get a new electric guitar for xmas. But i decided i wanted turntables with mixer instead becasue i know i can get farther in life and the music buisness with that.

you fool!, the BASS part isent refering to a bass guitar, its refering to just bass, and so the hell what if nobody can play it with real drums, does that make it sound different?its not meant to sound like sombody can play it on the drums, in fact drum&bass is meant to sound completly opposite, impossible. just like any other ordered form of sound drum&bass is just as much a form of music than anything else and so what if it doesnt fit your taste. many people, including me like it as a form of music, so if it was really objectively bad as you say it was then how could people like it?, i dont care how its made or what was used, because quite simply, if it sounds good, then what the hell is the problem

[WhiteMoth]

why cant we push buttons to make music! who is it hurting, or are you amish or somthing?, and scared of electricty

if i was scared of electricity why would i be typing on a computer

and pushing buttons to make music requires no skill

sadly enough none of todays new age music is hard to play....well except for hardcore metal

people that like it dont know the meaning of the words musical talent any more therefore we get peopl like you who thinks just bc it sounds good it is hard to do

[Zildjian311]

or it is liked by people whos brains are fried and are easily amused by playing with glow sticks

ive seen them twirl glow sticks in front of their faces like it was as if it were the most amazing thing they had ever seen

A couple of things. First off, Being Lvl. 1 with no audio posts gives you little to no ground to stand on. and second, being an ng member for a little over a week doesn't help your claim either. now, you may have been coming to the AP long before that, but coming in and proclaiming that a form of art that people put some serious time and effort into is something you wouldn't even wipe your ass with is just downright rude. You have no right to insult some of the most creative minds on the net with your accusations. Either grow up or shut up. preferably both.

[WhiteMoth]

would you respect my music if i told you that i acually pressed all the buttons with my dick! would it all of a sudden sound better now? because its true, it took alot of skill, now you must like my drum&bass now right?

[Zildjian311]

I DONT CARE ABOUT MY NEW GROUNDS SHIT......FOR THE LOVE OF GOD LIFE IS NOT MEDIA

[WhiteMoth]

have you ever made drum&bass before? its just as hard to sequence beats then to hit the drums, trust me because i do both

[WhiteMoth]

acually i bet you dident know, but all DnB artists use thier dicks to press buttons, isent that respectable, it takes so much skill, so do you still hate dnb, i know that it has nothing to do with the way the music sounds, but thats why i think it is the no1 best form of music

[WhiteMoth]

do you hate music when the artist gets really good at thier instrument? because it doesnt take them much effort to play an instrument that they are good at, so it must be bad music then right?

[Rucklo]

The reason I make so good electronic music is that not only do I use the dick to press all buttons, I also use my whole scrotum, balls and all!
Yes, u can call me 1337.

[WhiteMoth]

wow i havent heard you music at all but i dont need to, i love it already!

[WhiteMoth]

maybe people shouldent listen to music, they should just tell each other how they made it, because technially we dont need to hear it to judge whether or not its good, or whether we like it, and instead of music cds, there could be recordings of the artists explaining how they did it

its not just pushing buttons. i would like to see you make some dnb that sounds half good.

nah u can just judge my music from taking a look of my enormous scrotum. Its so beautiful, and smells a little like cheese.
I like cheese.

If that's your take on DnB, you're not listening to DnB, either you're jealous or inexperienced.

Drum N Bass goes into many different forms, including DrillnBass, and it owns just about any other form of music just as much as any other form of music would own DnB.

[Dj-HoverHound]

It's your opinion I guess.. Lots of artists like it...

Exactly. Youre jealous and inexperienced. hey, im jealous too. everytime i go into the DnB page of the AP and see ParagonX9's music im so damn jealous that he has so many fans and so many good songs...but i respect him. it takes pure skill to make that music, whether you press buttons with your dick or your finger. and just because im jealous doesnt mean that im going to criticize all his music and his chosen genre like an arrogant dickhead who thinks he knows everything. my point is, we all know your jealous so stop making excuses like "DnB isnt really music" just so you say something bad at an incredible genre of music. And secondly, unless your Slash, Eddie Van Halen, Tony Iommi or any other rock god and/or music idol who actually knows what he's talking about when it comes to music...stfu.

[snoballandthmonyshot]

Yeah,
I didn't read all of the responding rants but i can imagine what they said.
I have one to add. This guy is either an idiot or closed minded to imply that music is only music if played live.
hmmm..
poor fool...get back to your paper round
(no offence)
;Ped

[Grant]

It was just the drum beats!

[Zildjian311]

why would i be jelous of any electronica artists i think its gay period

[Zildjian311]

i came to my sences. im obviosly a idiot. drum and bass owns!!!!

[Zildjian311]

im also gay.

[Erkie]

You're not smart.

[AdmiralConquistador]

Why would you come to the busiest hot dog stand in the world and tell all of the people in line for miles and miles that hot dogs are bad?

I figured that you were cool by association (Fallenprophecy) but you've made a pretty bad name for yourself on these forums. Don't state your opinions as facts... also, I don't know what kind of DNB you've heard, but a vast majority of the stuff I've heard is ridiculously easy to play on the drums, bass, keyboard, and with vocals...
