You don't really like music, do you?

Why like music, when you can have the same synthetic crap "remixed"?

Remixing synth = Dubstep, by the way, no matter how thin you slice it.

this is so wrong, I'm not even sure where to start.

Well, take your time and explain it to me.

dubstep is a sub genera of electronic music that generally has a much lower BPM and uses a lot more samples than a lot of other forms of electronic music.

kind of like how classic rock is a sub genera of rock.

(Not a damn word, Roger. lol)

And to reply to your comment on Megadeth....yeah, I know...utter crap...but I like that song anyhow. So nyah!

:lulz:

And that brings up some other tunes.

Elton John, pre-1973.  Burn Down the Mission.  Rotten Peaches.  Holiday Inn.  Madman Across the Water.

If you listen to those and don't have a reaction, you're already dead.

Post 1973 I would add "I Don't Want To Go On With You Like That"  A great piano riff in that one.

one of the things I do hate about the people who produce electronic music is their ego wont let them classify it in one of the top 10 types, they have to sub-classify it and then you get into all these superflous naming conventions for what is, essentially, just electronic music that falls under one of the top 10 or so.

Dubstep is generally considered a subgenera of down-tempo electronic music.

The problem I have with synth is exactly what RWHN brought up.  There's no emotion to it.  There's no soul.  

Every other genre of music has SOMETHING to it...

Hank Williams Sr made country music that made you feel like you were fixing to die.

Roy Orbison made early rock that made you feel like you'd just broken up with Beyonce Knowles.

Bob Seger made rock that makes you feel filthy.

Elton John made rock and/or blues that made you WANT to be filthy.

Early Metallica made rock that made you want to burn down the neighboring village.

Aerosmith could make you feel 3 different ways in one song.

More recently, P!nk and Lady Gaga make music that makes you want to die filthy.  :lol:

And yeah, P!nk and Lady Gaga use the hell out of synthesizers.  But that's not all they're about.

Metallica is good! So is Aerosmith.

Lady Gaga I'm not so sure about but... each to their own I guess

All of his stuff uses loads of piano.  It was his instrument.  He's arguably one of the top 3 pianists of the 20th century.

I agree with all of the above.  

You should check out that link I posted back on the last page, I think you'll agree that it's music, even if it needed a sequencer to finish it, since he played all of the instruments himself.

still classified as electronic music.

Check this out:  

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=at4bUxSiU04

his voice is pretty fuckin annoying, but the guy on the synthesizer at 1:18 is tearing it up.

because it's a piano sound from an electronic instrument, this would not classify as a musician to you Howl.

I have to respectfully disagree.
