No, I mean half of them flat-out don't know how to handle their instruments properly, and even the ones who do are still using them to make art that is lazy, adolescent and derivative.
The production-value stuff I totally understand and wholly dig, and that's not why I lack respect for their music.
- craigsmansion 8y ago> half of them flat-out don't know how to handle their instruments properly I'd venture to say that's in the eye of the beholder. A highly skilled, say, progressive rock guitarist could reasonably claim all of them don't know how to handle their instruments. > lazy, adolescent and derivative. I wouldn't discount any argument that would claim this is true for all metal. In a way, that's part of its appeal.
