You keep talking about taste. You've yet to give the band any respect. I 



No I don't have to give them any respect, I don't find any difference between Death or Thrash or many other Metal sub-genres (Most likely my ignorance), so why should I respect what they did?


erm because they did influence an entire genre of music. That's what I've been saying, sorry if I sound harsh but you don't seem to be reading what I'm saying.
I was talking about respecting them for what they did because their influence was huge. Unless you just don't care because you don't like it.
I honestly don't like "In the Court of the Crimson King"  that much, it's boring. However, I respect it for its influence as it pretty much created prog rock as we know and all it's influence there.

So is it clear? I was asking to respect them for the influence even if you don't like the result...if you can't do that then sorry but that's extremely closed minded.

I never said a word about Metal fans.

No, but you said every DM song was the same. Sounds like an insult to the genre to me.

Please understand me:

  1. IMO Death Metal is noise
  2. Why should I respet the inventors of a different level of noise?
I don't care about their influence, because I simply don't care for Death Metal.

As simple as that

You keep talking about taste. You've yet to give the band any respect. I don't give a frogs piss about taste, we all have our own and are entitled to it. You just seemed to disregard what Death did for metal, a huge genre. To be fair you still are, you keep going on about taste...what some of us were trying to say is the band had a huge influence on metal. Respect them for that is all, as a fan of music. There is nothing wrong with it all Ivan, but that is useless to the discussion, your personal taste has nothing to do with it. Sensitive? Erm, you are clearly not familiar with my posting style are you? LOL

How influential was Genesis on prog rock? They were big yeah but what did they do unique or innovative? Before people get into a fan storm...I like their music a lot. Just don't see them as having much real impact on prog rock, other than the fact they were a big name.

Genesis were actually very influential on prog rock.  

Just some bands: Big Big Train, The Flower Kings, IQ, Karmakanic, Marillion,  Neal Morse, Phideaux, Rush, Simon Says, Spock's Beard, Transatlantic.  A lot of those bands play symphonic prog but they are some of the most popular current prog bands.

Well OK, simple as this then:
I think you are a very close minded person, musically at least.

Sad that you can't even respect a band for its influence on a wide swath of music just because you don't like it.

Also sad that you use "without Genesis there would be no Marillion" as an argument, as if that would be a bad thing.

now Ivan is getting really angry.


Ok here goes my neutral two cents:

1. Genesis is a big influential Symphonic Prog band, but they did not create a genre
2. Death is a big influential Death Metal band, a genre they themselves created

Both are amazing.
HOWEVER, Death has a slight upper hand BECAUSE they CREATED a GENRE. Whether you like them or not, you must at least accept the fact that they were quite the creative group.

Of course that goes without saying that Genesis was creative as well, crafting some of the best music of the 70s, HOWEVER, they went with the flow, and although they did progress the sound of symphonic prog, they did not create it. The were a group of some of the best songwriters ever, but they wrote in it's most raw form the same stuff that many other bands in their era made.

Death, on the other hand, made an album and then an explosion of bands occur ed trying to be them because they were so mind-blowingly creative. Whether what they were copying was noise or not is arbitrary because they CREATED a massive subgenre of metal.

Yea.

I have gathered you are irritated, and if you wish to avenge this injustice then I invite you to advance and engage me in fisticuffs.

Lets go point by point:

1.- Close Minded:

Not close minded, I just have a different understanding of music than you, that's all, there are hundreds of genres some I like, others not, I don't consider Death Metal one of them, that's my opinion.

Taste has nothing to do, I don't like Gentle Giant neither VDGG but I respect them because IN MY OPINION they make coherent, and original music with virtuoso musicians and in the case of the second with outstanding lyrics

Now this is closed minded:

Originally posted by JJLehto JJLehto wrote:

You are making derogatory comments about the quality of Neo Prog, I clearly said that I don't say if Death Metal is good or bad because taste is subjective

2.- About Marillion.


Originally posted by Triceratopsoil Triceratopsoil wrote:

I never mentioned Marillion, I believe that with or without Genesis Marillion would had existed, the personality of Fish and talent of all the members couldn't be stopped[QUOTE=Polo] [QUOTE=Ivan_Melgar_M] 

, probably they would sound different, (because there's a Genesis influence), but they would had still existed.

My browser is giving problems, so I follow in the next post.

Iván

No, but you said every DM song was the same. Sounds like an insult to the genre to me.

I sad what I THINK about Death Metal, I also said I don't know if it's bad or good, I don't dare to do that, because taste is personal.

I took good care to say I have respect for Metal listeners

But you are making personal attacks, that's different
