the difference between someone being gay and something being gay is massive. its not pc but thats the way it is. saying its gay doesnt mean its homosexual, it means its bad. and saying something is bad doesnt mean being gay is bad... make ANY sense?

nope

when i was 14 my mates were into mc hammer while i listened to pills thrills and bellyaches

just never went the metallica route

Now Blur!!
That is music a 6 year old COULD play!

dawson99 wrote:ok, firstly, song 2 is one of the greatest songs written,. used around the world, now, some good complex blur you want? (compared to der der der der der enter sandman hehe)

im sorry, but blur, listen to them,. from 1991s shes so high and theres no other way. 93s chemical world colin zeal and chemical world. 94 had girls and boys, this is a low, parklife and lot 105. next year we had country house. a poor song? listen to the lyrics, kicked quoasis's a$$, then theres the genius of the universal. 97 did have song 2, also beetlebum and on your own. i could go on and on, maybe talk about coxons solo work or the gorillaz... but blur change with the times, progress, get better.
stick with your great metallica lyrics and oooh so complex prog rock. i'll stick with real music with real meaning and something you dont actually wanna slit your wrists too.

blur gave us gorillaz, metallica just gave us emo. thats fact people

As I've said, mate, Metallica are not your cup of tea and that's fine.  I'm not trying to convince you to like their music because I recognize that metal does not appeal to a lot of people.  What I am doing, though, is taking issue with your off-handed suggestion that Metallica's music is so basic that a 6 year old could play it.  That's just complete bollox because anyone who knows anything about playing guitar, bass or drums should be able to acknowledge that--like it or hate it--it's challenging music to play.

Deep down you know I'm right because you're working very hard to change the terrain of the debate to musical influence, lyrical greatness etc.  But that's a whole other discussion.  For the record, I don't dislike Blur at all...they've got some quality songs.  But I'd bet my house on the fact that a six year old could pick up a guitar and learn Blur's most complex song years before he/she could manage even one of Metallica's more moderately challenging riffs.  Now that's FACT.

dawson99 wrote:will disagree, but that stems more from the oasis arguament. blur are often ridiculed for basic guitar due to songs like girls and boys and parklife. its more often the bsides that show the compexity (coxon playing guitars upside down, back to front, anything to get that diffrent sound)
to be honest i know nothing of metallica apart frmo enter sandman. the guys just not my style, you're right, but i dont think they are as good as people on here think.
id find some blur to prove this, but im lazy so you gota take my word, and its probably from my shoe gazing days that i dont like stadium rock (another sly dig i know)
maybe metallica at the most basic level play very complex, but blur at the most complex level play very basic? a mixture of stles and alot mroe instruments being used in all different ways.

All I know is that when I first picked up the guitar in Uni, I could play the likes of "Song 2" within weeks but it took me the better part of my third year to manage a passable version of the rhythm guitar parts of "For Whom the Bell Tolls" so that my metal-head roommate could play the solo stuff over top!

(now im just being stupid)
