As for U.S, well. Where do I begin?
There's some incredibly amusing lines in your above post that I guess you picked straight from the big book of arguing on the internet: "[insert name here]. do [x]. get/stick your [y] from/into your [z]. I am right because of [insert some weak and often quite mystifying self-validating comment here]. Again, you go off on some hyperbole about how impressive this video clip is and how we'll all bow down to your clear superior musical knowledge, and when somebody says that it's not to their tastes, you come back with more hyperbole and leave us with safe in the knowledge that we're being educated.
Well, here's a fact for you. We don't care! Time and time again on this board you've made out that you're this great musical expert, but you don't walk it like you talk it. Whilst you were posting your nonsense I was on stage with my band for the third time in a week, yet have you seen me mention it before? No! Mainly because as soon as I talk about my band on this forum, god forbid, I get the self appointed musical expert down my back. So after the studio time that is booked up for this month, will I post the tracks up here? No, because I quite frankly have no need for your pointless and unconstructive criticism. However, as you're quite the expert and leave the rest of us here in the shade, perhaps you'll share something of your own, finally. You need to learn, kid, that music is about a lot more than ability. It's about passion and wanting to do something. It's about beauty and noise and mistakes and if you're just looking it with critical, vain little eyes, you'll never enjoy it as much as you could.

Wow. I didn't read that particular post until now.
First of all, any comments against you started after your random negative remarks against the vids others posted. You didn't even offer constructive criticism.
Second of all, it may just be me, but I wasn't the slightest bit offended by Sasuke droppin a lil musical knowledge on us. In fact, I was excited since I live to discuss that type of thing. Nobody here is personally attacking you and your hard work put into your music, yet you act like Sasuke hit a soft spot. Whatever insecurities he brought up by simply mentioning the vocal power of this musician he admires and talking about octave ranges need to be let go, man. While I agree with you that musicianship has more aspects than ability, most dedicated musicians are able to recognize ability in eachothers' compositions and the fact that ability is the key to opening new doors in what you create as a musician. If your attitude is to get offended everytime you hear a musician with great technical ability getting noticed instead of you, then you should lose that attitude quick.
Honestly, my hope is that when you hear other musicians that may be more advanced or more knowledgable than you at something, you will have a fire start to burn in your belly to step up your game. You need to be humble and learn from competition and when you prove yourself by demonstrating your newfound songwriting abilities you can truly be proud of yourself.
