Omg you are still being a dick. Ok fine let me address some of the mistakes you made in your previous post you moron
Well, there goes your moral standpoint again.

Good game there faile, you go to show how desperate you are to pull mistakes from whatever I say. Hell if you got this much time on your hand you must be pretty desperate for attention to keep coming back with such detailed ignorance.
It's less a willingness to show up your mistakes and more a desire for people to use correct spelling and things. Just the way I am. Am I desperate for attention? I'm not the one who's refusing to let this drop so much that his two previous claims of having done so have run now to nothing.

And once again you go out and attack someone elses musical tastes. Faile I don't understand you. You like one commercially successful band and slam another. You make no freaking sense. Plus you can't say something like the Pumpkins is that much better. Its all a matter of preference. Learn to freaking accept the fact people have different tastes. Just because someone's band happens to be popular and sells more than your music, doesn't make it worse. It would be much more respectful if you didn't post anything to it. Hell I didn't go outta my way to attack you and you know it and same goes for anyone else in this thread.
Where have I attacked somebody else's musical tastes? I've not done this AT ALL. Sir, my opinion is not all important. It's just my opinion.
This isn't about how well the music sells, it's about me not liking the Artic Monkeys in relation to how many times we, in England, were told that they are the best thing ever. I believe I mentioned that before? If I didn't like commercially succesful music why would I have posted a Pumpkins song? They're one of the biggest selling bands of the last twenty years. Think on.

And yes on this one I admit that I did participate in a lot of conflicts, but very few I have started that much I am sure of. And don't go off claiming you know more than me Faile. As far as I'm concerned your in the same boat as me as far as knowledge, atleast in your area. Just because you work in retail doesn't make you any better than the average person. And just to mention I due have extensive knowledge in music. I've been currently studying under someone in music theory and producing and I do know what goes into it "Espically when it comes technical skill." Hell I'll probably be attending Berklee School Of Music next year cause of my creditials.
And Kudos to you for doing so. But again, for the third time now, I'm going to tell you that the most amazingly skilled music in the world won't mean a thing to me unless it moves me.

Well heres the thing. You do it in such an insulting way that everyone hates you for it. If you had just a tad bit more respect maybe we wouldn't mind as much. But the fact that you come across as such an arrogant *******, well we get a little upset. And hell I don't know where you get off on saying that we need to justify ours responses. I think your the one that needs to work on that a little better.
I don't think I'm insulting anybody, given the relative context of some posts here and I hardly think that what, two of you? three of you? can constitute "everyone".
I've been saying all along that you don't need to justify your opinions too, like I don't feel I have to justify mine, past it being my opinion. If you had been paying attention, you might have noticed it was theme in my previous posts. Arrogance, again, is relative. Maybe I am. Maybe I deserve to be, finally. Just don't think that there aren't people I respect an enormous amount on this board, and indeed off it. There are.

So I'm curious, you slammed my vid but yet you seem to give a little credit to TA "Technical Ability." Why couldn't you just have said that you didn't like the style but the guy has an amazing voice? You know that would have cut down on a whole lot of crap. I for one would've of respected it. But instead you say its a display of music people should stay away from. Seriously man you seem to put yourself in these situations. Calm down and take the time to think before you type. I see no problem with you not liking something but please post it in a respectful and constructive matter.
I believe I made my point. Technical ability is all fine and dandy, but it doesn't (for me personally, before anyone shouts again) make it necessarily brilliant music. Wagner was an amazing musical mind, but who here has ever wanted to listen to the whole of the Ring. As Rossini said of Wagner; "Excellent moments and terrible quarters of an hour". That sums up what I think of an awful lot. Certainly I can hear, say Dream Theatre, and think 'Ooh, that's amazing ability', but I won't think how much it moves me or challenges me. I've been in a band with the biggest Dream Theatre fan in the world, and whilst he disagreed with me, he respected my opinion on the matter, as should you.



Anything to add?
