This headline sucks. I'm so alone in here.

It clearly says people were trying to crash the concert in the article subby, why oh why did you have to write such a shiatty article? It's not even remotely funny!

I mean headline, not article. I'll stop talking to myself now.

I think the headline is hilarious. But I'm only 77% sure.

...Takes out guitar

Fm, E, Fm, E

Hmmmmm...Didn't sound like any Metallica song I've heard, but it's like 4:30AM here and I only strummed my acoustic VERY lightly so as not to wake up the spouse. Plus, the only Metallica I really know comes from Weird Al polka covers.

I'll fire up the amp later on, throw in some heavy distortion, and try it again. That's regular old Fm with the barre, right? We're not talking some kind of drop-tuned cheater chord, are we?

Subby is obviously not a fan of thrash metal, which is fine, but it begs the question:

They do have quite a few songs that do that, but shoehorning it into a headline about a riot doesn't work at all.
"Monkey escapes from zoo; sometimes they eat bananas."

turntable slave: Subby is obviously not a fan of thrash metal, which is fine, but it begs the question:

Not subby, but Metallica is pop thrash. Dark Angel or Coroner are real manly thrash.

For some people, metal is about 3 bands deep (Metallica, Megadeth and Slayer).

It's almost like a rite of spring.

The music headlines here on FARK just keep getting worse as each day passes. The trolling has gotten really old.

Let me just pop in to voice my support of the general consensus that the headline sucks, and subby's mom blows goats in Tijuana.

Metallica have never used the Fm chord. Nice try though.

F major to E minor, maybe ... but never the other way around.

You're late for Introduction to Music Theory, tardmitter.

Patterson: For some people, metal is about 3 bands deep (Metallica, Megadeth and Slayer).

I call BS. Needs more Anthrax.

Of all of their songs that I've played, I can't remember a single one that uses Fm. Hell I can't recall one that uses a barre chord.

Marla Singer's Laundry: Renegade Pancake: F major to E minor, maybe ... but never the other way around.

True. The harmonized Phrygian mode yields F major and E minor as its i and bII chord, but they don't have any songs/riffs in E phrygian where this occurs...it's all open fifths. Would it destroy us as a nation to learn the most basic music theory? I mean, come on. It would take about 3 months to learn this baby stuff.

Music programs are the first to get cut in cash-strapped school districts, but even that wouldn't have helped this discussion... Because, the music theory you just applied, ie a greek mode it's chords, goes well beyond any course I ever took in highschool (and I took most of them) or even the intro to music courses in college. THAT's the sad part: what education they do give you is watered down.

/I prefer ascending melodic minor and it's modes.
//less perfect 5ths's ftw!

Ye gods what an awful headline.

They have numerous songs where they'll switch an E minor-based riff to F# minor. Maybe that's what you meant? Even so, cripes.

Well umm....I can't play it cause the dots are missing (new window)

Thank you.

Do you think Testament should be included in that crowd, or am I overstepping my bounds?

Dunno about Testament. W.A.S.P., maybe?

Marla Singer's Laundry: that's not what "begs the question" means.

Yes. God that expression grates when used in the colloquial sense.

Has anybody mentioned that Fm E doesn't make any sense?

C Am F G E, yes. F#5 C#m B A E, yes. F5 E5, yes. Fm E? No.

I assume the stupid tag is for the headline?

H31N0US: Has anybody mentioned that Fm E doesn't make any sense?

C Am F G E, yes. F#5 C#m B A E, yes. F5 E5, yes. Fm E? No.

Ok, I'll bite. You are familiar with the fact that metal does stray from classic progressions?

Either that or you are not familiar with modern music, "power" chords, and how people use them ad nausem in metal. Or you're a troll.

turntable slave: Subby is obviously not a fan of thrash metal, which is fine, but it begs the question:

Lol, Metalica and thrash metal, not since the 80's bub.

H31N0US: Has anybody mentioned that Fm E doesn't make any sense?

C Am F G E, yes. F#5 C#m B A E, yes. F5 E5, yes. Fm E? No.

Call it leaning towards chromatic and call it a day :)

Music would be awfully boring if all the "rules" were adhered to strictly.

kab: Music would be awfully boring if all the "rules" were adhered to strictly.



Elliott Carter agrees.

TexanBoy: Or you're a troll.

If there is a Metallica song that uses Fm E repeatedly, I am unaware of it. Then again, I haven't listened to anything they've done since AJFA except the bottom of the ninth at Yankee games.

kab: Music would be awfully boring if all the "rules" were adhered to strictly.

I think the "rules" were what makes the difference between music and arbitrary noise.

Sure, all it takes is for somebody to hold up a sign saying "Play Holy Wars" and everybody farking loses it. Way to go, heckler-dude.

eudemonist: Dunno about Testament. W.A.S.P., maybe?

Despite being awesome, W.A.S.P. is not thrash, so no.

bingo the psych-o: Elliott Carter agrees.

Awesome, he's a great composer.

As for the incident in the article, fark people who try to break in to shows without tickets, they just make it worse for everyone by causing more cops to be around.

H31N0US: kab: Music would be awfully boring if all the "rules" were adhered to strictly.

I think the "rules" were what makes the difference between music and arbitrary noise.

I just wrote a big rant arguing semantics, and how I didn't say anything about Metallica's compositions in particular. And then I saw this post.

You're a troll. Any other explanation would be unpossible, seeing as how you're not a jazz musician. They wouldn't play through a 50w tube Marshall.

Stop it.

DISAGREES WHIST PINCHING INVISIBLE NIPPLES

whist = whilst

anyway you get the point (new window)

Is it still cool to hate on genuinely talented bands just because they're mainstream?

hovis: Is it still cool to hate on genuinely talented bands just because they're mainstream?

I'm not sure what your question has to do with Metallica.

hovis: Is it still cool to hate on genuinely talented bands just because they're mainstream?

Is it cool to assume bands are genuinely talented just because they're mainstream?

/I don't prefer Kill Em' All to Death Magnetic because the band was less popular back then, but because it's friggin' better.

A cutting wit, a lady libertine, and music theory.

Gonna leave this here for you all.

Music that sounds good to people, sounds good to them.

Music that doesn't sound good to people, doesn't sound good to them.

Douches who pretend they can't enjoy anything but choreographed cacophony that sounds like two random Rush songs spliced at every 5th note, played backwards at 5x speed, performed by bands whose names and song titles are carefully extracted from only the most obscure and/or unpopular mythologies, medical texts, or pareidolia-formed letter strings that pass for words caused by staring too long at Giger paintings, who experiment with chords the way overzealous singers pack 15 tones into a single word of the Star-Spangled Banner, and of whom I've never heard of because I'm not enough, are douches.

Yep. I like all genres of metal music including "Hair".

no mention of Rage Against the Machine, and how an embarrassingly large amount of Tom Morello's riffs are in F#m and revolve around E/F# interplay?

Not really. This guy is an idiotic douchebag.
