Yes, that too.
The Girl/World rhyme is annoying because the context of it is usually really cheesy (Just a small town girl/ Living in her lonely world!). Fire/Desire is also overused but I'm more forgiving of that rhyme because I like the imagery it invokes and many songs I like use that rhyme.
I actually like the bagpipes. My mom's from Scotland, and I've been over there a few times, so I got to hear them. They're a cool instrument, and they'd complement rock music perfectly. For example, 99 Red Balloons on bagpipes.
Fucking flamethrowing bagpipes.
How many instruments can be played while they're shooting flames? How fucking rock is that?
This is cool, too.
This is pretty much the kind of thing I want to see more of. Bagpipes added to rock music. Most of what I've been finding on You Tube seems to be instrumental.
Twentington: You described your perception of all metal as sounding like:
"ARRRARARAHRAHRARHARAHRARHARAHRRRRRARHGH FUCKETY FUCK FUCK FUCKING FUCK FUCK OF FUCKINGNESS"

"I thought Djent was just a band" -Physical StaminaAlso, this isn't the best way to put this, but loud and repetitive noises in music. I don't know how to better express it, but that plus my previous pet peeves makes me rather averse to what I've listened to of House music.
Deep into that darkness, peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing, doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before.
What kind of House music have you listened to?
Here's a beautiful sounding example of House music, btw.

Sampling the part of a song where the Title Drop happens and then naming your song something completely different sorta bothers me. It's like, they're singing the title of their song... but it's not the title of your song. It's kinda weird, if you ask me.
Do not spare the feelings of those who would not spare yours.
I'm just wondering, out of all the metal songs out there, why is it that have you heard Nightwish's "Wish I Had an Angel" and seem to fixate on that song as a representation of the genre as a whole? I've listen to a fair amount of metal and I hadn't heard that song before you brought it up in the other thread a while back.
It was the one that like, four different people have told me is "good metal", easy to get into, not too harsh, etc. etc.
And I've tried other metal too. I can't recall any titles offhand, but even the "softer" stuff just sounds so… pissed-off and grating and unbearable to me. Where's the joy in listening to it?!

It's not like people who listen to metal listen to it to make themselves feel unhappy.
There is plenty to it beyond the vocal style as well, but if you are completely put off by the vocals of even not 'growly' metal, then you can't really try to find enjoyment in it. Each to his own I guess.
EDIT: What's a Melisma?

"I thought Djent was just a band" -Physical StaminaComedy songs that sound like comedy songs. For example, this one.
As soon as it starts, you can tell it's a comedy song. It couldn't be anything else. No effort was put into making it a song that could stand on its own merits apart from the lyrics. All they did was come up with a joke and then strummed their guitars. Compare that to Tribute.
That song works as a song. Change the lyrics, and it's still a reasonably well-crafted song.
If you're going to be a musical comedy group, then make sure to put as much focus on the "musical" part as the "comedy" part. Otherwise, just do normal comedy, without the music.
