They sought it with thimbles, they sought it with care; They pursued it with forks and hope; They threatened its life with a railway-share; They charmed it with smiles and soap.

Powerful double-bass drumming.

Re: Melodic Metal
You have a point! I think we are too old to understand it. I mentioned not much melody in this genre.
Our house is iinundated with metal groups, all nice people but verry driven. Strong monolog interior undertones,
This song (Ozzy) from 1970 came up last week when I was driving in my car. And is still the bes, the song that is. In fact, metal Is Birmingham.

Re: Melodic Metal
Five groups? If simultaneous then that makes him a session musician. Successful musicians can only be in two bands at a time, and then only if one is The Traveling Wilburys. He should quit four of them asap.Yes, he's the drummer (in total 5 groups!) They play on Sunday in the BIble belt, much to the chagrin of the Puritans.Faceless Entity

Musicians and their fans are a confused breed. The musicians boast about how they can write a song in three minutes on the back of a fag packet. And then their fans spend years analyzing the lyrics, which are usually just random sentences making no coherent whole but which just happen to rhyme. At least James Joyce took seven years to write his gibberish.
I’m grumpy. It’s the start of the QI Conference today and the website has got all the talk times wrong. You can’t get the staff these days. Where have all the Poles gone?

Re: Melodic Metal
That you have time to write this morning.
The Poles have left, so a vital link in the process has been removed.
Metal fans are very discriminating. Dodsrit is the band. The others are for the network.

One of the most enduring definitions of rock and roll is "bad poetry set to music."Musicians and their fans are a confused breed.

Re: Melodic Metal
On the topic of conferences, Paul: is Albert Shiryaev (who once asked me what do you think of Pushkin) attending? Bruno Dupire was about to give a talk in Lisbon but had issues with his laptop. AS came to the stage and fixed it in a jiffy.
Russians are good in fixing things. Just avoid IT support types. And check cables are connected. DOS> ping 192.1.1.1

Re: Melodic Metal
Isn’t he somewhat Russian? Did Bruno check his laptop for keystroke loggers afterwards?

So you think you'll take another piece with me
To satisfy your intellectual need
Do you want
Do you want action
Action
Action
Gonna bring you down
'Cause you've been pushing me
You've got to recognize my superiority

Re: Melodic Metal
or even this metal poety
Finished with my woman 'cause
She couldn't help me with my mind
People think I'm insane because
I am frowning all the time
All day long I think of things
But nothing seems to satisfy
Think I'll lose my mind
If I don't find something to pacify
Can you help me
Occupy my brain?
Oh yeah
I need someone to show me
The things in life that I can't find
I can't see the things that make
True happiness, I must be blind
Make a joke and I will sigh
And you will laugh and I will cry
Happiness I cannot feel
And love to me is so unreal
And so as you hear these words
Telling you now of my state
I tell you to enjoy life
I wish I could but it's too late

Re: Melodic Metal
The master for lyrics: Leonard Cohen.
Everybody knows that you love me baby
Everybody knows that you really do
Everybody knows that you've been faithful
Oh, give or take a night or two
Everybody knows you've been discreet
But there were so many people you just had to meet
Without your clothes
Everybody knows...
Suzanne takes you down to her place near the river
You can hear the boats go by, you can spend the night beside her
And you know that she's half-crazy but that's why you want to be there
And she feeds you tea and oranges that come all the way from China
And just when you mean to tell her that you have no love to give her
Then she gets you on her wavelength
And she lets the river answer that you've always been her lover
And you want to travel with her, and you want to travel blind
And then you know that she will trust you
For you've touched her perfect body with your mind
And Jesus was a sailor when he walked upon the water
And he spent a long time watching from his lonely wooden tower
And when he knew for certain only drowning men could see him
He said all men will be sailors then until the sea shall free them
But he himself was broken, long before the sky would open
Forsaken, almost human, he sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
And you want to travel with him, and you want to travel blind
And then you think maybe you'll trust him
For he's touched your perfect body with his mind
Now, Suzanne takes your hand and she leads you to the river
She's wearing rags and feathers from Salvation Army counters
And the sun pours down like honey on our lady of the harbor
And she shows you where to look among the garbage and the flowers
There are heroes in the seaweed, there are children in the morning
They are leaning out for love and they will lean that way forever
While Suzanne holds the mirror
And you want to travel with her, and you want to travel blind
And then you know that you can trust her
For she's touched your perfect body with her mind
