[QUOTE="The_Rooster:889739"][QUOTE="olschool:889676"]no one gets Cynic. they have their DIE HARD understanders and i read that 90% of their fans are musicians so... i guess if you play an instrument you'd get these guys. but i don't.[/QUOTE] See, I hate this type of attitude. Such a pompous and lame fucking thing to think. It's also one of the many reasons I hate bands like this... Because some of their fans feel like they are at a higher level of musicality and understanding than us lowly "regular metal dudes", because they "get" Cynic, or Dream Theatre, or Opeth, or Steve Vai, or.... It's the type of drivel that appeals Guitar Center employees and the dudes that post the "watch how sweet my shreddzzz are" videos on Youtube. Jazz fanatics can be like this too. I may not understand everything that's happening harmonically, or rhythmically when I listen to "Bitches Brew" or "Kind of Blue", but I know I like it, and I know why I like it. I play an instrument, but I don't relate to that shit at all. Metal is, IMO, supposed to be heavy and aggressive, not filled with vocal synth harmonizers, and solos that sound like Pat Metheny's throw-aways. Obviously, people are entitled to listen to, and enjoy whatever bands they want, but when that enjoyment is accompanied by the attitude that a person has reached a higher level of consciousness that enables them to understand the music better than we common folk, I get irritated. IMO, bands like Cynic talk an awful lot, but don't really say anything meaningful. To each his own I guess. I listen to plenty of stuff that you guys would make fun of me for.[/QUOTE]
