Hmm obviously not read about their new album, based on the same formula for puppets... THE SOLOS ARE BACK! So I stand by it being harder than indie ;)

they both suffer from the same problem. 75% of metal+indie bands sound the same. there's no point in arguing about it, you know i'm right :D
but that doesnt mean that once is better than the other, i personally prefer indie, but i can appriciate the hard work and skill that goes into metal.
although i must admit, even i could probably learn an indie track, and i can barely read tabs :D

I almost always agree with you :P The reason I suggested children of bodom is because they are like a crossbreed of all different metal genres, plus they have an amazing keyboardist :P

God that phrase makes my blood boil.

"If you don't like it, don't buy it"
or
"If you don't like it, don't use it" or whatever. Obviously we're not going to buy it if we don't like it, idiot! :@

I hate NME too. Indie really sucks, although I really do like The Pigeon Detectives. I really hate all these "poppy" bands that are in the charts, The Hoosiers, Scouting For Girls, The Kooks, The Killers etc, I hate them all. The Hoosiers are the worst though.

Actually the person was saying how they don't like the magazine and so they must have bought it in the first place to form an opinion on it, so my point was valid :)

pffft. i've been playing guitar for 5 years, and most metal (i.e. dragonforce) is uncreative dribble. sure its hard to play, but its not hard to come up with, seeing as everything is in scale, which is what angers me most. the best and most creative artists around today hate scales and music theory and all that garbage. why would i want to hear something so expected and predictable? thats exactly how i feel when i listen to some crappy metal band playing a scale at lightning speed: bored out of my mind.

I totally agree, I said I like to play it to show off my skill at playing lol. But the reason I don't like indie though is its just repetative chords, which are just as simple as a load of scales... I prefer to play things like jazz and ska and reggae for fun because they are more interesting and you can get a groove and jam easily :)
