I don't think you do. If you aren't moronic you shouldn't disagree with what I said
lame metal is technical for the sake of being so.. You need to write what FITS then adapt technicality


Oh, you're just misusing the word melody. Okay, I get it now.

By the way, real musicians don't worry about how others write songs. They just play what they play and enjoy what they do. I'm pretty sure that's the most important element of music.

This. If you don't even know what the word melody truly means, I doubt you can really start a debate with it.
Also, like Derkaderk said, people shouldn't worry about how others write songs, but just enjoy their musicianship to the fullest.

Honestly, don't post here.

Melody is more important than techincal ability, but at the same time no-one will listen to a 5 minute epic with 1 note every 8 beats either. There isn't a single part of music thats important, it's meshing all the parts together to come up with something great.

Either way, melody will always win.



Ever heard Scar Symmetry? There's a perfect blend of techincal expertise and melody.

These guys are fucking incredible, although the new singers can't match Christian.

/E: There is no best. The best is both mixed together.

The most complex melodies are the best. Simple melodies = generic and dull. They are equally important to the writing process of any good music. When a band puts one before the other, you get garbage.

I agree. I get sick of simple melodies very quickly. I want to hear more than quarter note and whole notes once in a while...

Actually a good blend of technicality and melody would be jazz.


Metal with jazzy interludes has always been a personal favorite of mine. It takes some real talent to pull it off right.
