Riddlez, it seems to me that even though you say that you dont want to rain on my party, you really do... Considering the fact that even though you dont like them, you put it in as a FACT that they are shit and so is their music... However, this is not a FACT but merely your opinion... You may think Dragonforce is shit. But, i happen to like them.. There are plenty of bands out there that use enhancements on their tracks, as well as plenty of bands that use computer generated beats for many other things. Think about all the rappers out there.. How many of them actually even play an instrument? Im not going to say that any of the bands you like are shit because you probably like a lot of bands i like as well, and to say that you like a band that IS SHIT is also an affront to your taste taste. The only way that you would have bad taste is if you only listened to Justin Beiber and that Rebecca black girl or whatever her fuckin name is..
There are many people out there who dislike System of a Down. Plenty of people who hate Metallica, and even more who hate Stevie Ray Vaughn. All of these people are Musical artists, all of them have a talent in one form or another, and all of them have made mistakes and have used computer generated audio files to ENHANCE their sounds in one way or another. There arent that many people out there who can actually play Fire and the Flame in the speed on the album. In fact i havent heard ANYONE as of yet who are able to play it without getting completely frustrated and saying to hell with it.
As far as their show sucking, some of their earlier shows did suck donkey balls. To that much i can agree, however, since about 2009 they have been doing a lot better about giving better shows. All bands have shows that Completely Suck, just the same as all bands have shows that completely ROCKED. Just because your experience at a show sucked doesnt mean that all their live shows suck, and it doesnt mean that they need to be banned from the airwaves or from youtube.. It doesnt mean that they are complete and total shit. It means you got screwed out of money because you went to a show they fucked up at.. Ive been to shows that Metallica fucked up at, Ive been to shows where Seether fucked up, Ive been to shows where a musician was so fucking drunk he couldnt perform... Even though those shows suck it doesnt mean the bands suck... It means i had a shitty time and will just hope for better at a later date...
Tl;dr
I got to 'FACT that they are shit', and I was like
Look.
Cry about it if it makes ya happy.
But if a band can't even admit that they can't play live what they do in studio, where is their integrity? (There was an interview with Herman Li in which he denied speeding up his licks, even when there was evidence)
Also, listening to their music is like a 9 year old's version of Dungeons and Dragons on a 6pack of Redbull.
It's complete, fantastic, bullshit.
But if you like it, awesome.
