jfox, you don't know what you're talking about. you need to calm down. you're good at making my blood boil.
first off, complexity in music means nothing if, at the end of the day, the music sucks. have you heard mars volta's "frances the mute?" it was exponentially more complex than bach and it was still ****ty music. bach isn't even complex. i played piano for 5 years and bach was a n00b. actually, i ****ing hate bach. if he were still around, i'd probably pay my friend to have sex with his wife or something. i'm so ****ing glad he's dead. i'm going to find out where he's buried so i can exume his corpse and mung it. then i'll probably take his femur and beat people silly with it. actually, after that comment about not being smart enough to understand bach, i kind of wanna beat you with it!
also, there's plenty of hardcore, mathcore, and post-hardcore that's complex as hell. angel hair, ad astra per aspera, kill sadie, mogwai, etc. they do crazy **** with serialism, math composition, and other innovative ways to write music. there are bands that do way more experimental and complex things than bach ever did.
but seriously, all music aside, bach was a terrible person. i'm talking like amoral satan worshipper here. did you know that he had sex with young boys? yeah, that's ****ing right, he did. he said it got the creative juices flowing. also he murdered his mom when she said she didn't like one of his songs very much. he was ****ing sick.
also, jfox, for once in your ****ing life, could you please cite your ****ing sources? you claim that "every knowledgeble musician" agrees that bach will live on forever and ever in our hearts and minds, and music today is garbage. that's a complete crock of crap. i'm not sure who brainwashed you into sucking bach's ****, but why don't you try getting off it? i know personally musicians who are much more knowlegdeble than you are that can embrace all sorts of music. i think you're a terrible human being. if i were to ever have kids, i probably wouldn't want them playing near you because you might eat them or something.
in conclusion, in all of history, i'm more glad that bach is dead than anyone else.
p.s. avenged sevenfold is garbage.
p.s.s. you act like you know **** about music, but you don't know the difference between hardcore and metal? god! you failure! don't ever talk to me again!
p.s.s.s. i'll never pm you so you can tell me about your "excellent" bands! you got me so angry all i wanna do now is break ****!
