I wouldn’t say one is necessarily working harder than the other. They’re just doing different things.

The same boomers when you say bands playing at 400bpm are expressing emotions and working harder than the guy bending to the blues not slowly for the millionth time.
It’s got no soul! How can you refine yourself through hours of practice and technique and dedication and also express yourself at the same time???

really now. why don’t you try to play AUM by Archspire and compare how much dedication and effort that takes compared to playing Detroit Rock City
I’m sure the bendy boomer zillionaires were just as dedicated as the impoverished canadians that risk bankrupcy whenever they tour.
get back to me when you realise that it’s going to take you about 15 mins to play detroit rock city, but probably a year to learn how to play AUM.

I know whatever musicians were playing that faster track put countless hours into learning to play their style, but so does every other professional musician. That to me sounds like complete garbage, just as I’m sure slower lyrical music sounds like garbage to you.
Different kinds of musicians spend their time improving different aspects of their playing. Some of it you will appreciate, and some you won’t. You don’t have to be an elitist about it and pretend your favorite genre is the only one that requires any skill to perform well. Most people simply don’t care how fast you can play those technical passages that are so distorted they sound like white noise to the average person. They would rather perfect their tone and style.

Just want to say I entirely agree with you and that I’m really not sure why the other person doesn’t get it. Any musician knows tone/timbre is really important. I play the violin; you can play really fast and that takes skill, but there’s also a hell of a lot of skill involved in getting a nice sound out of a sustained note.

I see excuses, not bleeding fingers. For real. Go try it. Come back to me later when you fucking manage it. Or just admit you’re wrong.

It’s almost as if me and OP are trying to do this about the boomers and their favourite genre/band.

Why do you feel the faster music has trash tone? Isn’t it all just opinions maan?
If you don’t like heavy metal, sure. Let me get a different example for you.
Paganini’s Caprice no.24 it has slow passages and faster passages
Or some Chopin
Do you want to bitch about tone for that too?
The whole idea is that when boomers shit on music that’s over 100 BPM, they’re assholes. You want to come to that idea and say that "um akshually, the boomers are right, music is about “FEELING” and “TOAN” and your guys are too fast and the tone is too scary? I compared it to Kiss, your great granddad probably would probably shit himself if he heard the devil sounds coming out of ace frehley’s amp.
Defending rock TOAN is not where you want to be. It’s basically over, boomers are dead and Tim killed them with his “Boomer bends” comment.
