Justin Bieber has 35 million fans on facebook.

Like this post if you are scared for humanity, too.

I thought dragon force was cool too until I heard that they speed up their recordings to make it seem like they are shredding stupidly fast.

You mean this?

yep. I don't care what cover up they tried to come up with. They faked music and that's not cool in my book. but what phoenix says is pretty much my same stand point. I never listen to the radio and I personally search for music my way by talent or individuality or atmosphere. yes people will suggest some music to me and I'll give the group a chance. out all the artist I listen to only a handful are from suggestions. My library is filled with music that people can't even begin to guess who they are and that's how I like it. It's not mainstream and also I listen to music internationally. American's (most of them) have something against foreign music and that upsets me because they are choosing to be and remain ignorant.

But, from a practical stand point, i can't stand listening to the radio; almost as much as i utterly shun popular opinion. i don my "musician hat" and listen to the most talented guys i can find. So, being the elitist snob musician i am, i may be inclined to input that "today's music" is another term for "Pop music" and "Pop music" is "Popular Opinion" more than music period. Look at the abominations in America that are American idol, or America's got Talent... Look at the vortex of culture that is MTV... "today's music" isnt about sound, "today's music" isnt about meaning, its about man made ideals that performers are carved into to fit a mold... Said performers dont even need to be talented. That's what auto tune is for... "Today's Music" isnt what sucks today, its the lemmings that encourage suits to factory make garbage and call it music.

As I said earlier, this has always been a problem. We have never had a world where meaningful and intelligent music has dominated the markets.

Wait what songs lyrics did LaBrie even write? I thought up until recently Portnoy and Myung wrote everything. Sorry for getting off topic.

I'm pretty sure he wrote a lot of their earlier stuff. Even so, their lyrics have never been very provocative, though his voice is very good, which was my point.

Did they ever offer any proof that they actually sped stuff up? I didn't know about them back when it happened so I don't know too much about it, but from what I've read it was just a rumor that happened because of shitty technical work that effed the sound up during one of their tours and on the next tour supposedly they had the stuff working and they were playing the stuff just fine.
