You are mistaking digital instrumentation with MIDI-like sounds.

One thing is to say you dislike one instrument (or sound) or another, but to categorically state that you dislike a whole range of instruments, which can mimic another range which you state to like is... well... absurd.

your thinking too hard. you shouldn't do that, you might forget math or something. so lets put it another way, i dont like electronic instruments, unless they are analog, and i dont like excessive post production, which i think makes the sound flat. thats not even touching on the trends in modern music that i despise. it need not go further than that, or im going to start demanding the return of 8 track tapes and make general get off my lawn type statements.

You might as well, that would be a concrete and reasonably logical thing; this not so much.

Three people, one acoustic guitar, all awesome.

in short Nuke likes the character that comes from sound imperfections with an analogue based input played with human hands when played with a degree of competence.

That's like saying you like movies filmed in one take, though; it's something that doesn't actually happen unless you're dealing with complete incomptents. If there are noticeable imperfections, you'll do over, and have for at least a couple generations.

its like saying you make a movie without using CGI and sound effects editted in afterwards, its possible, it probably wont have the mass global appeal, but it can still be good with a enjoyable character all of it's own

No, it's like saying when you blow a stunt or the actor corpses it'll get left in. You're comparing additional postwork to what you've stated already are production errors.

i kind of have to agree here. a good example of this is star wars, prequels vs sequels. old skool movie magic still reigns supreme in my book.

LOL that's nowhere near what he is proposing here. He's just complaining against over-produced, over-synthethized and over-plasticized pieces of sound which are distributed as aledged pieces of music. I am not as pessimistic but I understand.

Also, while music recorded for an album is performed repeatedly until it's as close to perfect as can be, live performances at concerts by definition cannot be.

[Nuke]

thats how you tell how good a band really is. on the other hand with digital instruments its hard to tell if they are actually playing or just running programs. drum triggers can **** of and die as well.

So, Nuke... What does this qualify as:

[Nuke]

the robots are playing analog instruments so i guess its ok.

[headdie]

Certainly going to have to go a long way to get more metal than that 

[Nuke]

motorhead is its own genre of music.

[Jeff Vader]

A metal version

[IronBeer]

A metal version

Absolutely transcendent, that is.

[redsniper]

A metal version

Damn, that was pretty
