Tony R Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Troll. Ok, I'll bite. Why haven't you jumped off that building yet? Can you do it in double quick time when you do? Happy now? No doubt the usual soft touches will come to your defensive and call me a monster. Even though the issue of your suicidal tendencies is pathetically related to a Rock band you know hardly anything about. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 It seems that Im the only one here who knows what time signatures are. But I am a multi-instrumentalist. Time signatures basically tell you have the music is supposed to be counted, how fast to play it, and how many beats per bar. Not important if your just a casual listener. For the proficient prog artists, time signatures are often asdogbed after the fact, to describe what developed by feel during a jam session. In a side note, for those interested in learning about time signatures, listen to Dave Brubeck's classic Time Out album while reading the liner notes. That's a pretty good tutorial.What...is the album Time Out or Take Five? I have to go look now.... :outtahere: Time Out. Take Five is one of the tracks. It's in 7/8, I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm...I thought it was called Take Five because it's in 5/4. (Or maybe 5/8?). But I could be wrong about that. I'd have to listen to it again.

Lucas Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 The most important musicians for me are the ones who can convey a feeling or vision and allow me to translate it emotionally, regardless of style or complexity .. Music, like love, is not about reciting rehearsed passages to those you care about ... it's not mathematics, and bands that go into writing music based on mathematics are not musicians, IMHO In other words, if someone is listening to something simply because it is perceived as complex, they are being taken 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bathory Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 people who judge music based on how "complex" or "technical" it is are a small, small fraction of the music-listening world. don't let it get to you - outside of this forum or the dream theater forum, people who think like that are laughed at. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bathory Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 what's just as annoying are the people who think that being complex or having a song longer than 3 minutes is "pretentious" and "soulless." 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Union 5-3992 Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 I just think that people who would go out of their way to say that if a song doesn't have a weird time signature that it automatically sucks are being really shallow and close minded.I've literally never seen that here 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen anyone say that you have to be technical to be good, but I've seen people who criticize KISS for being simplistic and it's clear that they're so obsessed with 12 minute songs about elves that they miss the point of rock n roll entirely. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchetaxe&saw Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 If a song or piece of music is shit on a stick, no amount of time signatures can save the f***er. Fretwank is fine, but the real thing is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ancient Ways Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 I still believe that bands write riffs not songs in certain time. Waters didn't sit down to write a song in 7/8 (and yes, 4/4 during the solo) when he wrote Money, he found a cool riff that happened to work in 7/8.
