Yeah, well, that’s just, like, your opinion, man.
Hahaha
Dubstep Is Like Really, A Very, WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB WUB Version Of Dance Music
I disagree with this statement. As much respect as I have for Haake, those sound like the words of someone who feels a bit embarrassed to listen to/like dubstep.
I’ve been calling it metal club music for a while now
you’re quite the innovator.
Industrial is the Metal version of dance music, dubstep is just…dubstep.
the kid’s gotta point here.
Dubstep is an embarrassment to music. There’s nothing “metal” about it.
Get over it, Beth
Et tu Meshuggah?
I remember back when True Human Design came out and people bitched about the last 2 tracks on the disc. “Fuck that techno shit, it’s not even Meshuggah.” They are no strangers to remixing songs in an unpopular(with Metal fans) form. Now 15 years later, here’s the same shit all over again. Message boards with casual Meshuggah fans focusing on one song featuring a form of music they hate. History repeats…. If they follow with this trend, we should expect “Chaosphere 2″ for the next release.
For the love of fucking christ, I hope youre right. Haha
I’m just saying that if you go to a metal show, its only 25% females in attendance. 90% of those are clinging to their boyfriends. You go to a club and its 75% women. If I had to pick my music at this club I would be begging for dubstep, otherwise I would end up with m’bop.
Your comment makes zero sense
It makes sense, it’s just irrelevant.
By the way, I dont know what clubs you’ve been to but I’ve NEVER seen one with 75% women unless you were referring to the GLBT bars you frequent.
there’s no I in team, however if it means that Together Everybody Achieves More, and there is an I in achieves, it could be construed that there is and I in team.
now that’s irrelevant. and wurst don’t hate a nigga cuz he frequents something other than this webpage.
all i know is that i know nothing
You sound like my high-school football coach
Nice quote, Socrates.
hes the man. smartest thing any man has ever said
“All you need to know is, no.” Now I feel dumb quoting the Clown.
I completely agree with the guy. some dubstep can be super aggressive and heavy. check out guided relaxation by borgore. When I listen to it I can’t help but wonder how heavy it could actually be if it was recorded with downtuned guitars and double bass drums. the remixed meshuggah stuff sounds rad, good for them for not being afraid to piss some purists off by stepping out of their comfort zone.
Listened to the song. I must say, that four minutes was the low point of my existence.
Dubstep sounds like a dial up modem gone wrong imo
I wonder what Ol’ Dirty Bastard would have thought about this Dubstep.
tomas haake totally is the dude
