Yup, its the truth. It came out years ago that they couldn't even play. If you listen to their first album, you can almost tell because of how simply the melodies are.

I know Lamb of God songs that are easier to play on guitar than some of the Beatles first album works. Doesn't mean shit besides I listen to metal. Beatles aren't metal and the only reason why I listen to them is so the woman can pretend she's in the fucking 20's with her friends on the weekend.

I have to take up for them though, simplicity does not mean a lack of talent.

musical knowledge has no bearing on aesthetics

Aesthetics wasn't in question.

Wrong. It came out that they couldn't read music. That's not the same thing. Tons of extremely talented musicians can't read music (in fact, the better musicians tend not to be able to), but they sure as fuck can play.

Robert Johnson, Hendrix, Page, Clapton, Eddie Van Halen, Slash, Angus Young, Tony iommi, Tom Morello, Adam Jones, Jamess Hetfield, Dave Brubeck, BB King, SRV, Tom Petty, Lindsey Buckingham, Mike Campbell, Tommy Emmanuel -- none of them can/could read music (and that's probably not even a short list).

those two invalidate your argument fully.

aesthitics is in question when it's a subjective "taste" that's trying to be argued objectively.

When you're talking about "talent" it ceases to be subjective. You're free not to like whatever, but talent exists concretely.

Hey guys remember Stomp? That was pretty metal!

okay, go down the platonic division hole and find out what "talent" actually is
