Nah I listened to them all and the first thought in my head was...

"I CANT MOSH TO THIS SHIT!"

It was soft, non-awesome music that just blends in with the paint on the wall, essentially the nascar of the music world. But I'm a knuckle-dragging neanderthal and the only music I like is loud, abrasive, chugging that sounds like rocks being smashed over pterodactyl's

You sir, are a Philistine.

Other uses of the term 'Philistine'

• In non-historical usage, the word philistine denotes a person deficient in the culture of the liberal arts, or a smug and intolerant opponent of the bohemian, one who exhibits a restrictive moral code. See Philistinism.

Duane Allman. Slide guitar yesssss. No competition there, and he is on so many levels amazing.

Too bad he died young [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

The REAL truth is,

They just aren't heavy enough for my sensibilities , are they talented technically? Yes. Can they ozone your brain from rhythm? Probably not.

Best post on here. My Dad played Dick Dale's version of Riders in the Sky for me when I was about 8 years old, and I immediately understood what "rocks" and what doesn't. Then about 14 years later I see him in concert (which is unbelievable) and tell him, "I've been waiting to hear that song live since I was 8 years old" and he just looks at me for 4-5 seconds not saying anything then says, "You know, that's pretty cool" and then signs my arm. The guy is so cool I am convinced he beat his own rectal cancer out by blowing it out his ass with kickass guitar.

Link Wray is pretty badass too.
