samplers eh? then you'll need a lot of players in your metal band, but the idea is nice. However, then you can't have all the extra things a real instruments can do, so you have the orchestra, without the possibilities.

Of course, a real orchestra sounds better, but it's a lot easier and cheaper using a sampler for them. But you are confusing a synthesizer with a sampler. A synthesizer makes sounds, and works a bit like a keyboard. A sampler plays samples, taken from synthesizers or any other instrument, or more instruments at the same time. So you can sample an entire orchestra, with one small device. It'll have as good as the same sound.

But there are a lot of metalbands that contain out of six people plus (even up to 9). Of course, most orchestra's are bigger, but there are also these small groups with only 4 or 5 instruments (sorry, don't know the word for it [Roll Eyes] ) And some metalbands use samplers that can imitate an entire orchestra. It's not the same as a full orchestra, but it sounds quite like it.

Anyway, You can look at that from 2 perspectives. A lot of instruments mean a lot of possibilities, but fewer instruments means that you can may more attention to those instruments. With a lot of instruments, a lot of things can happen at the same time, but to much of it can give a slightly chaotic sound. With fewer instruments, the possibilities are limited, but it gives a different sound.

That's just something personal. Liking and disliking instruments is just prefence.

If you like a sweet summernight mood, you'll like jazz and classical music more then rock, and so on...

I'm not really into the classical music, so I don't know that much about it. Same goes the other way around. If someone's not interested in metal, (s)he'll know less about it then someone who is interested in it.

I forgot to applaud your good memory. It keeps amazing me that you remember stuff like my chemistry set, which I made a topic about probably four months ago. Good work!

Was it only that long? I swear you made one about August last year.

Far more variety than gangster rap to pure industrial noise to death metal? (For the sake of argument, since I only count one of those genres as real music.)

And I do like classical but it just is not agressive enough for me, the slow parts are boring and the fast parts end quickly. Many black metal bands, however, uses classical scores in their music which is offset by blast beats, heavily distorted guitars and throat-wrenching vocals.

What the heck?
Even using a liberal definition of "speak" -- say, "can communicate using said language without herculean strain" -- there are very few people here who possibly speak more than three languages.

Whoever speaks four or six or nine languages, you've got some splainin' to do!

Pop? Are you trying to make me hurt you?
