QuoteALSO have you ever read the music for Mars Volta? It's super strutctured.

what? so you're telling me songs with ambiance, jazz fusion segments, strange chord progressions and complex time signatures are structured?

QuoteYeah I know, I have no idea what I'm talking about. This shit just came right on out of my ass.

you can be weird and still be structured. what wouldn't be structured is stuff that is off the cuff. structured means that your going to follow your plan for the music. Saying the Mars Volta isn't structured is like saying the Dillinger Escape Plan isn't structured. Both bands are highly technical but the Volta kickass and DEP is prewtty lame, except for the CD Mike Patton was on.

Anyway I do have alot of musical knowledge, I've been in music since I was 5 so when you grow up with it you learn alot. However, most of the stuff I was typing there was just because I felt like being a douchebag. I do with the thing I said about genres though.

oh boy sarcasm is so funny.

i like this vid though. Mike Patton should go on tour with every band, and then even the bad bands will be good, at least for a little bit.

You ever go to a Fantomas concert? Patton often greets his fans if you stick around. I however didn't get to meet him, cause there were other bands I wanted to see. My friend met him though, and said he was incredibly normal considering the image he has. The guy rummaged through garbage on stage after all and ended up paralyzing his fingers on one hand because of it.
