Country music rocks. Country FEST, however, does not. ---

I don’t know how anyone can enjoy country music. Look at me! I can sing in a deep falsetto with a fake accent while some douchebag plays slide guitar in the background! ---

No, I hate people that can’t sing trying to do so. It’s like going to karaoke night and actually enjoying the drunk fucks singing… not going to happen for me. ---

Country is far better than a lot of the crap they play today on the radio. It’s certainly better than metal or rock (which in my opinion - as someone who did 8 years of music school - isn’t music). Country music FTW. ---

Okay. I guess the fact that I have 8 years formal training in music means I don’t know what I’m talking about. :lol It’s a bunch of noise with a person(s) yelling/screaming (metal/death metal). How the hell is that music? :lol. It’s noise. Noise that makes you want to murder small animals. :rofl ---

Just got off the phone with Sammy Hagar. He heard what you said about Rock not being music and told me to tell you that his god carries a hammer. Didn’t yours die nailed to a cross? Pfft. Not music. Yeah, and Joe Jiggs has a Ph.D ---

I don’t listen to that either, I tend to agree with you on this subject. Rock music is not the devil though. ---

I never said it was the devil :lol. And yeah, they don’t which is good. But I hear people at stop lights rocking out to it and it really makes me wonder how they can like it (not because it sounds evil or whatever, but because to me, it’s just not music). I was basing my judgments solely on whether it’s music or not based on my education. Skillet is a “Christian” Rock band that they have played on the radio (non Christian stations which is where I heard of em). That’s about as far as I’ll go with rock before it sounds like crap to me. ---

That’s about as far as I’ll go with rock before it sounds like crap to me. What is the actual (or your) definition of Music and how does rock/metal not fall under that definition? As far as I am concerned music is art and a lot of times when it comes to art there are no rules. Maybe the screaming vocals is too much for you (and a lot of people for that matter) but the guitars still play notes and chords and the drummers are usually the most talented drummers on earth still using time scales, separation and rhythm. Please explain how just because you don’t like something, based on your education it is not music. Also, Country music sucks!
