sounsd too essentionalist to me

🤷

fuck it all

it does but u can vibe with music without formal education

tbh

Metal originally had a similar purpose as hip hop, it was a rebellion against musical elitism

Then metal became its own elitism

I mean, how many bands do you know with a member that was trained in formal education before starting the band. Most start out of passion for the art.

ye

exactly

It's not needed and never will be.

Not for commercial success, but

usually those with formal education dont make exciting music outside conservatory

If you break into the classical or the metal genre, you'll get nowhere without a formal education

Yes you can

Show me someone who did

Paul Di'Anno

Brian Ross.

not sure but i'd assume nergal hasnt completed high school 😂 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkFeMEh_1VQ

Metallica

Burzum

Mayhem

Darkthrone

Exodus

Bio-Cancer

What a surprise, all of these are from the original days of metal, that's exactly my point

Razor

Bio-Cancer is a new band what

Havok

Evile

Municipal Waste

I've never heard of the latter ones

Suicidal Angels

Overkill

You're saying all of these consist of musicians without formal training?

how far is formal training formal training? if they took guitar lessons is this formal training?

As far as I am aware, yes. Most pick up their chosen instrument, teach themselves or get lessons and then start a band.

one reason i quit on metal was it became too formal

i quit on metal because it's fucking ridiculous

"get lessons then start a band" = formal

but very enjoyable
