Well I like RATM from a politcal stance, I think they have something urgent to say and that energy comes across in their music, and I think they have a nice groove
I don't think you can call the youth narrow minded or useless just because they like what modern bands of our time are playing, I also like Zappa, Zepplin, Dire Straits, Tubular Bells etc... just because we like something that may sound angry or "not musical" it doesn't make us ignorant nor monsters.
Like X4StringDrive said, I think the old generation never gets the new generation's music. Hell I'm starting to think all music these days, the whole "emo" thing, all sounds limited and repetitive, I must be getting old!
Anyway, okay can we find a song that we can all talk about and help me understand what's going on.
How about the Pink Panther tune, what key is that in? I can play it, but I just go by hearing the note and trying to find it on my guitar, and the pattern of notes the song makes on my fret board bears no resemblance to any scales I can find on here:
