Jazzcore live (my band doing its thang)!

Your music's pretty good. Not my thing now, but I would've loved it about 15 years ago. The "jazz" tie-in is thin, but whatever. Genre names are BS anyway.

That said, you need to get a thicker skin. Crapping all over anyone who doesn't dig your stuff, especially when its as out-there as yours is, makes you seem insecure and petty.

Get a copy, you'll save me time. You too, M0ses.
 
I like this. My first thought on clicking the youtube link was that somebody listens to a lot of Mike Patton. Then I clicked the Myspace. I hear a lot of Mike Patton/Mr Bungle-type influence, Dog Fashion Disco and such. I have always liked those bands. I would certainly dig this on a CD, possibly love it live.
 
If this was some famous or semi famous band doing this same song with the same sound quality, I don't think most of the comments would be so negative or critical.

I don't know- this is not exactly "mainstream". A lot of people just don't like this kind of music. Granted, some people will like anything from known artists, but I think criticism here has been mostly fair.

What hasn't been fair is the OP's response to any and all criticism. Why start a thread like this if you're just going to insult everyone who responds?
 
Mmk, I concede... your stuff on Myspace is far better sounding. Camcorder/ cell phone recordings really do eliminate a lot. I'm not a huge fan of math type rock, but while we're mentioning some names. I know of Daughters, who recently are no longer a band, and All Leather, who is not quite so mathish.

Daughters broke up? Really? I enjoyed those dudes. Your band totally reminds me of Dillinger Escape Plan And Mike Patton. Or that one album where Mike Patton did the vocals for DEP. Either way I like your stuff!

I don't. I think it has been non-existent. I love a good bit of constructive criticism, but if you're just going to show up with ignorance, you get the napalm. Dudes like Burlington, for example, are just having a go for the sake of being awesome blokes; trite, obvious, and not helpful.

But if you're digging it and things, I'm glad. We work hard on this music, even though it might sound like a bit of a cacophony at times. I think I do more quadratic equations before playing than I ever have :D
 
Would someone explain to me why the word jazz was even mentioned in this thread????
You really got up my arse with this. Pet peeve, got no patience for the inability of passer-bys to grok the concept that, no, it's not literally jazz but yes, by God, does it contain many, many elements as patented - and even some suggested - by jazz. I'm going over our mixes for the EP right now, and it sounds like schizo Herbie all up in this track. No metal drummer has ever touched a damn ride cymbal like our boy is doing right this instance in my headphones - but Art Blakey has. I really look forward to sharing it with you, I honestly think you'll find something to dig about it.

SCHIZO Herbie, man :bassist:
