Now, don’t get me wrong, how music sounds is extremely important however I hear people say things like, “it’s just noise” or “you listen to what kind of music?”. This is wrong as just like with food, people have different music tastes. For me, it has to have a good beat or flow. I love music from the Beatles to Lamb of God, The Eagles to Sinatra.
I first remember when I got my first taste of metal, my friend had just out on Metallica’s The Black Album. Before this I had rock and roll, and whatever my mother and sister listened to (Abba rule, just saying) but nothing this heavy. Melodic, raw. It was captivating. I love it, I needed more. Then years later I heard Slipknot and Joey Jordison sowed the seed of a drummer in me.
Listen to what makes you feel! Simple as. For some people that’s something that makes you want to dance, others, it’s something that makes you want to escape, remember, laugh, or cry. What’s “just noise” to you, is helping someone else.
Take care of yourselves,
