The discussion revolves around identifying the most hard-driving music ever recorded, with various interpretations of "hard driving" as intense, fast, aggressive, and chaotic. Participants express differing opinions on genres, particularly focusing on death metal and its intersection with other styles. Some find certain tracks noisy rather than musical, while others appreciate the rhythmic drive in classical compositions, citing pieces like Hekla by Jón Leifs and Eine Kleine Nachtmusik. The conversation touches on the subjective nature of music perception, particularly regarding chaos versus noise, and includes references to various artists and genres, including grindcore and psytrance. The intensity of music is highlighted, with mentions of specific songs and performances that evoke strong emotions, showcasing the diversity of interpretations within the hard-driving music theme.

A friend showed me these guys. This is the most hardcore and laid back drummer I've ever seen:

I see I’m a little behind here… EDIT: or not….

Stumbled over this one although I’m not completely sure I like it or not. If nothing else it has its own style.

Female vocals on hardcore metal is new to me though. It's growing on me though.

EDIT: Also it feels a little like we've come full circle to the OPs first post.... somehow.... although he might disagree.


EDIT2:

Totally unrelated, I sat down and learned Dire Straits' "You and Your Friend". After reading the lyrics more carefully it seems there's only one way to interpret that song:

An old perv is waiting for a couple for doing the nasty. The outcome is unknown.

That, err, took me a little by surprise...

Even though no one can deny Marcin is talented (and at that age even). It's just easy to get tired of his style IMO.

I like this one though, where he explains and shows he can play normally too (yeh, why shouldn't he be able to?):

I've probably posted this one before but he does somewhat the same. Marcin does it on western strings though. He must have some hardcore calloused skin on his fingers.

This might be a better example

When I Stopped My Show To Prove It Wasn't Fake - Marcin


because of an amusing set of recent videos by Sor Hands ranting on that particular video
  • EXPOSING Marcin's FAKE Tappy Guitar Playing
  • PROOF That Marcin Is FAKE (Once and for All)
  • I Can't BELIEVE Marcin Posted This

    All right, so as you might have noticed,
    I've been generating a little bit of drama because Marcin put out this video.
    The whole point of the video was to prove that
    he's actually playing everything that he's saying he's playing all at once.
    And I just said, "You are for the most part."
    Uh, except for this one part.
    You definitely overdubbed that.
    And in the last video, I said that I was very confident about that. And I still am today.
    ....
    But essentially, I just review actual live videos of Marcin and everything he's playing is legit and possible.
    And that's what I said.
    And I said that in his new video that was mostly the case, except obviously it was like studio production.
    And there were several tracks that were being layered together to create one song,
    which by the way, I also said is normal. You do that in music.
    The only weird part about it was saying at the end that all of this is played on one guitar at the same time.

Here is the recent response video from Marcin that prompted Sor Hands' last video

I stumbled upon the videos below (which I think are related to the drumming style here)
The takeaway from the above videos... it's not cheating.

I have a better appreciation for this drumming style.
There are no rules in music.
