it's not about chord progressions or notes or scales or whatever, music is about feeling, its about the emotions one puts into a song. that's why there is so many different types of music and the composers who write that music.
good example:
yngwie ( and other shredders) feel songs with thousands of notes but, john cage wrote songs with the fewest notes possible. There are people who love both types and those who dislike them.
It doesn't matter if bands use the same notes or have the same sound, it's all about the feeling one puts into the music they write or play.
yngwie - far beyond the sun

Depends on where the discussion was. I'm not a fan of Dimmu or black metal in general but I have heard songs from them. So it really depends on what is said about them, and if I have enough information to comment on it.
I meant the whole ac/dc is awesome/mediocre leading to intense discussions about music and feeling and all that stuff.
Or would everyone just been like "dimmu, yeah whatever"

Probably "Whatever" I love discussions and hearing other peoples thought on them.
Most of what I was saying is based on Ac/Dc as I really cant find emotion in there music as its pretty much the same style through out there career.
Listen to the song Ride On........it's Bon Scott laying it all out there, about him drowning his sorrows because of every "Bridge he's burnt" and trying to comfort himself with prostitutes and the bottle but it doesn't fix anything......eventually he says f*ck it and he's going to "Ride On".....it's storytelling and lament of Hank Williams and Merle Haggard quality. A very sad but optimistic song. The Bon Scott era of AC/DC had alot more depth to it......what macho hard rocker from the 70's would write a song like "Ride On"........
Just pushing this out for response maybe ...........
