Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
6. Defend your opinion
This is a bit of a mix of rules 4 and 5 to help foster higher quality posts. You are expected to defend your unpopular opinion in the post body. We don't expect a whole manifesto (please, no manifestos), but you should at least provide some details as to why you hold the position you do.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

He doesn't like being the center of attention. It is pretty well known that he performs from the back of the stage.
The guitarist and bassist were asked why they didn't move around much while performing, they replied they were busy counting which is no surprise when you listen to the polyrhythms that Danny Carey is drumming out.
When a set is a constant change in time signatures for multiple 10 to 15 minute songs I can't imagine how difficult it would be to keep it going for hours, much less trying to also dance around.
Agree. Danny was my favorite part of the show for this reason. Absolutely mind-blowing to watch him play.
I am just blown away that they can play their songs in one go.
It's one thing to do it in studio where you can record in whole or in part and restart or cut back in parts. To do their songs in concert is legendary.
I wish I could see them live but I'm way further away from any big city now so they won't be close to me. Years ago my mom got free box tickets from her work to see them in Vancouver and took my sister. Mom had no idea who they were and other employees were mad she won them but my sister enjoyed the show.
