Isn't glam metal more about the visual than the sound?
I think there are elements of Megaman music in some of Liquid Tension Experiment's songs, as well as in Megadeth's 'Lucretia'.
I ask because I want to find more music like it. Instrumentals, specifically.

Anonymous Wed Dec 25 21:22:44 2013 No.1296162

It's basically shred/power metal as it existed in Japan. Do not forget that probably the two biggest influences on Japanese game soundtracks up to that era were probably metal-evolving-out-of-Deep Purple personified by Yngwie Malmsteen, and yacht-rocky jazz fusion as personified by Casseopeia.

Try "Rising Force" by Malmsteen, "Mind's Eye" or others by Vinnie Moore, Tony MacAlpine, some Steve Vai albums, et cetera. If you like those, you might check out more modern stuff that evolved from there, e.g. "The Elephant Man's Alarm Clock" by Buckethead, Jeff Loomis's solo albums.

I've never been to /mu/, but is dadrock a bad thing? I understand they hate Zeppelin and Grateful Dead and similar bands from previous generations, but wouldn't that hatred something related to hipsters and not the music itself?

Or is it just a general opinion there that anything over so-and-so years old is shit?

Lol it's the opposite. /mu/ is like /a/ in many respects. If you don't like ambient noise and barely audible moaning lyrics you aren't a true Scotsman. The hate for dad rock stems from a snobbish attitude that dad rock is the go to music genre for those without taste' but still want to appear 'cool'

That goes for a vocal minority on /mu/ tho, in my experience, yeah you'll always have lame ass trips and shit talkers, but there are also a lot of cool people that have great resources to find new music and sometimes you can catch a not-half-bad discussion... sometimes.

I have a slight problem with people who wear Pink Floyd shirts but can't tell me any tracks off of Obscured by Clouds, or people who wear Beatles shirts and can't tell me the album a certain track is off of. don't get me wrong, I won't go out of my way to ask EVERYONE i see who wears these shirts, but if someone claims they're a "huge fan hur hur", then I will. Led Zeppelin is one of my favorite bands of all time. I can name every song, and which album it's on. "Dadrock" isn't necessarily a genre, nor is it even a subgenre. I do however say we can call kids of today "dadrockers" who only know the popular stuff. people really need to know this. dadrock isn't a genre. dadrockers however, are faggot kids who say "omg stairway to heaven" pink floyd is a cool guy, i like his song "money"

I think X1, X5, and X6's music nailed the heavy/"epic" tone of the X series, and I really wish they had stuck with it instead of going for some weird electronic hybrid style with X7 onward.
