Overdone Artists/Songs

Postby DreamOnMan92 » Thu Jul 02, 2009 3:53 pm

How about posting a sticky telling newbs not to bother making certain songs, or songs by certain artists, that have, pardon the pun, been strung-out/fretted to death? Metallica, Megadeth, Muse, MCR... just to pick the M's out of the songs wiki. Because really, we don't need a 42nd version of A Tout Le Monde or Nothing Else Matters.

True, we don't.
There is no need to be upset.

Well, I think those songs, although overdone and all, are still important and a good way to enter into the world of fretting, that is, fretting something you like or that is somewhat popular. Not only that, but having so many good versions to reference to, users can give criticism more particularly, like pointing out specific parts and comparing them to recognized charts and fretters. I think putting any barriers onto one's work, especially when it's supposed to be free and made for the community, seems kind of rude and unnecessary.

If we get one more "Impossible Song ololololololol" I'm going jump off a cliff, hang myself, shoot myself, then fall into a kiddie pool of sharks. If I'm still alive, I'll put salt on the open wounds.

As long as there will be people to post (bump) topics about "overdone" songs there will be a reason for these songs to exist. If you're not interested in a song, simply ignore the thread, it will be forgotten before long. I know I wouldn't want to be the guy who tells people not to fret specific songs and then stop some new "fretting star" enthusiasm. Who knows really, maybe a new fretting version will really improve the fun factor of an overdone song.

I think telling them to not make certain songs is a little drastic. Let them fret and release what they want. As raph666 said
it will be forgotten before long

Cool story, bro.

And Raph is right, you shouldn't stop people from fretting what they like.

He's not telling people not to fret what they like. It's just kinda pointless to have so many versions of one song. or one genre-metal- considering thats the only thing people on this forum listen to.

It doesn't really hurt, and I don't think there is any real good way to prevent it.

If only there were a proper way to rate songs, we could weed through the good versions and the lousy versions *cough*link*cough*
