Wait--what was the line I used to post on every TM thread? No (name?) no TM. Was it Andreas? Well, whatever it was, no (whatshisname) = no Treasure Moment.
No Tupac = No Treasure Moment? Maybe THAT was it.

CAPO, Spinetta no es ejemplo de nada. No puede cantar ni el arrorró. Qué desastre el hijodeputa. Y tocando, bastante flojo.
OTOH: I liked the sound quality. The song is a crappy backing track, almost arrangement-less. Some few nice progressions (nice, "pretty" if you will. NOT clever, by any chance). Not more than that. And that little melody here and there is pretty weak.
How dare you call yourselves the best thing since Queen if your melodies suck?
I don't know what is it that you call garbage 3 chord bands. I thought Sex Pistols didn't exist anymore
But you sure sound better than Led Zeppelin. I don't think that's an accomplishment, anyway. Silence is better than Led Zeppelin.

We get it, you don't like Led Zeppelin. You either sound like a child repeating himself until he gets his way, or a religious nut trying to convince the rest of humanity that your worldview is the right one above everyone else's. It's starting to get pathetic. Move on.

Can anyone explain, who/what is Treasure Moment?
emrabt
Treasure Moment was a band.
Treasure Moment is the name of a Queenzone and almost the only member of the self titled band. :
He started posting here a few years ago, saying his band is awesome and everyone else sucks, he bullies people who do not agree with this. For example, he gave me a 6 paragraph incoherent rant with Youtube links and called me a “blind deaf sheep following the luminati”, all because I said Gary Mullen sounded a bit like Freddie Mercury live.
He has stated several times that, he and he alone, is the only one who can make music as well as Freddie did, because he is Persian. (and probably the reincarnation of Mr Mercury.)
He used to post thread after thread of conspiracy theories about “people in high up central banks infecting music”.
He asks for honest opinion and criticism, but can’t accept even constructive comments.
He has told people that his music is better than the Beatles, who wrote children’s music, and Beethoven, who’s music wasn’t catchy enough.
He refused point blank to believe Freddie admired john Lennon, even when it was point out to him Freddie sang, “Lennon is a genius”.
Basically he is a religious nut without the religion, his use of drugs has caused him to see things, start threads about seeing things and go to alternative dimensions.
I kid you not, all of this is 100% true and it isn’t even the worst stuff. Newer posters don’t know how bad this guy originally was, most of them jump on the band wagon. But older posters like zebonka and sir GH will back up everything I have just said.
Really it’s sad, he's living in his own world where it all makes sense.

Hehe. That made me instantly think of Eilert Pilarm. He's probably the most famous Elvis "imitator" in Sweden, if not the world, and apparently he's under the impression that he is the true reincarnation of Elvis. His initials don't help the matter, really. Check this out... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=joncSCoF8eU

Treasure Moment, I hate to say it, but you've turned into a parody of yourself.
Very predictable post, both in the “I’m better than everyone” and the fact you
posted it in the wrong forum. I used to enjoy reading your stuff, where’s the
random unpredictableness, I was looking forward to conspiracy theories and sheep.
Come on, working together me and you can come up with something, Freddie Died in
1979 and was replaced by god?

the truth isnt a parody, if the things im saying werent true i wouldnt say it.

Actually you havent heard it before because its all original melodies and riffs, about the argentinian guy it wasnt catchy unfortunatly.
[/QUOTE]
Yours was far from catchy... not that that's what ultimately makes a good song.
Your new song is beyond contrived, just like the rest of your songs. It sounds like a bad movie soundtrack combined with boring 80s guitar riffs and a horrible drum machine. There is one half-decent moment about 2 minutes in, but that's about it.
As long as you have this the holier-than-thou attitude, nobody is going to take your music seriously. Your head is so far up your ass you don't know your way out.
Looking forward to your next ground-breaking composition.
[/QUOTE]
far from catchy? could you lie a little more? your opinion means nothing as you know nothing about music.

I was going to say something earlier, but decided against it. Now that some of here worth listening have actually commented in the vein I was going to, I might as well go for it.
First of all: it wouldn't be half as bad if it didn't sound like a half-arsed attempt at a theme tune for a crappy indie action game by a 14-year old newbie programmer. I certainly hope it's a first-phase demo version of a song that's going to become something materially different. But if it was, I wouldn't have upped it on YouTube. But if it wasn't a demo - for starters, get a real drummer. In fact, get a real band. Actually, on second thought, don't - but I'm getting ahead of myself here.
Second: maybe you should consider tuning your instruments properly before recording anything. Not sure if it was purposely done, but if you wanted to downtune a guitar, you need to do it to more than just one string.
Third: if you really wanted to be "better" than all mainstream rock/pop - let's just consider what would you actually want with that. More interesting for people who appreciate music, more understandable for regular people (catchy) or what? This track of yours, I could name quite a number of different influences and sources for lots of musical phrases going on there, but the way you combined the elements reminded me of Roger Taylor's new track in its illogicailty. His was more illogical, though, but way more interesting. Still wouldn't buy it.
It's not as bad as the worst piece of crap I've ever heard, really. However, I'd suggest you to experiment more, listen to loads and loads of different types of artists - preferably anything decidedly NOT mainstream. Also, try to approach the music you're about to make in a different way - make yourself as a writer serve the music, not the music serve you as a musician. And finally, approach your potential audience in a more respecting manner. As it has been pointed out, one good way to start would be to post in a forum designated to these kinds of things.
And since you're living in the illusion that your songs are better than anything any of us here could ever write, I'm pretty sure there are quite a few perfectly capable songwriters here who could do something very nice, and I would gladly upload some of my stuff here if it were not copyrighted. Though I'm not too sure that would help with your illusion. Everyone's entitled to an opinion.
[/QUOTE]
you are in NO position to judge our music, downtuned? its tuned in E, check your ears. Its also better than all the mainstream bands COMBINED, thats not arrogance, just a fact, and no, no one here can write something better.

I'm not particularly musical, so you'll probably dismiss my opinion as a result of that, but I found that track completely boring and it didn't engage me at all. The synth sound was awful and seemed very dated to me. Almost expected it to segue into Europe's Final Countdown, and that would have been a welcome change...

as you said you dont know anything about music, what you heard was top quality music better than all mainstream bands and even some old bands(the beatles, u2, rolling stones etc)
