I hate Zimmer because he has ruined film music! ', ' I hate Zimmer because his music doesnt sound like what i listened to when i was a kid during the seventies! ', ' I hate Zimmer because he is not John Williams! '. You know i have my favourite composers, Goldsmith, Williams, Horner, Tyler, Giacchino, and YES! Mr Zimmer is in there as well.I also have composers that i do not care for so i just do not listen to their music, whinge about it on a message board, or like YOR, troll this site with endless threads about why i dislike a composer. So if you dont like Hans Zimmer, thats fine.Just dont buy his music and instead concentrate on what you DO like.Oh and while im here, i will say that even though Williams Superman score is one of my all time favourites, i really enjoyed Zimmers Man Of Steel score and its by far my favourite score of the year thus far. Peace.    Posted:   Oct 11, 2013 - 8:10 AM     By:   Ado   (Member) It is that 'favorite score of the year' bit that sets me off. I mean - of the whole year! ______________ Yor does go a bit overkill, but he has the right to express himself, and he is sometimes funny. His success surpasses his excellence, therein likes the rub with Zimmer.    Posted:   Oct 11, 2013 - 8:13 AM     By:   Timmer   (Member) I thought Man of Steel was pants! Score and film. There's a lot I don't like about Zimmer but none of it is personal and it's all been said before. What I'm basically saying is that I don't hate him and except for a tiny minority I doubt many non-Zimmer fans here hate him either. Why anyone could have hatred for a musician who gives a lot of pleasure to many people is beyond me.    Posted:   Oct 11, 2013 - 8:24 AM     By:   WILLIAMDMCCRUM   (Member) Why does this thread put the phrase 'illegal entrapment' into my mind? 'Somebody gone fishin'?    Posted:   Oct 11, 2013 - 8:26 AM     By:   paulhickling   (Member) I thought Man of Steel was pants! Score and film.

Wonderful.    Posted:   Oct 11, 2013 - 8:36 AM     By:   Timmer   (Member) I agree. The Lone Ranger was a decent score and a good fun listen.    Posted:   Oct 11, 2013 - 8:43 AM     By:   Stephen Woolston   (Member) It goes both ways. Yeah, the whole "I hate Zimmer" thing gets boring, I agree with you. But so does the "The problem with Zimmer haters" thing too. Why can't we just accept that Zimmer is film music Marmite and move on? Or are people still sore that not everyone loved Man Of Steel?    Posted:   Oct 11, 2013 - 8:45 AM     By:   Moviedrone   (Member) Given his and RCP's effect on the modern scoring landscape, I think the "HZ ruined film music" - while a misleading sensationalist title - is a valid debate.    Posted:   Oct 11, 2013 - 8:55 AM     By:   Thomas   (Member) I thought Man of Steel was pants! Score and film. The film sucked and blowed, which I didn't think possible. To be honest, I didn't really pay heed to the music. Most of Zimmer's music sounds much the same to me, almost interchangeable from film to film so I just let it pass without notice. Certainly wouldn't like to sit in the house listening to one of his scores on CD. You're lucky Yor is banned, he would wreak havoc with this thread    Posted:   Oct 11, 2013 - 8:57 AM     By:   mastadge   (Member)    Posted:   Oct 11, 2013 - 8:59 AM     By:   mrchriswell   (Member) When Zimmer ceases to bore and irritate me, I will stop complaining about him. Sound fair?    Posted:   Oct 11, 2013 - 9:11 AM     By:   joan hue   (Member) Maybe the real problem with Zimmer haters is redundancy.    Posted:   Oct 11, 2013 - 9:16 AM     By:   Octoberman   (Member) Why does this thread put the phrase 'illegal entrapment' into my mind? 'Somebody gone fishin'? Exactly. What was the point of scratcing this particular scab in the first place? Was it to keep the scar freshly bleeding? Did someone hate on Zimmer in another thread lately?    Posted:   Oct 11, 2013 - 9:23 AM     By:   Dana Wilcox   (Member) Maybe the real problem with Zimmer haters is redundancy. Which, taken all together, leads us to the mega-question here: Who is/are more redundant -- Zimmer or those who (are said to) hate him??? Speaking as one who has no Zimmer scores in his collection, allow me to state for the record that I find Hans Zimmer, the man, to be a bright, witty and interesting guy. I could listen to him all day!    Posted:   Oct 11, 2013 - 9:25 AM     By:   nerfTractor   (Member) Maybe the real problem with Zimmer haters is redundancy.

Whatever anybody thinks of his music, the man himself seems to be a real gent, and is a blast to listen to in interviews.    Posted:   Oct 11, 2013 - 9:34 AM     By:   Octoberman   (Member) Maybe the real problem with Zimmer haters is redundancy.

This is a discussion forum. Bleeding scars is what we do here...    Posted:   Oct 11, 2013 - 9:43 AM     By:   Octoberman   (Member) This is a discussion forum. Bleeding scars is what we do here... Heh-heh. We deal in lead, friend...    Posted:   Oct 11, 2013 - 9:50 AM     By:   Solium   (Member) What does it matter? I love Horner yet read endless self plagiarizing rants. Doesn't bother me at all. I don't need to defend Horner or my love for his music.     General Discussion: The problem with the Zimmer haters..    < 1 2 3  > >>  Go to page:  1 2 3 4 5 6 7   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1 2 3 4 5 6 7
