Time Signatures

Actually money is in 7/8 as I recall, but im not PF fan o I could be wrong. "Times like these" by the foo fighters is in something ****ed like 5/8 I think and I know Megadeath's "Wake up Dead" is in 15/8. Lets see that ****ty jazz time sig compete with 15/8, take double-digits you jazz loving bitch.
 
What do you mean you don't know who im talking to? If you mean the bitch comment, well then I suppose thats my fault for assuming rab had a sense of humor. It was directed toward the person who submitted Money, other than that we should be on the same page mr. sensitive (yes I know he's not actually Mr.Sensitive)
 
In any case, Tool are still the best, because they manage to be incredibly complex and make it sound simple as well as incredibly powerful and moving, and not just like technical wankery. Schism, a relatively catchy and effective song, for instance, goes from 5/4 to 6/4 to 3/8 to 13/8 to 10/8, back to 6/4, then to 11/8... keeps on switching, throwing in some 12/8, 15/8, 9/8, 5/8, 2/4, and finally enRAB in 4/4.



And sorry if I came off as defensive or whatever, I just thought you were responding to my post and I was confused as to which song you thought was a "jazz song." I wasn't really thinking of "Money" as a jazz song.
 
Time Signatures are pretty easy, the top nuraber is the nuraber of beats per measure.

the bottom nuraber is what type of note constitutes one beat in that song...

There for 3/4 will have three beats per measure with a quarter note representing one of those three beats.

Of course you can rearrange it with the math so 6 8th notes is appropriate in 3/4 time.
 
I couldn't be bothered checking them all, but wikipedia said "Quiet" by The Smashing Pumpkins is partially in 13/4, but it just goes into 6/4 for a few bars and there's a 2/4 in there too. There's no 13/4, and even if it went into 6/4 then 7/4 that's not how a normal person would count it :P
