who has the worst taste in music on the board?

[Guest godthedog]

damn..whats with all the negativity?

 

oh i know! its most likely because its much easier for you all to sit behind your monitors and flame people you've never even met, that way you don't have to worry about getting your face stomped into some asphalt.

 

OPINIONS ARE LIKE ASSHOLES! EVERYONE HAS ONE, AND EVERYONE'S STINKS!

 

in case you haven't noticed...not everyone likes the same shit....so maybe its time to grow up and accept that, and play nicely.

 

 

oh..and i'll save everyone the trouble and just call myself a bitch and admit that i have a slight attitude problem.

i haven't noticed any flaming going on here, but let me be the first:

 

you're a dumbass for posting this. the 'subjectivity' argument has already been made more than once, and a it was put a lot more elegantly.

 

and if you consider the stuff that's gone on here 'flaming', then you just flamed everybody here while saying we shouldn't flame other people.

 

oh i know!  its most likely because its much easier for you all to sit behind your monitors and flame people you've never even met, that way you don't have to worry about getting your face stomped into some asphalt.

and what the hell does this ^ mean? i've read it 3 times, and it still makes no sense to me at all.

[Guest El Satanico]

Maybe she's been watching American History X alot and what she said was an horrible attempt of trying to threaten us all with curb stompings?

[Guest What?]

God that scene made me cringe....

[Guest godthedog]

now i'm wondering what kind of movie 'american history x' would be if it was about metalhead elitists instead of racists. i picture edward norton with a bunch of tattoos that say "journey sucks" and "barry manilow must die," and in prison he gets gang-raped by a group of neil diamond fans who sing 'i am, i said' while they do it.

[Guest Cerebus The Aardvark]

But you hate the Pixies?!? If your gonna tell a joke like that with a straight face, you have to give us some sort of indication that you're kidding. Otherwise, you, my good sir, are now persona non grata in my mind.

 

Eh, I dunno if I hate them, really, but I do dislike them. I think I like 3 songs, and that's pretty much it. A couple of my friends discovered them during college and I heard all about them and heard all their stuff many times, and simply could not get into them. I find them annoying and boring.

 

Oh, and they were a huge influence on Nirvana; that's a grudge I can't really eliminate.

 

So because I dislike the Pixies, I'm an undesirable person?

 

Jesus tapdancing Christ, I thought *I* was intolerant of people's tastes/views.

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

I'm amazed there hasn't been that much flaming in this thread actually, in a good way, I guess. The whole U2 argument i'm completely indifferent to, as well as the pixies, as both bands are just nothing I even remotely get into. I think my writing -friendly- in the title calmed folks like a demerol enema. American History X wouldn't have worked at all with metalheads. We're WAY too unorganized to form gangs like in the movie. Ever been to a local metal show? The straightedge kids always act like they're better than everyone, the black metal band never shows up, the death metal guys show up drunk when their friends' band goes on..usually pretty bad, depends on the scene though. The midwest metal scene is truly sad. Gore bands, mostly. No grind, no black metal, maybe 3 metalcore bands...

[Guest NoCalMike]

Agent of Oblivion: You sum the death/black/grind/hardcore scene up perfectly......I just laughed when I read it.....I am just lucky I live close to San Francisco because they have a GREAT underground metal following, and mostly EVERY tour that comes through CA stops in the bay area~!

 

Sacramento has a good following, we always sellout the show, the problem is, I don't think the bands realize it is worth their time to come here.

[Guest KingOfOldSchool]

Well, since I don't drop in much, no one would know anything about what I like... So here's some bands and their corresponding cds which are in my very small and pathetic collection. There's a lot in here which are remnants of my earlier days where I bought anything I heard on MTV on a whim; also some stuff from when I didn't have enough cds to fill one of those "free cd" offers. A few choices aren't bound to go over here, but what do I care? I definitely need more stuff, but there's only so much cash to go around, especially when you're too lazy to work.

No cal, you have no idea how lucky you are to be around a good scene. The midwest for the most part is absolute crap. there's a band or two up around chicago, and a couple around Indy, but in between...lord.

 

For instance, there's 2 metal bands in the town I live in. one's a gore band, not too bad musically, but it's gore, and there's only so much you can do with that. the other is a thrash band that's fairly decent, but nothing really remarkable. an amazing guitarist and a good drummer pretty much carry the outfit technically.

 

I've been trying to get a goddamn grind band going around here FOREVER, but everybody (including myself) in this town plays the fucking bass, and there's two drummers that can blast beat, both of which are in the aforementioned bands. Guitarists are never hard to come by really, but ones that want to play grindcore can be few and far between. Most of them around here just want to jam out metallica...I fucking hate this town.

 

In a town of about 18,000 people, 100 of whom are even remotely interested in metal at all, 30 of whom play instruments, and I swear to god this is true, TEN of them play bass. along with random guitarists, a crappy singer here and there, and the two drummers. Like I said, pickings are better around chi town and Indy, but that's a fuckin' trek from around Ft. Wayne, IN. Indy's probably the closest at like 3 hours and change. Way too far to drive for practice 2 or 3 times a week.

[Guest converge241]

"Add some Cure, New Order, Therapy?, PJ Harvey, Cohen, Marvin Gaye, The Smiths, and Neil Young to that, and you might be ok."

 

Cerebus you rule - just for Therapy?

[Guest LooseCannon]

Not undesirable exactly. But I can't tell if you missed it or not, but I was just joking. Probably should a thrown a smiley in there.

 

Intolerance can be a virtue.

[Guest LooseCannon]

now i'm wondering what kind of movie 'american history x' would be if it was about metalhead elitists instead of racists. i picture edward norton with a bunch of tattoos that say "journey sucks" and "barry manilow must die," and in prison he gets gang-raped by a group of neil diamond fans who sing 'i am, i said' while they do it.

Post of the week right here.

[Guest swan]

Another long suffering metal head from the midwest. Preach on I hear ya! Have you ever been to the Milwaukee Metal Fest?

[Guest converge241]

Ive always wanted to go to Milwaukee..ive just been to the Massachusetts one..

 

Nile

Dying Fetus

Pessimist

Teratism

Dimmu Borgir

 

are tops in my book

[Guest CoreyLazarus416]

Mass is decent with its scene...we get some nice bands coming around here a lot (Slayer comes through usually twice a year, and their shows ALWAYS sell-out the venue), Megadeth used to come here once a year when they were still together (poor Mustaine...)...but the local scene is pretty shit unless you like hardcore and emo.

 

Hey, converge, any suggestions of shows to see?

[Guest Cerebus The Aardvark]

I assumed you were joking, Cannon...my last line there was somewhat tongue-in-cheek.

 

And yes, intolerance is sometimes a godsend. I do not tolerate people being rude to me, or anyone else, while I am working, so I have received a few complaints here and there because of it. It's a good thing my boss likes me and realizes the customers are fucking idiots, so she doesn't really pay attention to what they say.

 

But this thread isn't about working with the public, it's about bad taste in music, which you, Cannon, unfortunately have.

 

It's ok, dude; there are plenty of other people like you. You're not alone!

[Guest swan]

Is Anal Cunt still around?

[Guest converge241]

corey - did the slayer/in flames already come around? i think its either this weekend or last..

i just answered my slayer question-nevermind

 

 

anal cunt *may* still be around im not as in the scene as i used to be so i cant say for sure. last time i saw them was 2 years ago

[Guest nl5xsk1]

converge(!) 091502 @ palladium

who's converge playing with?

[Guest LooseCannon]

But this thread isn't about working with the public, it's about bad taste in music, which you, Cannon, unfortunately have.

Aww man...

 

Seriously though, not liking the Pixies is like not liking blowjobs from beautiful women. But apparently you swing in a different direction. And that's cool. No judgements here.

 

B)

[Guest cartman]

Corey, you gonna go to Locobazooka?

 

My girl and I are, gonna be my first concert too lol...sad I know.

 

I really look forward to seeing Ra, Disturbed, Flaw, and that StrateJacket band I mentioned in another thread.
