[Toozey]

Hello, I'm Toozey I post here sometimes.

[Bartender]

Can you recommend something?

I could, but I'm not too hot on black metal. My black metal listening, so far anyway, spread about as far as Burzum or Immortal. For Immortal, check out anything from At The Heart of Winter - it's not ultra-raw, tr00 black metal, but it's a great album and probably a good introduction. If you want the true stuff, check out Mayhem - songs like Freezing Moon, Funeral Fog and Pure ****ing Armageddon.

Good symphonic black metal are bands like Emperor, and older Arcturus, but I haven't taken the time to check them out properly yet. Superpeer or Per Ardua should be along soon enough, they could give you more, and better, recommendations :)

EDIT: Good as Gorguts are, I don't think they're black metal.

[Baodegoth]

what's the biggest diference between black and death metal? i'm confused...i know what's melodic death metal...and i like some bands (at the gates is frekin awesome!) but i can't seem to "separate" black from death. n e 1?

[manuscriptreplica]

Emperor are good too, more along the lines of symphonic black metal.

[manuscriptreplica]

Baodegoth - read the very first thread entitled 'The different genres of black metal' it's right at the top of the page, you can't miss it.

[Baodegoth]

^LOL...thanks...the thing is i've already read that and still....i don't know..it's probably just me...but i'll check it again...thanks for the tip;)

[Paranoidd]

Hrmm..

I like Vader...what genre would they fall under?

[Bartender]

^LOL...thanks...the thing is i've already read that and still....i don't know..it's probably just me...but i'll check it again...thanks for the tip;)

If you've read it, and are still confused, downloading a few songs from each suggested band, and listening to the difference, is the way to go.

[Baodegoth]

thanks bartender i'll do that..

[superpeer]

It's odd how this is called the "off-topic thread" and yet it's followed by "No spam allowed!". A bit hypocritical? Oh well, it's good to see one of these in here.

Aww, get out of here, you. :angry:

[superpeer]

Bartender, you've ordered 20 cd's?

And I thought my 18 was much.

[irish_guitar_god]

where the hell do you get the money to buy 20 cds, in ireland thats about 400 euro which is the equivalent of about 400 dollars.are there any cheap sites to buy cds from?

[Paranoidd]

400 Euro is more than a paycheck for me.

CD's are crazy expensive in Europe, I don't know whats up with you people.

You'd be paying around 10 euros (20 Canadian dollars) here.

Heh, try ordering from a Canadian site. Or Ebay, I get CD's really cheap there.

what canadian site can i (we) order from? is the shipping expensive?

[Paranoidd]

I don't know exactly which sites, sorry.

*shrug* I guess you could google it.

Seriously, try ebay. Alot of times you can' get CD's for less than 10 euro, with shipping. Depending where you are.

[superpeer]

I'm spending like 230 euros on my 18 cd's.

Reasonable, I think.

[Paranoidd]

Depends what CD's.

It could be Shakira. Who knows? :confused:

:lol:

[Bartender]

Well my twenty CDs are costing me about £6.66 each, because the store I was ordering from was having a sale. I just explained to my mam that the sale would run out (it ends 31st of August) before I would have any additional money, so she let me borrow money from her in advance.

[superpeer]

Nah, not shakira.

Mostly extreme metal and a No doubt cd. :o

[Adam Jones is GOD]

I spent £16 on Will Haven 'Carpe Diem' (10 tracks) the same day I spent £10 on Reuben 'Racecar is racecar backwards' (16 tracks). Both same lenght. Just show you how bad CD prices in England can be

[Paranoidd]

When I was in Italy a couple weeks ago I went into a CD store and nearly shat myself. Crazy prices. But I did get 3 remastered Velvet Underground CD's for 15 Euros. Only CD's I bought there.

[Paranoidd]

We get ripped of for everything over here :angry:. Prices in places like the US are so much cheaper, for clothes and stuff.

It's true...the prices between Canada/Euros are nearly equivalent. I mean it like, if a shirt here costs $30, it costs 30 euros. And 1 euro = 1.8 Canadian, or something like that. I was pissed, I couldn't buy anything in Italy.

Well, thats what you get for living in Europe.

[Bartender]

We get ripped of for everything over here :angry:. Prices in places like the US are so much cheaper, for clothes and stuff.

Cd prices in US chain store are almost always as horrendous as they are in English chain stores. If anything, the stores here seem to have better sales than American stores, even if the regular prices are just as bad.

I didn't follow Jondur on the Candlemass cd, but I made it up By getting the Gallery.

Oh and I know these are a lot of cd's, but I figured to save on sending costs and order them all at once, I've been wanting these cd's for ages, but no stores sell them.
I'm spending about 1/5 of the money I earned with summer job. :thumb:


Oh and for the non Euro users :

€9.99 = $12.35 = £6.67
€14.99 = $18.53 = £10.01
€14.49 = $17.91 = £9.6
€7.77 = $9.6 = £5.19

Dropkick Murphys - Sing loud, sing proud €7.77

I've not even seen some singles that cheap. At the best, the cheapest album I can get here if £7, but its usually something like Korn's first one :upset:
I should start ordering on-line more, do you get a resonable discount for buying in batch?

[Paranoidd]

15 euros for Reign in Blood!

Don't you guys have used CD stores or pawnshops? I got RIB for $2, nearly mint.

[superpeer]

Meh, no pawnshops as far as I know, and the used CD storesusually doesn't have a lot of good things.

[Bartender]

Yeah, I've never seen Reign in Blood offline for cheaper than £16 over here.

[manuscriptreplica]

I got about 12 CDs for $150, which is about $12.50 a cd. Which is ridiculously cheap in Australia.

[Dancin' Man]

I generally buy offline. The free CD clubs work well too if you make sure to check the box saying you don't want anything extra.
The big problem with both of those if finding what I want. Post-rock is really hard to find cheap (Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Explosions in the Sky) and that's all I've wnated lately. Oh well.

[Bartender]

I got about 12 CDs for $150, which is about $12.50 a cd. Which is ridiculously cheap in Australia.

That is very cheap, from what little I know of Australian dollars. br3ad seems to get incredibly cheap used CDs all the time (like $1-$5). Which 12 were they?

[guitrguy]

I get my cds from best buy :lol:

[Dancin' Man]

Best Buy is pretty cheap and a pretty good selection.

[Kingofdudes]

Best Buy is pretty cheap and a pretty good selection.

yep I was surprised they had children of bodom there.

now its time for physics :wave: yayy test!

[Dancin' Man]

They generally have a rack of CD's there for $7 or $8. They generally suck but the fact that they have it is cool.

[Paranoidd]

Sometimes chain stores have pretty good deals.

For example they have a bunch of CD's on @ 2 for $30 Canadian (About 25 American or 15 Euro).

I picked up Lateralus and Number of the Beast, and they had alot more good CD's in that rack.

CD's are just too pricey...and then they wonder why people burn CD's.

[Dancin' Man]

I hate having burned CDs. It just doesn't feel the same as having the real thing with album art and the original case.

[Paranoidd]

I have alot of retail CD's, but I would not be able to buy all the CD's I have burnt. I have too many bills to pay.

[superpeer]

Yeah, I hate burned CD's.


In Fact, I have 70% real cd's and 30% copied, I think.

[Bartender]

I also hate burned CDs. I have one copied CD, and that's Weezer's Green Album, which I was given without asking for it :)

[Dancin' Man]

Alot of times what I do to get CD's I want is get free ones form a radiostation (promo copies) that I don't really want but get a ton of them and then trade them with my brother for the CD's of his I want. Works wel.

Needs to be known outside the death heads.

[Dancin' Man]

Won't let me listen.

[Paranoidd]

Are they like dance remixes or something?

[Bartender]

EDIT: ^yeah.

Won't let me listen.

Well, they're dance remixes of classic metal/hard rock songs. The concept alone is horrific and hilarious. Actually hearing them is just a bonus :)

[Paranoidd]

Yeah, unfortunately, a good 90% of dance music is utter shyte (I like dance music, just FYI), but alot of no-talent producers have the balls to sample a song, apply a one note bassline, some distorted strings and call it a "remix"

Its ridiculous. You should hear what some of these people have "remixed"...

Another Brick in the Wall...California Dreaming...Riders on the Storm <-- actually that one isn't bad.

I used to DJ house music, and I still produce some (those production skills come in handy for recording my own music :thumb: )

But most dance music is shyte, period.

[Bartender]

Have they announced that they're doing it?

[Dancin' Man]

INTERRUPTION! I just changed my AIM screen name again. I have a habit of doing this. This one is my favorite - I Like To Act Gay. It would've been Gay Tendencies but that was taken. Oh well, resume conversation.

[Paranoidd]

Hacked account or just random rant?

[Paranoidd]

:upset:

I can just imagine Fieldy doing a slap bassline on the song...oh man I feel sick.

[Dancin' Man]

I hate covers. They're so lame. I don't care how good it is, it sucks. Remixes are cool though because it's like adding onto the old song, not just redoing it.

[Paranoidd]

Not if its a bad remix. There are some good ones. PQM did a nice version of Welcome to the Machine.

There are some good covers though, for sure. Tools cover of No Quarter? Awesome.

There is no god!

[superpeer]

I know they're playing it on tour, and I heard it might be on their Greatest Hits. But I'm not sure about that.

I heard them doing it live. It wasn't that bad.

At least they did the solo.

[Dancin' Man]

Congrats on 8k Superpeer

I really don't like covers that leave out things like solos (almost all Lynyrd Skynrd covers)

[Rage Against The Lavigne]

Litnin took part in just as much flaming as anyone else. He would also trick people into getting banned by making spam threads and banning everyone who posted in them. He's not exactly a shining example of a mod.

He was funny though :p

There were better ones, of course, I was using him as an example of a 'non-wimpy' mod.

[RNR]

Limp bizkit at the ghey mtv metallica think. Good god they left out all of the solos :(

I like the Jeff Healey band's (my new favorite band) covers. Not only does he make it his own, the guitar work is actually better on the cover. And if the song doesn't have a solo he adds one.

[superpeer]

Sum 41 did a good Metallica cover.

[superpeer]

Congrats on 8k Superpeer

I really don't like covers that leave out things like solos (almost all Lynyrd Skynrd covers)

Thanks. :cool:

[RNR]

Sum 41 did a good Metallica cover.

I thought I was the only one who thought that.

Of course I think that their own music is crap. But they did a nice cover of master of puppets ;)

edit: happy 8000th.

Fear the peer!

[superpeer]

I like their own music too. But there they showed they have some talent, which I already knew, obviously.

[Dancin' Man]

They started playing Metal covers is why I think. They let a little more metal get into their second album and overall they're my favorite pop punk band.

[RNR]

I heard that their next album would be iron maiden-ish. :amaze:

[Dancin' Man]

I was just very dissappointed. I heard the song Push It by Static X and was thinking "any song named Pushit has to be cool since Tool's song is"
Unfortunatly it is not living up to expectations.

[superpeer]

Yeah, I'm definitely checking out the new Sum 41 when it comes out.

[Bartender]

Though I don't own any albums, I actually like Sum 41 as well. I think they'll develop into something even better.

[Paranoidd]

Man there is nothing better then taking a good dump.

Sorry, completely random comment. I'm just feeling really good right now. :D

[Dancin' Man]

I can think of something better :naughty:

[superpeer]

Oh no you di'nt

[Dancin' Man]

eek! Ebonics!

[superpeer]

Someone tell me something.

[RNR]

Man there is nothing better then taking a good dump.



I know what you mean :)

[Dancin' Man]

Everyone, go download a few songs off the grey album. Search DJ Dangermouse. You'll have no trouble finding it. Prepare to like rap again.

[Bartender]

I would do, but someone is taking up my connection with a download.

[Dancin' Man]

Sorry :upset:

[Dancin' Man]

DAMMIT! I have to revoke this one....I deleted Windows Media Player because it sucked (for me) and this file won't change type.

[Bartender]

Oh. Do you want to download another one from me?

[Paranoidd]

Bumpige.

[Kingofdudes]

I hate you people that are still enjoying summer

[Per Ardua Ad Astra]

Man there is nothing better then taking a good dump.

Can you say....Combination?





:(

[Rage Against The Lavigne]

i've got 20 days of summer left... :)

[RNR]

i've got 20 days of summer left... :)
me too. Go us.

I'm looking forward to getting back. This is boring.

[Kingofdudes]

i got -9 days left till school yay!

[Captain Jack Sparrow]

Yeah, I'm definitely checking out the new Sum 41 when it comes out.

I have the new single "Bleed" if you want to give it a listen. It's not half bad.

[Bartender]

I don't know when I'm due to start Uni (provided I get in), but I think it's sometime midway through September

[Bartender]

Leeds (sorry for late reply, I went away to watch a film pretty much straight after posting that).

[Dancin' Man]

There is only one school I'm currently interested in attending for college (but I'll find others). Berklee School of Music in Boston. For composition or audio recording (I'll never be good enough at guitar :upset: )

Meh, I'm only a junior this year so I have some time to figure it out. If I could find a school in NYC I liked or California though......

[Dancin' Man]

Hot ****. I just heard Ad Astra by Arcturus. This song kicks ***. The strings are great. Awesome song. To make this post relevant, anyone else heard them?

[Ve Das]

Yep,not exactly my favorite band,though.You should talk to Per Ad about em ;)

[Riva]

Speaking of liking things, I like Fat Bottomed Girls by Queen. I'm going to sleep now.

[RideTheSpiral]

So how about that off-topic Rock/Metal chat?

[Bartender]

Yeah, how about it. How are things in your part of the world?

And yes, Per Ardua's a bit of an Arcturus fanatic. I've heard three tracks by them, I think, two on a CD he sent me and one for Forced Listening. Good, but I'm not inspired to buy anything by them yet.

[RideTheSpiral]

Should I buy a laptop or a proper computer?

[Bartender]

Unless you're planning on doing lots of work on buses and trains and things, I'd buy a proper computer. Laptops are apparently a bastard to upgrade, so they fall behind fairly swiftly.

[Toozey]

Theres no room in a laptop to put new parts in and they are just gay to use anyway.

[Bartender]

^Yeah. My laptop broke after a year or so anyway.

Toozey - Supernal was out of Forever Advancing...... Legions. Bastards.

[RideTheSpiral]

These are good points. What I was thinking was getting the laptop then setting it up with a proper monitor, keyboard etc. I just like laptops because they're convenient, and if I go travelling next year I can take it easy and never have to leave mx. :p

[Bartender]

Medopalis, are you trying for University this year?

[RideTheSpiral]

Some good priorities. ;) I really like my laptop (courtesy of Toshiba). Good idea on setting it up with a monitor though, I think that's what my parents have. Could cost a lot though...



About $2,500 for a good setup I think.

[Rage Against The Lavigne]

Leeds (sorry for late reply, I went away to watch a film pretty much straight after posting that).

Course?


/late interest/

[Bartender]

Philosophy. Are you Universitying this year?

No, I've still got 2 or so years before I have to worry about that!

Ah okay. Just wondered, since you asked me.

[Paranoidd]

Philosophy 0wns.

[Bartender]

Nah, I didn't do an A-Level in it. My AS choices were German, History, Psychology and Biology; I dropped Biology. I would've preferred, looking back, to take RS/philosophy over Biology, but no matter. Few philosophy courses require an A-level in Philosophy anyway.

[Bartender]

Philosophy 0wns.

Maybe so, but I hold no illusions that it's not a "proper" course.

[Paranoidd]

"proper" in what way?

[Bartender]

"proper" in what way?

It's unlikely to get me a job, and it's one of the courses people traditionally sneer at as a skive. I'm looking forward to it though, I applied for courses based on what I thought would be interesting/fun, rather than useful.

[Paranoidd]

If I didn't take a philosophy class in high school, my life would be very different right now.

I think its a worthwhile course, regardless of its value in the workplace.

[Bartender]

I know what you mean...it's one of the few subjects that seems really interesting, and yet challenging at the same time to me. Unlike stuff like physics, which is just plain challenging. The main reason I might not do it next year is to do history & ecomonics instead, and then try and take it up again at university.

*realises school starts in less than 2 weeks, and I really should have chosen subjects now. :upset:*

Are you choosing subjects for AS? If you are, I'd recommend Psychology, unless you're specifically against it for some reason - I chose it because I thought it'd be interesting, and it turned out to be really fun to do (helped by the fact one of the teachers I had for it was great), and really easy; since you haven't done it before, they have to build it from the ground up, so I found it pretty easy to catch on to.

Anyway, you can always drop it for A2 if you don't like it.

[Bartender]

If I didn't take a philosophy class in high school, my life would be very different right now.

I think its a worthwhile course, regardless of its value in the workplace.

Yeah, that's my thinking too, but it doesn't stop peoples reactions. "Philosophy?!"

[Paranoidd]

Hah...

It was such a fun class...at least it incited intelligent discussion and provoked thought. Beats the hell out of economics. *shudder*

[Bartender]

I find that if you mention stuff like that, people look shocked, but then become quite interested. And I'm not doing A levels, but the Baccalaureate (sp?) instead. The only problem with that is, I can only do 2 of economics, philosophy, history and economics, which are all subjects I really want to do.

Oh okay. Let me know what you end up choosing to do.

[Bartender]

Hah...

It was such a fun class...at least it incited intelligent discussion and provoked thought. Beats the hell out of economics. *shudder*

My only experience with actual philosophy lessons was horrible. Firstly, it was a compulsory class, for a third of the school year, so only 5 people were wanting to actually discuss the subject; the other 15 or so were just there because they had to be.

Secondly, the teacher was a languages teacher who fancied himself as a philosophy teacher (the actual philosophy teacher, an absolute legend called Dr Roffe, left the previous year to teach English in France). The material we talked about was interesting, and the written material he gave us was good enough, but I was amazed at how he managed to make such a potentially interesting subject so dull/inept.

Still, I read books, so I'm still interested in the actual subject.

[Paranoidd]

I'd never have begun writing a book if I didn't take philisophy class. My class was great...some days I'd sleep because I worked 9 hours the night before, and the teacher would be like "Rob wake up" and I'd say "well sir, I believe that everything is subjective. This being so, I don't know if you are real or Tn fact, this is too much for me to handle right now, so I'll just put my head down." ZzzZZZz.

Teacher stood there with mouth open and chalk in his hand for like 10 seconds. 0wned.

Yeah that was nothing though...my school was pretty ghetto. Guy I know got expelled for sexually harassing a teacher. Teacher got fired for throwing a chair at this guy because the guy said "hey sir, could I bang your wife?". The guy didn't get in trouble though :confused:

Teacher: "tuck in your shirt" (I went to catholic school, we had uniforms)
Student: "Fcuk you sir."
Teacher: "Go to the office."
Student: "Whatever, I'm going to go smoke a joint."
Teacher: "Fine, just get out."

It's not just for the projects anymore kids...even in suburban middle class Canada...

I hate going to a religious school, not only do they push religion down your throats but they're so strict about everything you can barely walk down a corridor without getting pulled. We do make a thing of asking one teacher wether he's hit, or sold his baby on Ebay :lol: There's barely any teachers that will let you get away with anything. And they all think I'm either suicidal or a Satanist.

[Paranoidd]

It's funny though because you don't have to be catholic to go to a catholic school. so I had school with athiests, muslims, sikhs, everything. And there was a religion class. Imagine all these people having catholicism homework. Too funny.

I had one amazing religion teacher, and only because it was "world religion" (as opposed to looking up bible passages, we were learning about all the religions around the world.) I showed up 45 minutes late every single day, slept in class, and still got a 92%. I loved that guy.

I'm sure our RE techer is a paedophile, he asks people if they chew their lips in their sleep and what they've got under their shirts (this was a girl). He also HAS to be right, about everything even if everyone including him knows he's made it all up, all we ever talk about is Christianity except when he goes off on a tangent about his life (we have about 5 differing reports on his birthplace all from him). I know people who used to be Christians nd have been completely put off by religious schools so I personally don't believe in them.

BBQs are great fun as well. We had one to celebrate/commiserate the end of sixth form, about 20-odd of us, and myself and a friend of mine (who also likes burning things), experimented with cooking various things on the grill.

[RNR]

a hah FIGURES. my theory stays true

Nicely done ;)

[Dancin' Man]

I can light a fire in my mouth. I am cool for that. All you need a normal butane lighter and to know how to close off your throat.

[Bartender]

Various things including... :p

Well, we were cooking burgers for food, but soon got bored with that, so we tried cooking the buns as well. Then we tried cooking the burgers already in the buns, but that didn't work too well. We cooked a lichee (no idea of the spelling) fruit for about 3 hours, and it was still surpisingly nice afterwards.

Pretty much anything of low enough value was cooked at some point. We had a speary-prongy thing for lifting and prodding what was cooking, and I snapped the handle.

EDIT: oh, we also cooked a sausage for the same three hours as that fruit..we could use it to write in charcoal on the wall afterwards.

[lilpete86]

Have you ever tried jumping a fire when drunk???



Don't do it :upset:

[Dancin' Man]

Enough to type

[Grammar Fuhrer]

I know someone who farted on a large bonfire to see if he could make a big explosion type thing.......he had blisters on his butt for weeks. :lol:

[Dancin' Man]

I wish I could get my hands on some really strong liquor so I can learn to make fireballs. I hear kerosene works but I'd rather go for rum or brandy

[lilpete86]

How many limbs left?

enough

I've got reasonably long hair, I've never had any problems yet.

[Till_Lindeman001]

while on the topic of fire, don't play Jump in the Fire by Metallica while really drunk because you start to think you can actually do it :lol:

[Kingofdudes]

im just unlucky then and/or bad with fires :upset:

[Paranoidd]

I've got a bottle of 180 proof Bacardi. I haven't even opened yet, I'm afraid it will kill me.

[Bartender]

It probably will. Absinthe comes with a warning label saying "Drinking this neat may kill you" (which, by the way, is unassailably cool).

[Paranoidd]

Absinthe? Heres my story about that stuff:

My friend realized Absinthe is legal in Canada
My friend chugged absinthe.
My friend went to the hospital.
My friend found out she burnt a hole in her stomach.

My friend didn't save me any absinthe.

Bitch.

[Bartender]

Yeah, well chugging absinthe probably wasn't the best of ideas :lol:

It's nice in small doses though.

[Paranoidd]

Pour a little bit on a sugar cube, caramelize the sugar cube (by burning it, obviously), then mix that with water, and drink. Gets rid of the alcohol but maintains the worm woody goodness :D

[evilmenhavenosongs]

I have a bottle that that I bought in France, that my mum keeps an eye on :upset:

[Paranoidd]

I've never tried it, but I'm dying to.

I wanna try that salvia stuff, or whatever its called. It's legal :thumb:

[evilmenhavenosongs]

I've never tried it, but I'm dying to.

Yeah, I want some too. I suspect that I had some weaker form of it once, but it was in with a lot of other things so I'm not sure.

[Paranoidd]

You can order it on Ebay, apparently.

[Dancin' Man]

I've never tried it, but I'm dying to.

There was a front page article in my towns newspaper about it. There's a store that is very proud of it. My mom got really pissed when I jokingly asked her if I could try some.

[Bartender]

You can order it on Ebay, apparently.

Yeah, you can.

Absinthe sour is my preferred method for absinthe. Little shot glass, half absinthe, then some sugar, water and Jif lemon stuff, and then down it. Quite nice, but overall I prefer Aftershock :(

What did he do? I want the whole story

[Kingofdudes]

What did he do? I want the whole story

Actually 2 birds with one stone. Feedthegods and Demonteddybear revived that "I LOVE INVADER ZIM" thread and started spammming it up, so I reported their asses and now they are banned, this will prolly only be for like 3 days though.

[Dancin' Man]

Crap. I'll continue my crusade then. Perm ban for that bitch.

I love this thread. We can talk about anything and so long as it has a subject semi relevant to anything, it's not spam.

[Kingofdudes]

Crap. I'll continue my crusade then. Perm ban for that bitch.

Can I join you in this crusade?

[Dancin' Man]

Of course. Anyone who wants him gone can help. We need to make it a club. Join Team Ban Feedthegods looks good to me. Suggestions are welcome though.

[Kingofdudes]

alright i got the title down :thumb:

[Dancin' Man]

BAUAHAH!!!! wait....is that a zim laugh? Nah, just evil scientist/terrorist.

Anyone else up for joining Team Ban Feedthegods?

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

sure why not...gods can get their own food

what must i do to join?

[rockdude]

why do you want this dude banned?

[Kingofdudes]

Nice, Welcome :thumb:

Just change your user title to "Join Team Ban Feedthegod"

[Dancin' Man]

why do you want this dude banned?

Because he's an annoying know nothing spammer. Plus I just don't like him.

[Kingofdudes]

pretty much that, whenever he finds out someone is a girl on here he starts to hit on them cyber style. Also, he is a hypocritical "goth".

[rockdude]

ok, i'll join then

[Kingofdudes]

looks like we got an army now :thumb:

[Dancin' Man]

We grow strong. I'll start a comic book. I will depict Feedthegods as Invader Zim. I will depict the army as the super friends.

[Kingofdudes]

We grow strong. I'll start a comic book. I will depict Feedthegods as Invader Zim. I will depict the army as the super friends.

Comic? Im thinking prime time sitcom :cool:

[rockdude]

how about both?

[scared6of6metro]

so Feedthegods hits on girls cyber stlye ever tho he dont even no their age?

[halfdeadhippo]

I'm in. His spam and close-minded opinions were starting to bug me too, and now I find out he's hitting on chicks over the internet. Bastard.

Anyways, we can make it into a spinoff of the MX episodes: The R&M Adventures.

[SoleFactionBassist]

I'm at work and I wish I had an AK-47 (I don't work at the post office btw).

I'm listening to The Wall so that makes it a little better.

Uh...what do you people do for a living? (The ones that aren't 14).

I'm 15 and I work at the Horse Races and at a Charcoal Chicken, other than that I'm doing year 10 at Secondary School.

[SoleFactionBassist]

BAUAHAH!!!! wait....is that a zim laugh? Nah, just evil scientist/terrorist.

Anyone else up for joining Team Ban Feedthegods?

Done. Changing Name Now!

[HNLzero]

list some examples why feedthegods should be banned and i'll change my profile

[halfdeadhippo]

I just went back through feedthegods's posts and I can't find any cyberhitting on female posters. Maybe I didn't go back far enough, or something. All I could see was spam and arguments with Fast Fingers. I'm changing my status back now, because he's already been banned. What more do we want?

[Bartender]

I'm happy with my current status, so you guys'll have to make do without me.

I think I'm addicted to Manowar (the band, not the jellyfish).

[Paranoidd]

Anybody got a good way to get sent home from work and not get in trouble?

I can't pretend I'm sick, I'm saving that for tomorrow.

[Dancin' Man]

mmmmm jelly......

Paranoiddd - Punch your boss. They'll tell you not to come back tomorrow either. That means you can keep saving the sick excuse.

[Paranoidd]

:lol:

I should tell him my ulcer is bothering me and if he doesn't let me go home, I'll throw up on his shoe. That might work.

I just put on an acid bath CD so I should last at least another hour.

[Dancin' Man]

I think I've found the only genres I cannot get into at all.
Grindcore
Hardcore
(Metalcore is ok though)
Country
Oldies

Anyone else have these same ones? Different ones maybe?

[Paranoidd]

Did you try listening to hatebreed?

[Dancin' Man]

I can't stand hatebreed. It's the vocals. I don't mind growling or screaming so long as I know the singer can sing too (Killswitch Engage) or if the growler is simply amazing at it (Lord Worm). I'll try some more if you have suggestions though.

[Bartender]

I haven't yet found a genre I haven't liked at least something in, I think.

[Dancin' Man]

Country?

[Bartender]

Johnny Cash.

[Paranoidd]

Even some country aint bad. I just don't like the bitchy "mywifeleftmemydogdiedmypickuptruckbrokedown." songs.

I'm with Bartender. I like something about everything.

[Paranoidd]

Hmmm fast fingers I'm not too much into hardcore, the only band I really know is Hatebreed :/

Uhhh theres this band Terror that toured with hatebreed, but if you don't like hatebreed you won't like terror, they sound similar.

So you just aren't really into growling at all?

[Dancin' Man]

Art pop. You don't seem like someone who would enjoy it at all. Repetitive and annoying. I still like it though.

Or Polyphonic Spree, whatever the hel they are. I know I hate them. Anyone else?

[Bartender]

I'm with Bartender. I like something about everything.

Yeah, though I'm not sure yet. Try me with some of the less common genres, I'll see if I like anything from them.

Maybe "jungle". I don't even know what it is, to be honest.

[Paranoidd]

Have you ever heard Carcass?

[Bartender]

Art pop. You don't seem like someone who would enjoy it at all. Repetitive and annoying. I still like it though.

I haven't heard any Polyphonic Spree. What do you mean by art pop? (examples if possible)

[Dancin' Man]

I think it's african drums and basically all around wierd instruments playing world music/hip hop/tribal stuff.

[Dancin' Man]

I haven't heard any Polyphonic Spree. What do you mean by art pop? (examples if possible)

Little indie bands that use lots of synth but not in a good way. It's like rap beats without the bass and nothing but cheesy melodies on top.

[Paranoidd]

Yeah, though I'm not sure yet. Try me with some of the less common genres, I'll see if I like anything from them.

Maybe "jungle". I don't even know what it is, to be honest.

Haha.

Jungle eh? Hrmmm I haven't been in that scene in a little while. I can't even think of tunes to give you...it's really quick beats, big basslines...all electronic (though I've seen drummers do it live). Alot of times theres an MC doing freestyling over it...I don't know if it would be your thing.

Theres "jungle" and "drum n bass", they are similar but different.

Theres alot of crap out there but I can usually find something good from every genre.

[Paranoidd]

Is that like Maroon 5?

Because I want to slowly murder each member of that band.

[Dancin' Man]

No. Maroon 5 has guitars and bass. I'm talking Nelly - the rap + happy indie vocals

[Bartender]

Haha.

Yeah, I know drum'n'bass. A couple of metal bands I like (namely Skindred and The Meads of Asphodel) use elements of it in their music, and it's pretty good. I don't think I could stand it on it's own though.

Don't think I've ever heard anything like that.

[Bartender]

Have you ever heard Carcass?

Was that directed at me?

[Dancin' Man]

I think me and no I haven't. Should I?
I'll try to find some art pop for you Bartender.

[Bartender]

You should probably check out Carcass, yeah. They've been through various stages of music, you're likely to like something - they started as grind (one of the originators), then went to death metal, then melodic death, then pretty much heavy metal before splitting.

And, thanks.

EDIT: all unclean vocals, by the way, though they became less so over the years.

[Dancin' Man]

Cool, I'll look into them. Thanks for the vox warning.

Right now though, I'm downloading a crapload of Moby.

[superpeer]

Me too, I like something from every genre. :cool:


Edit: /late

[Dancin' Man]

ALERT: Topic change (all I seem to be good for)
New band - Stabbing Westward. You may or may not have heard them. They remind me of a poppy NiN. Pretty good band overall but maybe too formulaic for most die hards and too mellow for metalheads. Worth looking into.

[halfdeadhippo]

My playlist right now:

Cardiak Academy - Clearer Vision
Cryptopsy - Slit Your Guts
Dream Theater - Space-Dye Vest
Frank Zappa - Stink-Foot
James Brown - Play that Funky Music
Jason Becker - Perpetual Burn
Jurassic 5 - What's Golden
Misfits - Last Caress
Nine Inch Nails - Sin
Oasis - Don't Look Back in Anger
Rascal Flatts - Prayin' for Daylight (it's a recommendation from a friend, but I haven't heard it yet)
Symphony X - Fallen
The Kingsmen - Louie Louie
The Pink Panther Theme
The Sex Pistols - Anarchy in the U.K.
The Zelda Theme (played on guitar)
Yes - Roundabout

I think it's safe to say that I like a little bit of everything too.

[superpeer]

I've heard Stabbing Westward, didn't like it a lot.

[Bartender]

A friend of mine went through a phase of liking Stabbing Westward a few months back, but the songs he showed me I wasn't too keen on. I like NIN though. Recommendations please?

[halfdeadhippo]

I've heard the name, Stabbing Westward, but I've never actually heard any songs. Do you have any recommendations?

[Dancin' Man]

Save Yourself, Haunting Me, The Thing I Hate, What do I Have to do

In order of recommendation.

[Dancin' Man]

Basically when I want to sample a new band, I download all I can by them so I can get a real feel for their overall sound. When you just get one or two songs, especially singles, you run into problems when you buy the album. What a blessing a cable connection has been.

[rocknrollstar5]

good chioce with oasis and the sex pistols.

They both rock. well the pistols dont anymore but they're still bloody good

Yeah, but I'm on 56K. And thanks, I'll make a note of those tracks; not enough time to download them now, as I'm going to my dads soon.

[superpeer]

I've never been keen on NIN or industrial in general.


I do like Rammstein though.

[rocknrollstar5]

Does anyone actually like stabbing westward.
They're ****e

[Dancin' Man]

Rammstein is the ultimate driving music.

[Dancin' Man]

Does anyone actually like stabbing westward.
They're ****e

Obviously I do otherwise I wouldn't have said I did. C'mon man, I like this thread and want it to stick around. Don't spam it up.

[halfdeadhippo]

Does anyone actually like stabbing westward.
They're ****e

Why don't you let other people form their own opinions?

[rocknrollstar5]

sorry guys

[superpeer]

So, back on topic. :eek:

[Dancin' Man]

New funniest song ever. Moby - The Ultimate **** Song. Not because of lyrics but because of what happens to the tempo. I wouldn't exactly call it a good song but it's funny if you have the extra time.

[superpeer]

Meh, I hardly listen to songs solely for their funniness.

[Dancin' Man]

The song can only be described one way.

Person beating off with a cocain drip in their arm.

[Paranoidd]

Yay back from lunch.

Mmmmmmm poutine.

Fast Fingers, I highly recommend Acid Bath to you. Probably one of my favorite bands ever (even though they only had two full length releases). They have such a distinct, diverse sound. They have elements of hardcore, sludge, death, and sometimes go very melodic. They stopped making music after the bass player died, but they were so, so good.

[Bartender]

I wonder why bass players always die early. Acid Bath's did, Roger Patterson (Atheist) did, Cliff Burton did.

[Paranoidd]

Cliff and Acid Bath's player both in automobile incidents too. Odd.

[Paranoidd]

now playing: Carcass - Heartwork. I love the guitar work on this album. The melodic switches are so nice.

[halfdeadhippo]

I wonder why bass players always die early. Acid Bath's did, Roger Patterson (Atheist) did, Cliff Burton did.

I can think of more singer/songwriters than bass players who died early. Morrison, Hendrix, Joplin, SRV, Cobain, whatsisface from AC/DC...

[Bartender]

Cliff and Acid Bath's player both in automobile incidents too. Odd.

So was Patterson :-/

He was only 22 as well, and already an unbelievable bass player.

[Bartender]

I can think of more singer/songwriters than bass players who died early. Morrison, Hendrix, Joplin, SRV, Cobain, whatsisface from AC/DC...

Bon Scott from AC/DC I think. Yeah I know, just bass players was always the one that struck me, for some reason.

[Dancin' Man]

All I need to do now is die young so I fit in with my peers :rolleyes:

[superpeer]

Tony Choy was a brilliant replacement though.

[Dancin' Man]

Isn't Entwhistle dead too?

[Paranoidd]

Yeah, last year. He was pretty old though.

[halfdeadhippo]

Well before this thread, the only bass player dying young that I knew about was Cliff Burton.

And thanks for the name. I couldn't remember it for some reason.

[Paranoidd]

Dying from an OD is so cliche these days.

Kurdt Cobain tried to OD, but I think he realized he'd look like a *****, so he ate a flurry of buckshot.

[Dancin' Man]

Seriously, have a cool death. Disembowelment is making a comeback I hear.

[halfdeadhippo]

And what about deceased drummers? Bonham and Moon are all I can think of right now, but I'm sure there's more.

[Bartender]

Seriously, have a cool death. Disembowelment is making a comeback I hear.

Defenestration > Disembowelment.

Tony Choy was a brilliant replacement though.

That he was, though I think Patterson wrote all the bass parts for Unquestionable Presence before dying.

I thought just a while ago, if Patterson hadn't died, Choy wouldn't have left Cynic, and then Sean Malone wouldn't have gotten his break playing for them.

Anyway, I'm going to my dads now. See you all tomorrow.
