I got a hat with ear flaps!

PIX SOON KTHX

[Scott Herren]

Pantera sucks. But it is still sad when someone gets wiped off the planet like that. Even if his name is dimebag.

[Tomahawk]

Pantera rawk. Y'all are totally un-metal.

[Zappa]

How surprising it is that indie kids don't like pantera...

Dial M for Mother****er = best album title ever


/random

[YDload]

I liked Pantera! Of course, they have a Nirvana-like curse of influencing hundreds of downright shitty copycat bands, but that's mostly in the vocal area ("RAAAAA!"). None of them could play guitar better than Dimebag though. In fact, I think even some older metal shredders like Kerry King of Slayer were inferior to him.

[Scott Herren]

It gives me a headache. :upset:

[crazyGUITARnDRUMgal]

since dimebag is from close where i live ,all the radio stations/news channels are playing Pantera..its awful.

[Wanker]

Nice hat.

[Master Arkam Kannon]

i like pantera a bit, it wasnt all screaming, most of the songs had good structure and had some enjoyable factor to it.

[Wanker]

I never really listen to 'em. But it's still a tragedy for someone to die while they're doing what they love most. :(

[Tangy zizzle]

Pantera were great.

Damageplan not so much, but still.

[Little Man being Erased]

I never liked Pantera, nor will I ever like them, but it is a tragedy. Imagine how his brother must feel, watching him being shot dead on stage.

[guitar, bass, sax]

I have been banned for no good reason

[Bartender]

You're Zmev?

[guitar, bass, sax]

Correct

[Bartender]

Well, then how do you figure? You've been given a a possible reason why you were banned (though I don't know if it is the actual reason), and the ban's only for three days anyway.

[guitar, bass, sax]

Well I just think about the petition thread I made, soo many crappier threads get made in the pit daily and thats what its for anyways. Beyond that I dont see any bannable offences and if that thread was the reason why not just ban me upon its closing? Why wait 5 days?

[Tapeworm]

Woah, I didn't know that the shooting on stage was Dimebag's. Geez.

That sucks. I kinda liked Pantera.

Woohoo! I just got 2 Uni offers, both from Bckinghamshire Chilterns. BCC for Music Industry Management with Studio Production, and DD for the same but with Live Production. Yay. Also, driving test at 3.27. I am pooing myself right now, coz ive just realized ive forgotten how to drive.

[Little Man being Erased]

Hey what's goin on in this place. I'm bored as hell. I'm looking forward to my Uni graduation on Monday and going back to my hometown for a couple of weeks over christmas, before I start work in the new year.

[Wanker]

Congrats on the graduating :chug:

I've got this weekend, half a week of classes and then half a week of finals and then I'm outta here for christmas break. My computer and MX are coming with me this time though :)

[Wanker]

GAHHHH, where is everyone today?!?

Leave some love ;)

[Plainlazy]

o yeh!!! I passed! 8 minors. Not great, but who really cares?

[Wanker]

what

[Iai]

'8 minors' probably means a driving test. Minors being minor errors.

I thought you were only allowed a maximum of 5 minors, otherwise you failed?

[Wanker]

Oh, ok. I was slightly confused.

I don't understand how anyone can even get one minor.

On the other hand, my driving test consisted of 4 right turns and one three-point-turn

:D

[Reaganista]

I was allowed 2 minor and 0 moderate errors on mine.

I scored a perfect.

In England you can have upto 16 minors, although 3 of the same one is a fail. Also the test is 40 mins long, including fast bits, and backstreets with cars parked everywhere, so there isnt room to fit down them. Also we have to do 2 manuevers, i had reverse bay park and reverse round a corner. fortunately didnt get parallel park coz i really suck at that. Whats the system for other countries then? I know Auz is fairly similar, but apart from that...

Thanks, I guess, but would I really be on MX if that's what I'd just found out? :)

EDIT: Actually yeah, I probably would be :( It seems to be my response to most events, good or bad.

The point is, I'm not, it was just a shock, because she's actually younger than me (19 in January, I think), and I don't understand why she'd want to so young. I suppose I don't ever particularly want to, so it's always slightly difficult for me to get, but still.

Hey everyone, I'm (hopefully) getting a bunch of Do Make Say Think and other post rock albums for Xmas. I'm also hoping to write a butt-load of reviews for 'em too. So look out in the CD Review forum for them.

They're a very, very strange band. I really have no idea how to describe them.

I guess they're a slightly more sparce Do Make Say Think.

Sorry for the bad description :upset:

Somebody made a Primus thread. I'd been having a pissabout with someone in another thread over what one would say to insult Primus (since 'Primus Sucks' is a good thing). So we went into that thread and I posted Primus Blows.

I so still haven't heard anything by him,

[Wanker]

Please culture us with your knowledge, Zappa.

[Zappa]

He's written for several types of ensembles, and also for tape (electronic). Has been credited with the first electronic piece of music, "Poeme Electronique," in the late 50s. He's also written for solo flute, orchestra, percussion ensemble, and chamber groups. Many artists of the 60s listed him as a direct influence on their rock music. His work is loud, percussive, and has a lot of emphasis on timbre and feel, rather than on melodic elements. His complete works are available on a two CD set, or by downloading them from me on Soulseek.

[Zappa]

I have been listening to an old vinyl I found in my mom's collection of his music. I just love it, so I thought I'd drop a little post in here. Not sure why.

Well MXicans, more specifically those in Alt/Indie, I'm off to bed.

And with this post, I edge out poor Iai in this thread :evil:


Just kidding, no evilness for me :p


'Night :wave:
I HATE YOU, SPAM****.

[Iai2]

Well, in the nominations thread, the higher up on someone's list a member was, the more points they got.

Only 2 people nominated me, but I got 17 points.
I think I put you 6th on mine. :o

[Tomahawk]

I had a shitty weekend. It involved floods and fights and bad cover bands.

But now it's my birthday, so I no complain.

[The Ashtray Girl]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOMAHAWK

~hands you cake and gifts~

[Iai2]

~hands him hookers and beer~

Who do you love? :evil:

[Luxor]

How old is u?

[Tomahawk]

1) I love hookers!

2) I'm 19

[Luxor]

Yum, legal drinking age.

[Tomahawk]

What sort of crazy laws have they got where you live? I've been legal drinking age for a year now.

[Luxor]

19 for Canadians. :(

180.) IhateUsernames -- 50 pts
:eek:

Now that, is surprising. I didn't even think I'd get on the list. Thanks to the people who voted. :)

[Iai2]

Yum, legal hooker age.

[Iai2]

I was #43 on that. I think I beat everyone who posts in here except YDLoad and Bartender.

Edit = wrong.

[Iai2]

5.) Bartender -- 779 pts
7.) Medopalis -- 717 pts
20.) NachoChez -- 465 pts
29.) Ydload -- 382 pts
43.) Iai -- 292 pts

Yay for Top 5 Alt/Indiens.

[Wanker]

I HATE YOU, SPAM****.

:eek:

I'll just sulk away quietly now. :upset:

[Tomahawk]

So apparently I came 270th. Which is basically right in the middle of that list.

Yay for mediocrity!

[Zappa]

I was #53. A travesty.

[Wanker]

I was #53. A travesty.

I thought you'd at least be in the top 20-30.

(I beat you, :p)

[Master Arkam Kannon]

I didn't get that feeling from him at all.

its was a bit of both. sure someone who participates in a spam thread may be doing something wrong but it shouldnt be an automatic ban without looking into the reasons for said offenders actions, we all have a slip of the tongue once in a while. banning everyone within reach is like bombing a country based on the fact that they have muslims in it that dont agree with the democratic (christian) way of life.

[The Ashtray Girl]

It's only a ban. SFK was trying to make a point, and he did. If it'd had been longer than the 3 days, I'd be up in the arms, but he knew exactly what he was doing and got the consequences. That's just how R&M works, I guess.

[Wanker]

Meh, it's only 3 days for a spam thread. I got 5 days for a spam thread.

Plus, it was the R&M forum and the mods there should be rather strict considering the number of n00bs that go through there each day. Imagine if our Alt/Indie party thread were in R&M. It would've been close in 2 minutes.

[Iai2]

Eh, I'm not really complaining.

[Master Arkam Kannon]

so the length of the ban is the only reason you dont think this is a too quick to judge rule. had he been banned for a month of so you would have sided with me? you may not think this is a big deal but the only rules you can challenge are the smalls ones at first, once they get too big they may be unstoppable. too many people have gotten banned for little things that dont matter.

[Iai2]

too many people have gotten banned for little things that dont matter.
That I'll agree with.

Having said that, most people would argue that bans are meaningless, since you can just create a new account and keep on phishin'.

[Zappa]

I like the way it was long ago, when you could ban people just cause you don't like them.

[Master Arkam Kannon]

i just feel like this place is like elementry school were you have to raise your hand before you can go to the bathroom, even though the teacher isnt watching, which then causes you to pee yourself unless you run out of the room.

[Zappa]

So start posting elsewhere.

[Wanker]

I don't want to start an argument with you 'cause I don't want to get on your bad side. I'm just saying that this place has gotten so big that mods don't usually have time to look into every banning possiblity. If you looked at that thread, most people were noobs with the exception of Iai and SFK would've looked like a hypocrite if he didn't ban everyone.

And this place isn't really a democracy. The mods who ban (basically) have absolute power that you can't challenge without the risk of being banned.

[Master Arkam Kannon]

So start posting elsewhere.

why should i have to post elsewhere, i like the people here, i like what they have to say, i dont like it when they are silenced for bad reasons.

and after having just read the 24 forum rules in the R&M forum i am in an even more offensive mood then usual.

Mainly due to this:

2. Don't start arguments. This goes nowhere and basically ruins the mood of the forum.

its a forum were your supposed to have arguments. sure, arguing about what someone is isnt right, but to disagree with someone and argue about it is a part of human nature. R&M need to get over themselves.

[Plainlazy]

Hi, i only joined the other day and im tryin to work out what a noob is. Help anyone?

[Plainlazy]

Is it just anyone who's new?

[crazyGUITARnDRUMgal]

n00b=someone who acts like an idiot.

newbie=someone who's just new to the community, like you are.

Due to the fact that you are capable of using capitilisation, and indeed commas, you're not a n00b. ;)

Enjoy the forums.

capitalization..sorry im somewhat of a spelling nazi

[Plainlazy]

capitalization..sorry im somewhat of a spelling nazi


...and yet you don't use capitals in that sentence. :laughing:

[Iai2]

Using capitals has nothing to do with spelling, it's grammar. :)

Welcome to our community, Plainlazy.

[Plainlazy]

Vey true. Thanks for pointing that out. What are the general times that most people are on here, as whenever I'm here there only seem to be one or two people in the alt/indie forums. This means that by the time I see a conversation it's already over. Any general best times to come on?

[RIPJoeStrummer]

There's usually a good deal of people on any evening between about 5 and 11 eastern time. But there's always at least a few people on.

Hello, I'm Sweboy!

[Plainlazy]

Hi Swe.

[Phunphone]

This is a post to say hello. (dot)

[Plainlazy]

Hello. So is this. This could go on for a while.

[Phunphone]

You'll never know....

[Plainlazy]

Hey, how old is everyone in here / what do you all do (job, school subjects, uni course, w/e)?

[Zappa]

I'm 17, a junior in high school. I've been playing trumpet for 7 years, and I just started playing piano. I like all kinds of music, but my favorite is jazz. I really only post in the alt & indie forum because the people here are nice, and it's active (unlike the jazz forum) and fun (unlike R&M). I do listen to some alt & indie music, of course, but I dislike a lot of the real popular bands around here, which sometimes gets me in trouble with the regulars.

[Plainlazy]

Hey I'm very similar to you. Except jazz and alt/indie the other way round. Also play trumpet, but for 9 years now. Did play piano, but stopped lessons. Still play occassionally. Also 17. Attempting to teach myself guitar, but I suck. Plus I've never been a good teacher, and lose patience with myself. What subjects do you do?

[YDload]

I like the way it was long ago, when you could ban people just cause you don't like them.

It's not to late to bring that back! I bet it would stop a lot of the most immature and retarded threads in The Pit, because people could be ousted just for having nothing valuable to say, and contributing adversely to the forum. I think it would work.

[Wanker]

I'm 18, a Freshman in College. I got Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts. I'm majoring in English/Communications with a concentration in media production/studies. I don't practice guitar, but I'll pick one up now and then. Not the most most musical person, but I know good music when I hear it. My musical tastes range from Alternative to Post-Rock to Prog Rock to Thrash Metal to Prog Metal and some miscellaneous bands in between. Good to see a new face 'round these parts.

/shudders

[Plainlazy]

Thanks Wanker. So is everyone like from USA? I'm feeling very insignificant here in England, which btw sucks. I really do hate this country.

[Wanker]

Actually maybe a good 30-40% of people on this site are from the UK.

[Zappa]

I'm from the United States, but there are a lot of Brits and Aussies here.

[Iai2]

I found this very funny.

[Iai2]

Hey, how old is everyone in here / what do you all do (job, school subjects, uni course, w/e)?
I'm 18, and also a Brit - I live in East Anglia. I currently study at Sixth Form college - I'm in my third year, and am doing English Literature and Music at A2, and Music technology at AS. I already have 2 A2s (Philosophy, Media) and one AS (English Language). I play guitar, and have done for just over 2 years. I'm going to sit my Grade 7 examination with Associated Board soon, even though I'm terrible at sight-reading. I can do rhythms, at least.

Next year I'm going to Uni to study either Music with Media, or Music with English. I've apllied to APU (Cambridge campus), Keele, and Northampton.

[Wanker]

'Unbeknownst to much of the world and many of the respective band members and possibly also the guys themselves, Tool's Maynard James Keenan and Deftones' Chino Moreno have long been at loggerheads in an intense rivalry to make their group the world's one and only "metal Radiohead".'

What the crap? Metal Radiohead?

[sweboy]

Iai, what's up with the ban?

[Iai2]

You never heard Tool or Deftones called that before? It happens all the time here.

[Wanker]

Well, Radiohead's not as popular where I live, so that might be the reason.

[Wanker]

Wait, so the guy hasn't even listened to Ænema or Salival and continues to do reviews on them. He (obviously) hates Deftones, yet still compares them with Radiohead.

Did I miss something here?

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Wanker again.



I think your reps worth about 35...which seems too low for someone with stars. I dunno.

Hmm, well I just got them the other day. Does anyone know why some people only have three stars and others have four?

[incubliss]

hello everyone, back for a quick visit.

how's things with everyone, since having a little break, i've got so much work done, completed and handed in one physics coursework (on time!) and another to be done and presented next week.

i'm going to see Muse in 8 days time, for my first time with them, and i'll also be seing the wonderful Secret Machines and The Zutons. i'm very very excited about this, and i haven't been to London in a long time, so i'm bringing plenty of money, for pressies for parents etc.

all i've been digging lately is the new Bloc Party album, a friend got the cd off the internet, and i've been listening avidly, it's very very good. i've just discovered The Shins, Zero7, and Goldfrapp, loving The Shins new release especially, very neat.

i'll be back after xmas probably, full time ;)

have a great xmas all, and don't get too drunk new years eve.

Some people have 3 because they get banned. :-*

:wave: incubliss.

[Wanker]

:wave: incubliss.

They can get them back, right?

[Iai2]

If they stay ban-free for a certain period of time. Shall I measure it for you when I'm unbanned?
