Maybe you should find a hobby. Punching hobos is a good time. And it's way cheaper than hookers.

That's kinda funny. I asked the same question a couple of challenges ago but no one bothered to answer because I'm a n00b and no one listens to me and I understand it and its okay :cool: :p

I saw em live when they came to melb in feb. Awesome live band. There just one of those bands that don't need to have flying high solos or to jump around like kids with tantrums to impress insanely. Very talented band :thumb:

[RunAmokRampant]

oh yeh i also dig neurosis who are a bit similar to isis except darker and more foreboding. You should check them out to Dfelon if you haven't already. They're classed as doom metal and don't appeal to many audiences as sometimes they repeat riffs for like ages.

You guys don't seem to really appreciate these noobs. After reading their posts I think I may understand why. And it makes me want to turn tail and run out of this sub-forum forever.

[DFelon204409]

Hahahah subforums rule. Dude, ISISISISSISIISISS

[Dancin' Man]

I win at knowing things about Isis and that 'genre' in general. I hear about a band that toured/played with one of the others I know and hunt them down, sometimes to find really crappy music. You should check out Aaron Turner's other band Old Man Gloom. Very cool stuff. Different (less atmosphere) but very good.

[DFelon204409]

No, because you amp up your post count in R%M and haven't graced us with your mediocre writing in a long time.

/desperateclawingatjustificationforbadpoetry

[JaveryAM]

Ya know what i noticed? I noticed that alot of the posts in this challenge have a lot to do with religion, or something is mentioned that is semi- like it... the heavenly crush, my 'sloth' poem, and two others have mentionings of heavenly sins or noah or something...
I found it rather odd

[Dancin' Man]

My entire song is references to the last book in the bible as the title may suggest...

Religion is something that is very important and holds relevance to many other things and is so packed with useable metaphors that why not use it? Hell, I've never been to Church and am not religious but it's still interesting.

[JaveryAM]

i agree... but it was as if the challenge was themed

[super deluxe]

I have most of a song written, but will be going out of town for a while, so I don't know if I'll finish it in time.

Either way, I'll be lounging poolside being attended by cabana boys and drinking things with little umbrellas in them.

Or not.

if you cannot stand political poetry or music, here's a tip. take a shotgun, load both barrels, put it in your mouth, and blow your ****ing head off.

I don't want to know how you feel about the government because most people are retarded and lean drastically to one side or the other and are completely biased and stupid. Because that is the case, I want you to write about something with more bearing on how you live your life, or with cultural significance or specific events. Write about puppy dogs if you want to but at least write it well. And hey, in politics you vote based on your opinions and can trash the other candidates for no reason so why can't I do it here?


/stupid ****ing assclown

Anyway, I did notice I was quite harsh with my voting. Oh well. It's done isn't it.

Sushi - I like it occasionally. I really like the stuff with avacado and cucumber and carrot and other vegetables. I'm not a fan of fishy flavors so if it has fish, it has to be fresh.

Yeah I thought that was odd. You did what I do, you gave my song like a 7.5 and trashed it too. Ha.

[machinegunfunk]

here's the thing. you should review things objectively. You might hate what it's about, or what the message is, but if you're going to review things, you should review the quality of the work. If the work is of a very high quality, but it's about something you hate, I think you have to bite the bullet and give it a good review. You said to write about something that has more bearing on my life? Pretty sure the state of affairs in the world and country has a pretty big impact in my life.

[Dancin' Man]

Go vote objectively and show me how it's done. If you want me to review the quality of the work I will. Go check the voting thread.

Whos going to Sounds of the Underground?

Sounds of the Underground seems like such a crappy tour. Two good bands and so many mediocre ones. Opeth and SYL dont justify having to sit/stand through all the other bands that wouldnt even make second stage at Ozzfest, which in itself is mainly all about second stage acts now. I'm waiting for the Gigantour.

[ITRIEDVOODOOONCE]

eh, to each his own i guess, i dont really like opeth and strapping young lads, but i think that and hellfest are going to kick ***.

[machinegunfunk]

Clutch is on SOTU, they're one of the best live acts in the country. really good band, worth checking out. new album robot hive/ exodus is fantastic. bluesy hard-rock.

I don't mean to be rude or condescending in any way but I feel that you're not a natural writer. Don't take this the wrong way, it's just that I think you have to try harder to create lyrics than some of the other writers in this challenge. But I sense effort was put in this song and the initial idea was decent. The imagery is too bland and doesn't develop into anything really exciting.


yeah i see what you mean, most of the stuff i write for the challenges forced half hour jobs i haven't got much time to spend on writing cuz i'm promoting bands at the moment together with teaching music, playing in a band myself, and doing all round jobs in the local music business, all that with raising a 2-year old relly leaves you with no time.
but i'm stopping with my band and they're gonna help me with the promotions so i will have more time on my hands.

[ATC]

Man,Necro,sounds like you have your hands full. Have you tried using the 'forced half hour' songs you put up with your band? Its one of the best ways to get your writing act together, forcing the lyrics onto a song. Editing's the only way to work your way out of that, and it sometimes has nice results. Just a thought.

I'm all for diverse musical festivals. I'd probably get whiplash or worse if I had to go to a festival full of just 'core acts. More than likely, hardcore dancing would kill me from laughing.
Feel free to head over to the Songwriting and Lyrics forum and look at my thread in there. I'd link but I'm too lazy.

yeah thanks man
my band is officially no more, after the france/belgium tour it was the end, the tour didn't help relations in the band which screwed up the music. so we're stopping and really going for the producing side.

Everyone quit bitchin' about what someone thinks just roll with the punches.. he thought mine was cheesy and when you think about it.. lol it is.. but hey get over it you got many more chances to make up for it..

Tab sites suck, the chords I get to songs never sound right.

Mxtabs rocks though, in case MX is looking.

[DFelon204409]

Maybe you just suck a guitar. al caPWNed!! But seriously tabs are really just guidelines when they're done by hacks. Shortcuts.

[A_Perfect_Sonnet]

Yeah, all the chords to the songs I'm getting are just wrong. Now I actually have to listen myself, geez.

[DFelon204409]

My tabs are pretty immaculate except my one of "Death Day" by AAF.

[ATC]

Don't use tabs. Use GuitarPro or Tabledit or something.
They're usually more accurate than tabs are and give a better sense of the song.

[RunAmokRampant]

That or tab the song yourself but in many cases such as mine, I'm too lazy and use mxtabs instead.

every political song must start a riot? yea, bob dylan played some really hardcore riot insighting songs, with the double kick bass drumming and the wailing guitars. songs shouldn't be written to formulas, not to mention it's more poetry. and especially not to mention that tom morello was signed to a major record label, made ludicrous amounts of money via capitalism, and now plays in a ****ty commercial rock band.

Alright, my request is in.

The first time I listened to CTTS I didn't think much of them, but I checked them out again today and it was amazing stuff. I guess it's cause I got into Dillinger recently too, so I'm more used to the sort of harmonic disorganization they have going. I love it.

i came across the 'recommendations' thread, i think its quite a good idea, suggestion for the mods: maybe sticky it, it could be usefull later on.

So true. But a good political song has incitement at its core. Stating stuff without its core deprives it of the soul, to me. I don't necessarily say 'write a song intended to get people to do something' but it must, absolutely must make them 'feel' it enough for them to want to take action, even if only for a minute. That's what I felt was lacking in your piece is all.

RAR, sorry,man. I'll get your crit done right now.

i haven't challenged all of them. i have questioned critiques that don't seem to be accurate/enlightening. when your critique is I HATE POLITICAL SONGS RAAAAAAH, well yea, i'm going to confront you on it. as for atc, it seemed as though he was saying that my song didn't fit the criteria for a political song, as laid down by tom morello. i challenged that and he made his point more clear, and now i'm fine with that.

so please, remove thyself from my genitals, if you'd be so kind.

[Dancin' Man]

Oh I'm sorry. What I meant to say is you are an idiot. Please excuse my lack of clarity.

[Necroses-bass]

bisnotch: i respect the fact that you didn't give me a very good rating because i know that i'm not that good at the whole lyrics aspect of music. But can i please point out to you that its nowhere near 'screaming religious death metal'. its about the end of the world but that doesn't mean its death metal. a major thing that determines death metal is the music. take for example apocalypse please by muse (and my music is in a quite similar style but slightly more gothic), I'm sure no-one would call that death metal (unless you're completely daft) but it's still about the end of the world.

In fact, if every poetic text about the end of the world or mass destruction is screaming death metal i would like to see the day that Seamus Heany or Gillian Clarke pick up a guitar and join cannibal corpse or Dimmu Borgir.

Just to finish, religious death metal? Doesn't that defeat the whole idea behind death metal.

anyway, i respect your views, and agree with the fact that i'm not that good a lyricist but hey the crowds seemed to like them.

Seamus Heaney won that mofo'n Nobel Prize and translated my copy of Beowulf. He could bring the mad double bass + growling.

i haven't challenged all of them. i have questioned critiques that don't seem to be accurate/enlightening. when your critique is I HATE POLITICAL SONGS RAAAAAAH, well yea, i'm going to confront you on it. as for atc, it seemed as though he was saying that my song didn't fit the criteria for a political song, as laid down by tom morello. i challenged that and he made his point more clear, and now i'm fine with that.

so please, remove thyself from my genitals, if you'd be so kind.
It's amazing how you can come here and manage to pretty much piss off everyone.

yup...you and dancin' man. if that's not unanimous i don't know what is. i don't look for trouble, but when people are pompous and condescending, i take affront very quickly. i have real problems with e-tough guys who think that calling people noobs and flaunting their longevity/e-standing on a messageboard makes them awesome. dancin' man's critique is in no way what should be deemed acceptable for a forum concerned with the improvement of songwriters; a supposed audience of peers. his review was rude, sarcastic, caustic, and moreover totally useless and inane, i see nothing wrong in taking offense to it and pointing out the fact that the he was in essence being a douchebag. if people want to critique my writing, by all means go ahead. but when he says, I HATE POLITICAL MUSIC AND SINCE YOU WROTE A POLITICAL POEM YOU'RE A LOSSSSSSSSSER AND YOUR PIECE SUUUUUUCKSSSSSS AHAHA, then he can shove it up his ***, plain and simple.

and towards you, you're not much better. you're extremely condescending, show a tendency towards disparaging "noobs" rather than being a firm, yet guiding hand, and just seem like a dick.

so if i piss you two off, you know what, i don't care.

[bisnotch]

to the necroses bass: i respect the fact that you respect my opinion. It shows maturity, which seems to lack greatly online and in quite excess in this forum. If I came off as pompous, rude, arrogant, or simple-minded, I deeply apologize. I have a very overly dikheaded way of expressing something I don't like. It's not that your piece was bad, but more the fact that I'm just not into that style I guess. So once again, I apologize. It's nice to see a little sincerity and kindness in this shindig. Keep on keepin' on. I shall see you around brother.

Rushfan!?! I thoughth you said you were never coming back and your want your intellectual property of something dumb like that.

[RunAmokRampant]

To corupt - No I'm not black. Hated Helen was based on the character Helen from the play The Women Of Troy and this is the one about the KKK. I'm studying lynch mob mentality in psyche class and I find it intriguing from a psychological viewpoint but it is wrong in all aspects. I get a lot of inspiration from that class.

[Necroses-bass]

bisnotch: stop bull****ting man you know my piece was ****, i wasn't actually questioning your crit, just questioning the fact that everyone thinks that apocalyptic lyrics have to belong in the death metal genre.

I'm not condescending because of my join date or postcount or yours for that matter. I'm condescending because you're a moron who can't take criticism.

Your add date is lame anyway.

I'm pissed off people are giving me crits saying "I didn't expect this to suck so much." Neither did I. The close date snuck up on me.

good comeback. i can take any criticism that is written lucidly and seems to have some foundation. i "couldn't take" dancin' man's criticism because his "criticism" amounted to him saying, "i hate political songs and this is a political song so you suck." if i'm wrong on that, please, enlighten me. as for addicted to chaos, it seemed like he was saying that my song didn't fit a formula for political songs, and as such, wasn't good. when he clarified it for me, i had no further complaints.

This is an expansion on my vote: I dont take lyrics by genre, and when I gave you such a blunt statement, it was only to tell you how I really felt. There wasn't much along the lines of depth in that song, it just felt like a juvenille piece, and I know I've seen better from you. It wasn't the worst of the bunch though, so it still has room to make something of it.

[Faster Fingers]

I didn't say you suck until yoiu asked for a reason I rated your piece so low. You are a stupid ***.

Burt - why/how am I banned? They were all in legal threads and seemed legit.

[ATC]

Disco, blame the movie piece on me having to put up with a romance-movie obsessed girlfriend. She likes the idea of meeting someone by accident and then being torn apart by circumstance. It's big in the romance movie business, apparently. Hence the accidental savior stepping to the wings, waiting for the next act in the play/movie.

Everything I do has already been set to music and the 'cos' just fit. It was a pretty chorus :upset:

In other good news, I get to see Anthrax instead of Dream Theater for the Gigantour. Yay.

[Disco Dragon]

If the 'cos' helps with the music, then that's cool. I just don't like seeing it with lyrics, it kinda takes me out of the song.

[Necroses-bass]

I'm the only one who has said that i suck

[ATC]

I don't think you suck. That would imply that there is no hope for you.
All I thought was that you're trying too hard and that you'd probably get better with time.

PS: Don't try to get people to say you suck. Doesn't look good for either party.

[Necroses-bass]

yeah i hope i'll improve, well i should, i've only been writing since november '04,
and i do not take offence in any of the crits, as i fully understand the views and agree with most of them.

[Disco Dragon]

**** it, I'll say it......you suck. There, are you happier now?

[Necroses-bass]

yay someone agrees

[pixiesfanyo]

I have the runs.

[DFelon204409]

DFelon – I liked the idea of you being the creator of this person and writing it from that vantage point. It’s an interesting setup. However, it lacks an emotional connection that I would expect from someone who has just put all their effort into creating another person. Almost like you lacked emotion while creating this song. If you had toned down the dry language, it might have helped.

Dude. The point is that he didn't create the person and doesn't understand him/her/the monolith. The narrator is chiseling into the rock as if he could extract the fossils, the trace of the vigor and connection that once had existed but now that is immutable and impossible. Get it now?

[Disco Dragon]

Yes, I do get it better now, thanks for explaining it. I still thank the language is ultimately too dry/morose, but at least it has somewhat of a purpose now. I might change your ranking a bit.

[DFelon204409]

Haha ya that was the whole point. I reviewed Trophy Scars new CD in a sort of stream of consciousness way.

Thank you heaps,man. I lub you.
I was beginning to think I'd never get a crit there.
