I thought that was the point.

It looked bad.

Mischief Brew tooooonnniiight.

I'm thinking about trading my guitar in and getting one of these.

I don't know anything about Gretsch, but I know I don't like that silver color.

Yeah, I'll probably get it in black. I played it at the music store, the action was beautiful.

/moseys over to guitar forum

Speaking of that, the action on my E string on my 4-string bass needs to be raised, but when I use the allen wrench thing on the bridge saddle, it doesn't seem to work.

Are the little threads stripped or something?

I need your guys' educated opinion on new music, I'm talking about bands like Hawthorne Heights, From First To Last, Armor For Sleep, etc.

My friend seems to have become enamored with stupid trend bands like these, and I'm trying to convince him that this genre totally sucks.

What can I classify these bands as? What do you guys think of them?

I have that exact guitar in black. It's f[COLOR="Black"]u[/COLOR]cking awesome. Get it. I dunno about silver though..

If anyone in this forums cares, they put up two songs from Rancid's acoustic sets from a little bit ago. Here is the article w/ the 2 songs [url]http://www.punknews.org/article.php?sid=16800&mode=&order=0&thold=0[/url]. It was ok, i liked JTTEOEB better than Knowledge, but they were both ok. I think they got one tour left in them....

I just realized how awesome heroin bob was

Genre: bad pop-punk

Remedy: show him good pop-punk bands

Nononono, don't call it any pop punk. Or punk.

Call it bad hardcore.

The whole scene surrounding that genre really frustrates me. In their attempt to be individual and unique, the kids who listen to that music all end up being the same.

It's not bad hardcore either. It has more in common with pop-punk than it does with hardcore, you'd rather just pass the bad blame to hardcore then let your precious punk be involved.

And so do the majority of punks.

Tim Armstrong is still punk as hell. Good to see.

Yeah. So? Just because you don't care about anything doesn't me I don't.

[QUOTE=Brain Toad]And so do the majority of punks.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, but there are tons of differences between punks and emo/scene kids.

For one, punks dress the way they do because they're rebelling against something, whether it be the government, or something similar.

What do emo/scene kids rebel against? Their parents? :rolleyes:

I hate that scene. Hate it.

[quote=Rise Me Up]Yeah. So? Just because you don't care about anything doesn't me I don't.[/quote]

You only care about punk and no about hardcore. You'd rather see their scene trashed. That isn't fair to a genre that does produce many good bands and probably has a more alive scene then punk.

I think pwn.

Right. I don't care about hardcore. And I don't want crap bands being labeled any type of punk, because they're not.

And I bet the majority of punk rebellion stems from parental rebellion, and many use government/society as an excuse for just simple parental rebellion.

And really what the hell is the problem with rebelling against your parents? I bet you did it. It's part of being a teenager and part of growing up, etching your way out of your parents world and slowly into the adult world.

i hope...this is sarcasm?

No. Not really.

I also hope you're joking.

Yeah but I rebelled against my parents in normal ways. Staying out past my curfew, skipping school, stuff like that.

Not f'ucking wearing my sisters pants...

Times change. Different generations think different things mean rebeling. They have a perfectly valid way of rebelling.

Does that really have anything do to with rebelling against your parents?

[quote=Mannik]Does that really have anything do to with rebelling against your parents?[/quote]

New fashion, especially fashion that goes against societal norms is rebelling. Just like punks change their style of dress against that of the time.

Bottom line, their way of rebelling [U]sucks.[/U]

Yeah you've got a point

Honestly, I usually wear, now that it is getting warm out is a band t-shirt and jeans

That's pretty much what I wear every day. Considering I have 10-15 band shirts

I'm not into the whole rebelling thing, I just like to chill, listen to good music and have fun. and long walks on the beach call me k?

[quote=KingOfSka]Bottom line, their way of rebelling [U]sucks.[/U][/quote]

That's a stupid thing to say, but hey more power to ya.

I think putting ****loads of gel in your hair to make it a foot high and wearing ultra tight jeans and safety pinned shirts is stupid myself.

I think everyone else in the world apart from me is stupid.

[QUOTE=sketchyjoe]I think everyone else in the world apart from me is stupid.[/QUOTE]

Comic relief++

Yeah but Joe kind of does have a point.

Everyone who doesn't share your opinions is stupid.

[QUOTE=Brain Toad]Everyone who doesn't share your opinions is stupid.[/QUOTE]Exactly.

You'll thank me when you share my politics.

I think everyone in the world* has worse taste in music than me, and I pity them for it.
