[QUOTE=xrockerachickx]posers r anybody who is like Avril Lavguine (however u spell that), who think theyre ALL hard, but really r some lameass kids O GOD! WTF[/QUOTE]

I think you should be more worried about how to spell "are" than Lavigne.

[QUOTE=Da_Machine]How about the masses of people who think "the black album" (really called Metallica) is the first Metallica album?[/QUOTE]

haha, now thats funny.... and anyways, the black album was made also for people who weren't into metal. its more of an all audience album anyway right?

[QUOTE=Tyler_]You're not funny...[/QUOTE]

I beg to differ.

How much time are you saving? A quarter of a second. That's not saving time, that's just being lazy.

Then be banned. If you want to be a part of these forums, you need to speak/type legibly and put thought into your posts.

At my school, a poser is someone who doesn't wear H.I.M. bracelets according to the majority of the people (75% love H.I.M.).

A poser is simply someone who tries to be someone they're not, plays an instrument because they want people to think that they're awesome, and listens to a brand of music that everyone likes because they want to fit in.

Oh, and there's nothing better than showing up a cocky poser on an instrument in front of loads of people.

You can't spot a poser by looks. Once you talk to them you know if their a poser or not. I mean as most people said, a poser is someone who wants to fit into a scene. They buy merch from hot topic say they love them. Then you talk to them and they turn into idiot. they don't have their facts right, they no nothing about the band exept how to download all their songs.

Man, that sounds like my drummer...

He plays guitar in his spare time...he believes he is better than most people, even though pretty much all he knows is power chords.

I love tapping on the guitar and watching the look on his face...its priceless.

HAHAHA I love doing that! They ****ing buy all this amazing **** and suck so bad, say their amazing and bah! They should see it comming..


Posers = Igorant beyond the point of ignorant people.

[QUOTE=high_voltage_acdc]To me the closest thing to a poser are the kids who go to Hot Topic every week, listen to Slipknot and Dimmu and CoF and then think they're hella metal. But then again, who am I to judge them?[/QUOTE]

an educated metalhead, what?

[QUOTE=Shattered_Future]

It funny to see their faces, even on the simplest tap riff. To their untrained ears it is amazing.

I showed up this kid yesterday playing Until It Sleeps, and he played Dammit. He won, because all of these "emo" kids were standing in his corner watching him play with a $3,000 Schecter. They all said that he was the best because they didn't know what song I was playing. ****ing douchebags.

Hey Steerpike, when you said that thing about Cory Taylor, I think he really meant it about the masks. I mean sure Clown did it first but alot of bands have a single person in the band that wears the mask but the other members are normal "looking", so they could have just left him with his stagefright. Also a mask is artwork, and artwork is the reflection of the artist on the inside.

Not saying he's completely credible with that statement, but I'd believe him.

i have 2 friends whom i adore dearly, but they're posers. :lol: :lol: :lol: they everything poser. they liek slipknot and say they listen to pretty heavy s hit. thats they i have never invited them to my house. theres this 2 guys at my tech ed class...and they are part of the "goth" crowd at my school. we were fu cking aorund the computors in teh modules, and i just sat down and all of a sudden i heard some gay alternative s hit. they said it was breaking benjamin's new music video. i promtly went back to my module and turn the speakers up and put on Behemoth's "Conquer All" video and said "eat s hit Kumar." :smash:

And people who are "emo". I mean, come on. Who the **** are they trying to fool here? "Oh, my girlfriend left me so that means I have to slit my wrists and cry in the corner." Jesus, get a grip.

I am the best guitarist in my school, I show everyone up, because the 2nd best that everyone looks up to only knows God of Thunder and Sweet Home Alabama, very sloppily I might add... Eugenes Trick Bag amazes the simple minded Kentuckians, but not as much as Sweet Home Alabama. Well, I'm the best now anyways, now that one of the seniors who was an amazing shredder has graduated...

I agree.

[QUOTE=Steerpike]Regardless, he still sounds like a pretentious jack-***.[/QUOTE]

I'd say so. He's the embodiment of poser hardcoreness, i think.

Reflection of the artist inside...bulls[COLOR=White]h[/COLOR]it. If it was a reflection, they'd have different masks, not ones with grotesque faces or 10 inch spikes sticking out of the top.

Exactly! Besides, they're all rich and famous now. The only thing they could possibly complain about is the fact that the majority of their fans are clueless pre-teens who are operating under the delusion that listening to metalcore makes them rebels.

With that in mind, what makes Cory think he's fooling anyone?

Exactly. They need to find a new fanbase that isn't all preppy/preppunk girls and hardcore boys.

Also, they are metalcore? My girlfriend said they were too...i always thought of them as extremely heavy nu-metal.

I consider them metalcore, but I'm hardly an expert on the genre, so don't take me too seriously on that.

[QUOTE=Steerpike]I consider them metalcore, but I'm hardly an expert on the genre, so don't take me too seriously on that.[/QUOTE]

Yea, metalcore seems to be like nu-metal...people throw bands in there, regardless of how they sound, to show that they hate them and the whole genre.

Metalcore for me = Killswitch Engage. Best example i can come up with.

Slipknot is nu-metal though they tend to be heavier than most bands in that genre. They arn't metalcore because of a lack of hardcore style playing. Some metalcore that are poular right now include Bleeding Through, Eighteen Visions, Atreyu etc. Some pretty good metalcore of current would be Bury Your Dead, Walls of Jericho, 100 Demons, and Dead to Fall.

Okay, so they're not metalcore, they're just really bad nu-metal. Got it.

I'm sorry but I like some of their stuff, and they kill live.

[QUOTE=Steerpike]Okay, so they're not metalcore, they're just really bad nu-metal. Got it.[/QUOTE]

i think i got it, the [B]majority [/B] of all metalcore bands are just nu-metal dudes with crappy guitar solos.

they suck

I never understood what was so great about them. The only way I can tell it's them on the radio is the mediocre clean singing turning to mediocre harsh vocals.

I don't know why I like some of they're stuff. It's like any type of pop song that you have as a guilty pleasure. Also they're older stuff is alot more interesting and progressive (Mate, Feed, Kill, Repeat).

I'd upload somthing but I don't have that album.

seems to me that posers (more or less) are just preppy kids who think they can fit in anywhere with the least amoung of effort, like feigning dress and interest, or at least, trying to pass off as a certain group

[URL=http://www.musicianforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=225850&page=1]This thread[/URL] has an experience of mine on the first post. hot poser chicks are the worst

Yes seriously,the new Slipknot album and their rare demo Mate Feed Kill Repeat are so far detached from what you would think as slipknot.I recommend these two albums to anybody except for fans of the other albums.It is REALLY good.The only people that I have found that don't like them are previous slipknot fans who think that everything needs to be heavy and fast,even though slipknot are no where near the embodiment of this.I mean on the new album they solo and use acoustic guitars,that right there alone is a progression way beyond anything they have done in the past.Lyrically they have been able to go beyond just saying "**** you,**** the world,**** my parents etc."Their music actually has some substance now and it is just to bad it is so late in the game.I honestly think has their newest album been a debut album by a new band it would be the biggest thing since Nevermind.I think it is THAT good.But however like stated before,they have no credibility.So all the slipknot fans of old just think they "sold out" and all the non-slipknot fans can't take them seriously for 5 seconds.Such a shame.

[QUOTE=fallenstar]I do agree Now what is the biggest posing bands ever. I think Mudvayne is one of them they deserve to rot[/QUOTE]

They are poser with their look but not with their music.

lol I got a friend and everybody knows the kid loves rap, and we started makin fun of rap so like the next day he bought some Rock CD's and he started trying to talk to us and we don't even think the band is good cept for a song or two, but he knows that he likes rap and not rock but he tries to listen to rap so he can be like us, a poser is a person who thinks they know something but don't :upset:

How is Mudvayne a poser band?I can agree that using Mudvayne using makeup in the early stages was just an attention getter.But their music has always stood out.They don't try to sound like anybody at all.

posers should listen to the song walk get their *** kicked and the try and find the selves

Posers are the kids that are so wrapped up in what's cool and what's not, that they forget who they are. They're so desperate for attention that they trick themeselves into thinking somethings cool. Often the spoiled kids, they always get the latest equipment, even though they have no clue what it is, and in some cases can't play it (ie guitars etc.). The posers kill it.
