[QUOTE=Larry Bird;18379582]i remember when all the classic rock fags got buttmad about there being too many metal threads here like 5 years ago[/QUOTE]

THose fags were a part of my musical education! haha. jk. but ya. I think that's what I miss here. Diversity. I mostly listen to metal anyway now so who cares.

6/7th grade: classic rock
8th grade: nu-metal, entry-level metal
9th/10th grade: black/death/thrash metal, started getting into some punk too
11th grade: got into indie, backpack rap, and post-punk, stopped listening to metal for the most part
12th grade: discovered skramz
college: started listening to a wider variety of rap and got back into metal

i really like the smiths, they're great.

the smiths are one of my favorite bands of all time

was absolutely obsessed with them in 11th-12th grade, and i still love them

elementary school - whatever my bro/sis listened to, then started listening to classic rock and the ramones around 6th grade
middle school - old punk, classic rock, metallica, rap, and then all kinds of stuff
high school - xtreme metal, all kinds of electronic, stupid pretentious shit, etc.

I really lucked out w/ my local scene on the skramz thing. Exposed to greatness when I was young and impressionable.

Still bump Harrison Bergeron way too often.

-> nu metal
-> bad metalcore/post-hardcore
-> better metalcore/post-hardcore
-> skramz
-> punx
-> black metal
-> now

numetal
metalcore
deathcore
tech/melo death
brutal death

pretty much I have the standard maturity

I watched part of this movie called Sid and Nancy the other day. It was kinda cool. I used to hang out with a bunch of punk kids. I couldn't stand them tho. Anytime I tried to hang out with one they brought like 5 friends and they all had skateboards.

charlotte has a shitty music scene

only good shows i went to were

against me
bela fleck and the flecktones
rancid (yeah i still like rancid i'll admit that)
leftover crack

blockhead have you read saint morrissey by mark simpson

Between The Buried And Me and Prayer For Cleansing are from Charlotte, that's all I know about that scene.

Tennessee has produced 10 Years, Yo Gotti. Think that's about it.

one day you'll realize that real metalcore and oldschool death metal are the best forms of metal

Seattle has a real tight knit metal scene, I was at a party last weekend with a bunch of people from the scene who've been around for a long time, it was cool to chat them up and stuff.

there were a lot of kids that thought they were punks in sc but they were all just fashion punks. they were just immature kids with skateboards and mohawks. that's not what punk is about, it's not the way you dress it's just a way of thinking. the dead kennedys said it best "punk ain't no religous cult, punk means thinkin for yourself" that's all it means and that's all it's ever meant.

Whitechapel, Rifles At Recess, Fingers Crossed.

three 6 mafia
project pat
8ball & mjg
his hero is gone
from ashes rise

music scene here is non-existent

completely, totally non-existent, there is absolutely fuck all for bands here

It's intimidating trying to branch out into Death metal. There are so many damn bands. Think I have gotten to most of the basics. That's my next musical frontier I think.

i saw between the buried and me in hs at tremont. they played with horse the band. i went with these scene kids. they gave me a hard time for getting stoned before the show

mitch, i have not

kinda reminds me of the crass song punk is dead

"see the velvet zippies in their bondage gear
the social elite with safety pins in their ear
i watch and understand that it don't mean a thing
the scorpions might attack, but the system's stole the sting"

and if you like the smiths, you should really check that book out...he analyzes morrissey's literary influence very in-depth, and shows examples of where he's made reference to them in his lyrics. a lot of his lyrics are literary puns based on plays and books and quotes from actors he loves.

[QUOTE=illmitch;18379611]three 6 mafia[/QUOTE]

Hell ya. forgot about that. i saw them at one of my friends colleges. On campus show it was sweet. And then I saw the Beastie Boys DJ there. He was amazing.

snowing, bataan death march, and frontlines are pretty much the only bands worth mentioning from my area

and all three are vastly different and never play together

and somehow have really zealous niche followings thanks to the internet, like frontlines is coming back from tour with no bragging rights on monday

haha i like project pat. i wouldn't call it good music, but it's funny. my friends and i used to always listen to project pat and three 6 mafia in hs.

my favorite song was

still ridin clean
making cheese
and get my dick sucked

[QUOTE=blockhead;18379615]i saw between the buried and me in hs at tremont. they played with horse the band. i went with these scene kids. they gave me a hard time for getting stoned before the show[/QUOTE]
hahaha that's bogus

otherwise how was that?

edit: was that the tour they did with animosity and giants?

project pat doesn't have a lot of lyrical variety but from a technical standpoint he's a really good rapper, he has great flow

music from my area
samothrace
get up kids
appleseed cast
tech n9ne

Anyone like Lil Wayne? he has some great stuff if you download like all his stuff. not just like his radio hits.

lil waynes material in the carter ii and the mixtapes before the carter iii is fucking awesome

Helllll Ya.

The hottest under the sun. Unfuc*ing believable Lil Wayne's the president. Fu*k em Fuc* em Fuc* em, even if they celibate.

some kid told me that my pants weren't tight enough and that i wasn't punk enough :lol: some people just don't understand any kind of abstract concept i guess. they just zone in on the shallow aspects of it. i guess punk is just the music i can identify with the most, it feels the most cathartic. some of the philosophies in it are stupid like any thing else, but ti's what i can relate to the most.

and that book sounds interesting, i'm reading a jim carroll book right now.

[QUOTE=witchxrapist;18379623]hahaha that's bogus

it was a pretty good show. i liked between the buried and me more than horse the band. i don't know if it was that tour. that was the first time i saw people fight dance and i thought it was really stupid. i saw leftover crack at that same venue. a lot of bands play there, it's mostly a hardcore venue it's in charlotte.

my pants were 'too tight' for hardcore kids when i was in high school

niggas hatin on my delias apparel gtfo

we do get pretty good shows in lawrence

japandroids, la dispute, of montreal, tilly in the wall, ghostface killah off the top of my head

its awesome having shows right at home, its a 10 minute drive for me to the venues any of those guys played at

[QUOTE=blockhead;18379640]it was a pretty good show. i liked between the buried and me more than horse the band.[/quote]
word, was this like 3 years ago? cause i caught btbam w/ horse, animosity, and giants 3 years ago and it was epic. animosity completely upstaged everyone.

[quote]that was the first time i saw people fight dance and i thought it was really stupid.[/QUOTE]
nigga, i'll spinxkick your face off

edit: some crew of pod six hardcore kids jumped a kid at that show though, that was gay.

and a cop shot/killed outside the venue during the show, and everyone came out after btbam's set and there were cops everywhere, shit was nuts. lol philly

Tennessee has Bonaroo at least.

between the buried an[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/ulAAk.jpg[/IMG]

only show here i've ever wanted to go to was the gy!be show

which ruled, but other than that bands don't seem to want to come anywhere near here

We get lots of good shows here, I love living in the city because it's only a 15 minute bus ride to most of the venues, which I ride for free anyway.
