Right, you're GAY. We get it. DON'T point it out every other post. It got old the first time. NO MORE GAY FROM YOU.

I just said I'd turn straight. o_O It was a little joke.

miss, i appreciate the effort on changing your profile but honestly, i'd lose the 'O_o' stuff as well.

thanks in advance miss.

Why do I bother.

How about someone just send me a fucking list on the do's and don'ts and what bands I should and shouldnt like.

I'm new, I joined to talk about crap.

And all I've had since I've joined is bullshit.

I even flipping apologised.

I'm not sure one person has said a single nice word to me.

Is this discrimination against new people or something?

Because it's bloody pathetic.

HA! you double posted, you could have just edited.

Sorry to point that out but since you have pointed out EVERY little mistake I've made. Thought it was fair. :D

Post by: Kai on 27 May 2006, 13:30: Post too much and not many of them have much to say.

Broken quite a few rules, and don't really actually have much of an attitude to fix any of them.

Just, chill out, and before you post something, think about if anyone would actually want to read what you are posting. It certainly helps. Because what's the point of a post if nobody would actually want to read it?

Post by: xeyexlinerx on 27 May 2006, 13:32: Okay, thanks guys. :)

Well, I'm not exactly from Wales (I was born in Germany) But I live there at the moment.:)

Post by: xeyexlinerx on 27 May 2006, 13:39: lol, great!
Thanks.
And I'll get on to shrinking my avatar.

Oh and I've just listened to that Mclusky band. Different but, I'm getting used to it. :D

'mclusky do dallas' is a great album.

some very funny welsh-based humour and really nice riffs.
good for putting on when getting ready to go out i find!

Oh god, don't tell me about Welsh humor lol! Terrible.

Good God, does that mean we'll finally get a respite from the 'I like girls. Because I'm gay. I mean the singer of this band is hot, but he's a dude, so I don't like him, because I'm a gay. Who likes girls. I do! I touched a girl's boob once, I swear! I'm like, so gay it's not even funny. My mum doesn't understand me, because I'm gay.

GAY!'

Post by: Azathoth on 27 May 2006, 16:14: What I want to know is this: Where the fuck do all these lame bands get off thinking they can name their band something similar to My Bloody Valentine?! Go listen to Loveless or on second thought, don't - it is beyond you.

I saw Mclusky live. The singer reminded me of a British Jack Black. Good times.
Title: Take A look at this band =O
Post by: Kai on 27 May 2006, 17:28: I am pretty sure the words 'Bullet', 'Bloody', 'Valentine', 'Razor', 'Razorblade', 'Butterfly', 'Razorwinged butterfly', 'butterflies that happen to have wings of razors', and 'my gillete razor will not slit my wrists oh woe is me' are all banned from any band name ever.

Take a look at these hands.
Take a look at these hands.
The hand speaks. The hand of a government man.

Post by: Thoku on 27 May 2006, 17:53: I've always seen Bullet for my valentine as being too emo. But i guess thats because I dislike a lot of the screming you tend to get in the songs from those types of bands.

I think you just trash-talked My Bloody Valentine. But you are a fine discerning fellow so clearly I must be mistaken.
Title: Take A look at this band =O
Post by: Kai on 27 May 2006, 18:11: I've actually never listened to them. I will say the name is terrible. It also mocks pretty much the mold for far too many shitty teenage bands too.
Title: Take A look at this band =O
Post by: jcknbl on 27 May 2006, 18:21: Well My Bloody Valentine were around long before these shitty mall punk bands. The name comes from a low budget b-horror flick- whereas these radio-safe emo bands made up their names and are completely sincere about them.
Title: Take A look at this band =O
Post by: Kai on 27 May 2006, 18:23: I know they've been around for a much longer while than all the mall punk bands. And the fact that it is from a crappy horror film doesn't make up for the fact that it's still terrible.
Title: Take A look at this band =O
Post by: Garcin on 27 May 2006, 19:18: I guess I associate something different with the name since I know and love MBV but am blissfully ignorant about the mall punk bands. Seriously though -- the parents of shoegazer. Good stuff!

Also, keep in mind that it's a British band, so bloody has a double meaning :)
Title: RE
Post by: Azathoth on 27 May 2006, 20:55: My Bloody Valentine is an awesome name for a band but you'd have to hear their music to reach that conclusion. The name fits their sound perfectly - just not in the way you think it does (if you haven't heard them, that is). Am I making sense?

Is that just a random recommendation? Anyway, if you like TFL, check out Magma, although you may have already, I dunno.
Title: Take A look at this band =O
Post by: Rizzo on 28 May 2006, 00:11: I like mallcore! It's the only genre I'm ashamed of liking.
Also, I like girls too! Wait a minute... there's something odd about this... YOU'RE A GIRL... (guys, I think she might be gay...)
[/retarded]

Seriously though, the last time there was a mallcore fan here he got so bummed that he quit in spite. Anyone else remember Kikanjuneko?

Post by: Johnny C on 28 May 2006, 01:05: I think the problem is that we don't like bands and our knee-jerk reaction is "FCUKIN EMOTAL BANDS GHUAHUHUHRWOAAAAAAAAAAAAR" and this is worse than "I am not a fan, no. But try 'x' band" which some people have been doing above to some success.

I do not like Bullet For My Valentine, and I am not enough into their scene to recommend a band to you that would sound similar but I like. I'm sure such a band exists though.

Post by: jcknbl on 28 May 2006, 01:12: One of these days someone will show up telling us all to check out this hip band called "Creed". All hell will break lose.

Post by: Luke C on 28 May 2006, 02:48: Bullet have only become big because British rock media wanted a British band to challenge Trivium. They both suck.

If this band were a Florida death metal band, they'd be called Gaytheist.

Post by: Kai on 28 May 2006, 05:04: You are my hero.

And yeah, I remember Kikanjuneko. I didn't think we were being horrible with his mallcore/metalcore stuff. Apparently we were. *shrug*
Title: Take A look at this band =O
Post by: Inlander on 28 May 2006, 05:10: He quit? Aww, that's sad! I liked him.
Title: Take A look at this band =O
Post by: Hat on 28 May 2006, 05:13: One of my housemates is desperatly in love with Bullet. I am pretty sure this is a decent reason to dislike them, but I have too much other shit to listen to, to listen to enough of them to be able to form a coherent opinion about them. I don't like the fact I'm willing to pre-judge like that and not even listen to them, but seriously guys, I dont know if you're noticed this, but...

There is a lot of dang music out there

That's a lie and you know it! There are at most only 10 bands in the world, and maybe 20 EVER.

Post by: timehat on 28 May 2006, 08:01: Not only that, but they're all Mike Patton side projects.
Title: Take A look at this band =O
Post by: est on 28 May 2006, 08:03: To be honest I actually kind of liked them until the singer opened up his mouth. Is it so hard to get a decent singer these days?

<singer> "GUYS, I DON'T REALLY KNOW HOW TO SING BUT I'M THE LEADER OF THE BAND RITE SO I'M JUST GONNA YELL STUFF OUT AND LIKE, WE CAN TURN ME DOWN A LITTLE SO THE MUSIC WILL COVER OVER IT OK?"

<band> "ok fuck, whatever dude, just don't kick me out"

And now I'm listening to Music to Make Love to Your Old Lady By. I'm not a huge Handsome Boy Modeling School fan, but the combination of Mike Patton and Dan the Automator is brilliant.

(Sorry to kill the funny joke, though)

Post by: amok on 28 May 2006, 14:23: This rash of shitty not-emo/something-core bands really makes me ashamed to admit that I come from Wales. Fucking South Wales is the breeding ground for these assholes, the "Music Scene" around here consists of 50 Funeral For A Friend-a-likes popping up every week to further annoy everyone. Bring on the next shitty trend in MTV rock music already.

Post by: Misereatur on 28 May 2006, 14:23: Although I'll probably be flamed for this: Anything with Patton in it is good.

Post by: timehat on 28 May 2006, 15:18: Not by me. I don't love everything he's worked on, but the vast majority of it is well above par. His vocal prowess and creativity are quite sharp.

Post by: Storm Rider on 28 May 2006, 16:05: Patton's stuff is mostly a mixed bag with me.
