Also, I mean, seriously, without me to prompt your moving eulogies to Fugaxzi, this thread would just be 30 hipsters cumming on Ian Mackayes face.

I don't think we would even be that aggressive.  It's more like the other way around.

Wouldn't be able to get any in his mouth though, right?  He wouldn't like that at all.

At this point why do we even try to debate Khar about music, let alone Fugazi, a band we all know he doesn't like?? It would be as futile as me going into a thread about whatever metal band and saying I don't like them and the fact they dress like Blade: Trinity extras makes them even worse.

Do you even have any idea what music I like and why?

Also, I mean, seriously, without me to prompt your moving eulogies to Fugaxzi, this thread would just be 30 hipsters cumming on Ian Mackayes face.

Do I ever need to know what music you like and why, since every few threads I get to hear about what bands you hate and why?? I can form a pretty good picture of someone based solely on what bands they hate and the reasons they give for hating them. Whether or not you think that's a good way to judge someone, it doesn't matter, since every thread I see you hating in you invariably end up saying "hipster" at some point, which is just as nebulous as me saying you like metal.

30 Ian Mackayes cumming on our faces? I didn't know he had access to a cloning machine.

Fugazi pretty much suck the hardest, I would rather listen to ameteur DJ mashups of spice girls and nsync for 5 hours straight than a minute of the pretencious, self indulgent 'works' Fugazi have 'created'.

^ Now see, thats why I've been a reasonable little boy.

Shall we take this thread all the way and mention how hard straight-edgers suck? Even if Mackaye didn't technically invent it and all its silliness. When you have fun, you're rocking out with the man! Fucking potheads suck man, wasting their lives and fogging their brains, the path to true happiness is to replace intoxicants with violence! Woohoo!

You know what, not only was straight edge a damn good idea but it also created a huge amount of great music. I'll take college fonts, stage dives, vegan pride, chunky mosh riffs, singalongs and more rampant homoeroticism than power metal over most things any day of the week.

I held off on replying to this, but fuck it... the original poster asked for basically exactly what the thread "would just be" if you take out your lame imagery.  It's supposed to be a thread where people who love the band talk about why they love them and what their favourites are.  How is that a problem? 

I don't like Fugazi much, but it's not like you're some righteous crusader for sticking it to some sacred cow.

Straight Edge has become a fucking joke, face it anyone who has been to a gig in the last 5 years knows it, the SXE crowd are a bunch of fucking wankers, travelling around in packs and trying to downplay everone else around them. Peter Dolving summed it up best with a post on he's blog:
Quote

The Real Irony Of A Kid In A MINOR THREAT T-Shirt
"So it's springtime and we're in Deventer, Holland.

"The show was fucking weird. On one side of the room, a bunch of 'ironic' (?) HC kids with MINOR THREAT and SXE t-shirts doing mock dance moves, I guess feeling superior somehow, and then there's metal heads who obviously know we don't give a fuck how you look when you're digging the rock, then younger dudes — kinda trying to do some kind of 'metal/HC' dance, but still into it.

"Anyway, we had a good time. What gets me a little bummed though is how anyone can put on a MINOR THREAT t-shirt and fucking downplay the people around you, and irony for that matter is such fucking cowardice. Sarcasm, hey — that I can dig. But fucking irony? From some 19 year old kid in a MINOR THREAT t-shirt... that's just — ironic.

"Poor kid. I asked him if he wanted to fuck after the show between two songs, cause he was doing a great very gay dramatization of one of our songs, but I think he might have thought I was serious — 'cause him and his very 'scene' friends left a song and a half later... And there you go, ironic people never deal to well with sarcasm.

"I mean, come on, if you come to a HAUNTED show, it's not like we're gonna pretend we're some fucking wisecracks, nor are we the smartest dudes in the room — ever.

"Really.

"We play the fucking metal. There's nothing ironic about it. And we are serious about it too.

"No — we are not there to do anything else. What's hard to get with that?

"If you want to stand completely still with you eyes shut most of the show and just listen, like one dude did today, that's fucking cool with us — because he listened, and we play — so that makes perfect fucking sense.

"Some will dance, some won't — but don't come to our show to fucking patronize and mock people enjoying the rock, that's just degrading yourself, and proving to everyone around you - that you obviously missed the point.

"See, if you don't like us, that's just fine with us. But if you're fucking dumb enough to actually pay to get in, not even like our music, and hang out to make some kind of statement?

"Sure, go ahead. By the way, thanks for your support, that ironic buck goes a long way...

Oh man, I could talk about vegan pride all day, but I have to go put together this rambling 7000 word essay on how feeding children milk constitutes child abuse. Then I thought this evening I would go to an Earth Crisis gig and listen to an hour of inane chugga-chugga songs about how human cruelty is destroying our world whilst repeatedly kicking other kids in the head. Then I thought maybe me and my crew would go beat up some people for smoking. Its scum like that who'll destroy our civilisation.

Guys, this is dumb. Kharbevnor's original comment was fair and it made very clear why he didn't like this band.

Tommy, there's nothing wrong with arguing with him.  He wouldn't have posted here if he didn't think he could get some responses.  He tried to make us see that the band is mediocre, and we don't see them as mediocre.

I don't think he was trying to make you see anything.

"I can see why people would like them, but..."
"I could probably learn to like them, but I have yet to put the effort in..."

Not everyone's trying to pick an argument.

You're just jealous that no matter how hard you wish, none of your favorite bands will ever dress up like he-man rejects.


Also guys, up to this point I'd based my opinion of Fugazi on Red Medicine, and I really didn't like it, but I listened to In on the Kill Taker because of this thread, and shit.

I might actually like Fugazi.

This is so fucking weird

In On The Kill Taker is such a great album.

I'm not gonna lie, it used to be the Fugazi album that I really disliked.  I thought, "Man, all their other stuff is really good, why does this album make no sense."  And then I listened to it constantly for two days straight, and suddenly it dawned on me just how good it is.  It is now one of my favorites.

You're quite right. Manowar look nothing like He-Man rejects, they're more in the Conan extras league. But as much as I love them, they'll never be as camp as a bunch of men in vests getting good and sweaty in the pit no matter how much they baby oil their pecs.
