Godspeed Still on Hiatus, Not Completely Broken Up

Guys, I don't think it's exactly helpful to debate about "best" and "worst" albums in a band pretty much defined by mediocrity to begin with.

...Did I fool anyone into thinking they were reading a zerodrone post at first?

You fooled me into discounting your opinion for a while.

Good enough for me.

I heard that when people yell during Silver Mt. Zion concerts "When are Godspeed getting back together?" Efrim says "When are you and your ex-gilfriend getting back together?"

That is awesome.

Tempted to verify this next month. But I'd rather not piss him off, since I'm expecting a rather good show.

My encyclopedic knowledge of the minutiae of Independent Music is failing me.

Can anyone think of a band that went on 'Hiatus' and actually returned? I need specific proof of the usage of this word to deem an answer as correct.

American Music Club? System of a Down? Slipknot?

Johnny C · « **Reply #56 on:** 11 Feb 2008, 11:09 »

Maybe they should have stayed on hiatus.

bbqrocks · « **Reply #57 on:** 11 Feb 2008, 12:07 »

Your not counting shitty bands in a count of how many out of all bands have come back from a hiatus? Seems like a pretty stupid way to go about it.

What about "", "", "", "", and ""?

No, they were all shitty. I'm not counting them.

Jackie Blue · « **Reply #58 on:** 11 Feb 2008, 12:15 »

The Breeders went on hiatus rather than breaking up.

Caspian · « **Reply #59 on:** 11 Feb 2008, 14:59 »

LAME.

I was all excited as well

Here's hoping there's some sort of automobile accident, just to totally prevent any chance of a regroup.

Johnny C · « **Reply #60 on:** 11 Feb 2008, 17:44 »

In the automobile accident, they would all survive but their instruments would be destroyed.

Sox · « **Reply #61 on:** 11 Feb 2008, 18:27 »

Caspian, do GY!BE really bother so much that you would rather they break up due to physical injury than have to avoid listening to their music? It is very easy not to listen to GY!BE. Infact, I'm doing this right now. I dislike a lot of music, but I don't troll their fan base and post inflammatory comments. I don't think that's a good way to endear yourself to people. You have the benefit of doubt, and I think you're probably trying to play devil's advocate a little bit. But I think you need to re-read your post and revise your approach.

Godspeed Still on Hiatus, Not Completely Broken Up

Must be a slow day in music, P4K. What's the point of rehashing the story and dismissing the claims with absolutely no proof save a quote that says "We've been apart for years now, yeah. We're not officially broken up but we will be eventually. Quit bugging me about it"

Also while it's fairly expected, this makes me sad.

Inlander · « **Reply #65 on:** 11 Feb 2008, 20:30 »

Interesting to note the use of the phrase "permanent hiatus" in that article.

My way of saying "I hope I never hear about a band/person/inanimate object again" is basically by calling for their death in an automobile accident. It's not meant to be taken seriously, but people tend to take it the wrong way - I had another similiar, but much longer/angrier argument with someone about this on my school facebook group where I wished everyone there the same fate. Sarcasm and tongue-in-cheek-ness does not typically go well over the internet, unfortunately.

Also: If you don't troll fan bases and post inflammatory comments then you're missing out, it's a great deal of fun. Sure, this may annoy people, but then a thread about a band I like will come up and everyone will get along again- and if someone wants to troll that thread, then that's fine by me. Or at least, I like to think that I'd still get lulz from it anyway.

Whether you genuinely mean it or not, there are some things that it is never okay to say. Think carefully about this. People have feelings, and shaking them up for kicks is a very asshole thing to do.
For the record, telling all your classmates you wanted them to die is a VERY asshole thing to do. Don't be the asshole, the bad guy.
I understand what you said about 'trolling' for the sake of discussion, but you definitely went about that the wrong way. The idea of playing devil's advocate is not to offend other people by rudely stating an opinion that's fighting the tide.
Look carefully at this thread. People are taking what you are saying out of context and it's making you seem like a much bigger asshole than you are. Playing the asshole and pulling it off is VERY difficult. Most people who try just end up selling themselves short.

Jackie Blue · « **Reply #85 on:** 12 Feb 2008, 18:10 »

It is a scientific fact that the bass is mixed too low on "Only Shallow" and "Soon".

Perfection: denied!

I personally prefer pretty much everything Loveless influenced to Loveless.

But if a lot of other people want to say it's the best thing ever, that's OK!

See guys, there IS a way to state a difference of opinion without being a tool
