Houjoue, Merzbear, Boris collaborations, vegetarianism... dude, don't insult me . As for "experiences," ever been to see Sunn playing through the basement in a cathedral so the floor vibrates?

Eh? Yes it does. Well crafted or thought out songs and simple songs aren't necessarily mutually exclusive. It where they're badly thought out, and formulaic that it gets shitty. The "good" feeling, eh? That's more than a little vague, but ok. Er, no mate. Where do you think the phrase "holy shit" came from? No, I would not, but then, I doubt I'd talk to you at all, face to face. It's different on a forum because: fo·rum n. A public meeting place for open discussion. A medium for open discussion or voicing of ideas, such as a newspaper, a radio or television program, or a website. A public meeting or presentation involving a discussion usually among experts and often including audience participation. A court of law; a tribunal.

Frank Zappa is a king, but I guess you're too busy to hear that, because you seem to be under the delusion that all I listen to is shred. I don't. I don't even like shred, it's boring to listen to. I learned how to do it so I have the ability to do whatever the fuck I want as a musician. My developing interests as an instrumentalist are different to my interests in music. Now kindly shut the fuck up and stop objecting the same fucking thing over and over. We get it, you don't like solos. Personally, I think it's all bout the tone of the song. Would you want a solo in a song like Numbered Days? No. Would Stairway be the same song without the solo? No, it would not.

Apart from grammatical inaccuracies, you clearly don't read what I post. As for insulting people, the truth is often insulting, especially since I skip the whole spoonful of sugar thing, or lube, and stick it straight up your ass, still, I'm not bothered; I don't come here to be a people person, or for popularity, people that like me do so cause they know I really don't give a shit whether they do or don't. So if you can cut the "oh I'm so offended" bullshit, and go ahead and point out what deficiencies you see in other people's tastes, without referring to cliches, well that would be a huge step forward for everyone involved. After all, it's a discussion. I wouldn't be half as pissed off if someone actually thought up a decent response for a change rather than "ugh...it's my opinion, respect it, damn you!"

I can't help the way I am. Seriously, though, I just don't get how people can find anything to like in such over produced, repetitive monotony, made for deficient, inattentive pricks who make a mockery of what music is and can be... How does the music make you feel? Like you can sing along to it for 3 minutes? What does it leave you with when it's done? Fuck all. See? It's hard for me not to get worked up.

Maybe...less calming than apathetic I'd say, but still weirdly self affirming. Some great lyrical talent to be sure. .
-
I have a finite reserve of respect, so I like to think it's been earned before I dole it out to you worthless peons. Not only that, but "taste" is a debatable term when it comes to you lot, it's better referred to in terms of the complete lack of it . Also: The Shins are awesome. Thats because you're a soulless drone, forever condemned to plumb the depths of the emotionless and the banal. That sounded very melodramatic...Damn you Bill Hicks!!!

I can't say I think much of your cognitive abilities.

Yeah, for some odd reason, I'm looking forward to Machine Head the most. I've seen all the bands before, Dragonforce put on a very fun show, but they're really just dressed up 80's pop, the Head on the other hand, are always awesome live. Nothing more satisfying than shouting along to the chorus of Seasons Wither in all its fury. Seen Trivium three times, so I'm not really fussed anymore, unless they play some new stuff which happens to be significantly better than the last album. It's weird to finally have a metal band that create their best work fifteen years into their career, hope they keep at it.

Well, looks like I'm going to Black Crusade this wednesday. Should be good, nothing like Shadows Fall to start off with, some light entertainment in the form of Dragonforce/ Arch Enemy, and then Machine Head/ Trivium. Man, Rob Flynn so angry, you gotta love the guy. Not really looking forward to Trivium though, not sure I want to hear the new(er) songs ever again. Let Freedom Ring With A Shotgun Blast!
-
For the most part, yeah, it's ace. Not to say that Jarhead was bad or anything. Was good actually.
-
Went to the cinema today to see "The Jane Austen Book Club." Don't remember any of it . Probably broke the record for sexiest goodbye kiss of all time. I feel good for a change.
-
Thanks ...I think it just gets to you sometimes, better to get up and try to do something about it rather than wallow... Anywhooo...mate brought Mario Galaxy round for a little while with his Wii today...it's so good...can't wait to get my hands on it.

No, my hair used to be ridiculously thick, like really nice and soft, and more than half has fallen out. Every time I touch my hair, a few strands fall off. When I look at my clothes, theres so much hair stuck on them. Everything fits though, I've completely lost any sense of appetite, I have to force myself to eat, and I'm getting more and more depressed by the day. I'm thinking of going to see the doctor again, but I can't shake the feeling that he'll just laugh and tell me to get it cut . I'm actually turning into an emotional wreck...and watching Bill Hicks on youtube isn't helping... Ugh. Life kills.

I thought it was absolutely shocking, and thats coming from a die hard Scrubs fanatic. It was just unfunny, which actually hasn't happened before on Scrubs. Episode 4 was amazing though.
-
Ah, brilliant, episode 4 was fantastic . Too bad the last too were absolutely awful.
-
Why won't my hair stop falling out? *cries* So fucking depressing, it's like, it falls out, and starts growing back again, so it looks uneven. I'm considering getting it cut pretty short, but thats a worst case scenario. I've actually done nothing again today. Just sat in bed and read The Spire. Enjoying it a lot. The writing is so dense though that you don't really pick up on a lot of things the first time you read through a passage.

Air are fucking great. Nice one.
-
Wouldn't that result in a bare load of stubble?
-
Can I get an amen?
-
Jesus, that guy must have it rough.

Anything by Oasis, The Killers, Libertines or Razorlight. I generally don't make a habit of listening to bad music though, so I can't really say.

I've been sat in my chair with my guitar in my lap since I woke up, only thing I ate today was half a tube of jaffa cakes I found in my drawer. It was pretty fun, I feel totally burnt out for some reason though. I also wrote a very angry essay/ rant, at nothing in particular. I need some form of intoxication so I can fall asleep now.
-
Yay, been playing flight of the bumblebee, can get it down well at 208bpm. It's pretty easy, but it looks really hard to play. Great for showing off . My mate was playing this really wierd band called Boards of Canada...they are fucking wierd as hell. Just random beats with crazy noises...and...it was wierd. How's that for articulating myself. I'm gonna play him Battles next time I see him...kinda thing he'd love. For good reason too = ).

Because incest is frowned upon. Too cold?
