« on: November 26, 2009, 12:22:51 AM »You'll need to dumb down a fair bit to match the "quality" of writing to be considered as an opponent of Etude.^ Darren: please give this guy his own forum section "ASK ETUDE", where the rest of us ignoramuses can learn the "inner workings" of the music world.
His well constructed, verbose writing style really gets his obviously well informed points across with a unique "no-bullshit" approach that I think we can all relate to.
No one gets their own section for this before me!

There's just not enough time in the day to point out how may things are wrong with what you just said.
You've all heard the one about arguing on the internet being like the special olympics right? Even if you win you're still retarded..
Matt's right though... arguing with retards can be so much fun!! Who is perceived as the retard in the end? Well, that's for someone else to decide.

The Frontline / Re: Miming on stage - lip-synching
« on: November 25, 2009, 10:17:10 PM »see thats the thing. Tom Araya got up and sung to us and the poor cunt had laryngitis. Sure, it didnt sound that great, but it didnt make the show any less special. Imagine how pissed off we all would have been if he used a backing tape and just mimed over it.If anything, that just does more to boost the integrity of Tom Araya/Slayer. He would rather still perform his vocals, probably at great pain to himself, than disappoint the people who came to see the band. Maybe not the smartest thing to do healthwise, but you gotta hand it to him.
People need to understand (did I just say that!?
) that the way artists like Tom Araya or any other "heavy metal" person view their performance is likely to be vastly different to the way to the way Britney Spears does. It's so rare to see a metal band lip-sync beyond a music video, it's something that most of us will never have to deal with so I really don't see the point of getting upset.

« on: November 25, 2009, 09:51:32 PM »That was sarcastic right?Well, in essence he was saying that performers (ie. singers, given the context of this thread) don't need to really worry about singing because the "energy" (huh?) is derived from other sources (those of which he failed to mention- though perhaps he meant dancing, like he does at home in his Mum's underwear) and that the people who go to show expecting to see a vocalist actually sing (God forbid!) "need to understand" that if the performer sings badly and damages their reputation, they may as well not sing at all.
If he himself followed that line of logic "better to have people respect you than open your mouth and confirm that you are not really that good at what you do", then he would probably not be posting here.
So, in short, the answer is 'yes'.

I just love muscle-head bouncers. Once, after a gig (not at the Rocket Room BTW) when most people had left after closing time, a bouncer held a flick-knife at my mates throat because he was paranoid that he was "after his girlfriend". It was surreal! I had lock my mate in my car while I finished loading out 
The Rocket Room can't afford to piss people/bands off like this.... They should not employ a security company who is going to fuck with people purely because they are drinking/drunk. The "bonus" side of playing there is that alleyway next door is always full of scum when you're trying to load your gear out after 12.

« on: November 15, 2009, 09:29:18 AM »Exactly, the song sux to me but the girl has skills.Well, according to the hype, she's good, and according to the song which has these over-the-top loud guitar solos she's (hmmm) acceptable... but would we even be paying any attention didn't play lead guitar?
Not to argue with you Simon; if she can make a living out of playing this, then that's really lucky for her, but I have a feeling that this is throw-away shit and the media hype about her being booked to go on tour with Michael Jackson as a shit-hot session muso is going to be forgotten very quickly.
And, as Damo said, most of us wouldn't listen to this song by choice anyway... according to me.
Anyway.... this song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M11SvDtPBhA) is way better.... it makes me forget all my problems.

« on: November 15, 2009, 09:00:36 AM »The irony is they know they're being idiots and are playing up to it, c'mon Dan!To those who find the the humour in the subject matter; I take my hat off to them. Which (ironically) is probably the large majority of of the bands who have names like the ones discussed here (I just don't get their humour)... I will never know if they're serious, or taking the piss if I dismiss them because of their name. At the end of the day it's the music that matters and I do like my fair share of bands who have nonsensical band names/songs. I just like it when the concept/theme of the band adds an extra, interesting dimension.
I don't frequent myspace so I don't know what goes on there, but if there's people actually taking those themes seriously and thinking it makes them 'ard cunts, that is indeed retarded.
Personally, I like to think of band names and lyrical themes along those lines as always being ironic/sarcastic/farcical/purposefully immature/etc. Even when Abuse went out of their way to post a rant on their website to say they're dead serious about their rape and torture themes and people shouldn't laugh at their music, to me that just made them all the more hilarious.
By the way, you drum for Cuntscrape, HELLO!Perfect example of what I mean.
Clearly it's time to close that myspace account.
In regard to Cuntscrape, I'm sure everything that is mentioned in the lyrics has, or will be done by at least one person in the band at one time or another... you know it to be true

« on: November 15, 2009, 02:13:26 AM »The irony of that name lies in the fact that it really doesn't make sense. It's clever that way; the fact the words strung together are open to interpretation and conjure up some sort of wierd image. Who/What exactly is a Death Fucking Cunt?Death Fucking Cunt?
Precisely! Irony!
No one understands the intricate subtleties of grind.
It's offensive but it has a unique slant... A one-dimensional name like GutPunchAbortion, however, can only be interpreted one way and relies on the taboo nature of abortion to try and "shock" people.
I may be missing something, but I'd love it if someone could point out the irony in a name like that?
Everyone has seen it a thousand times before..... dream up a shit band name, grab (ie. steal) a jpeg image of some porn/snuff/rotten.com and record a lo-fi demo track on Cool-Edit with drum machine, super-pitch shifted vocals with lyrics about rape/snuff/torture. Then tell everyone you're a brutal cunt with the sickest, most twisted shocking Death/grind band (on myspace!)... I'm getting bored just typing this

Gee, that According to You song is awful.
Watching the video is horrid.... all the Guitar Hero-esque fret board shots and loud guitar solos. I wonder what kind of wanker directed this clip? OK, we get it.... it's girl playing an electric guitar.... Wow!!
She's OK at guitar, and Simon's dead right in my opinion, but I can't stomach that song myself.
Has anyone heard Arch Enemy? They have a girl singer... and she does Death Metal vocals! I'm not kidding!! And she's not afraid to stand up as a strong woman. Check them out, y'all!

« on: November 14, 2009, 04:39:16 PM »Some of my favourite bands have stupid names, and probably stupid lyrics too (since most of them are indecipherable I'll never know).Grind isn't know for creativity, you're right. Those names are all OK, I guess, but it's shit when new bands come along and can't be bothered coming up with a name other than a slightly modified version of a well-established name. Like I said earlier, there are a core group of words that go in to making a stock-standard death/grind name than scream "I have no mind of my own". "Anal", "Intestinal", Um.... even "Cunt".
Corpse Vomit? Cock and Ball Torture? Corpsefucking Art? Aborted? Abortion? Anal Bleeding? Dying Fetus? Intestinal Disgorge? Prostitute Disfigurement? Gorgasm?
The list goes on forever...
Grind isn't exactly known for it's creativity on these things. In most cases I think it's meant to be thought of ironically.
It's like you've heard one band name; you've heard them all, these days.

« on: November 14, 2009, 01:57:26 AM »I always though the way cyanide kills you would somehow manifest itself into a pretty brutal band name or song theme.That's better! Definately a name in there. Could call it Cyanide Psykosis?....
When you're overcome with hydrogen cyanide, you just collapse in a heap because your body doesn't have enough oxygen to keep the brain AND the body going, so it starts to prioritise . The harsh thing is that as you continue to breathe in your weak and eventually comatose state, thus absorbing more and more poision until eventually after longer period of time you absorb a lethal dose and are killed.
Doesn't kill you instantly, just knocks you down and out so you're helpless, then kills you.
Gotta be a good band title in there somewhere.
Anyway, back on topic, uhhhh... What was the topic again?
(haha, not really)Uh, the topic..... Whining about the "music industry" and quarrelling about who's band does/doesn't deserve to win awards..... ho hum. I'm sure there are way more enlightening things we'll all learn as this progresses for another few pages. Funny to read, but.
