OK, let's go over the ground rules
You can't leave first until you chug a beer
And then scoring, you have to chug a beer
You have to chug a beer after all odd-numbered innings
Oh, and the 4th inning is the beer inning






Steve Sax and his run in with the law
Ken Griffy and his grotesquely swolen jaw
We're talkin' Homer.... Ozzy and the Straw!

On second thoughts thats bad idea. Takes up too much precious drinking time. :headbang:

On the contrary, drinking and baseball go together like apple and pie.

There's a reason it's the national passtime  8)

Same thing in Australia. Except it's Cricket instead of Baseball and Footy in winter. I might have you know that I used to play T Ball as and soft ball as a kid. I  even blitzed on the batting at one point. 8)

Cricket is better than Baseball but they both suck I'm afraid - sorry to tell you this but you had to find out some way.

Author I commend you.

Metal has never been about humouring people and not treading on toes - it's the opposite, it is an extremity of speed, aggression etc. That's why I have no qualms about saying that Perth (and Australian) metal is shit, no one I have seen has the combination of balls, vision and skill to step out from under the shadow of international influecnces and create something independent of outside influence.

Of course last time I said that a bunch of under-educated neanderthals were threatening to come and beat me up - the truth hurts!

And who the fuck are YOU? Seems like you've just spent a fair amount of time bagging out the Perth scene but what have you ever done to contribute? Fuck all i'm guessing! Better yet what was the point of this rant? Cant see too many people around here jumping at the chance to agree with you...

Why would he want to contribute to the scene if the scene is shit? Why would people want to get involved in the scene if it's shit?

I know dozens of people that are into extreme metal and are talented musicians but wouldn't and wont ever involve themselves with the Perth scene because the bands are shit, the people are bogans and everyone listens to Slipknot and Tool.

Here we were thinking you had actually learnt something from the whole debacle before but you've reverted back to being a total nitwit.

1. You make somewhat contradicting statements
2. From your uneducated guesses you obviously haven't seen enough local acts to be able to comment on what is around or what state the scene is in, because there are plenty that fulfil your criteria, and go beyond it
3. You must be hanging around the wrong clueless idiots (read perthbands) if you think everyone listens to Slipknot and Tool
4. If someone thought the scene was shit (because of their lack of knowledge), then that would be MORE reason for them to contribute or get involved, if they think they can do better or improve it.

Thought you would have learnt from before but obviously you're a slow learner. Let me spell it out for you. If you are totally clueless and pig-ignorant about a subject, and then you decide to comment about it, you're going to come off looking like a class A moron (which you've done multiple times now). It doesn't matter whether it is about metal or nuclear physics. You're out of your depth so if you decide to comment then be prepared to realise you will only make yourself look stupid.

1. meh

2. How many is 'enough'? At what point have I seen 'enough' bands to be able to qualify my opinion that I don't like the scene? it's a completely arbitrary measure - and as such is meaningless. I can qualify them for you if you want though, give me myspace links to your top 5-10 Perth metal bands and I will tell you on a case by case basis if and why they don't float my boat. Point is I just don't listen to or enjoy second rate or derivative metal. There is no first rate metal in Perth, there are no bands on par with the likes of Mayhem, Death, Atheist, Coroner, Kreator, Terrorizer etc etc, this isn't the bay area, this isn't Norway, this isn't Florida, this isn't NOLA, it's Perth - we will never have bands that good and we will never have a unique or distinct metal scene - EVER.

3. meh

4. Again another dumb cunt saying people should contribute to the scene if they don't like it. On the contrary if someone had a fairly limited exposure to the scene and thought it was shit why would they expose themselves to more of it? That is a counter-intuitive and ridiculous suggestion. I hate the electro scene, I'm not suddenly going to start liking it if I start DJing at The Republic. It's like telling me that one night at metros isn't enough to justifying hating it, that I need to keep going there to make sure of it. It's like telling me that I don't like peas because I haven't eaten enough of them etc etc you get the picture.

You lack insight into other people's minds, You like the scene and you don't understand how other people can't.

Gave Alchemist a chance, underwhelmed.

The only two Australian metal bands I'm willing to give the time of day at the moment are Portal and The Amenta.

Fair enough I wont jam them down your throat but  they really their stride on 'Lunasphere' and 'Organasm', 'Austral Alien' was a bit disapointing.

Portal are ace, so are Rookwood.

Hmmm ... I'm starting to like this guy (despite his slagging off the scene entirely).

Add dISEMBOWELMENT to that list, pronto.
