SCREW NIKE!!!!!!!!

 

[Stun]

So basically, Slayer are more the money-whores than ever.

I'm curious, what if Nike released "Slayer limited edition OLD SKOOL sK8 4eVa!" shoes or something, would you then say "SCREW VANS" or something similar? Or maybe "SCREW REEBOK" or whoever wasn't endorsing Slayer? Oh, but I suppose I probably already know your answer; that these are SKATE SHOES, and that's a whole different ball game, right? Or something.

 

[Vic Rattlehead]

What the fuck.

I think he supports Slayer 100%, since the band has known him for for years, but your right, its a whole different ball game........way outta your league!

 

[Yetti]

those are ugly

 

[Stun]

You had no way of knowing, but I'm still getting kinda tired of ppl assumming I haven't been there and done that. I used to skate, and all my friends used to skate, and I know a lot of these big brand skate shoes are fucking shit quality... I know guys who used regular sneakers and shit that lasted way longer than some skate shoes.

 

[MindInsane]

Hey Stun, why don't you go shit all over another board...we're growing tired of your insults here. Someone thinks something's cool and you come in here and try your best to make them feel like shit. Well let me tell ya...jackass...you never know who you are talking to on these UM boards..so maybe you should take that into consideration next time you decide to be a rude fuck!

 

[charnee]

What the fuck.

 

[perfecterror]

Does anyone else here, besides me, think that, despite the fact that this whole thing is a stupid idea, those shoes look like shit anyway?

I fucking hate Vans. Slayer will not make me buy Vans, unless Soundtrack To The Apocalypse is included with it for free.

 

[Testament Legions]

I personally miss the old style of athletic shoes like these... can't get used to the new space-age looking crap that's so 'in style' these days...

and so fucking what if I'm old-fashioned.

 

[Stun]

Look Mi, I don't have a grudge against you, although you obviously have one against me... but I'm sorry, those shoes suck, (today's) Slayer sucks, I'm not entirely sure but I bet Vans sucks, and this is a msg board where people post their opinions. Why don't you slam everyone else too for not liking the shoes, huh? It's not my fault that Slayer are a bunch of whores for money... and I esp resent the part that suggests I should care who I was talking to. Well I don't. I wouldn't care who I was talking to, even if it was Chuck himself.

And I don't try to make people feel like shit! If I wanted to, I would. EDIT: But I suppose that was a bit harsh the way I put it to Billy... sorry, dude. It just seems to me that if they're calling something 'old skool' that it should, you know, look old skool or something.

This is a Testament board........and Thats Chuck's son your talking to, so show some respect..........He likes the shoes & so do I..........he's not that much younger than you are, but I bet that Son Of A Billy, would punch your lights out!.............& make you lick his shoes!

 

[Stun]

Yes, thank you for pointing out all these things I wasn't aware of... you know, since I had no idea that this was the Testament board, and didn't know that son of a billy is the son of Chuck Billy... oh yeah, I did, since I'm not a blind idiot like you seem to suggest. I was here when he made his first post (at least under that name), and said hello with everyone else. However, I've already explained why I said what I said, and I even apologized for having such a bitter reaction to yet another commercial endorsement by a band that has been going downhill for some time now. Ok? You ain't who your father is, you're what you say and what you do. :Smug: And I don't give a shit if you think he can kick my ass. This is the internet. It can't go beyond words... although trust me, on this board I've often wished it could.

 

[hiddenlegions]

Dude, I don't think there is anyone on here that doesn't think your a little fuckin prick.

 

[Ultimate_Symphony]

It seems bands can't make money nowadays

 

[MindInsane]

Look Mi, I don't have a grudge against you, although you obviously have one against me...

I Don't have a grudge against you Stun...at first I thought it was cool that you were back..but then it became apparent that you harbor some shitty feelings towards people on this board and you began immediatly slinging insults (ie; the comment that you made about being happy that we were expanding our musical horizons...as if were a bunch of retards with closed minds) I take things like that personally..because I listen to a little of everything and don't like to be lumped into a generalization.



Why don't you slam everyone else too for not liking the shoes, huh? It's not my fault that Slayer are a bunch of whores for money...

Yes...it's not your fault that in your opinion...Slayer are "whores for money". BUT it is your fault that you completely attacked someone for thinking they were cool...and that person I happen to care about and don't like people being rude to him...I mean...for Christs sake...he posts in here once every 6 months and you have to turn his thread into a negative slam. Just not cool at all. If you'll notice..everyone else that said they are ugly...left it at that...you had to continue and say shit about what Son Of A Billy "probably thinks" (necessary? I think not!)



and I esp resent the part that suggests I should care who I was talking to. Well I don't. I wouldn't care who I was talking to, even if it was Chuck himself.

That's infinitely obvious.

 

[Stun]

Uh, DE said something about thinking Chuck's son could kick my ass, if that's what you meant by talking about what "I" probably think. You must have missed his post or something or I'm misunderstanding.

Oh, the musical horizons line? Well that's because a bunch of people said "keyboards get in the way of the music" and "keyboards suck" or "the keyboards are overpowering" or whatever they said... I didn't mean to be rude when I said that. You say you take it as a personal insult, well you ever thought maybe I get annoyed when people say that keyboards take away from the music? Opinions again.

I like keyboard, when it's well done... and I happen to think that -most- of the time they're very well done in CoB... not always. But still very cool and it sets them apart from other bands. It's my observation that keyboard cannot detract from the music if it's well done. That's what started this all, really. :Spin: Maybe one day you will think as I do. Or maybe you already think so but think CoB's keys don't fit with the guitar...?

NP: Hammer of the Gods (this song is great)

 

[HUNGER OF THE UNDEAD]

I think they are ridiculous. Whats next for Slayer, backpacks? sunglasses? How else can they cash in? Maybe if youre a 14 year old kid these might look cool, I dont know.

 

[HUNGER OF THE UNDEAD]

and TLegions, I dont think your old fashioned at all. As far as sneakers go, I havent worn anything aside from Converse high tops since high school. I hate the, as you said, space age looking basketball sneakers everyone's been wearing for the past 15 years too.
