Game: ultimate non-metal band

[Hitori]

decimals shouldn't be allowed, it just makes things more complicated
same thing as saving up points, strikes me as unfair
doesn't this thing have rules?

12 - Dead Can Dance
9.5 - Radiohead (+2)
11 - Nick Cave
11.5 - Pink Floyd
08 - Tori Amos
14 - Dredg
10 - Air
13 - Depeche Mode
13.5 - Muse (-2)
11.5 - Die Toten Hosen
09 - Infected Mushroom
9 - Blackmore's Night
9 - Sigur Rós
8 - System of a Down
11 - Tool

plintus only forgot to delete the +2 from previous post, he didnt add those 2 points, if you mean that, Hitori. And I agree, going with 0.5s is stupid, I hope UC will keep his promise and never do it again.

It's still 8, so I'm clean

Yeah, no saving points, it's supposed to be "+" and "-", also, as it was said: you take points from some band and give them to another, so it can't be -2 and that's it then.

SOAD is like random noises, they have a number of songs I like, but overall - not my thing. Still can't get why Mezmerize sold like 400.000 copies first week... last two records got me so tired of them after a few spins, that I never got back to them since

On the contrary I love SOAD, it's one of my favourite bands. Serj's voice is great imo and his style of singing and ideas are totally unique. John Dolmayan is also one of my favourite drummers, I picked up quite some tricks from him (Toxicity was a lot of fun to learn ), and although there's only one guitar it never gets boring.

Randon noises eh? Well I wouldn't say that, you just have to get used to their style, it does take some time to get it though - like for many people DT is just random distorted noise, blasting and undecipherable screaming.

Blitzkrieg Pajo, do you actually know SOAD that good that you can say that about their lyrics and goals? Do you think the same about Axis of justice?

And somehow, I find it very logical that people who voted for In Flames on the other thread are now supporting Muse. :Smug:

how do you mean that? I don't find them comparable in any way.

Can't stand that voice... it's like he's sobbing all the time.

I like emo.
And no, they're not comparable.

I hope UC will keep his promise and never do it again.

I never promised anything. In fact, i never said i wouldn't do it again.

[QRV]

Well, IF is gay and Muse is metrosexually deranged. So they both have a sexually perverted continuity.

 

[Magrathean]

Aww!
And i suppose you would say the same about any other emo band..?

 

[QRV]

Why, yes. Yes I would.

 

[Blitzkrieg Pajo]

Blitzkrieg Pajo, do you actually know SOAD that good that you can say that about their lyrics and goals?

well if not I would say that BYOB is about parties and bombs, which makes absolutely no sense and is therefore an even dafter song than I thought before.

Do you think the same about Axis of justice?

I don't know them.

[QRV]

Don't worry, there are more pro-Radioheads than anti-Radioheads.

 

[Siren]

I never promised anything. In fact, i never said i wouldn't do it again.

If you do it again, your votes for the day are cancelled.

Haven't really paid attention to what you have voted for/against (or anyone for that matter).

I have nothing against any of the bands on the list. This should be obvious to anyone who's not an idiot:

1. You have to give negative points.
thus
2. Decreasing points does not equal to hating/being against a band.

Wrong, baby: Tankian's style is NOT unique at all, it's something might be original for untrained ears, but the way of singing seems to be influenced - one Armenian guy I know told me the way he sings - the same way it is done in Armenian churches

I'm listening to them for about 4 years now, all I know they suck live (in comparison), and what really gives me a grin is that Armenians listen to SOAD only cuz it's run by Armenians, when there is a huge number of far more decent bands Hey, those Armenian fellows don't even listen to anything heavier than Muse

But whatever. I recognize those guys as musicians, but don't dig what they are doing

It was a joke.

I know. Again, it was a joke.

 

[KryptoN]

The first part: note the smiley.
The second part: not talking to you.

 

[Magrathean]

Well, you made it seem evident that you were talking to me throughout the whole post.
