DISCLAIMER
im written this while im extremely hung over after my birthday last weekend where i drank for three days straight, a gig this friday night in canberra kickass: super bourbons ) and drinking in sydney on saturday night with ebolie and maximum perversion. bullshit tolerance is none existent at this moment in time.
yep im a fussy fucker. i know it. but i'll still be at the gig. i bitch cause there are not many bands that im interested in. most of the bands that are around in recent years bore me. it doesn't stop me going to gigs every single fuckin weekend. i like good music. most people are making crappy music. the reason people don't come out to gigs is because the standards of bands that regularly play around the traps are crap. i wish people would have the decency to not make crappy music. but its all opinion.
i know im out of the ordinary at the moment. i don't care about melodic death or the varients. most grind core is self indulgent ADD bullshit. don't care about black metal. Im a huge fan of alchemist, have been for years, but i don't like them live, they are an excellent studio band. most the metal i listen is stuff that doesn't make me fall asleep. its bad when you feel like sleeping at a gig. its funny when its a black/death band playing brutal shit, and ill name an example, psycroptic. i've seen im twice now. first time i was slightly pissed and thought it was just my mood at the time. second time i was staight as fuck and i was bored. they aren't the only band that has done that to me.
most death/black/grind bands bore me. why? because they don't entertain me. and its only at this point in time. my opinions on what i like change. looking back at what i've listened to in years before. everytime i talk to somebody about this shit, i ask them to tell me bands they would recommend that i'd never heard of. i normally find something on the net or in a store somewhere. i'd listen. very fucking rarely would something interest me.
concerning soilwork, it was me who said that. id only heard the last two albums and noone i knew could be bothered copying or lending me the albums to listen to before the gig. so i just got really fuckin drunk. i watched em. listened. every now and then they did something good that me headbang. i want to see bands that when i first hear them, i get shivers up the back of my neck. i don't want to listen to background music. i want to listen to music that leaves me with no decision but to cut loose and enjoy myself. every fucker that has come drinking with me and morbid will tell you what we like doing. drinking and listening to good fuckin metal. lifes too short to listen to crap.
i don't like watching bands i don't like. or at least haven't heard before.
and if anybody says im just being a cunt because we didn't get on. GET FUCKED, we knew weren't going to be on the bill back in june when we supported alchemist in sydney.
i say all this and i still go to gigs, cause i know i'll go there and see some band i don't know at all, have a drink with mates and have a good time. or i'll go there, not enjoy myself, get really drunk have a good time and bitch like this again, that they're aren't many bands that i want to see. and people will call me names cause i've got different musical tastes than them and the current aus music scene doesn't cater to me.
