Pseudo Intellectuals and Opeth

[Liquid Diamonds]

I said LOL because it was funny. Kanye West is a dumbass who says "BUSH HATES BLACK PEOPLE" on national television. Smart guy. Nice guy.

George Bush pretty much does hate black people. Well, it's not that he hates them, he just doesn't really give a shit about them. A number of his aids from when he was a governer will testify to that.

To be President of a country that has spent the $19 trillion on arms since the end of WW2 (that's the same as $26 million every day for the past 200 years, people), and then to fail to give aid to your own people when they need it, in a situation where the majority of those people are black, tells me something...

Listening to Tool gives you bad breath.

Listening to Opeth makes God stop flooding third world countries which he flooded due to people listening to Nickelback.

Listening to Gorguts makes you look sexy naked.

Case closed.

Listening to Gorguts makes you look sexy naked.

Considering I have never once listened to Gorguts, that would explain a LOT

remember kids: its fun to be a deviant and disagree with everything that makes sense!

step 1! national socialism!
step 2! use complex vocabulary, as often as possible! if a word is too simple, look up another one! if you confuse your audience, they might just agree out of boredom!
step 3! never admit you're wrong! and always act like you're smarter than Albert Einstein. in fact, criticize him often and write articles about how death metal is really a philosophical party stemming from white european traditions! post these articles on any random internet soapbox you can find, offer no responses or insight, and often cite obscure biased websites as "informed scientific" sources to back your bullshit up!

PS: whenever you follow these simple steps, make sure your user name is something reaaaaaaaally complicated and smart-sounding, maybe even in latin! Some good ideas are Laeth MacLaurie, Planetary Eulogy... must stop i'm laughing too hard.

Lets just all smoke a big fattie, drink some moxie with tubbs, and listen to Ghost Reveries from front to back. By the time it is over, the superbowl will be on...... wait I am already doing that.

PS. The only hatespeak here should be towards anyone who rejects the concept of freedom. And Poison.

^ that is an absolutely ridiculous thing to say... maynard and mikael write completely different music mostly about different things. its impossible to compare opeth and tool. why dont some of you dickheads stop being obsessed fanboys who wont hear a word against their band and stop giving shit to a band that deserves numerous accolades. this kind of shit pisses me off. there is absolutely no need to say stupid shit like that above. it just brings on more fanboy attitudes and breeds more fighting. i think its high time this thread was closed moony before tubbs gets bashed.

ps. you really make me laugh moony... a trout haha!

I can handle criticism of Opeth. Sounds like you're the one that can't handle criticism. You're the one swearing and calling me a dickhead because I said Mikael is a better musician/songwriter than anyone in Tool. What have I said that shows that I can't handle criticism?

 

[vampyrouss]

Good piece of reading though, this thread. Good show of all Opethians coming together as they should in a community despite their other musical differences! I don't really see what is so good about Tool by the way, I can listen to them, I just don't get them... obviously talented, just not my thing I suppose!

They don't like Opeth, so fucking what? Musical taste varies

In my experience, 'Pseudo-intellectual' is what you label an intellectual you don't agree with. Perception is the only thing that separates 'artistic vision' from 'pretention'. Everyone acts in an attempt to conform to societal norm, its a defensive instinct.

Ok, so ive got these friends who are the typical "free thinking arty people" you know open to everything blah blah blah, into tool etc beleive everything tool say etc

but id been bugging them to listen to a bit of opeth because i thought they might like it, i told them about the death vocals but the music was good, they are both musicians, really good musicians, drums and bass, they saw about half of lamentations and hated it, but the reason they gave me was that they both have a prejudice against guitar players, and because opeth is very guitar based they hated it, now, these are teh people that are supposed to be "open to every music" but they disregarded it one listen because "they dont liek guitarbased"

this pisses me off

does anyone have any wanky art people they know like this

they just sound like a bunch of ABSOLUTE WANKERS!

I got all I wanted and I'm pretty content...

I think we can close this thread now

i think we can close the thread once falconsbane breaks both his legs or whatever else is going to happen to him

 

[paradoxile]

I don't wish him to break his legs...I wish him to understand the idiotic things he's been saying and repent...
