Stupid shit you hear as a metalhead....

Post count doesn't change the validity of something, but if one has only just joined a community, one is looked appon differently. Low post count/having been here for only a short time doesn't change the content, but it can affect opinions.

Something said by someone who joined in 2000 or whatever will be treated differently to the same thing said by someone who joined only yesterday.


P.S. Slayer may be 'trendy' or whatever, but they are still good and one of the early bands. Same sort of thing goes for Metalica to some degree, though Metallica is rather different due to what they have become (nowdays they are pretty much just a tired name which is being used to make money, which is sad, really). If your going to complain about someone judging you based on post count, you shouldn't judge music based on it's popularity.

If a band has been around a long time and has been good (especially classic bands), it shouldn't be suprising if lots of people like them/they become popular. The only problem is when people only listen to them because of their popularity.

Yes, there may be lots of good 'underground' bands, but that doesn't mean there can't be any anywhere else.

to be content is the lamest, lowest goal one can possibly set for onesself. if you rlyrlyrly care about music, then you will always be in need of a new fix of that feeling you get when you hear something that changes the way you've thought about music up until that point...

to be content is the lamest, lowest goal one can possibly set for onesself.

Actually, I believe it is something quite worthwhile, few people attain it, too many spend their entire lives needing/wanting more. Being content does not mean you have to stick only with what you have, stagnating, it just means you don't need more, it means you are satisfied. But this paraghraph is more about life in general, not really music.


About music: what is important is what the person enjoys most. You may enjoy spending large amounts of time searching for things which affect you particularly, but that isn't any better or worse than people who take a more relaxed approach, and just enjoy what they come accross in their travels.

I might be able to compare it to surfing: there are people who search for 'the perfect wave', and there are others who just seek enjoyment in their surfing. Neither aim is better, the most important thing is that the both enjoy what they do.


My ability to say what I mean is really bad. Oh-well.

to be content is the lamest, lowest goal one can possibly set for onesself.

If you have a mindset that constantly demands fresh sources of exitement and gets bored easily then I'm sure this is true, but not everyone is like that.

 

[anonymouswierdo]

why, are you autistic or something?

Don't think so. 'Tis just trouble coverting thoughts into words. Could be due to lack of practice.

that's exactly what's being suggested, tho.

You may enjoy spending large amounts of time searching for things which affect you particularly, but that isn't any better or worse than people who take a more relaxed approach

actually, yes, it is better. i am better at listening to and enjoying music than someone with a less extensive palate. i don't see how there's any argument there.

I might be able to compare it to surfing

and i might and maybe

My complete argument: You like The Streets.

 

[Carcassian]

...thus rests the case for the prosecution...*Judge dons black cap*

 

[Teh Grimace]

You like The Streets.

no, i love the streets.


mike ftfw.


i love the new one too, it's 2x as good as "a grand".


edit: "Can't Con An Honest John"

Using the following, I'm going to show you:

A) How to con someone using their own greed,
B) That you won't feel bad 'cos they're trying to con you anyway, and
C) TAKING THEIR MONEY!

As I have come to realise, running the beats is just getting people's confidence.

This scam only works 'cos that man thinks he's working this scam
And that you man off his mark
Get your mate, let's call your mate Piers
No, not Piers, let's call him Farquhar
Anyway get Farquhar to crawl into a bar with his dog
Like I said, the barman will try and con you later
but you're gonna take all his money.
Anyway, get Farquhar to pass into a local bar
And call to the bar to look after a dog for a dart
Just for 20 quid for a while, claiming that he hated it
But it was worth more than his car
This, by the way, requires that you find and supply Farquhar
With an animal, and a life, from your local park.
Get a nice dog that doesn't bark
But not so nice that someone might miss this mutt from the park

Anyway, using this technique you're gonna take all this man's money
But you're not gonna care, cos he's gonna fucking deserve it

[Chorus]
You'll never con an Honest John
An Honest John you can't drag down (Exactly!)
Con-do-lee get conned
When they think they're the cunning one (It's all one big con)
Neighbour you won't con
An Honest John

Now listen, get Farquhar to dart out the bar
And just shop for some garm's, maybe
Just to pass an hour or so
I would go shopping cos' I gave up drinking
But whatever, just have Farquhar down the road
Now you walk in the bar, walk up to the barman
Order a jar, when you've caught him slouched on his own
Start eyeing the dog that he's minding by his side
Currently vibe him and start on about the dog you own.
Start asking the barman, if it's his fine specimen of a dog
Nod, smile, agree, look interested and cool
When he tells you it's someone else's you've just left previous
Tell him, 'This is a very rare breed of animal.'
Last time I lied my manager swiped me
But lie, and tell him it's like a fucking Red-Eared Hunting Spaniel.
Tell him it's worth 600 quid and you would pay handsomely if you were to accept finance at all

[Chorus]
You'll never con an Honest John (Sometimes...)
An Honest John you can't drag down (...Sometimes I think I should just go completely...)
Condolee get conned
When they think they're the cunning one
Neighbour you won't con an Honest John (Keep listening though, it's important that you keep listening...)

Now take all his shopping off him
Get your mate Farquhar to pop in
Looking straight gutted a bit later on
He should order a jar, talk at the bar
Ensure he looks calm, warm with the barman
And generally start conversating on.
Farquhar should start falling apart
About how he's arsed up some chance
And how arsed up his day was.
Or in the event, the spread betting he's getting ready to accept
That his rent's not getting payed up.
The barmans mind will chime slowly for a while
He might wipe the bar, as his mind is making sums.
Farquhar should continue to moan about money
And that this mutt is not the greatest of his worries.
And like 'ching!', the barman will five out of six times
Kindly offer his greed to buy the dog for a price of 300 quid
And after some bartering, your barman will haggle and charge harder
In greed of the scent of the scheme in his head. (That's right, neighbour!)

You'll never con an Honest John
An Honest John you can't drag down
Condolee get conned
When they think they're the cunning one
(The barman, is gonna see how much he can stitch you up for.)
Neighbour you won't con an Honest John
(How does that work? Cos' everytime it's based around someone who thinks they're conning you.)

They'll never imagine the whole scenario is prepared solely for him
Why should he?
That sort of paranoia can get you in the loony bin!

As I have come to realise, running the beats is just getting people's confidence.
AND THAN TAKING THEIR MONEY!

It's all one big con.

 

[Carcassian]

Which makes it exactly half as good as eating dog shit.

 

[anonymouswierdo]

'The Streets'... I don't think it even deserves to be called 'music'. Pretty much just some bloke talking. Annoying, at best.


EDIT: this place may be deprived, but I'm depraved!

 

[Teh Grimace]

@ carc

lols x2

 

[The Heartbreak Kid]

Then fuck off

 

[The Heartbreak Kid]

Are Italians racist? -Because I heard they were racist.


Just wondering...

You get an A*

 

[Carcassian]

You put that quote in your sig?


this place really is deprived.

Actually, yes. Reason: I BUY music. I don't P2P etc.

Hence, while I do (frequently) get new music, it rarely comes up to the standard of my tried and tested favourites The vast majority of my top 20 albums of all time had been compiled by 1996.

So? I've yet to see you post one thing of interest in the short time you've been here. I would love to see something of interest from you, to be honest, rather than another "Oh noes!!!1111 You guy are Teh Suck!!!23!! You mean you think Leviathan is UG???? WTf Nigga PLz !!!!1111"

 

[Carcassian]

It is classified as underground music, yes.

Is it well known to people who know about black metal? - yes. Which was my original point, dickhead.

Learn to differentiate between concepts.


This board is fully of trendy poser cocksuckers: that is of interest.

Then please, don't let us keep you. I suspect I will get over the loss of your immense metal knowledge, with time and counselling.

 

[Carcassian]

Not really, I just like to talk about metal, without the drama, if at all possible.

I would be more than happy to chew the fat with you on a metal related discussion. Tbh, forum dramas are something I'm not overly interested in. If they amuse you, then hey, knock yourself out, Champ.

 

[Carcassian]

Yet you quoted it and put it in your sig! ahahahahahhahahahahahaa

It's called irony, fuck-wit.

 

[Teh Grimace]

shut up fuck please. everyone.

 

[Teh Grimace]

shut up. now.
