My Larpstyle determines my Derpstyle
I think most money is in merch & touring for bands now anyway. I like the feeling of buying an album off a band directly though.

Yeah most people can never support all the artists they'd like to, but I'm an "anti-downloader" to the extent that I think people that literally haven't paid a cent towards their favorite bands and then complain about "Oh it's so hard to find good music" are shit. These days I mostly listen to OOP stuff anyways so it doesn't really make a difference I guess.

Well, money made from album sales help the labels releasing the music. I want to support Hells Headbangers or Heavy Chains Records just as much as I want to support the bands on their roster.

Something where I have full control except for the creative side (ie: Everyone contributes their parts and we all come to agreement, but marketing, finances etc are completely controlled by me)
See my ideal band would be the opposite. Creatively controlled entirely by me, but managed by someone else.
Kind of an egomaniac when it comes to my writing (I have four albums of unrecorded black metal material, but I haven't moved forward because I can't find anyone who wants to play without fucking around with the material). Either play what I write or gtfo.

I have a small problem. My band teacher let us out early, so I went to hang out with some kids. We were posing with our middle fingers up for a picture, and my English teacher walked out of her room, and my middle finger was up at her. Class tomorrow will definitely be strange.

Stop doing easily preventable stupid things and then complaining about them.

I would be very wary about entering into an agreement like this. You are probably a good dude but I've been fucked over when giving other people that much power multiple times.
I do want to form some kind of project though. Maybe multiple projects. My dream is a progressive metal mix between Opeth, DT, Arcturus, Symphony X etc. Virtuosic playing, death growls, and amazing writing. Some kind of symphonic black/death metal band would be fun too.The talent needed for these things is extremely high so I haven't even tried to find capable musicians though.

I can see your point. Maybe it could be something where you all agree upon the finances, etc and then one person controls them? I don't know. I like to know what is going on with anything I undertake so if I'm out of the loop I get pissed about shit.

There's being in control and then there is transparency. Problems come in with a lack of transparency.

I mean, this is the Whining and Bitching Thread. Nonetheless, that is good advice. It's just really hard advice to follow. I have trouble following advice, it gets me in a lot of trouble.

So I umpire college baseball and was supposed to have a game tomorrow that got cancelled for unknown reasons, so I called my assignor. He looked at his schedule and realized that he had an urgent need for something today and asked if I was available, which I was. Turns out its fucking high school JV softball at a school thats 40 minutes from me. FUCCCCCCK

I'm on the religious forums chat. They are actually trying to ban me for saying I sniffed glue. They are asking shit like "which state do you live in", "how old are you", and "did you sniff glue". Is it even their business?

- Debater Slayer:
Have you talked explicitly about possessing and sniffing glue? - Iron Wizard:
What do you mean by explicitly? - 3 minutes ago - Debater Slayer:
Directly. - Iron Wizard:
I have said that I sniffed glue. It could have been any glue. Elmers, school glue. I never mentioned solvents. - 1 minute ago - Debater Slayer:
That's enough for me. Have a nice break from chat.

My argument I'm about to send them:
How can I contact the owner of this site? It's quite evident to me that this is based on personal grudges and not the rules. The rules say "illegal content". Asking for advice about how to stop sniffing glue has absolutely nothing to do with anything illegal. For starters, sniffing glue is not illegal in America. However, there are laws that are in place to attempt to prevent inhalant abuse. For example, one cannot sell someone ten tubes of airplane glue without any models to go with. There are no laws that make inhalant abuse illegal. In Nevada, it is illegal for minors to posses inhalants, but that only applies in that state. I do not live in Nevada. My point is that I was not discussing anything illegal.
I explicitly stated that I sniffed glue. I never even mentioned any kind of solvent. It could have been Elmer's Washable School Glue. It could have been dried airplane glue. It could have been liquid solvent glue, but I never said anything about that. That's what has a few regulations placed on it. Even if inhalant abuse was in fact illegal, you still wouldn't have reasonable grounds to ban me, because you wouldn't know if I was abusing the solvents, or just smelling some random glue.
