The Whining and Bitching Thread

[Vossyrus]

I would probably put Satyricon in my top 5 favourite black metal bands of all-time. To an extent I think they are underrated despite being well-liked but at the very least, deserving of more credit than they're usually given.

I think Satyricon's first five albums are excellent. The last two are o-k.

Volcano was stripped down but had a nice mood/atmosphere, and what makes the album in my opinion is all of the little things. The last two albums were just really stripped down and rock-ish which doesn't capture my attention much. Maybe those songs are better live?

I'm not sure I have a favourite but I think the criminally underrated Rebel Extravaganza features the band at their very best. There's more substance on this album than any other and probably more on the first track alone than either of their last couple albums. I don't understand why so many people had a problem with this one.

And of course, Satyricon's earlier albums are classic and some of the best the genre has to offer. "The Dawn of a New Age" might be my favourite Satyricon song but I'm not sure.

I whole heartedly agree on Rebel Extravaganza.I used to love cranking that album after blasting myself with chemicals,a few years ago.It certainly is underrated.Try listening to 'Supersonic Journey' or the fucking godly 'The Scorn Torrent' when high as a kite on chemicals...fucking awesome!

Now I know why I shouldn't have family on facebook... my father is at my aunt's shovelling snow right now. I just got a message from my aunt where I got accused of "smashing the windows out of your father's truck last night". No, it wasn't me you wench. We live in fucking Jasper, it was probably one of the little shits who live in the trailer park nearby.

I don't know whether or not to be more disgruntled with my father for telling my aunt unfounded, half-baked blame stories, or my aunt for being an insufferable old hag.

All of my hate.

 

[JontRevolting]

HAHA I proclaim hatred for 'the book' also...just goes to show the hate that 'the book' produces can come from many quarters.

 

[The Butt]

I don't hate Facebook, just the concept of having the uptight, bitchy members of my family on it.

Also, lol, just got banned on black-sabbath.com now too, because the admin is an utter tool.

 

[JontRevolting]

I've noticed a few good folk gettin' banned from 'this forum and that'...perhaps a competition is in order?

The thing I've noticed about it is that it's always the mod's fault

Is that a hobby of yours? Getting banned?

I lol'ed.

I was called stupid today for saying it's not irrational to believe that a human's thoughts, personality, etc. are a completely physical phenomenon occurring in one's brain. I also said it's irrational to believe that one's memories and personality could stay intact when their brain stops functioning and rots away. I said "it's like saying a computer can work if you take everything out of it."

I sound like the typical ranting atheist, but seriously, god is a product of imagination. That doesn't mean it isn't real. It just means that it is not a phenomenon that can be verified by reason. Like all beliefs that are believed through socialization, personal desire, and evasion of rationality, the person believing it is going to believe that it is more special and more plausible than any of the same type. It's a proven psychological phenomenon. A person raised to believe in Zeus is going to think Zeus is as plausible as a person raised to believe in god thinks god is.

The problem I have is the infinite room for disagreement within imaginary concepts. Unlike other imaginary things like stories, gods have had civilizations and governments built around them. They have also been the driving force of division and massacre.

The cruelty of the Aztec empire largely stemmed from their belief that their gods lived on human blood. During the late era before they Spanish arrived they were going on a conquering binge. They were upping the amounts of sacrifice and the amounts of people they killed as they began to conquer more areas. They wanted Huitzilopochtli to bring them success in war. It was a cycle fueled from a simple imaginary belief that caused millions to die.

I should find friends interested in intelligent discussion that are not anarchist potheads.

Normally I would agree with you, that it seems sketch, but I just find it pretty sad that telling someone they're being bigoted is enough to warrant a ban.

I think Nick was throwing a jab at me, just to be a goof. I'm the mod. Unfortunately I haven't been here a lot. unknown is a mod too.

 

[unknown]

*thumbs up*

I know you're the mod. I guess I just didn't detect the humor.

Fuck sakes, I've been here for about two years and still don't get your humor. Fuck me running.

 

[mutantllama]

You know, I don't even think of you guys as mods.

You guys do the job as it should be done. You close shitty threads and leave people alone.

 

[The Butt]

Yeah. V5 and unknown I've always regarded as "part of the gang" moreso than "mods".
