It's the same with me, you know. It depresses them that I can never realise some of that things, like computergame ideas.

There are guitars, a bass, and a drum set in the backround, too.

Thats pretty funny!

Wise Abe 12-12-2001 11:34 PM

Why, lol?

oddite4456 12-12-2001 11:52 PM

I don't really see why it's funny, either. My haploid mind needs an explanation!

Wise Abe 12-13-2001 12:10 AM

I guess he thought he was being sarcastic when he said that .

Danny 12-13-2001 04:19 PM

The thing about Slipknot is that, although there are 9 of them, it sounds like three guys in a shed, throwing a guitar at some drums while screaming...

Well said Rettick :D. As anyone seen them without their stupid looking masks on them?

SeaRex 12-13-2001 06:51 PM

Thats what I was going for, Rettick! :D
Im not raggn' on Slipknot or anything, I just prefer other bands.

I find the masks rather fetching!
Seriously. I wasnt joking. I have issues.

Which ones? For me, I like more pop rock then punk rock. Like Blink 182, Sum 41, etc. Then I also like the rap/rock groups, like Limp Bizkit and Linkin Park :D.

Danny 12-13-2001 07:13 PM

*decides to cancel his planned Alliance with Wise Abe over the Nu-Metal issue...* Just kidding. Seriously, though, I think my description of Slipknot applies to pretty much all Nu-Metal bands...

At least you know that Blink-182 is pop-rock. If you called them punk I'd have to call ya' a poser and then give you a royal salmon floggn' Joking... or am I? :eek:
Sum 41 is still punk to me. Until they stop by and visit Carson, that is. I mean, Rancid made videos for MTV, and they are super-punk. Besides, Sum 41 still has a bunch of good ol' fashioned yelln' songs on All Killer, No Filler.
I'll add something to the topic for anti-spam value: I have the talent to still enjoy The Ramones, then go and listen to Gorillaz, and still keep my odd punk pride!

Wise Abe 12-13-2001 07:20 PM

Damn, I forgot the name of the bands, but I like the songs "Nothing gold can stay" and "She's just the flavor of the week." I have a mental block right now, so I forgot the bands, but these songs are cool, too.

EDIT: Woo-hoo, a third star and a new title! I feel so cool, lol :cool:.

I dont think that is true. Im not a HUGE fan of metal or anything, but System of a Down, I think, is an exception. They aren't too bad as far as over-excessive screaming. They have talent. Screeching guitars give way to mandolines and Armenian-stylized melodies before jumping back in to addictive rythms. And Im not just talking about Chop Suey! It seems they dont care about going the way of nu-metal. They want to be good musicians. If you have a service that you can download music off of, I suggest you download ATWA and Toxicity. Of course, Rettick, SOAD is the ONLY exception I've found to the Nu-Metal norm.

Danny 12-13-2001 07:39 PM

You've misinterpreted me. Metal is very good, generally speaking. I like Queens of the Stone Age, Incubus, and also Nine Inch Nails, Marilyn Manson [a bit], etc. It's Nu-Metal that I despise... They just have no real talent. All of the songs by Linkin Park, Papa Roach, Limp Bizkit, Slipknot, etc all sound the same...

SeaRex 12-13-2001 07:45 PM

Oh, I didn't mean to say that you disliked metal, Rettick. (Did I?) I was only talking about Nu-Metal. *BLECH* Limp Bizkit is practically Eminem now. The only reason I bought their last CD was becuase of Wes Borland. He's a mean, mean guitar playin' machine!

Tell ya what, why don't I start a new topic where we can have a huge row without disturbing anyone else, and this topic can concentrate on its subject...?

SeaRex 12-13-2001 07:50 PM

Nah, this topic would be dead if we hadn't been mindlessly spamming about music anyway.

Danny 12-13-2001 07:54 PM

True. Anyway, alienating half the forums is best done in out-of-the-way places anyway...

guys in orange jump-suits right? Oh man at Ozzfest '99 in Arizona I saw those guys on stage and it looked like there were friggin' 21 members of the band on stage with like 3 sets of drums, 7 guitars, and a lot of orange...

Alector 12-16-2001 04:39 PM
