Welcome to Gaia! ::

why do i see this turning into another AIC vs Nirvana debate sad


anyway image has always been part of music.......if the beatles hadn't been sex symbols...they'd have had about as many hits as bob dylan (who is a far better song writer) and how many #1s did he have? 0

Like with my favourite Greenday song, I mention 'Dominated Love Slave' and everyone looks at me blankly and goes 'My favourite is when spetember ends/Blvd. of broken dreams/jesus of suburbia.' at which point just want to head butt them until there facial imprint is left on the concrete steps of some cathedral.

I don't know, it strikes me as something that would happen at Ozz fest, top the bill 'Alice in Chains original line up.' I'm pretty sure Sharon (that hell whore, who is responisble for the fame of bands like Linkin Park) will arange it, along with Social Distortions original line up (I still can't believe his death was deemed as suicide, it was death by mis-adventure).

Urgh, I know what you mean, at least you don't wake up in the night, screaming in fear, covered in a ice cold sweat. Because of some risidual memory of when you're sisters rebelled and listened to Backstreet Boys, Boyzone, 5ive and 911. *shudders* The memories still give me the creeps.

The indie record labels sweetie *pats patronisingly on head* there there, we'll find your brain one day rofl

Right with you there. I get people coming up to me incollege expecting me to love all these bands like Green Day (post American idiot rolleyes ), MCR and suchlike, and then get onfused when I say "i only liked the punky songs, and frankly hated Americna Idiot" .... and get called a poseur. stare On with the Death Metal and watch them twitch! xd I would say I'm evil...but I'm doing it as a service to thecommunity twisted

You're probably right... along with a booth to see Layne next to the autographs rolleyes . Its how he was found that makes me feel bad, apparently he'd started to decompose before he'd died eek And that kids, is what heroin will do to you.

*laughs* I had a minor phase of that, but it was curbed pretty quickly with the Deep Purple and Led Zep of my dad's collection xd

You've not seen the reaction I have when someone suggests I might possibly like MCR of FFTL or FFAF or some such band with silly acronyms, its like the shinning all over again... 'HHHHHEEERRREES JOHNY!'

And hence why I don't do drugs, except alcohol... and caffine... and chocolate... and in my crazy youthful days, I smoked the odd joint (as in literally one or two, I could never be a total waster).

I'm sure its a girl thing, I was brought up on metal, stayed on with metal, went through a J-Pop phase, got over the 'OMG ITS JAPANESE IT MUST BE COOL!' thing at 13 and started listening to bands I like, ignoring the silly letters in front, after all we don't call Europe E-Rock so why should we call Japanese bands j-rock.

Lol, I do the same, I keep getting this real crappy band trying to add me, I did them the honour of humouring them and listened to the music.....and subsequently stopped rather soon and declined their offer. They then resent the frickin request rolleyes can't take a hint.

*laughs* it amuses me that people keep reposting them, it implies they believe it.....ah, how I'm glad I ain't gullable.

they're not one of the "big four" *Sony etc* so they're called as an idie. Try to explain this to some kids and they stare daggers at you rolleyes


*laughs* I like my college, I get to host a radio program where I play music I like (unfortunately I'm banned from playing the metal *sigh* I amuse myself by dropping in a few classicals; playing O fortuna from Carmina Burana to teenage chavs, absolutely hilarious) but it gets introduced by my co-host as "and now for MCR, Panic! at the Disco and Fall Out Boy *pause* and other bands you won't be hearing" xd I love that guy.

I was too busy drugged up on meds to be able to cope with anything extra-curiccular, but I'm going to have to break out the ol' explanation of how Layne died to one of the kids I know, he's going down a bad road, but then there's not much you can do with some people, damned contrary people *is one herself*.

I listen to a band, I like a band, I listen more. Nice easy philosophy, nice and simple, just the thing this poor cranial-impaired metal-head can deal with xd

I was tempted to tell them that the reason I didn't add them was becasue they were crap and needed to learn good studio production. Their songs sounded as if they're been recorded in an old tool shed with equipment that was 15 years old.

*laughs* I just rant on my blog when I'm bored like a normal crazy person! xd (I have a lot to rant about and like to speard it around xd )


I don't mind it too much because its a rock show, so we get to play oldies like Lynard and all that, the teachers like it becasue its all the music they used to like (I swear that's the only reason we were allowed to do it, so the teahcers get music they can recognise rofl ).

Yuss, which is what has been done.

Me too, but I like short, sweet answers when they come to mind biggrin

Yeah, but that would have needed effort to type...and I didn't want to waste it, there's a limnited reserve of effort that I possess.

I have varying degrees of attentiveness to blogs, though my final English coursework is a blog entry, yay for the Government trying to relate to the young xd

Led Zep, Queen, Misfits, Deep Purple, Lynard are on the play list, we're educating the young on good music XD though, when chavs put a request in for chav music we just have to break out the metal for them twisted I remember a Dimmu song for one of them...the one were the singer sounds like a really angry little knome squealing in Norwegian. T'was amusing xd

I like to ramble to, its great fun to see the looks of glazed confusion on people biggrin
