Everything Else (Music related) • Re: I bought too many soft synths

I assume English isn't your native language, which I realise puts you at a disadvantage, so I'll excuse your inability to comprehend my post. I was telling you how easily those things could be done. That someone chose to do them a more difficult/complicated/stupid way is really just making my point for me. That you choose to use those particular examples tends to tell me that you are getting your advice from the wrong places and/or looking at the whole thing from the wrong perspective.

Heavy Metal is as silly as hard Industrial EBM, Gangster Rap and Punk.

Abso-fuckin'-lutely!

Basically any music focused only on anger tends to be a bit rigid, which is silly.

I don't think that's the defining feature at all. It's not the music that's silly, so much as the inevitable subculture around it, over which the artists have little or no control. It's the artists who embrace the subculture as much as the music who I find truly hilarious. My one concession to that, I suppose, is that I'll wear a mohawk on stage sometimes but otherwise we don't really make any concessions to the sub-culture. Even the mohawk is more a nod to Punk for me, not Goth or Rivethead culture (same thing over here).

I of course like all of them, the only music I don't really like is modern country, the beer commercial kind. [I'm super picky with Indie Rock as well, most of it sucks.]

I think it pretty much all sucks. Hard. Post Punk has had somewhat of a resurgence in recent years but even a lot of that is pants. Like Punk itself, the American flavour is so much more dire than the European/English stuff. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that my tastes are drawn along geographical lines as much as genres. I have very little music from US artists. There is something in the music that I don't like at all and it permeates pretty much every genre. There are exceptions, like Devo and Wall of Voodoo, but they are really taking the piss out of all that Americanness and that works for me. But the rest of it? No.

I'm calling your bluff, you would have to lived in a cave to not have heard Enter Sandman more times that you ever wanted to.

Yeah, but that's also on the Die Krupps EP, which covers it. Of course, I've also heard them do The Wait, but that doesn't really count. In fact, when I was looking around for some Killing Joke MIDI files, the only place I could find The Wait was on a Metallica fan site.

Someone who insults everyone, insulted me so i told them to do one. No disrespect to the forum or to yourself or anyone else

Yeah and I had a bit of a giggle and moved on. Why you guys have to take it all so personally, like anyone here actually has the first f**king clue who you are, is beyond my comprehension. If it was down the pub on a Friday night, we'd just tell each other to f**k off and be done with it.

However, “sack of shit” is understandable when you won’t shit on your boat so you’re not surrounded by brown floaties.

I have a very strict policy of only shitting on company time. I'll be buggered if I am going to waste a second of my own time sitting on the khazi. It's a bit more difficult now that I am not working full time but it's a simple matter of discipline. And, no, I don't often work from home.

Bosh, yer just sayin that to qualify for an Australian visa to visit Bones in Brissy.

He'd be about 1000km off the mark. Brisbane was my last posting in the Army, I haven't lived there since 1987. He could visit my sister, though.
