Music preference:

Metal...but I'm always open to all genres and I am not closed to one specific type of music.



How long have you been a member?

Less Than A Year


What made you join a music forum?

Mainly because I wanted to obtain new music and musical knowledge.


How come you choose MB as your music community over other music communities?

It is the most active and seems like the best music forum on the Internet.


How does Music make you feel and what it means to you?

Music...it's hard to explain but the easiest way to put it, is that music is always there or you. If you are depressed, excited, sad, angry, or happy, you can listen to music and you can really connect to it. It makes life less boring. To me, it simply fills empty holes that I have in my life, if I'm ever alone, which is pretty often, I listen to music and I feel like something or someone is with me, and I can take it wherever I go. Sounds lame, but Music completes my life.


Tell me what makes the MB online forum work for you and keep you coming back for more?

Hmmm...I haven't really made an attempt to get to know the folks here at MB, but they are all great people. I am not much of a poster, but the main reason I'm here is to get new music. I'm still young, but I want to hear what I can while I'm still here. MB Members all have a unique taste in music, whether it is mainstream or obscure, you will find a new band that you may or may not like, but that's part of the experience, trying new things. This is what keeps me coming back to MB, I am not much of a contributor, more like a leecher, but with an account.


Describe an interesting experience you had on the forum?

Can't recall to many, but I do owe it to jackhammer for recommending an artist that has slowly become one of my favorite artists, 10ft Ganja Plant. It may not seem like he did much, but to me, it's a pretty big deal, can't thank him enough. It's little things like this that makes forums so special.



What have you learned or what will you take away from your experiences here?

I came with a playlist of about 400 songs when I joined and it's quadrupled in size since. What I have learned is to not ashamed and simply not care what people think about what you listen to. I have also learned to not bash other peoples tastes, simply because I am not a fan of what they listen to. I used to be one of the "mainstream" sucks type of people, but I have learned to not generalize, and actually listen to it before bashing it. If I still don't like something, I'll simply stay away from it, with some exceptions where I feel there is a need for bashing. But the most important thing I learned here, is to give new things a try, even if you think you are not going to like something, try it, and give it a second listen, because those second listens can be the ones that leaves you obsessed with an artist. MGMT being one of my examples.



Let me know of any other points that you feel might interest me negative/positive about your experiences regarding being involved in a Music forum and its Members, now's your chance?

The virtual world can change your mind, there's just something about a variety of people, varying in age, ethnicity, cultures, and tastes, that can change your opinion about any topic being discussed, hate it or love it, the Internet is a beautiful thing.
