Sarcasm or not, you foguht me with franscar, jibber, and alejo's opinion too.

My point is, we don't see you fight 5 or 6 people off at once. its not always a good thing, Kashmir fought tooth and nail on everything, but it doesn't change the fact that we all knew his name.

My point is man, I can't name one band you like, and if you've told us, it was probably the stuff thats a given. Look I didn't come out of the woodwork to bash you, you kind of asked.

note however that i was the one of the first few people to voice my opinion. i posted before both franscar and jibber.

and for the record, bands that i like:

givens:
unearth
atreyu
trivium
underminded
saosin
afi
finch
ones that you might not guess:

the vandals
blues traveler
nickel creek
jack johnson
john mayer(happens to be an amazing blues player) whatever his blues group is called)
eric clapton.

ok. there you go.

this thread can go back to its topic.

Yes digression is a natural thing, trying to stear a debate is a terrible idea. If you force it on topic it dies, if we go where it leads it lives.

If you like Nicklecreek (who I think are good) try the greencards, their similar. Weather and the Water is a nice bluegrass jam but with decent lyrics. Try it out, let mw know how it goes.

its mellissa.. but don't call me it hehe

Ah, well I'm new around here and don't really visit this side of the forum that much... but I'll give it a shot, because like Rousseau said...

"What wisdom can you find that is greater than kindness?"

Crazy Luv - This is my sister from another mister. Gave me a shout out when I barely exist outside of the Song Writing forum. Called her a guy once, didn't know any better. Instant forgiveness. Gotta love it.

jibber- If I would have found this thread before tonight, this shout out wouldn't have happened. I respect jib's opinion a lot, and she also forgave me when I called her a guy.

either/or- Leaving good impressions on me and is a welcoming face on the forums.

TheBig3AteMyChildandI'mtoolazytolookUpthepropernam e- Gonna be a cool dad, and since I was deprived of my cool dad, just shoutin' out to a baby's daddy. Also loves the Stripes, and so do I. Instant shout out factor :D.

creep- ahh, we lay into each other with a mutual respect and it rocks.

APS- Got the wrong impression of him at first and then he turned out to be a pretty upstanding guy.

I can't wait to get to know the rest of you. Seems like a pretty good place. I am also in the perpetual noob state where ever I go for some reason. So there ya are.

Well apparently if you want to "get known" just fight with everyone.

whats with all the unoriginal cynicism? it's and old hat dude, loose it.

i'm not a fan of "ass kissing" either. but trust me, this is much better than some of the older threads.

i like AITA's avatar. and f*ck you if you call that ass kissing

why do you think ethans so popular? and why does everyone know who kashmir was?

or whore up the member picture gallery, or perhaps mention that you're a bisexual wiccan.

or you could be a kinky @$$ B?%ch like me, and talk about your fetishes..., besides, not many people pay attention to "who" you are rather than what you are.

pwned!

Also PTS, you could argue with people who post alot, single-mindedly to get attention. I mean, why contribute when you could just ride coattails.

*le sigh*

STFU about that already, if you have a goddamn problem PM me and don't kill good threads.

Will you stop telling people to STFU , you`re on a public forum where people post opinions , what did you expect?

Yes I know, but, really, why must they take it into the threads? They could PM me about personal ****.

I don't want to ruin one of the FEW positive threads we have here (props on this by the way urban), so i'll keep this brief. If you don't want your personal life talked about on the internet, don't post it on the internet, it's really quite a simple solution. And it was a joke, not intended to be offensive.

lol so much for the positive energy running through this thread.

Alright jibber, alright.

There can not be a positive thread on MB. We are all too...

1. sarcastic
2. cynical
3. argumentitive
4. wanting to get our point proven
5. DRIVEN BY THE MUSIC.

(I amuse myself.)

true. yet if this is a positive a positive thread we should actually be positive. leave the negativity for the other 99% of threads here.

you truly are my hero. and it isn't ass kissing.

LedZepStu is pretty cool in my book. probably has the best avatar ever.

Lets get back on topic here

Hype8- This guy never gets enough credit. He never posts off topic, he is always posting about music. He never tries to start arguments with people.
He is probably one of the best posters here

ok, so back to being positive, i'll probably add to this later on:

urban: made a great thread, and always good for a debate, since he doesnt back down or resort to petty name calling.

riseagainstrocks: says whats on his mind, and I respect that a lot. Always can be counted on to be fair and objective, just an all around great member on the boards.

misfits/alexisonfire/crowquill: cracks me up constantly, and just a fun guy to talk to. Another guy who isnt afraid to say what he's thinking, and knows a sh*tload about music. He's exposed me to some really great bands. plus he puts up with my constant excited babbling about skiing, and patiently waits for me to get it out of my system.

Black-T-Shirt: this girl really knows her stuff, i'm always impressed by how insightful her posts are, especially in the punk forum, and another member who's steered me towards some amazing music. thanks for that

jesus: funny as hell, and like misfits and black-t, knows her stuff. I always look for her posts in the punk forum, especially if she starts a thread, I know it's gonna be a gooder.

thebig3killedmyraindog: he's just got such a sweet name. On top of that, he's another member who truly adds to the content of this board, his posts always contribute something different to the conversations, in other words, he adds spice.

vanilla: really friendly, cheerful, and just a nice person in general.

adidasss: can always be counted on to speak his mind, and not back down in a debate, which is great quality to have in any situation. Plus he's often online when i'm in an insomniac period to give me some good entertainment.

crowe: first off, amazing lyricist, the song writing forum has definitely taken a turn for the better since he joined. Gives me some great critiques and tells people straight up if he doesnt like something.

creepinson: another guy who's upped the quality in the song writing forum. I really value this guy's opinion because it's obvious by his songs that he knows what he's talking about.

and last, all of the mods: You guys do so much work for this site it's rediculous, and it's all behind the scenes, which makes it all the more comendable. As many posts as there are about these forums going downhill and sucking, we all still come here, because despite it all, it's a great place to dicuss music, and you guys have kept it that way. props.

I really don't think the fact i argue a bunch if why im well liked...I mean i talk to the majority of people on here and post alot too.

rob the vile - Knows a CRAPLOAD about metal and has gotten me into some kick ass groups.

Cha... you're like my favorite person on here... I mean you should so be made a mod! I mean the way you like get so much practice moderating topics already would really make you good for the job.

Who is Cha?

Alright point taken Big3.
I disagree with two points though.
Don't flame me, I mentioned you.
And, Bloodlined Calligraphy is not non-descript.

Happy Posting Gentleman.

Are you kidding? It's like yeah... cha? Crazy annnoying valley girl word when used incorrectly but when used prorperly... totally Wayne's World!

i'm pretty sure it means any of these things

-duh!
-yea you
-right on dude
-totally yea man

cha!

That wasn't flamming, that was me stating what's true. And maybe that CD is amazing, but it looks like a red and white square with indecipherable writing.

Your call from here cheif.

i just wanted to commend moses and bill, i like these guys for two reasons, because i thought it was really adorable how they shat their pans when fenix was messing with them, and second , more importaint reason, of all the new people who post a lot, i've only noticed these two actively searching out new music, it seems they have figured out the advantages of belonging to a music forum, and i simply love that, when people actually check out threads about bands they never heard and give them a go.....
plus, one of you, can't remember which one, is a doors fan, and i can't help but like people who like the doors, especially because when i was your age, that was the only band i listened to ( and on regular tapes mind you, before i even owned a cd player and before i got into the internet and started to download music )

:laughing: i was just about to do that, damn you!....but i still got crazy luv for you.

My call is don't make your opinions the truth.
And I'll change my avatar if bitches be liking that better, naamean?

I get the impression people fight me jsut to fight me. Listen jackass, I didn't say my opinoins were fact, I said they were truth. Like honest, as if to say I wasn't speaking on hidden motives.

like this one any better big3?

can you feel the love? :love:

I see your point man, but am I wrong? I'd honestly like to know, because there are a few people here who seem to gun for me. Snickers not one of them, but honestly, he took that the one way it could seem arrogant...wtf?

i think the reason that some people may "gun for you" is because you are somewhat abrasive with your comments at times. definitely not that its a bad thing, its good that you feel the need to get your two cents in, to make your opinions heard. people just like to pick on people like that. if ive made it seem like i was "gunning" for you, i didnt mean to. im the same way sometimes, and it gets me into many arguments.

arguments is such a negative word, I prefer debates :D

sure, debates works, but sometimes they are arguments. not debates but pure sh*tslinging arguemnts.

Damn, it's been a while since I was in a good, old-fashioned ****-slinger. :laughing:
