Your f*cking what?

TheBig3 · 01-05-2006, 02:09 AM

Forum. As in MB. Anywho I guess I never filled this questionaire out.

Best:

1. My Morning Jacket, "Z" - Lots of (unfair) comparisons and carnival noises. They learned how to squeal and shout, but this album seemed less seriously folky, and more confidently rock. The song "what a wonderful man" really made this album fly, the whole thing is good but that song was the song that catapulted it to the level it is. Also, I love "off the record" because any song with the line "ill make it up to you right now at the penny arcade" has to be good

2. The White Stripes, Get Behind me Satan - I was hesitant to put this because its going to look like im doing it to be a prick, but their my favorite new badn right now, and while not their strongest effort, it was still solid. White Boy funk, Mountain Music, 70's Rock, country folk, GBMS has it all, and the lyrics are still right there. More piano for me is always a good thing, but what really struck me about the Cd is how much more swagger jack packed into this album. His voice swoons and dives, dances, and tip toes around the music on the album. The whine is still there, but nowit has companey. When to comes to Jacks voice, to me, the more the merrier.

3. Kings of Leon, "Aha Shake Heartbreak" - A banner year for rock. in some varation, every idiot publication said this about either 04/05. The truth is, if they have to tell you that, it isn't. A lot of bands these days are getting a free pass on the coattails of some other amazing bands, and they can all thank KOL. They don't seem to vary much in their formula on albums (everything I found that breaks stride is a B side, or not on an LP) but they work with what they have. Rasied on the stones with an Ac/Dc work ethic (if it ain't broke don't fix it) if any band keeps its rock dirty its these guys. Just be thankful the Drive-by Truckers didn't release anything this year.

Worst:

1. SOAD, Hyp/Mez: If it weren't for Hyp, they might have made the best of, but the fact is, I was promised an even better album, instead I got one with less dimensions. Mezmerize's versatility was handed in to placate the throngs of 13 year olds who demanded harder rock to look more extreame. They sold out intellectual avant garde for monosylabic everyday. They'll be back on the right track again, but not soon enough for my liking.

2. Fiona Apple, Extrondary machine: Whole lotta...hype for nothing. "Studios were scared to release her album because Fiona is so...fearless" one well-paid advertiser said. Too left of center said Rolling Stone. All lies. If anything kept this thing on the shelf, it was the fact that it out right sucked. Emotive lyrics? Good singing? Fine, thats great but we buy music for the music folks, lets not have the same sedated piano on all tracks except for the one where we got a rap producer to put a hip-hop beat behind a vocal tracking that couldn't match any less. She's have done well to be the new Axl Rose.

3. Arcade Fire, Funeral: So many big named musicians said this was the most mind-blowing labum of the year that I thought I'd give it a shot. I mean, they had a ****ing accordian. You always give a band using the squeeze box a try...except the arcade fire. This wasn't music, it was an aural hemorage. I did end up hearing "Cold Wind" on the Six Feet Under Sountrack and thatw as decent but bland. The rest sounded as if At The Drive-In did all their track with acoustic instruments. Screaming, scrreching, feedback...on acousitcs. It was like garage punk unplugged in the worst way humanly possible.

It was meant as sarcasm.He's being pretty c*cky proclaiming this as his forum.

TheBig3 · 01-05-2006, 06:18 AM

yeah you could take it that way. But its not as if he said it in general like "screw you guys, this is my forum", it was done like the militery but not with "my" as in ownership, but my as in somewhere people belong to, have passion about.

he's a mod, he has some obligation to enforce a modicom of order.

So what did you think of my list cheeseman?

And trust me, half of all these actors and what not you see are professionals whether you like it or not, so they must be damn good to begin with.
Therefore, I do not concur with your statement.

Obviously you won't be an expert at it, but you'll still be able to form an intelligent opinion about them.

And do you really believe half those actors are professionals?

Most of them probably never acted in their lives before their first movie roles (unless you're talking about theatre, but stage actors are a whole different breed).

Kanye West- Late Registration

Thumbs up homeboy. I love this record, and its not because my boy is from the Chi.

Kelly Clarkson- Breakaway

Terrible.

Mastodon- i forgot the title, but the new one.

2. Acoustic and Electric guitar differ in the signals (albiet sound, square, or saw waves) that are produced from the vibration of the strings. Therefore if someone play's good acoustic songs, he/she will play good electric songs and vice versa. You might not like the song, but saying that the difference in ability was because of the soundscape that was used is asinine.

You trying to be like me and say that YOU actually know something about guitar playing is asinine, kiddo!!!

I already said that Electric guitar playing is very different from Acoustic and that an Acoustic guitar player is normally a more accomplished guitar player than an Electric one!!!

I'm not totally sure if you're totally trying to talk with me, but, if you did, I never mentioned "soundscape" once in my previous replys!!!How stupid can you be and why don't you understand that yet?

3. Big3 might not be the prettiest grammer, but at least his post are understandable. You use smiley's like they're going out of style. And you're grammer is atrocious. Do not attempt to "school" someone for spelling or grammatical errors when you have trouble as well.

Once again, I guess I have to "school you", you pestering son of a bit ch!!!I'll just bold a few of your bad forms of grammar...
...Yes, it's called and typed grammar, ya incompetent jackass!!!I don't have any trouble, so don't be a childish, crybaby kid on me, ya hear?

4. People who play guitar naturally have an edge on musical knowledge. Guitar lessons would not improve Big3's grasp of Theory. Theory classes would. You lose.

Oh, so guitarists really do know more, huh?Well guess what, I've been playing experienced lead guitar longer than you've been alive!!!I can tell that you are a young crybaby simply by seeing your "comebacks"/responses, so YOU grow up!!!Once again, I "lose" nothing by your foolishness and stupidity, period!!!

5. Who the **** are you to threaten someone ONLINE with physical violence? You sir, just lost every bit of credibility you had. Which, I assure you, wasn't to great of a loss.
(Just so you know, it's spelled "too", fella!!!)

I didn't say that I was going to beat the hell out of someone online, ya fool!!!I was simply letting them know the reality of life and that they wouldn't be able to muscle up enough courage to say that to someone like me on the "streets."I didn't challenge anyone, I just said that I would be glad to actually kick their pathetic ass if I ever saw them outside.They, as well as YOU, have a lesson to learn about being an intelligent, civilized, disciplined person in society today.I wouldn't mind helping because I actually am kind like that!!!

In conclusion, you have done nothing but make lame comments and attempt to feed your obviously outrageous ego from petty arguements online.
(Damn, your bad spelling never stops!!!I'm gonna have to work real hard here!!!)

now for my on topic contribution (Well, there's nothing good or significant, so why add?)

Best of '05

Between the Buried and Me - Alaska
incorporates bass very well into their arrangments
(Man, I thought I learned that in 2nd grade English class?How old are you, kiddo?)also.

With Passion - In the Midst of Bloodied Soil
-black-spazz
Yet another.Did you mean "spay" here, youngster?- I'd have to agree.

Dark Tranqullity - Character

Damn, you even spelled the band name wrong.How dare you!!!

it's just a huge dissapointment.

Oh, there's another bad spelling.I guess I should include it, right? Thank God

Don't ever try to be smart or talk back to me again!!!You simply aren't intelligent enough, period!!!

Why do you even try?

Neither you or him have anywhere near the intelligence that I have!!!Spelling seems to be the best point lately.

I do think that we should all be nice to each other, as I previously stated!!!

To be honest, I'm being nice to guys like you by helping you learn how to spell and fix your mistakes!!!

I'm helping you right now by bolding even more of the useless words that you use as a "comeback" to my replys, see?

So, to both of you guys I'll say this...
...Get a life, be nice, calm down, listen to (good) music and grow up!!!End of story, period!!!
