Everything I know about you comes from plugging or a few one off recommendations, which IMO is not adequate enough for me to be criticizing your taste in music.

Are you bitching because people have lives? Or are you bitching because no one is sharing what they are listening to with you? I mean if you need rec's just use your big boy words and ask someone. ****. Invite a sista to pulg motha****a and quit your whining. See the thing is that most of the people here that have been here a long long time have other ways of getting in touch with one another, and run like that. Aint nothing wrong with it either. I just don't like to see people bitch when the places for exsample: where I would post, and talk about music with weren't clogged up with 1/2 time posters.

All I can think of is this, ~1:10:

I'd plug a lot more, socialize with you peeps but...video games, and other stuff.

Last time I plugged, Roxy laughed at my song selections, Roxy only liked ONE DAMN SONG I PLAYED!

Because I feel like the music you listen to is overwhelmingly mundane. I feel like you haven't talked to some people on here that can point you in the direction of a genre that you'll like as well as the music being good. Mojo is one person you should cozy up to if he ever ****in comes back home to this forum. He can point you in the direction of **** that will be genre's that make you (yes you) cream your unmentionables, as well as have the songs be musically sound, and lyrically good (when audible

).

Hooboy, drunk postings a bitch man. Since I've already been pulled into this, here we go.

I haven't read through much that's been posted save for my drunken ramblings from last night, and I'm only posting this because I've already plastered my diluted thoughts all over this thread, and just want to clarify, or rather do this the 'correct' way with a clearer head. This is in no way a retaliation against you Batlord at all, these are just my true thoughts about your "Taste" in music (since you're the one that pulled me into this) that I would otherwise just internalize. I don't feel the need to judge other peoples thought processes, or judge what they're most passionate about, because that's what makes them who they are.

Batlord: Very myopic and juvenile, and a lack of any real understanding of what you're actually listening to. Like a bully on a playground, you mock and ridicule anyone who thinks differently than you, and it really shows your low self esteem. Sure, metal and all it's offshoot genres can be entertaining and pleasing to the ear at times, but I feel you try a bit too hard to come across as someone who is "Hardcore" and you miss out on the real beauty of the music you refuse to except, which probably stems from having a fear of intimacy, and I'm about as impressed with the vastness of your musical catalog as I am with someone who has 20 guitars but can't play any of them. You're young, and indeed still have something to prove, so I can understand this, and it really showed some progress to me that you excepted Rush wholeheartedly. I got an even bigger kick out of you freaking out about Praxis, since that's a genre you wouldn't normally seek out. You're musical taste is really right on par with someone your age. Not beyond, not below, but right there at the fulcrum point with which one starts to grow into who they will become for the rest of their life.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot:

I do wonder about the actual intent of this thread and the spirit in which it was created. Most people, having impressed someone with a track, go on to share more with them, but Batty, after seeing I was into that Guitar Orchestra thing, then deliberately picked out one I wouldn't like (he was right) and I have to ask, why? Did it piss you off that I liked the song you didn't think I would so you had to spoil it by picking out a bad one? What did that prove? That you really didn't want me to like it in the first place, maybe so you could poke fun and tell me how I refuse to broaden my musical taste? Don't get it.

Or this thread, as I said. Let me listen to what I want to, not what you, or anyone else, thinks I should.

Enjoy your thread.

I agree with this. Batlord thinks Bush is just terrible (and a lot of other's here do as well, all of which seem to be unwilling to lay to bed their opinion that Bush rides trends or follows what will keep them current, that they rip off Nirvana and many others....) that Tool is this generic band (hardly are, they've had a bigger impact on the Metal/Prog world that Batlord obviously doesn't know of or just willingly denies exists...) and there are hundreds of bands that try to copy them, so really, those offshoot bands are the generic (thousands sounded too steep in my mind, but I digress...)

But, the other hand, I like the idea behind the thread, to know what some of my musical peers here think of what little I have shared that I like here (which I would actually say wasn't hardly enough for Batlord to judge me on, but I was genuinely curious of his opinion of me all the same...I mean, Wolfmother is hardly a band I'd say is overly impressive, just good and nothing more, I do enjoy them though...)

I've shared such a small amount of the music I am in to, that anyone here would probably assume what Batlord has of me. I'm barely even getting started sharing my music catalog.

Everything that Batlord said of me, I found amusing. But he isn't really wrong that some of those bands are pretty generic. But whether he is basing that on all the other bands that sound like the ones he mentioned, I don't know. I'd say that all the bands that rip off the ones he mentioned, are the generic groups. But that's just my opinion on that.

Disclaimer: I'm drunk and getting more drunker, so if I'm slightly incoherent please feel free to give me a, "Dude, what the **** are you talking about?" Not an excuse for douchiness, just confusion.

I was taking the piss with the fogie comment, and honestly thought you'd take it in stride, but if you just don't want me to call you one that's fine. I wasn't even criticizing your taste, just saying that I'd like it if you could rap with some people about music you don't seem to be familiar with yet. You introduced me to (liking) Rush, which I'm truly grateful for, but I'd like to return the favor. It's just hard to know what to talk to you about since you mostly post about bands that you seem to dig already without giving much info about what you might like to explore.

Definitely still in the learning stage of my musical education, but a lot of my arrogant postings about mocking this or that is generally tongue in cheek. Yes, I haven't been that big on prog, but most of my invective about it is just to get under TH's skin, which is just supposed to be friendly jabs. You will notice however that I often admit to not being an expert on anything. I like to think I have a good handle on thrash, but even things like death and black metal I'm not that much of an expert on. I've had limited money and limited internet access, that's hampered my ability to listen to everything I'd like to, even in metal. My arrogance on the subject is just a persona for yucks. My Batcave journal is just a caricature, not a declaration of supremacy.

I legitimately appreciate Plankton's post right here, because it clears the air about what someone thinks of my taste, rather than people just saying that I'm some kind of metal expert, which a bunch of people seem take seriously. More people should understand that I'm intentionally full of ****. Unless otherwise stated, just assume I'm being goofy, no matter how insulting.

And I really don't want to have some silly feud with you. You're one of my fav people on here. I know that even the best of friends are going to have negative opinions of one another, but that doesn't mean they can't voice them without having a falling out.

Sorry, but I don't think anybody who isn't a metalhead has much bad to say about your music taste.

I like this idea. Maybe once every day of the weekend. All day for those who want to, with an emphasis on certain times for those who only want to do it for a certain amount of time while still having a community experience. I keep meaning to plug more, but I keep forgetting to.

No. You listed the Offspring and Disturbed. I dig some Offspring and Disturbed. But to mention them in a short list of your fav bands requires mockery. Deal with it.

This really was my intent for the thread. There's so much "You have such great taste, I want to jerk you off just so your taste will squirt all over me", that I think more honest opinions just aren't expressed, and I like the idea of a more open environment for opinions. The whole point of a music forum is for discussion, not JUST camaraderie. A little trolly fun is just a bonus.

I was having a really bad day. I've had quite a load of pressure on me lately, and I thought getting drunk would help, which it didn't. Seeing what you posted just enraged me, and I was in no mental condition to respond with a level head. I should've just went to bed. It's all water under the bridge though my friend.
