How much would you wager exactly? I could use some cash.

LOL. I'm going to run out and buy a harmonica. Then I'm going to download a drum loop and record myself "playing the harmonica" (which I can't) over it. I might even add some accent drones to spice things up as well as a random splash cymbal hit.

I'm going to call it "Free Reed Experimental Jazz Swamp".
Have fun with that I guess. *shrug* This tells me that you've heard a very very small portion of my music.

Frowny, put out something like this and then we can talk.


I mean, no because it's not my goal as an artist to appeal to your whims, but here are some nicer tracks than the archetype of my music that you have in your head whenever you rag on it. I'm guessing you define my music by the heavier WISSK material that pissed you off so much in plug.

I do find it an odd phenomenon that many many threads that have really nothing to do with it end up being the latest battleground for the Chula V Frownland rivalry. Oh well...

I do too, but I've learned to live with it/ignore it/be amused by it

Some I have, yes, but in fairness you can't make that claim (your wager): for all you know, he spends hours, days or weeks crafting his "masterpieces". I think that's a little unfair (Who are you, and what have you done with Trollheart??) :yikes:

That's what you get when you have a bitter old man posting nonsense and a grumpy hipster willing to take him up on that nonsense.

The bitter old man is you.

Whoa chill I'm getting off of your lawn! I just approached to answer your question.

Hey! I won't have that! I'm not bit ... oh. Carry on.
:shycouch:

Edit: Um, can I ask who are the three people voting that DT is a genius but don't seem prepared to come in here and back up that claim? Come on: you know who you are. I, however, do not.

Townsend is trying to make a living off of his music (and his persona helps sell it), so he'll sell anything he can and probably has some influential people advising him to do so. *shrug* So goes the way of the capitalistic world of the music industry.

Have you been keeping count of Bucketheads Pikes? Yoiks. He's up to 301.

These people need to sell their material in order to maintain their lifestyles regardless of what you think of their personalities, although some artists like to have an all inclusive persona that entices the consumer. It's nothing new.

As for the Chula/Frown bit... different strokes for different folks and all, but I'd like to hear Frown record something with a 4/4 beat. Something bluesy.

4/4
Bluesy and kinda 4/4

I forgot about Buckethead. What's a pike though, other than a fish or an ancient weapon? Mind you, to date anything I've heard from BH has been pretty damn good, whereas I can't say the same for DT. But anyone pretentious enough to release an album called Stuff That Was Stuff Before It Was Stuff (or something) deserves at least my scorn.
