Man, me and my bro's played a metal show at our school yesterday which went pretty well, we played LOG - black label, 11th hour killswitch - a bid farewell shadows fall - thoughts with out words pantera - revolution is my name slayer - angle of death It was awsome but anyway, so there was this other *Band* there, which consisted of 1 girl and 1 guy. They played a song by a band called bright eyes and a ween song. And I got so sick to my stomach cuz the guy and girl are the most egotistical emo "I'm such an individual, i'm the superior being, I whine about everything, am skinny as a FUCKING TOOTHPICK, and smoke cigarettes to let ALLLLL the stress of my daily life." These two people were the epithomy of emo kids. God I got so pissed, why can't these people see that this music is fucking retarded and all they do is bitch and complain, when they in reality don't have anything to complain about. They're all semi attractive and are making money off playing horrible music. I hate that type of person more than anyone on the planet. more than jocks and more than anyone else I can think of. Atleast we tore the fucking house down when we played.
Chill out man, they didn't even do anything to you. Anyone who's into any scene shouldn't complain about originality. I'm sure many people have similar feelings about your music.
emo kids do annoy me at times. especially when they're doing it just to be emo. i made emotional music before it was the in thing. just because it's the in thing doesn't mean it's bad, but it does mess with the scene since there are a lot of people jumping on the bandwagon just because of its popularity. whatever. glad you guys played a good show. I played a show on friday. loads of originals.... the crowd was so dead. they were just there to see the screamo bands. they didn't mosh for us. damn people.
I agree, people who "dress" their music are annoying to me. I mean i dont care if you like lets say, manson, but i dont see how wearing white make up and all black clothes and looking like you have never seen the sun is cool or even comfortable. Different strokes for different folks i guess. I also hate people who jump on the bandwagon or like something that is becoming popular. Emo makes me depressed, and i dont like being depressed, so i dont listen to it. I dont hate people who listen to it, i dont hate their scene, it just isnt my style.
I like a lot of emo. So shoot me, I just like the sound of the music and the fact that the lyrics are more poetic than average. I must say though, I'm hardly an emo kid, and the hardcore emo kids annoy me.
music. personality. there letters s and i are common, but otherwise these are two TOTALLY seperate ideas. people who "dress their music" as you say, are retarded. Which is why i dislike most goths. Not all. some actually do a good job and look pretty cool. But when you decide to go to a "goth" clothing store, and buy "goth" clothes, then you suck! You cant buy style. If you can walk into the gap naked, and come out dressed goth, youre legit. Now to the original post, good shit bud! Sounds like a rad lineup. keep rocking. too bad you were followed by emo.. you should played after them and figuratively "sucked there intestines out their asses with a pool jet." heheh.
For some reason, Tool fans bug the crap out of me. Tool is good but they make them out to be Gods and when anyone tells them otherwise, they get all defensive. Two words, Pink Floyd
Right on man! Thats cool that you had a good show. I've played shows before and i know they rock! So rock on man! I don't like people that dress music too.. its gay. Like if you like punk thats cool.. but you don't have to dress punk. Like fuck! I like rap/rnb/hiphop... but that doesn't mean that im going to dress "ghetto". I also like punk/rock/emo but i don't dress that way. Today i was talking to some dude today and he called me emo... I do like the music but that doesn't make me emo! And then he commented on how i should be listenin to rap cause im part black. Fuck that makes me mad. I like metal too! but i think you get the picture now. Music fucking rocks!
I don't see the problem with people who dress like their scene. I mean I guess if some punk had like 6 inch spikes and was stabbing people I could see the point of being irritated with it. The only thing I dislike about it is the scenesters. People should dress a certain because they like that style, not because its what everyone else in their scene does. And if some have no social skills so it helps to be able to easily spot someone with the same interests as them, the more power to them.
Your totally right man.. the only thing is that most people who dress/act a certain style are.. how do i put it.. fake?? I'm not saying all people are... if being yourself is being punk/goth/gangsta/country(lol)/skater then thats cool! But if you can, try to have your own style.. and be yourself.
if a tool fan gives you shit, shove a king crimson album in their face and make them wonder how original they are.. personally, i hate punk kids.. not the old punk, original punks from london in the 70s, but the punk kids today.. oh ya, robert fripp is amazing.. everyone go smoke a joint for him..
natural mystic, you just tell them ignoramus' that music has no racial boundaries.. i'm half mexican but i don't dress like a mariachi and dance mambos/sambas/cumbias/etc's.. the only thing mexican i listen to is brujeria and cypress hill (if you can count that as being mexican)..
"Your wearing a george clinton shirt...to the george clinton concert?" "Don't be that guy man..don't be the guy that wears the bands shirt to the concert" - PCU hahahaha
im not much for tool myself. LOL grim, great line. I see "those people" at every concert i go to and my g/f and i laugh and are like "looks, its that guy who wore the bands shirt to their concert" lol.
i love bob Marley music but hate thoes kids who wear a Marley T-shirt becasue Bob Marley is a sorta symbol for marijuana but the kids don't even know what his band is called. I asked a few kids and they all said, "Bob Marley is a band", he's the lead singer, the band is called the Wailers. I'd never buy a Marley or Hendrix T-shirt just for the reason that i wouldn't wanna look like one of thoes fans who knows the top 3 hits which are 10X worse than the real songs they made from their hearts. Everyone knows me as knowing a shitload about old bands and that i have a great appreciation for the music. By the way Steve Miller and Brian Johnson of AC/DC was born today.
People that play shows consisting of all metal covers piss me off. Its not like its hard to write a fucking metal song, nor is it hard to perform one.
i'd love to see you play angel of death note by note.. lamb of god kicks ass too man, i got thrown off by the acronym.. LOG..
