"The Queen of Controversy"

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

her post insinuates that she likes him. That is an opinion.

EDIT: Holy shit i was slow on the draw.

[bobert]

Stick with ankle biter.

[guedita]

With that post count? GIVE ME A BREAK!

"The Queen of Controversy"

that one had to hurt.

[guedita]

I mean if it was a substantive diss rather than incoherent babbling, it might have stung a little.

[TomAz]

Your avatar makes me feel perspicacious.

[guedita]

Yours makes me itchy. The bad kind of itchy.

[TomAz]

BOOM!

Tom, I also did not care for the Raconteurs, but I love the White Stripes so much that I'm willing to forgive Mr. White. Back to defending him, he seems like he wants to surprise his fans and shake things up a bit, as evidenced by the extra show he performed at OSL in Chocolands with his female-backed band (as opposed to his regular slot on the main stage with his male-backed band). And what was that thing about him giving away thousands of dollars in cash before one of his shows? He just seems like he's a lot of fun.

You're a Devin Townsend fan? Mind=bottled

I love how he sings on Sex & Religion. When that album came out I was listening to a lot of singers that could go to the intense, screamy side like Chris Cornell, Ed Kowalczyk, etc but Devin Townsend topped them all.


I don't know where else he sings like that, though. I should probably try some more Strapping Young Lad or some of the his more solo works but none of what I've heard there has grabbed me, really.

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

Strapping Young Lad's City is one of the best metal albums ever recorded. it's fucking brilliant. his solo stuff can be very good, and also very bad. There's a lot to wade through. The guy is brilliant, but his stuff can get a bit too bogged up in progressive rock bullshit. Ocean Machine is really good though. I still need to check out the last couple Devin Townsend Project releases myself.

[mountmccabe]

I have the Ocean Machine album; I liked it but it isn't anything like the Vai record.

I will check out City, thanks!

Honestly I find you a nice person, but I feel you post nothing but filler. Do you have any opinions? The avatar also makes me feel dumb.Change the av and put something controversial in your posts. Its just boring. I think your a kind person. just not adding much for someone who goes to so many shows.

sorry if I made you feel bad.

God damn't. Her avatar makes you feel dumb?

Does mine make you feel dumb as well? Should I change it in the hopes of improving your astronmically low IQ?

Re: The Faint, I really liked them in high school, but even then they weren't very good live. I hope they've gotten more entertaining.

I saw The Faint open for Bright Eyes in '05 and I remember thinking The Faint put on a better show. Bright Eyes was my favorite band at the time and performed Digital Ash almost in it's entirety, but The Faint were such a great time. Have you seen them multiple times and disliked it? Otherwise it could have just been an off night.

[SepaGroove]

I saw them around that time too and at 16 years old it was one of the best shows I'd ever seen.

But compared to shows/fests I've been to since then it wasn't that great, considering I haven't even thought about them in years.

Yeah, seen 'em twice, including during that tour, and I was just underwhelmed compared to how much I like them.

[LickTheLizzard]

They just announced "The Faint playing Danse Macabre" at venue here in November, and I read that Saddle Creek is reissuing the album. A Danse Macabre heavy set at FYF would be a blast.

[MostlyMellow]

addicted much? would be fine but its 99% shit reading. Sorry to rock this forums shitty family

[lunatic core]

Hey, fuck you.

[Mugwog]

COCAINE.

[Coachella Bound]

i get the hype...

[TallGuyCM]

I can't be the only one.

[SoulDischarge]

Skinny white guys with beards? They're ok, I guess.

[Mugwog]

I can't be the only one.

Some dudes who live in or desire to live in Silverlake?

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

It's Titus Andronicus.

[Miroir Noir]

I can't be the only one.

It may have something to do with this:

Flame away, but:



I Will Dare is such an amazing way to start a record, but upon listening to it front to back for the first time yesterday, at the end it left me feeling a bit flat. What am I missing here?

[bmack86]

And it's been long established that Chris hates fun.

[TallGuyCM]

I mean, they're cool. I just don't see why people are over the moon about them.
