  1. Pfffft :sleeping: . I seem to remember your opening gambit was along the lines of 'all you people are talking shit'. I then got called a moron for arguing for 'white boys from the 70's with mohawks' being what punk is all about. Which I never even said once. So forgive me for taking issue with you.

    By the way' date=' 'Static Age' or 'Legacy Of Brutality' are infinitely better Misfits albums than 'Famous Monsters' :D[/quote']

    well thats grand, but i dont see "you're talking shit" as hurling abuse.

    well done you managed to read my profile which lists albums which im listening to at the moment.did you presume that im not aware that the misfits have a back catalogue?

    by the way 'Aaron Gilman' is an infinitely better person than 'mjg1971' :D (that is fact, you stated an opinion.

  2. I can't recall arguing any case for white boys with mohawks from the 70's being punks only feature but yet again you have proved how clueless you are. Mohawks was a second wave of punk thing' date=' I cannot for the life of me think of one original late seventies punk band member having a mohawk other than Joe Strummers dodgy effort during the Combat Rock era. The Exploited, etc were the ones who did the whole mohawk thing.

    The Prodigy weren't 'mocking' novelty techno, their first hit Charly WAS novelty techno and they were in very god company with a wealth of other dire techno bads cropping up such as Altern8.

    I'm afraid I can't actually understand most of your post as it shows little grasp of how to form coherent sentences. I'll leave it at that, you came into this thread hurling abuse at people without actually seeming to understand the discussion that was taking place.[/quote']

    i wasnt aware i was being tested on my english. as for hurling abuse,when when exactly did this hurling take place?

    i was merely pointing out that how iggnorant it is to "not vote" or claim the list to be bolloks because of the nominees. i'd love to have seen you at your local polling station earlier this month "what? theres a tory candidate? this ballot paper must be wrong, i dont agree with this! its an out rage"

    scrote

  3. hog just step outside your door , you're in the one and only B.O lots of pretty sights.

    like, scotstown country park,

    buckie park

    lochside

    in fact my favourite place in the bo just now is tesco car park, on the spaces nearest the main road.

    3 spaces to the right of the last disabled spot. the view is spectacular.

  4. So do tell' date=' after all that ranting with no discernible point to make, what does make you 'punk'? I note you like all the bands such as NOFX and Pennywise so am guessing we touched a nerve.......the point people were discussing was what indeed is punk. You seem to be arguing for originality and controversy as a means to be 'punk'.

    Nirvana became successful on the back of a song Kurt admitted was an attempt to copy the Pixies. Are you referring to the Prodigy hit Charly which was their groundbreaking entry into the charts with their take on novelty techno? Or their later efforts to appeal to a more indie crowd by inclusion of guitars etc?

    NWA were indeed shaking up America but hardly by means of being punk - it was by being black and promoting a gang lifestyle....[/quote']

    i never said i was punk, but here goes, i'm punk because im not being a moron like you, who sees punks only as white boys with mohawks from the 70's.

    how exactly have you hit a nerve with me? if you read my original post you'll see that i said i like about 90% of the bands in that list, other people's views on bands like the ones i like doesnt matter to me.

    punk is not necessarily about originality but at the same time not, however the points about nirvana and prodigy was that look at the charts at the time, who else was doing what either band was doing? wether it was mocking novelty techno or ripping off the pixies, nobody else was doing it like that. as for NWA, at that time in america(Reagan/Bush era) being black and having something to say was punk.

    the passion to make a stand for something in a way that is meaningful and memorable whether by ridiculing figures or authorities or whatever, or with spitting rage has not gone away. people just dont want to let a wider range of things into their circle.

  5. im sorry but most the people in this thread are talking shit.

    looking like the ramones or any of the older outfits doesnt make you punk.

    no let me revise that.

    not looking/sounding like older punk outfits does not make you not punk.

    look at the boundries broken by the "non-punk" bands on the list.

    Beastie Boys- probably the first "successful" WHITE rap group

    Public Enemy- talked about politics at a time when people were happy rapping about how much better than the next guy they could rap

    Nirvana + Prodigy - both left a mark on the singles chart with songs that no one else in the mainstream were doing at that time

    NWA- actually made middle america fell threatened (its only a had full of songs for christs sake)

    well you get the idea, and many of your punk heros are punk because what? they copied sid vicous' look and happened to be around in '77 - '79 ?

    dont get me wrong, i love 90% of the bands on that list, i just wish sometimes you lot would take a step back and look at the door, instead of peeping throught the keyhole

  6. For some reason' date=' I also knew that obi wan beat Anakin and that he fell into a volcano, thus the darth vader costume.

    turns out I wasn't far off! Was this common Star Wars knowledge? I honestly don't know where I got it from.[/quote']

    i knew this aswell, i thought it was common knowlege?

  7. I just want to know why Obi-Wan says "Don't seem to remember ever owning a droid before" In this movie he always talks to Artoo. It's only 17 years' date=' surely he'd remember a droid he's just spent the last 13 years with.

    And also, he says "I haven't gone by the name Obi-Wan since, oh before you were born" Surely he was known as Obi Wan when Luke was born??[/quote']

    "it is the truth... from a certain point of view."

    obi wan never owned R2 and to hide his jedi identity following the purge, he changes his name back to Ben Kenobi.

    so possibly he told luke what he did, in order to protect him in a way.

    was part of his training no discovering things by himself?

    i mean it'd be pretty shitty if right after saving him from the tuskans he said " oh by the way, vader is your father, me and that droid fought together during the clone wars and leia is your sister."

  8. I was kinda confused by windu kicking palpatines ass. Was he stronger than yoda then? I don't believe Palpatine let him get one up on him so that he could turn anakin' date=' it doesn't make any sense because anakin only arrives after windu has palpatine on the ropes.

    [/quote']

    while yoda is the WISEST of the jedi, Windu is the STRONGEST, it says so in episode II i think " as wise as master yoda and as powerful as master windu"

    I thought Cody should have felt a little more guilty at being told to kill obi wan.

    also episode II the kaminos tell obi wan something like "your army is very obedient" so when they're given the order by plapatine there'd be no guilt, they'd just do as their told.

  9. saw it on saturday and thought it was immense.

    was the last sequence on the star destroyer meant to be a couple years after vader being put into the suit? because i noticed that the uniforms of the officers and tarkin dont appear anywhere in the prequel trilogy and surely uniforms didnt change immedeately after the fall of the republic.

    still a few things im unsure of aswell, in episode 2 on kamino, the natives tell kenobi that syfo dias ordered the clones, so what happened to him? was he palpatines apprentice prior to maul? or was he after maul and dukoo succeeded him as apprentice? OR did palpatine employ a changling to impersonate dias to order the clones?

    im hoping they make a sequel trilogy. that'd be smoking

  10. Not ignorant at all because he is correct. Let this be a lesson to you; Mathematics erodes your soul.

    hes not correct, because he implied that im 100% british trying to be a yank.

    but i learned to speak in hong kong in an international school, so im naturally im going to speak/type how i was taught.

    so stop being so fucking ignorant
