You knock Orgy and I'll knock you, sunshine!

No really though. Atari Teenage Riot with live drums? Horses for courses, innit?

What worries me is the plural use of the noun "hardon". I mean, how many dicks can one guy have?

I've been hearing promising things about aka the Fox. Good name for a band too.

Now, now let the person have an opinion.

It isn't the worst scene, just lacking a bit of originality.

It's a very strong scene with a lot of people who are clearly very passionate about it, however...

However...

Some People are a little precious about it, maybe.

That's fairly hard, bu try saying "She sells sea shells on the seashore" 3 times fast. THATS hard.

you're the get up kids! you're all about the music, and your emo side makes your music sound like you're being chased around your garage by a herd of rake and shovel bearing preps, but you play on, and that's great.

Who are these kids?

How can I possibly be emo, I dig prog rock?

so many questions so little time!

I'm them too.

They're actully pretty good, but I haven't heard their new album yet.

Until we get a "proper' name, and by proper name I do not mean a noun deserving capitalisation of the first letter, like "Paris" or "Billy", we're named after Zak Morris' band in Saved by the Bell.

It's an excellent idea, infact, i think we should ban smokers from society as a whole, they can be like outcasts, a bit like in fahrenheit 451 where they banned books, we could ban smokers, and burn anyone who smokes, ehmm yeah see the connection?

and

have you SEEN that smoking advert, where smokers obviously live a reduced quality of life, the woman doesnt like the restaurant, the man cant afford the sofa and the father doesnt enjoy his quality family time, therefore the smokers are obvoiusly discriminating themselves...geez get a life...watch more TV

ps, its okay, im ill and dying and over dramatising

Um, what?

So you really have never met someone who won't go to the cinema because they can't smoke there, because I have friends like that.

Neat, the first band I truly loved.

I dunno, he seems to like to release fairly hard stuff occasionally. I don't see any contradiction, he just seems to be saying the new songs will be more instant, or something. Neat.

Originally posted by Hardcore Mel:

I don't think it will work. People will be less likely to show up at a place where they can't smoke.

Yeah. I've met some people who go goddamn crazy if they can't smoke somewhere, so it could effect crowd numbers.

What makes you wanna go to a show and see bands give it shit on stage?

Because I either like the band, or I hope to be plesantly suprised.

Is it because you genuinely enjoy going to see live music?

Most of the time, yeah.

Do you only go if it's a band you are a fan of that is playing?

I prefer it if that's the case, but I think gigs are a good way to discover new stuff.

Do you go only when it's your mates band playing and you feel obliged to go?

I have done, but I often pay attention to the support acts and more often than not have enjoyed what my friends have done/ are doing.

Do you fancy the singer in a band and wanna score with him/her?

Yeah, but he said he likes them butcher than me on average.

Do you go to gain credibility?

No, and if anyone does, I heard it's considered cool to drive off Aberdeen Harbour these days.

Do you go because there's nothing else to do and you go to clubs and the band's just there?

I have done, but have been pleasantly suprised

or what?

What makes YOU wanna get up off your butt and go to a show?

Pussy

It'd be a pity if anyone confused them with the awesome King Liar and the Brutes, with their names being so similar an' all.

I personally tend to forget the names of the bands I don't like, sorry!

If you like bands the sing about Tetris, then you should check out 8bitpeoples (especially Nullsleep and Trash80) and Bit Shifter; rather than merely singing about Tetris, they use Gameboys to make music their music. It's all rather fantastic, in a very kitschy, nostalgic-for-my-youth kind of a way.

But Motormark really do suck...

Neat, I'll check them out.

Blasphemy! The supported Ladytron in the Lemon Tree last year and, my God, they were bad. They come across like a slightly poorer version of Adult. circa Anxiety Always (which is pretty poor in itself).

Good locals bands would include (in no particular order):

- Cuts

- Starfall

- Bench

- Rootdown

Thats at the same gig I decided they were awesome 'cos they sang about Tetris.

OOH! OOH! They all have drummers? (looks smug)

I'm kinda biased, and Sam worries me a little but King Liar and the Brutes are always fun.

Are WBL still active? They're good to rock out too.

I dunno how local "local" is, but Motormark are far too awesome.

I hate you because you're right, but then I look into your eyes and love you for making ME right, and a little embarrased.

Thanks for the info folks. Tryptich is looking VERY intresting, indeed. Have to see what cash-flow is like at the time.

Christian Olde Wolbers, I think

Hmm, I liked FF for the same reasons M.A.R.T. seems too, but I'll still check out the new stuff.

Originally posted by Dechristianise:

He's like a drumming 17th century caviler with those curly locks. I love him all the way to the bank.

So, what's the current FF line up?

I admit I havent been blown away by Fear Factory for many years but after hearing Archetype, the song, I was!

What a fucking catchy beauty!

I'm eager to hear this. They write some damn catchy songs for fat guys in shorts.

Y'know, I Like rock music. The instrument I attempt to play, many of my friends, my political allignment... I owe my discovery of these things to my discovery of (probably fairly bad) rock music in my 'teens.

BUT!

I'd really like to see some non-rock bands in Aberdeen. Is anyone doing Ladytron type electropop? Is anybody rapping? Does Aberdeen have a jazz scene.

I mean this to no slight to many of pretty awesome local rock bands I've seen, but I'd like a diffrent live experience. Anyone care to inject me with anti-ignorance medicine. If you're really nice, I may even let you give me it as a depository.

Morrissey and Marr.

Certainly, good call.

Prince hit his peak around the mid 80's and I've recently come to realise he OWNZ_YUO.

Hmm, this is tough. If I was a better musician myself, it might be easier...

I'm a relative novice but when I learn something new, I try and find a method of using that sounds good so I understand what I'm learning actully DOES.

I don't bother with other peoples songs much, except they too can me smoothen my playing speed, etc.

I understand a little notation, but I can by no means read music, but I do like trying more complex rhythms than I'd set for myself occasionally.
