  2. Smoking

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Fuckin' ace! I think people have a right choose what they do and don't do, but I am totally for this. As a non smoker I can't fucking stand the fact that I have to inhale the shite in pubs, if people wanna smoke and fuck their health, fine, it's their choice, but I don't want to have my health fucked through passive smoking....

    I closed it because it was nonsense and the date had passed anyway. It was a joke thread' date=' that was pretty funny but didn't serve any real purpose and wasn't advertising a genuine event.

    I should have left a message explaining why it was closed but I forgot, sorry.[/quote']

    Unless it was offensive or people had stopped posting on it .... why do you care? :p

    :( Hmm, sorry last post was typed before you put in the 2nd reply. Well first off, I think you need to get her to talk. Be that to you, or to anyone else. Anytime I've been down, after I talk to someone, I ALWAYS feel at least a little better. If you confide in at least one person, it lessens the burden at least a little, you don't feel like you're completely alone anymore. Just try to offer support when you can, but be subtle about it, don't make the situation stand out more than it already does, a helping hand here and there, just so she knows somebody cares. Oh and try keep her away from excess alcohol (if you can). Alcohol is a depressant and can really drag you further down (been there). That's all I can think of just now, good luck and hope it improves.

    This is a toughie. I've known people, as Jimmy said, who are just out for attention. They'll give themselves a tiny cut, tell everyone about it, and sit back and wait for the flurry of sympathy. It depends how she told you, and did she give any reasons? All you can do is be there for her, if you can maybe give a little more detail, I can maybe help you a little better, as I've had close friends who have done similar. Good luck, hope you manage to get it sorted. :(

  6. 12 yr old Brendon Neill

    I have to be honest' date=' i downloaded Drowning earlier, and its not great..

    I mean, for a 12 year old - im very impressed, but its music, entertainment - and you have to take that on the strength of it alone.... the playing is good - but the songwriting and singing were definately not up to the rest of the standard....

    sorry to be the twat....[/quote']

    Give the lad time Doc. Yes I agree, after listening to about 4 or 5 tracks, that some of them are weak (by this I don't mean bad, but rather they are too generic, run of the mill), but there are a few which are very good. This little guy has plenty time yet to develop and mature as a singer / songwriter yet. He has the seeds of something very promising here, and I can see him going far if he continues to mature and improve at the rate he has been going. But you do have a point, give it a few years, when Brendon is a little older, he'll need to rely more on musical prowess than the novelty of being so young. I guess there's always two sides to a coin.

  9. Buckcherry Reunion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wohoooooooo!!

    in Music Discussion

    Posted

    "Reunited Los Angeles hard rockers BUCKCHERRY have completed work on their third album, tentatively due in Japan in late July/early August. The follow-up to 2001's "Time Bomb" was produced by guitarist Keith Nelson and marks the band's recording debut with their revamped lineup, featuring a new drummer, bassist and rhythm guitarist. There are rumors that Jimmy Ashurst is their new bass player (Jimmy played with Izzy Stradlin of GUNS N' ROSES in Izzy's solo band IZZY STRADLIN & THE JU JU HOUNDS), but this has yet to be officially confirmed. A U.S. record deal for the new album has yet to be secured."

    Oh hell fuckin yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I loved these guys! They were the best god damned Rock band to crawl out of the gutter since Guns N' Roses!!! Josh Todd was the best damned front man since Sebastian Bach, and Keith Nelson's riffs were always big and badass! Can't wait! What say you?? :D:rockon::band:

  11. New Foo's Album

    in Feedback Forum

    Posted

    Mediocre? I would say that in a musical era of copycat bands stealing the glory of the original artists originality' date=' it's been nice to have a solid full on Rock band such as the Foo's, who possess the creativity and talent to keep their music fresh and listenable. Their new albulm just highlights this.

    Fair enough they will never be in the same league as Guns n roses, or led zep, but then its nice to see that their not trying to be pretentious and produce over the top epics, with cheesy two minute solos blasting out of the now obligatory les paul such as the darkness and my chemical romance, who will never last as long as the foo's.

    What im trying to say is that Dave Grohll and his buddies know exctly what theyre best at, and are always trying to keep their music fresh even after five albulms. The accomplishment of coming out of Nirvana and actually producing a band of almost equal stature speaks volumes in itself.

    Long live the Foo's ![/quote']

    Fair doos. Just when I listen to it, I get very little from it. I think: meh not bad, but is there anything better on? They are by no means a bad band, they have a few tracks I actually really like (i.e. learn to fly, monkey wrench) and are streaks ahead of a lot of other modern pish, but I'll always check out an older band I've never heard of before I'd check out a new hyped up band. But alas, that's just me. Oh p.s. dude, you're into blues aren't you? check out my thread on Andy Timmons, he's done his fair share of blues and it's pretty damn decent :D

    Any other Andy Timmons fans on here? This guy is the dogs bollocks! One of my very favourite virtuoso Guitarists. Anyone who is serious about Guitar should definately give this guy a blast: Andy Timmons Official Website click on the "Tunes" link and give a few a whirl. Plenty of tuneful Guitar instrumentals and some blues under the "Pawn Kings Album" and "I remember Stevie" is a tribute to Stevie Ray Vaughn, which is on "Ear-X-Stasy". Tell me what you think,

    YGW: I'm a dude' date=' not a leader of prostitutes. Heeeeey... I've got an idea...

    Penny: EG is to see how badly my heart is enlarged. Either congenital or more likely 'cos I'm a fat bastard who goes through periods of going "hmm, I should lift weights" or "hmm, I should go run until I pass out" and thus makes my heart work harder than it should. I'm going for the latter option. :D[/quote']

    Sorry dude :D

    Good for you!

    I've got an echocardiogram (on my heart' date=' I'm not pregnant as being male would put paid to that... I think) today, so no, I'm not. However, come Saturday, the motley (gamestation) crue shall be getting muntered in your local Bassment and Moshulu. Look for the large group of drunken men spouting various arguments over the finer points of gaming. It'll be us.

    Should anyone wish to join us in our lively debates on various topics, merely announce your presence by shouting "STAAAAAAAHT!" loudly. This will herald the end of your initiation and the acceptance into our elite group.

    No point to this post whatsoever, but then the thread has no real point anyway.

    P.S: Beer is far superior to wine, but spirits beats all. Vive la drunkenness. Is that even a word? o.O[/quote']

    I agree totally madam, but wine happened to be the only available means of getting pissed. :D

    I wouldn't mind it but I got one already, Bargain of the century! My friend had one lyin in his room for like 2 years (he gave up really soon after he got it and took up bass instead) and I offered him 100 for it and he took it! A steal!

  22. Your worst hangover ever?

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    My worst one was before christmas. It was Jack Daniels promo night in the pub and every one was buying double JD / Cokes, but all they wanted were the T-shirts and prizes! Anyway I was half sloshed by then anyway (5 or 6 pints and 3 vodkas) and people were just leaving the JDs lying there (I swear there must have been at least 20 double JDs just lying going to waste at our table!) so I started helpin' myself. Me being drunk, thought they were just singles and stupidly drank 10 of them. By this point I was absolutely hammered beyond belief. I headed back towards my room shortly after, but fell asleep outside the TV room on the way. Some kind folks dragged me to my door only to discover I didn't have my key, so left me. Then another "kind soul" came along and decided it would be funny to hit the drunk guy with a brush. I ran off and locked myself in the shower room, only to wake up later with 2 university wardens staring back at me and the shower room door splintered open (they made me pay for the door!). The unlocked my door and helped me into bed. I woke up the next morning with the most intense pain in my stomache, and hurled no less than 5 times that day! This pain lasted for 3 days. It dulled a little each day but it was still pretty damn painful, even by day three. I've been more careful with my drinking since and actually have given up heavy drinking. I never go beyond 4 units of alcohol / day. :D But yeah, my advice, never go to a JD promotion night!!!

  24. The last scene points thread...

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I don't mind the fact they are gone. Means I can actually express my opinion without some little tit leaving something insightful like "wank" or "shite" on my scene points :D Also means I can be tit now and then myself. But I eventually started signing scene points anyway, I don't hide. If you piss me off I'll just tell you so. heh. But I have to admit I WILL miss slipping the odd negative to the assholes of the site (you know who you are).
