maud 'dib

Even out of context, those epithets are positive. Within context, even more so. But thank you for the elaboration.

 

But you're right, so long as the intended recipients took it the correct way, all is well. I'll even look beyond the fact you decided to make it personal by having a 'dig' at my own musical endeavours, despite it being utterly irrelevant to anything.

sure dude, to me it sounded patronising- which I may have have mis-read as mutual admiration between buddies, which happens a lot on here- I'm sure i'm as guilty of it as anyone- but I'm blunt-  ...and because this is Aberdeen everybody knows what everybody else has done it is relevant what your musical output is/was. It informs the critique.  But let's get along, aye it it was a cheap dig on your past endeavours- but it was the tone that put me off. Nef C's nae fussed, I'm nae fussed- I'm sure you're nae fussed. lets move along.

happy days min.

It's not quite as memorable as your very first effort, but it's still a really listenable little ditty. I love the ramshackle nature of it all, it gives it a lot of charm. It's earnest and really quite endearing.

How the fuck can what I said be taken as a diss?

ditty, charm,earnest,endearing. just me obv. u guys are bud's. nae offence. I'd say raging, with bollocks and loaf eye. different strokes. etc.

if it disnae piss the artist in question off it's a non event.

I really don't think he was man, he came to see us on tour and has always been supportive of LDM. Thanks for the kind words anyway, though.

nae bovs. keep it real min.

What do you mean?

i think you have a real talent for promotion. went to a headache night and it was rammed. It's a great thing getting folk involved in live music, cause live music is loud, great fun and right in yer face. and yer band has bollocks, and energy. phil  just in a roundabout way dissed you. thats how it read to me- in his usual wordy way. pick a fight if it's worth it.

xx

I took what Phil said as a massive compliment, really. You should stop posting on here drunk or high or whatever, but thanks for listening to the track!

nae bother dude, on the coffe at the moment but keep spreading it- I marvel at your powers of promotion in relation to talent dude!

EDIT!

anyway, that was a dig at phil's solo effort not you're lot so slick off warrior!

It's not quite as memorable as your very first effort, but it's still a really listenable little ditty. I love the ramshackle nature of it all, it gives it a lot of charm. It's earnest and really quite endearing.

sound's like you're saying it's shit.

what happened to your sub-labradford solo act BTW?

i won't even listen to it. but it's named after a KV novel. must be guid.

edit. it's guid.

nae mad vox this time. sort it oot.

xx

eh-up.

i enjoyed it a lot, mostly for the funnies. the audio/video was well slick- for a live stream, mair power to them. most of the bands were gash for my tastes- but they all sounded like themselves. the interview with jablonski was the high point for me, just hilarious. (and yes I realise his drummer died- that's sad, but the band are still pub rock shite.)

production wise, great stuff- Ironside - who I like to call beardy boy fae one day removals was great, the faux american chick was a bit grating- but thats probs just me.

guid fun. guid entertainment.

better bands would make it better though eh?

too much shit pub rock metal as far as I can see- but that's pretty much the label's remit.

I enjoyed it though.

Is there a download/link for members of the press?

hit meh.

I should take up golf. this is a rough. don't hurt me. bruce songs next, and all the rest. XXX

this is beastin' just thought I'd share.

It's got a secksy groove. But it's naemything. so I'venae idea.

Deadloss and Bonesaw definitely sound the same.

And Boak haven't played The Hoorings...yet.

they will though. chuggedy bug tuneless hardcore is great for openers on a touring band min. 

just sayin'

xxx.

I can't be arsed with this. 

Best:

 

Absolutist

 

They do what they do as well as - or better than - anyone else I've seen attempt it. Largely predictable most of the time but the right vibe and very effective. Oli is a great, solid drummer. Callum and Shea do exactly what they need to. Probably my favourite band in Aberdeen just now.

 

Bonesaw

 

Classic death metal played ideally. Sid's lead parts are awesome, Andy's vocals are brutal and everything is always tight. Paul needs to up the volume as I can never hear him right but otherwise spot on. Their new album is great too.

 

Death Watch

 

I enjoy these guys a lot. This type of music is something I'm into a lot at the moment and they pull it off. Could probably do with less gigs in the short periods of time they take them on, and they (like us (Bisongrass)) need to write a little quicker haha.

 

Deadloss

 

Not much to say other than that they are one of the most enjoyable bands I've seen in Aberdeen. Consistently so as well.

 

Korpse

 

Not much to say - awesome paced metal with good groove. Great bass sound, great drumming, ace riffs. Very enjoyable gigs any time I've seen them. That's about it.

 

BOAK

 

Seen them once (first gig), totally into it. I don't like a huge amount of bands from here, but I definitely liked what I heard and look forward to more.

 

 

Worst:

 

I tend not to bother paying much attention to a band if I dislike them. Some I can't seem to get away from though. It is as simple as that I don't think they are very good at what they are trying to do. Even a band's attitude is enough for me to dislike them. I'm probably forgetting a lot of bands that I didn't rate, but the immediate ones that come to mind are:

 

Matanuska

SIDCA

Miss Lucid

 

There was one from Stonehaven that was an uncle and nephew type affair. They weren't very good. I can't remember the name.

respect.

all the bands you like sound the same, and they all play the moorings.

I think you are a really guid guitarist, with great skills, but tunes elude you.

nae offence, just being honest ye odious prick!

Nevermind. As you were I suppose.

 

(I still don't get what is going on here, is it just a bitter attention-grabbing rant thing that's going on (which is fine, i'm sure nobody minds) or is there a real point to this thread?)

yeah. 

Weird, cryptic responses when questioned on their view in this particularly mental thread.

 

Top debate.

The thread title is pretty self explanatory. 

But I like the use of weird and cryptic. These words are pleasing to me.

Essentially:

I've been here ages, and seen two types of bands- good ones, and shit local pub-rock bands of all genres.

I just find it strange that either of the two categories have made some sort of impact, don't get me wrong wise, I'm a hobby-ist- and it's never been any other way for me, but I just find it strange that nobody really breaks out- like in that bangin' foo fighters track. 

I don't get it. 

 

Anyway, I'm asking what is meant when you say Aberdeen bands fail? ...Is it not getting a lucrative recording contract?

Oh for God's sake. I don't know why I bother. 

Talk about a thankless task. 

I like the music but the title is a bit vommy. It's like a daemons song title. But bangin' music, I still think you should start a proper band like, but that's just me- laptop music is a bit non-secksy for me. it's guid though.

xx

What's the definition of 'fail' in this thread?

Newrrgh Wrrrld Oreder

I despair with you people. 

Newrrgh Wrrrld Oreder

Yer crotch is heaving with thetan's. get audited dude. You will rest better. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrbbbbb. Hollow Earthhhhh.

String She Pulled was incredible. The only negative I took away from it was far too many people who haven't been to shows in years talking about how much they "miss" the Aberdeen music scene or how it reminded them of "when there was" a scene here.

 

 

It's still here, mate. You just stopped turning up.

I don't go to gigs as much as I used to. but last year I was lucky to see some cool stuff- mainly bands from out of town. I find it funny that you support the bland ( tom's etc) locally and yer label is bangin'. odd set up. 

I maintain Aberdeen has guid bands- mainly drowned out by the average and dull. been this way a while. I blame the gatekeepers, peer pressure and vested interests. It's aright though. 

I'm looking forward to the Fudge Awards, celebrating pub rock et all. In the last ten years- LOVELESS. great band, stac set- great band, nowadays min D. rest of it is mainly pub rock pish. it's complicated not complex. See yis the morn.

and yer' band is shite.

i think you guys are of to a roaring start. I like the bonkers vox in the first song, and this is different. personally I dislike high up vox because it's jist gay- but sounds good. Still hearing a lot of bruce- gaslight anthem. that's just me. all the best.

minus three rep fae the biggest fannies on here! yas min teckle

Soz. i got pissed. I used to like turning 13/interlace. I still do. guid tunes. I watched the live feed and was doing okay till some overconfident cunt with a bandana on turned up. it's my bad- I was vomming- it was like the hey-day of kris a gogo and brian fae fudge. I sez soz. 

I can't explain my reaction to jablonski. he's a warcrime. I like captain tom- but by shitting hell he's nae running 4ad, SST or touch and go. that's just me though. I think his ears are faulty.
