The Milner Posted September 14, 2004 Report Share Posted September 14, 2004 What a waste of reading that was.For god sakes can we just stop slagging off each others bands all the time?Why do things always come back to "oh your band is shit" or something similar to that?If Ben and chris dont get on so well fair enough but it always comes back to the same shit.Cant Aberdeen bands try and help one another out instead of this rivalry or snobbery that goes on instead? After all we're all in the same boat are we not?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest WalkingOnGlass Posted September 16, 2004 Report Share Posted September 16, 2004 Could this possibly be an all-time low for the non-musical thorns in the side of aberdeen-music.com? I think so...That's all I'll add...But things are going swell...Writing is happening constantly and friends in higher places that Aberdeen are being made. Recording again next month, same place, same deal, but no release..Just better quality edof recording and better songs...Anyways, we'll see where we all are in a year, fingers crossed...take care, let the slagging commence once moreJamesy x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Gilman Posted September 16, 2004 Report Share Posted September 16, 2004 this thread is bawz.who really cares what a band puts in their bio? obviously its just words put together to try and grab interest for the band. if you're gonna complain about that, then fuck it dont flyer or anything like that.i can imagine it now18th september @the mooringsGILMAN STREET-they're total pish, i wouldnt bother if i were you.really? is that what you want weapon to do?i think you should stop being so anal.besides maxwell are you not always goin on about how "no-one pushes themselves past aberdeen, my band played here there blah blah" then when a band does try and expand it self, you have a go at them for doing this?i mean im not the biggest fan of MMw's (sorry if i got the cases wrong) music, but i'd wish them the best of luck in whatever projects they're taking on, whether or not i'd personally use the words they do to promote their band. afterall it could lead to a lil bit of exposure to this shitty town, mind you apperently there are no ( or relatively little ) good bands here aye maxi?

Guest tv tanned Posted September 16, 2004 Report Share Posted September 16, 2004 I really fail to see why this sectarian 'musicians and non-musicians' bullshit enters into it.I don't see professional musicians insulting music journalists based on the fact that 'they don't have a band'.
