bryn Posted August 2, 2004 Report Share Posted August 2, 2004 I don't think the purpose of this thread is valid at all. I play gigs and my friends (who are generally not gig going types) come to see my band. Aside from a couple, mostly they wouldn't give a shit about the other bands, more likely just there to socialise, have the novelty of watching a friends band then carry on the night from there. If you think about it, if I werent playing, my frends wouldnt be there at all so bands would miss having the opportunity to impress a unamused, uncaring bunch of people - possibly a test of how shit the band is? - how many people pay the smallest bit of attention.I also don't think its just Aberdeen thats in a musical shit hole. Listen to the radio, watch MTV, read magazines - good music isn't common at the moment. Just weak, bland immitations, watered downrock bands and easy listening type stuff. Its all been said before and is all well aknowledged (sp?) so i wont go on. In this day and age The Libertines, Pete Doherty and Morrissey are considered geniuses!

Guest Stripey Posted August 2, 2004 Report Share Posted August 2, 2004 if i download stipeys mp3's and like them' date=' will i still be able to think hes a cock? i mean the bob from poo is really funny on here but i dont care for his band at all! lordy! lordy!......honestly, i think i wont bother he probably makes that "clever techno" music that everyone pretents to like but cant stand the elitist shit.also, i'd like to add i think its great that ibid also choose the mainstream and witless term " cock" for stipey, there's a certain magic there!........................[/quote']I don't write techno.

We have a lot of fun with our music but isnt what its all about??And as for my taste in music, you dont know what i like or the rest of us but we have better taste than to listen to the shit you call music.

In this day and age The Libertines, Pete Doherty and Morrissey are considered geniuses![/quote']and the saddest thing is? you are right its bland pop has changed used to be u2 with ace music and lirics that made you think now is all about my man/woman left me so i am so lonely or about the love that should go on. this is hipochrisy (or however you spell it) that what it is....agreed most band in aberdeen arent really talented or more procisely dont care about talent and gopo for the simple 4 notes on a 4/4 tempo. how easyer can it go? punk wasnt about the music was about the lirics it was the metal version of proper getto rap where the music is there for presence and nothing else is the meaning the counted...how many bands in aberdeen actually wrote a song about what hppend in iraq? it was just america being a bully and petty revenge. but socially involved songs are few and far between.this is not for you bryn but for everybodyso if someone dosent like your band just live with it i know it comes as a shock because you surround yourself with people that adore your music (or say thay do) but is life and you cant change it i have to admit that P O O do very simple music but some people like it and other dont.i am in a band and no metter the size of the audience as long as thay ENJOY themself i am happy that is what entratainment means Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Bring On The Sluts" LyricsVerse 1Knowing different girls and being nice to them was boring' date='All I ever wanted from them was a little whoring,That's when I saw her one day just walking down Canal Street,Staring at her boobies but eventually our eyes meet,There is something special bout a girl that don't care,You're staring at her body and you want your hands there,Well she knew me in one second and she said "Hey boy, you're in luck...""Would you like to fuck?"BreakVerse 2Okay so Im lying cos that really didnt happen,I wish it really did cos Ive been wanking like a madman,[/quote']Yeah, thats like, totally mature, dude.

Guest Mr Blastcap Posted August 2, 2004 Report Share Posted August 2, 2004 crickey!i just downloaded stipeys tune from his website, its okay...maybe i should check out the new poo stuff just for comparison since they dont play that sluts song any more- however (harumff) i find both artists dull and derivative....so now i'm listening to blonde redhead , ian simpson and 50ft wave- respectively- totally peerless, melodic and mental but much respected.i thank u.later local types.i dont mean to offend, i just think you should all shut the fuck up.

You probably don't realise what it could do for you.well if u mean creating music on a computer then to me that just dosent seem rite at all. music is about feeling what u thinks rite in my opinion. and since doing it on a computer means theres no real feeling there at all its all a bunch of 1's and 0's then its a bit shit really i still think the best way to write music is to get a few musicians together in a room and just play. each to their own and everything its not my thing at all...and to you what i do isnt your thing (from what i gather) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bryn Posted August 2, 2004 Report Share Posted August 2, 2004 God, the amount of lame things these point of origin chaps have come out with, nearly everything I read I wanted to reply to - especially the self suggestions of them being artists or creators of any credibility etc.The amount of egoism existing in point of origin is crazy, they blantantly can't be considered anything other than complete musical retards yet consistently big themselves up. I consider myself an artist of my instrument (to a degree) and I take even the slightest bit of criticism quite seriously and wouldnt dream of arguing my bands credibility to the extent they do - i.e, appear to be a complete unmodest, fekkin arsehole (soz, watched father ted erlier) without a hint of subtlety or acceptance of flaws.Its funny, Stripey has ridiculed anyone that has argued with him. Especially point of origin / bob - who is about as funny and clever as a piece of spinach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
