Guest Stripey Posted August 1, 2004 Report Share Posted August 1, 2004 Spot on spotty. Our songs aren't written in darkly-lit bedrooms on computers while our mummies bring us hot cups of chocolate' date=' so I guess we couldn't be as original and meaningful as you.Bob[/quote']Oh yeah I forgot to add, thats rich coming from you Bob, given that you live with your parents.

The Milner Posted August 1, 2004 Report Share Posted August 1, 2004 well when your 20 you aitn exactly a kid now arent you. 'Punk Rock' bands like Quik and Point Of Origin dont really pull in a lot of people nowadays.We certainly haven't noticed poor attendances at our gigs. If anything, I'd say Point of Origin are more popular than ever before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rass Posted August 1, 2004 Report Share Posted August 1, 2004 this is the best post so far on this thread' date=' am rethinking my original point because of this, still, reckon it must be slightly disheartening to perform to a small crowd, but your point is so true![/quote']Why thank you Yeah, naturally it can be a bit disheartening, like the first time you stand up there in front of about 10 people or somthing, but if your in it for the right reasons, it's not an issue, personally i dont think theres any point in getting down about shit like that. The only time i ever let myself get down about a performance is if i haven't done as well as i could do, like just being rusty or wasted or something, but it doesnt happen very often.I just wish people on this thread would stop pissing and moaning about the 'scene' its all this over anylising and politics bullshit that's killing it imo, isn't is about the music? or did i miss something?

Nuns in Brazil boogie to it, a computer geek in Bristol picks his nose while appreciating it's artistic integrity and a Supercomputer in Japan by the name of 'Jeff' uses it for file shredding and as a firewall all at once. What hacker would want to wade through that anyway?It's just that genius like shitey's is so few and far between that very few people can appreciate the artistic beauty in something like his casio keyboard's demo mode."Hey mum!

I'm not having a dig' date=' just curious as to what makes people want to get up on a stage infront of people.[/quote']I dunno what it is that makes me wanna get up there, i guess it's kinda like a drug, the adrenaline and all that. I'm pretty shy and withdrawn normally, but theres no place for that on stage especially when your playing music that pumps you so much. As far as atom is concerned, the actual performace is a selling point along with the music in a live enviroment. I guess i do get off on being on stage, its one of the reasons i do this, it's prolly the complete opposite of what you do, but for me the performace is what it's all about, recording is cool, but it really bores me, it's just kinda that anal perfection thing i dont go for, but the rest of the band are all very much into that, so it's cool, i trust them and just kinda take a back seat and record when i need to, the end product is always fun, but it's just good coz it means you can go out and play all these new songs live. I think it's just (if you have a like-minded crowd) the connection you can actually see between you and the crowd, how they react to what your doing, bouncing enery back and forth, it is an awesome experience, and even if you havent got the crowd, the musics still there, and the energy comes from that. Yeah, playing live is as important to me as recording, if not more so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rune Posted August 1, 2004 Report Share Posted August 1, 2004 Im afraid you really dont know your arse from your elbow pal. I have seen some amazing performances in aberdeen lately from original bands such as "my minds wepon" and "contra" neither of which you would say are "tribute bands".Get a grip man.There isnt anything new in their sound tho........

Do you mean "there" at the end? And "wasn't" in the middle? If so, then I suspect they'd play to the same small crowds that touring bands get here. Like several band members have already said occurs.

Guest user Posted August 1, 2004 Report Share Posted August 1, 2004 If I go to see a band it is because a friend has asked me or have said they were playing. I never intentionally go to watch bands play because, quite frankly I think they are terrible. Take for example last night, I visited the Moorings, there was a band playing, the singer was a female but I can't recall the name, some of the songs involved screaming and that is what annoys me the most. Untalented singers who have to scream and distort the sound to the point that the crowd thinks that their bad vocals are done intentionally, take note My Minds Weapon.Stripey, you are an egotistical wind up merchant. If you feel the need to get your point across to all of the scenesters, groupies and generally immature spotty teenagers in this so called scene, why don't you go out and do something about it, I would bet that a high percentage of the bands have never heard of Aberdeen Music.While I'm at it, have you noticed that on this website all the bands in the band forums pages are quite low on the rankings of the scene and are also in general the bands, which appeal to the younger generations, generations who have grown up with the American dream.Point of Origin, you have such a great mind, I hear channel 4 are looking for comedians, you seem to enjoy trying to wind up the obvious wind up merchants which shows myself and others that you are falling for their tricks.Rune, local bands would probably be able to draw in large crowds if they went somewhere else but they need to learn how to market themselves properly. As it stands they are not doing this. All I see when I go out are posters on walls in places like drummonds which are surrounded by other bands posters.

All the bands that have forums here are geared mainly towzrds entertaining the younger generations! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand if I had have said "everyone thinks the bands are terrible" maybe your reply would have been at best half decently suited! Nothing online can be taken seriously with the threat of hackers, International news websites are being defaced monthly. Forums are always a circus, some people have radically different views. In a circus trainers, performers, animals and crowds have radically different interaction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rune Posted August 1, 2004 Report Share Posted August 1, 2004 It seems really petty that when someone goes against the grain and upsets the bandwagon you get all these people attacking, atleast user is being honest and expressing himself. Something which on this forum you get no credit for, its easy to follow the crowd and well its even harder to be your own identity.Its life that the minority get laughed at and tried to get belittled, personally i dont give a shit what anyone else thinks about my opinion or interests, i do it for myself and wont ever try to become something im not. It would be untrue to myself and i think morally wrong.If these forums are such a joke bob then why participate in them? Havent you got anything better to do?
