Guest Scorge Spike Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 I don't see why negativity is a problem, perhaps only if it sprals out of control. I just reckon there's too much backslapping between 'scene' bands, and thus they react so badly to any criticism by starting a bitch fight. There's too many vain, egostacial, used tampons masquerading as music gods on this board.Great thread this................ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sundaram Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 Tis a shame if people get hurt when someone doesn't like their music, for instance, I am a friend of Sharon's and admire the way she has quickly took to the keys, but I dislike Real Shocks music.Never in a million zillion = a few trillion years would I choose to listen to it in the comfort of my own home, no, I'd rather listen to Emerson, Laks and Palmers 'Love Beach album than put myself through that horrid experience!!!

I admire his talent and also like the band(s) he is/has been in. Phil's like a big bro to me...

Gary Open Air Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 Before I go on, this is not aimed at anyone directly... Just at the Aberdeen 'Scene' if you will... ... I really have to say that alot of people who post on here, who do not actually play in a band, or have any musical expeirience; Just immediatley slate the first thing they see or hear, because someone will say they dont like it, and everybody else follows suit. This is really bad people.But what annoys me most about all these people who post on here, slagging off other bands, with thier huge amount of knowledge on music, is that, If they think they can do any better, than why dont they go ahead and show us whats really good, and is absolutley the most kick ass thing in the 'scene'. Alot of people on here have what I like to call 'Kerrang Writers Syndrome'. Everyone has opinions, and thats ok, they are like an ass hole everyone has got one, but the thing is... is that you are all way too opinionated for your own good... No matter how much alot of you think you know about music, you have no right to slate and slag and put other bands down, if you yourself know that you could not step up to the plate and try and go one better... Your not ace music critics... Alot of you are all a lame bunch of retards, that have nothing better to do with your worthless lives than sit and slag people off and think your brilliant for it... Its pathetic... Come on... Why put other bands on the circuit down, by having stupid posts like this... No good will ever come of these types of posts... people just get aggrevated... So whats the point? somebody please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know if I got told by someone that my band sucks (which I have been told) that I'd try and think of ways to improve the band... that certainly in the long term is a good thing... not a bad thing.Constant "back packing" acheives nothing in the long run.

[/quote']Yes, let's all pat everyone on the back, say "Good-oh chaps, that was splendid," all the while thinking "That was the most god-awful pish I've ever had the misfortune of hearing in my life," and then go for tea and crumpets in the garden on a nice sunny day with birds singing and butterflies fluttering.Alternatively, you could explain what the point is in making people think they are good when they clearly aren't.If you go to a restaurant, and the food is the most vile excuse for a meal you've ever had to eat, would you think "Oh I mustn't complain. I'm not a gourmet chef, and therefore I don't have the right to slag off this cooking"? No. You'd be pissed off and you'd make your feelings known to the chef, in the hope that it would make him try to improve.There are two types of people required for music: those who make it, and those who listen to it. If those that make it are useless, then why should those that listen to it put up with it? Criticism is what drives bands to become better, otherwise complacency creeps in and you get lazy and pish.(Incidently, I can and will do better than almost everyone I've ever seen in Aberdeen thus far. I'm just restricted by my lack of band members at the moment.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
