Guest allsystemsfail Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 what about the people who go to see support bands then leave before the main act? Happens all the time in aberdeen. Just because these people can be trendy with their pals.With that I agree. It's a thing I've seen time and time again. Catch their friend's outfit, then leave.Or what about those folks who will catch only name bands - Converge is one, Dillinger Escape Plan another, yet choose to ignore comparable outfits who have made it through here.

The Milner Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 Well tell me this then, if MMW are such a scener band then how come all the little "emo", "hardcore" or whatever kids sat there and didnt really give them that much attention at the jonny truant gig??If they were such a sceners band then surely they would of had a bigger crowd reaction.

I really doubt those people would turn up. By scene i refer to bands that people know from name. Yeah i am part of the underground scene and proud of it. It's just alot of that mainstream pop punk/emo/chart music i dont like. It all sounds too samey to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, there is a great deal of difference between folks with a genuine love of music, and those who just wanna hang with their friends.

Guest allsystemsfail Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 who cares though?why let it bother us?people with a resent to scenesters are just as bad as scenestersWell, it is extremely dispiriting for touring acts. I often like to talk about the antimaniax show here last year, since it illustrates this so well. A lotta these folks will catch their friend's band, then they're out of there.

People who just turn up for their mates band would have no interest in this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moshulu Rob Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 Hey. This is my first post on here.I'll explan about myself quickly before I ask what i would like to know.I'm in my second year at college and along with the swarms of others' date=' I'm looking at universities. What I'm looking at as my first choice is Aberdeen, it offers a great course.However, sad as I am, I need to know about the music scene up there in good ol' Aberdeen. I live in north east england, and it's guna be quite a trek for me to go up north, and I quite simply need to have music.so.we finally get to it.What type of music do you have up there? Do you have rock nights? rock clubs/pubs? I ask because I know nothing I'm afraid. Where I live we have a rather good Indie/punk/rock-in-general scene and I hate to give it up but Aberdeen is too far to return home for the weekends.anything you can tell me about your music scene would be great.Cheers[/quote']Well....I hope you don't judge us by this thread.

Mac Atom Posted October 12, 2004 Report Share Posted October 12, 2004 man has a pointHehe, got a bit carried away with the "little brat" theme... Seriously though, I've been reading through a lot of the things that rune has posted on these boards and I can't believe how egocentric he is. It makes good reading - do a search for his posts and then sit back and enjoy as he contradicts so many of his own points and delves ever further into self-righteousness His ability to hijack a normal thread and turn it into his own propaganda is unparalleled.

You smell You must have a real low iq level. My point is that im sick of bandwagon bands churning out the same crap which does nothing to enhance the music scene, alot of these musicians and cant perform, they are an insult to real musicians.So tell me whats new in copying a style that has been done to death?I'm sick and tired of record companies flooding the market with bands that sound the same. You have a real nerve since you're sound does exactly that. Its totally unoriginal. Opinionated? So what i say what i feel, it's not a crime. Maybe for someone as ignorant and stupid as you it is tho. You still haven't argued my points in a constructive manner, think that says it all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
