EGC is fine it was just mildly funny that in our modern era rockstars take to Instagram to be petty and weird.

Bill and Troy both seem like some of the most genuinely pleasant people in the industry. Brent is basically me if I was famous and gave less fucks. I’m not sure if that’s a self complement or not.

To my friends in Stupid Music poo poo, I apologize if this doesn't belong but it feels like the right place for it: It is with tremendous sorrow and grief that I write of the passing of my dear friend and pet of 15 years, Missy. The dog from the first thread, the "that dog has seen some poo poo" doggie, whom I adopted from my sister's family at 18 months and she has been with me every day since, until today. Or tomorrow, I guess, officially. At Christmas 2016 everyone in the family could see she was changing: Loss of interest in things and people. Loss of interest in social interaction and a complete loss of how to do all her old tricks and basic obedience. Then came the incontinence and it was determined by her vet that her kidneys were failing due to old age and there was nothing that could stop it. I put her on prescription foods and NSAIDs and got her regular checkups, but she seemed unable to hear anything and no longer made eye contact with me, instead following my movement around the place by watching my feet. She stopped letting me give her meds. The kidney failure progressed until she barely ate, could no longer traverse the stairs for her walks or even walk in a straight line, and shortly after Christmas this year her hind legs gave out completely. She'd stay wherever I set her down and that was when her decline really accelerated rapidly. She became skin and bones and started getting sores from staying in the one position she wanted to be in: nose to tail, right leg under. I knew it was bad when she went four days this week without taking food. She hadn't moved on her own in a month. She lay in her own mess and I was constantly cleaning up and providing fresh bedding and mopping the floor twice a day. So I called the vet to schedule euthanasia for tomorrow but last night when I got home she just laid in her bed and cried and cried. It was heart-wrending. This morning when I got up, she was no better. She was inconsolable. I won't anthropomorphize her and pretend to know what she was thinking, but it was obvious she was in great pain. I called the vet again. On my way to work I took her to the vet a day early. She cried in the car the whole way there because she couldn't move around in the passenger seat to make herself more comfortable and I couldn't help her. The vet was waiting at the door of his clinic to take her from my arms. It was over so fast. I paid, took her blanket, left her sedated and hurried to work where I tried to distract myself with that bullshit. But now I am home and she's not here and she never will be again. 16.5 years is a "pretty-good-run," as they say, for a dog. For me, it was way too short. I can't describe how empty this apartment feels without her here. So here is to you, my good, good girl who had seen some poo poo. I miss you terribly.    Trump your dog:  and finally: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qk_q0VeaFGA Rest in peace, Missy-girl, you've earned it. I'm glad you're no longer in pain. Thank you for all the great years. Missy October, 2001 - Feb. 1st, 2018

I'm really sorry to bring this thread down so loving hard, but she was "that dog" in the first page of the first thread and I wanted everyone to know her better; especially now. I did everything I could for her about 15 years. My lame joke is my niece named her "Missy," but of course if I had gotten her first I would have named her "Stephanie Rae Vy."

It can be pretty terrible to have the sound too low as well. We played a local festival last year, as the token local band, and the venue was an indoors venue with room for about 400 listeners that was used as the punk/metal/alternative stage. During soundcheck, every amp on stage was turned to such a low volume it's a wonder the mics registered anything at all, and during the gig all audible confirmation that I was actually playing came from the monitor wedges that I would have to stand right next to at all times because they too were clocked so low that the sound drowned in drum noise if I moved even one step away. The sound tech didn't seem like he was used to anything harder than country, because all the bands on his stage were too low. We were really eager to see this band play: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LY076ho479U As we all love their debut album and think they are one of the more promising harder bands in our country nowadays, and the sound was so low we could actually hold a casual conversation in the front row. kjetting fucked around with this message at 10:51 on Feb 2, 2018 |

You will know that you are booked in a top notch venue when said venue has a large framed picture of the band Korn behind the bar and the best beer they have is bud light.

That's heartbreaking, Faustus. I know the pain of losing beloved pets, and dogs are particularly tough. You'll grieve and get over it, but you'll never really get over it, if you know what I mean. Rest in peace, little doggo. Like all dogs, you were too good for this world.

That is quite sad, Faustus. Condolences for your loss. Also, your departed dog looks a ton like the weird dog my wife and I adopted after fostering her and her six puppies. I’ll see if I can get a picture of her, because it’s freaking me out right now that these dogs look so similar. For stupid music poo poo: bit/synth pedals. I don’t know why it’s important for my guitar to sound like a lovely fuzzed-out Nintendo sound chip, but drat if it isn’t addictive as hell to make weird beeps and chirps.

Krustic posted:Metal. I know the tr00/kvlt vs radio metal debate is all dead dumb and pointless. I like the real metal. poo poo like Immolation, Bathory, etc. loving HATE Shadows Fall, Killswitch, Ax 7XFold, etc. All that watered down over produced not too threatening garbage for satellite radio. I call those bands radio metal. But they're straddling that line between metal and super softened radio rock, basically metal meets adult contemporary. That's just horrible. Not everything has to be bludgeoning you to death, but also you can't flash devil horns to a singer who does those inhale vocals and then there's 10 synth tracks to back up the lovely sing along chorus. My point is Korn are legends at sucking and are not pretending to be something they're not. They're confidently nu metal. I'm only talking the first three albums. But they're classic, timeless bangers. How was the show?

Haha nice. Like, the dudes is Disturbed can shred decently well but they just tour the world doing drugs while phoning in simple Drop D rock for however long a Disturbed set is. Then they go back to loving groupies and doing more drugs. Mudvayne does an 8-ball a night. It's not very moving music but it sells. And somehow I respect going full on nu metal much more than that dipping your toes in the cold water crap! My opinion! Except Korn owns. Or owned up to about the year 2000. That is fact!

People have been predicting the Imminent Death Of The Guitar since the 70s and it somehow keeps not happening. Guitar manufacturers are having problems, sure, just like every business in the world that isn't Amazon or Apple is having problems in the global nobody-has-any-loving-money crisis but the guitar itself is doing fine.

lol did I fall through time into a harmony central discussion from 2001 or something there's always going to be a market for music for people that don't really care about music, and that's cool yeah? not everyone is into digging deep into whatever genres (although considering how easy it is to do these days with streaming services I personally think it's inexcusably lazy) Here also is your current update on what's cool and getting signed in death metal at the moment: bands that really, really like demilich and early gorguts, honky guitar tones, and just saying fuckit and putting a hall reverb on everything https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yyDOrfCha3M https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxNkGupr4fg

Guitar is an incredibly versatile instrument - it's chordal, it's a drum, it can play in the lower registers, it can cry and sing. Ain't nobody replacing that, indie xylophones nonwithstanding
