Can we put a deadline on this?
How about midnight GMT tonight?
-
Because I think that nowadays, mentalities are changing a bit. You and I would never think that throwing bottles for example is a coll behaviour, but the selfcalled " true hardcore fans" might be okay with it, I dunno.
Those aren't true hardcore fans. Those are guys with a fetish and dial-up internet.

I actually dated a guy who was into a lot of metal that was a bit, too far, for me - for about six months.
His circle of friends and the places he hung out drove us apart. So, I mean, I'm basing it on more than just Download festival. And throwing bottles.
It certainly wasn't everyone, but I met with a lot of glorified violence and sexism that was either encouraged, or ignored, and it made me sad that a vocal minority ruined it for a lot of others.
You can pull up videos of different acts at Download for instance, it's not just a couple of isolated people doing it.
Humans have such a mob mentality sometimes.
You try finding a nice venue to play where everyone assumes you throw piss everywhere.
I've first hand seen people thrown out of venues for harassing women and being overly aggressive in pits. I was once headbutted by a guy in a pit (turned out it was his first gig), some guts helped me up, made sure I was ok (even checking my eyes with a light), took the guy out of the pit and explained that he went too far. I met him afterwards and he apologised.
I can bring up videos showing that this isn't isolated people being nice metal shows.

She actually is, but you can't blame her. Most of the people in those circles really do intend to pass that idea of themselves
Again, I've never met any who do. Quite frankly, metal concerts are wonderful experiences. Everyone understands what happens in a mosh pit (for example) and generally follows the ethics of them.

What reasons?I didn't want to bring rap into it, for obvious reasons.But, if you read my original post, my point was that the assholes who ARE violent give the entire "culture" a bad rep.
Having an accepted tradition of throwing bottles of piss at people makes a "sweeping statement" to the world, and implies those individuals WANT the culture to be viewed that way.
I've never met a single person whose condoned piss bottle throwing. I feel you're taking an extreme circumstance and applying it across the board.

Bottling and other types of aggressive behaviors are a little more common with "cultures" like the metal heads, though, which is my big problem.
You've got this gross, "uber-male" mentality that goes beyond elitism and into violence.
People who think hurting innocent people is not only acceptable, but funny/impressive.
By no means is that exclusive to metal.Mods vs Rockers
1970s Punks
1990s Gangsta Rap wars
1930s Delta Blues
It was present within classical music.
All you're doing here is grouping an entire fanbase of a massive genre into one, small box. It's ignorant and insulting. The thing about sweeping statements is all they do is spread shit.

There's been more than 3 before this
Osaka Jam
Helsinki Jam
Montpellier Jam
and MK jam
To my knowledge
Ah yes. Forgot about those. But they reenforce the trend of naming it after the city it debuted in.
-
Munich Jam.
We'd have a consistently named trilogy of jams and makes the most sense.
Sounds nice too.
-
Also, I think Munich Jam sounds better.
-
Amen. Dick heads can be very closed-minded I've found (I'm not saying all people who like metal are like this, just a lot that I've met).
Fixed.
The music you like doesn't define you as a person. Who you are does.

What is it with this album and the lack of low-mids?
They want the kick drum to be the sub-filler but they don't add in the low-mids the bass usually occupies when it's the sub-filler.
-
He was the same at my show too.
I was the only person who got a photo with him. He seemed really distant. I was going to ask Ben about it but he was so nice I didn't want to potentially bring up personal stuff.
-
I asked Peter from The Antlers about his rig, he was happy to talk about it. By no means was he a gear nerd, but he explained why he was using the guitars he used and what he liked about his amp. Twas nice. I also got a free beer off of them
-
I think MXR do a comprehensive bass compressor that works well with guitar.
-
And Dave, forgive me... I didn't mean it...
I know
You're too busy with booteek pedals and amps to deal with booteek beers. -
Craft beer is the alcohol equivalent to booteek pedals.
I love me some Fischer's. Very smooth.

Hence, fuck Barry's tea.
How's the leaving going? Have you started/finished it yet?
Starting in a week on Wednesday. Finished in 2 weeks on Wednesday.
Squeaky bum time.
-
Well would you rather be associated with Cark bai, or the rest of the country?
edit:
also, my new pickup arrived. Now for fun with rotary switches!
Fucksake Neil, you know for a fact Waterford hates everyone else.

It's fine. Since the board has slowed down it's refreshing to see new thread titles.
