JacksSmirkingR3venge Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Or a vast majority of teenage girls are genuinely annoying Very true, but it can get a bit annoying that some people just assume everybody is like that. I hardly get a long with people my age. But I don't go and say that all teenage girls are mindless hormone monsters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caff Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Oh, and another thing. Being a teenager, a female, a new fan, whatever, does not mean a) you like twilight b) you dont like the old stuff and b sides. Stereotyping because of these features is really stupid. Twas ever thus because you happen to be the owner of a vagina. I was 15 when I posted on my first Muse messageboard (the red one people mention on here sometimes) and I don't think a week went by where I wasn't accused of being there just because "Matt is soooo fit" - I mean so what, I did kinda like him in that way at the time, but we all make mistakes The funny thing is, if those people had actually spoken to me they would've discovered I HEARD Muse before I SAW them. So Matt wasn't a factor in my deciding to post on their board. And it's not just Muse that has this problem. If you're a female music fan and the band you like has a man or men in it that happen to be attractive then there's always a small fanboy element that will assume you can't possibly have a brain in your head and like the music. This accusation increases when a band becomes more popular and the fanbase seems to acquire more women. It's one of those double standards that has always annoyed me cos in my experience it's been perfectly ok for dudes to make comments about the appearance of a female musician. EDIT: Also I think Guiding Light is complete gash but I don't recall saying anyone who likes it isn't a "true" fan. There's another stereotype that's annoying guys. Just cos people don't like a certain song doesn't mean they're all saying that shit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davinq Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 I don't think these threads should have been merged. One was about the band and the music, the other, newer one was more about the condition of the messageboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tesseract Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Uprising is one of the best tracks on TR. Edit: Sad to see that other thread got merged with this one, seeing as how they were two completely different topics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trilateral_Symmetry_Com'n. Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 I'd be happy if Muse chucked some of the riffs they've played the most in recent years and used more of their own material, like "Execution Commentary". Only I'm not satisfied with the "EC" riffing they've done in the past; they should revisit the breakdown section and use that part especially; it's really heavy and it'd be a great substitute for the "Maggie's Farm" riff and maybe the "Headup" riff. See : :50 - 1:12 for the first breakdown and 1:34 - 2:13 for the second. (Not that the original faster riffage isn't great too; it is, but I think the breakdowns would better suit what they've been doing for outro solos generally.) Question: do they have to pay other artists royalties for the in-concert riffage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: Sad to see that other thread got merged with this one, seeing as how they were two completely different topics. Agreed on both counts. And I don't think they have to pay royalties, it's not like they're claiming the riff as their own....though I wouldn't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tofu Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Argh, I got so confused because I opened this page before the merge expecting to see... the other thing we were talking about, and then was like, "Since when was this so long?" And then I left it and was like, "What is the Controversial thread doing in OMT?" ...argh. I don't know what's going on anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't that much different but people didn't get quite so defensive if someone didn't like a Muse track though you still did get that. Also I feel it was more elitist back in those days cos you had people posting who had seen them in some small pub in Devon in 1996 so being a teenage girl (as I was at the time) you were totally screwed in terms of being given a fair hearing by such people. Also it was easier to meet the band and there was the video shoot for FG/Hypermusic so there was a small section of the board who suddenly acted like bezzie mates of the band and also one girl who hated any other girl who expressed an interest in Matt cos she'd pretty much called dibs on him. In other words, it could be just as ridiculous as now...just for slightly different reasons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
