OT Thread XI: Where's the Beef

[Clowes Line]

Bob Richards and the club scene have never known to be on speaking terms.

The funny thing is, I HATE raves and clubbing. HATE it. Way too loud, way too sweaty, and way too much drugs/alcohol going on. I love going to a bar, but I hate the club/rave scene, yet I love the music.

 

[Tawnos]

Oh definitely, I really really dislike Nirvana. Love Floyd and Slayer though! my favorite band is definitely Testament though. They're so awesome. I really can't do much more than single out maybe 2 or 3 songs that are subpar. Their new album is incredible too.

Except that Chuck has totally lost it on the lyric writing front. "Pure American Hate"?? Really Chuck? Really??

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

How the hell did I miss that Souls of Black was re-recorded for Rockband? God, I wish they would just go through an remix/remaster that whole album and Practice What You Preach the way Megadeth did for their whole catalog.

I love the re-recorded/re-mastered version. Practice What You Preach is so good. If they remastered that whole album, I'd probably be in amazement. Down For Life is another favorite by Testament.

Well yeah his lyrical..ness has fallen. But the music is still stellar. I feel like Testament is severely/was severely underrated.

 

[Tawnos]

Wren...

I actually really like Wren for when I'm trying to focus on doing work.

 

[*Bob Richards*]

Bob Richards likes to wear nice clothes. He likes to dance. He likes shiny lights, He even is okay with dance music and he likes girls.

Mix them all together and Bob Richards is not a happy camper.

OK, so this is the first night I've ever been really active in here. So ****ing hard to keep up

I'm totally the same CCP. Never been a club guy. Pretentious statement of the night: I like the music for the music's sake. Not for the scene that comes with it.

Very underrated. I spent an entire summer after my junior year of high school in the car visiting colleges and listening to Low and nothing else.

Didn't expect to find another Wren fan on here. They're practically the definition of underground. Nostalgia is one of my favorite albums. I'll post another one from Soup.

I think I'm you, just younger. I live at home cause UB is 30 minutes away, but during my orientation week (had to be in dorms.), I had my ihome and during our down time, I'd have either Fabulous Disaster from Exodus on, or The Gathering/The Legacy on my Testament.

C'mon. The Shakes? Awesome, awesome song.

Stiff is my favorite song of all time. Hands down. Wrote a paper on it my junior year.

 

[Kakko]

All my music is to mainstream.

I guess I listened to Mumford and Sons before Babel was #1 on iTunes

I know exactly what you mean. Well, except for the talking in the third person...

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

Machine Head is a beastly band.

Nothing wrong with some Mumford and Sons. Or maybe that's just because I lived in Nashville for 2 years and couldn't avoid them. At all. Them or The Avett Brothers.

 

[Tawnos]

Machine Head is a beastly band.

Loved Machine Head for what they were originally. Before everyone thought they were beastly. When everyone thought Machine Head was just rap metal because Kerry King said so. AKA before Through the Ashes of Empires. It's all about the Blood, the Sweat, the Tears.

I still love them for what they've become too. Rob Flynn is just incredible.

I saw them for the first time in 2011 and was blown away. Flynn is a master.

 

[Tawnos]

Their live show has always been amazing. He knows how to work the crowd so well. I saw them about a half dozen times in the early 00s. Never disappointed.

They play with so much energy and the crowd was crazy. I had floor seats right up against center stage. It was surreal.

I've always wondered how Bob Richards could talk in 2nd person.

 

[Jabroni]

Try this:
and this:

Edit: Tawnos, I was in a metal band as a rhythm guitarist for a few months before I started my semester in the summer. I loved it. The band that put me into metalhead category was probably Testament. I saw them in concert when I was really young, and Over the Wall was amazing. I've been hooked ever since.

I can dig it.

It's too confusing.

Someone like you would have your work cut out for you to figure out how you could talk in the 2nd person.

(Only one of those "you"s is actually referring to Bob Richards.)

Queensryche needs to get the Operation:Mindcrime album to Rock band.

Actually am in agreeance, although I hate those games cause I suck at 'em!

 

[Tawnos]

I absolutely sucked at Guitar Hero at first... until I stopped trying to play it like a guitar. It got a lot easier after that.

Speaking of which... GW, what gear do you have?
