Post by: thatguy on February 26, 2003, 12:20:00 pm: some of y'all (particularly the multitudes that exist in rhett's head) really need to learn how to shut the fuck up sometimes. saying something negative about a band's music is one thing. not everyone likes the same thing, and intelligent discourse about musical differences is great. however, there really is no need for personal comments about people that you don't know anything about personally. and i'm not just talking about bands that i'm friends with, as in this thread or several others. i'm talking about any band, or public figure, or anyone you don't know. it's really not cool.negative energy always comes back. i wish i could be there to see it bite some of y'all in the ass.

Post by: Henry Dark on February 26, 2003, 12:55:00 pm: I call it having a sense of humor. If you can't take a little ribbing, you surely are a weak person. Would I mock them in person? No. But for crist sake, if they want to make themselves into public figures, they're going to have to be open to a bit of ribbing. I would think that any band that appears on the Leno show is good fodder for a bit of ribbing. It's not like I'm making fun of the crippled black guy that lives next door to me...I'm making fun of dorks who wear black eyeliner and listen to the Cure, for gosh sakes. <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Originally posted by thatguy: some of y'all (particularly the multitudes that exist in rhett's head) really need to learn how to shut the fuck up sometimes. saying something negative about a band's music is one thing. not everyone likes the same thing, and intelligent discourse about musical differences is great. however, there really is no need for personal comments about people that you don't know anything about personally. and i'm not just talking about bands that i'm friends with, as in this thread or several others. i'm talking about any band, or public figure, or anyone you don't know. it's really not cool.negative energy always comes back. i wish i could be there to see it bite some of y'all in the ass.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Post by: markie on February 26, 2003, 01:05:00 pm: I was thinking about this and came to the conclusion that its an internet chatboard and we should be able to say what we want and voice our opinions freely. I dont think anyone even said anything libelous.
Title: Re: new found glory and good charlotte at the patriot center
Post by: Henry Dark on February 26, 2003, 01:13:00 pm: For the record, I don't know anything about the band personally. I don't know anything about where the band is from. That's why it was a total joke. I guess there must be some truth to the punchline, otherwise it wouldn't have struck a nerve. Or perhaps I unknowingly repeated a stale joke that had grown old? People do that about me on this board occasionally. I only use the phrase "white trash" in the same way black people call themselves niggers...

Post by: paige on February 26, 2003, 03:35:00 pm: they really are nice guys. when they played here a lot more and they weren't swarmed by girls i had a nice conversation with them, and my friend is quite close with them. i'm not making fun of them as people just the whole poppunk thing in general... it just does not agree with me, i guess. who doesn't joke about the boys who wear a lot of eyeliner?

If anyone on here is in a band that gets signed to a major label, you would know you get swriled into music industry hell, where you are told what to do basically, and if your good morals and integrity bring you to NOT do what you are told, you are dropped, forgotten about, and your lifetime dream is pissed all over. or close to it. I was friends with a band from Massachusetts and they used to play any show they could. They were a blast, and now...they sell 2 million records and they traded all the fun and excitement of old, for money, pretty much.its an extreme situation, but GC worked hard to get where they were, even if its not what they imagined. that said, i have never liked one song they sung, (http://www.930.com/ubb/smile.gif)

Besides the clash and pistols were all lean mean speed taking machines. Skinny people look good in almost anything, thats why designers have skinny people model their clothes.

Post by: Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer on February 28, 2003, 10:31:00 am: I didn't write to book on fashion trends. But wasn't the whole idea of punk to look foolish and rebellious, to go against fashion? At the time it was fresh and new and rebellious. But now it just looks downright campy and silly. Like wearing bad 70's clothes. I look at pictures of The Clash and I think "Great band, but they sure did look foolish." I look at the Pistols and I think "Novelty act." I look at the Police and I think, "God I fucking hate Sting." If Good Charlotte had originated in 1978, I think they probably would have been emulating Genesis or Yes or Jethro Tull. Hell, if they had originated in the 80's they probably would have been emulating those bands, maybe sharing bills with Journey or REO Speedwagon. <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Originally posted by Shadrach: I didn't realize you wrote the book on fashion trends.

Post by: Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer on February 28, 2003, 10:40:00 am: I had always kind of wondered about the identity of someone self-important enough to call himself "Thatguy". Now the truth has been revealed: "Thatguy" is God Almighty (Budha?) (Allah?) himself. Dear God, sorry to disturb you, but let's review my case for the month of February. I did do some bad things. Probably the worst thing I did was make fun of rock stars on an internet chatboard. And yes, I did also fall off the wagon, consuming three beers and three glasses of wine during the month.. I also took your name in vain a couple of times too....those bad drivers really aren't a good excuse for besmirching your name like that. But I also did some good things. I called my mum weekly, and bought her plane tickets to come visit me. I gave my Metro seat to an elderly African-American woman. I put down the toilet seat after every use, even though I probably pee five times as much as my girlfriend. And finally, I gave my girlfriend the hot beef injection within 24 hours of every time she indicated a desire. So yes, God, I did some bad things AND some good things this month. I will try to be better next month. Well, I'll let you go know. Please work some sense into Saddam and Bush and Blair so that we might avert war.

Post by: BOOMERANG1313 on February 28, 2003, 07:42:00 pm: Yeah I totally agree with you thatguy. Too often people judge other people on their appearance. Many people argue that people that choose to have piercings and decide not to look like the average person have something wrong with them or lack attention. Maybe in some cases thats true, but for the most its not. Try going into an Abercrombie and Fitch, you see everyone nicely dressed and perfect, how do they treat you? Then go into a Hot Topic, or not your average "preppy" store, now how do they treat you? A hell of alot better than then the employees in AF. That tells alot, if you don't personally know the person, you shouldn't decide your opinion on their appearance.
Title: Re: new found glory and good charlotte at the patriot center
Post by: BOOMERANG1313 on February 28, 2003, 07:59:00 pm: Also, my last post goes with this one. You all say that GC & NFG are poseurs and aren't punk, that they dress trendy, and have gotten too big. Honestly, you can't judge someone on their appearance. How great would it be if music just existed and there weren't genres of music, so you could just listen to what appeals to you. Listen to music and decide whether its good or not, don't look at the artist or band and decide not to like them because of their appearance or choice of clothing. Who cares what they look like or wear? The only purpose of clothing is to cover your body, right? Also, bands can't decide how big they get, most of the time their labels decide where their music is sold, what the next single is, and even sometimes their appearance. Bands for the most part can't deny their labels decisions because then they could just drop them. Its very hard for bands to release a CD on their own, not saying they can't, but its very hard. So please, next time you hear a song, don't judge a band on their appearance, like the song for the song. P.S. I'm going to the show, bash all you want

Post by: BOOMERANG1313 on February 28, 2003, 08:42:00 pm: Yeah I totally agree with you, I wasn't saying that NFG and GC are punk at all. I'm just saying don't call them poseurs because you don't even know whether they are punk or not or what they are trying to be. Besides, punk isn't the way you dress and just because you listen to punk doesn't make you punk. Punk is a way you think and act, its a state of mind.

Plus Less Than Jake is opening, which in itself is motivation enough for me.But yeah. My lifelong dream is to beat the living hell out of Benjy from Good Charlotte, or at least give him a good slap in the face. "Stop talking about how fucking hardcore you are!" He really bothers me. Well, not THAT much, but I need a target for all my rage at everyone in the music world who annoys me, so I just focus my angst on him. *kick*But... sigh. I'll admit, I think their music is occasionally catchy, although quite frankly, most of it sounds the same. I just can't stand the way they prance around proclaiming their punk-rock-ness. Please. Clothes do NOT always make the man. And I do like New Found Glory (or at least, I OUGHT to by now after near-constant exposure to them thanks to a friend of mine) but that guy's voice really starts to grate on my nerves after about half an hour.Should be interesting.
