i think i accidentally Hexenjagd in another thread, but just changed that... didn't realize you were trying to stay anonymous.

Why did Killsally change his name?

I made fun of professional wrestling and called its fans juvenile and he refuted my argument by deleting his account claiming the place had disintegrated into Junior High and then came back a few days later.

I don't like the new name it sounds like some Norweigan Death Metal band name or something.

Hexen was a weird occult Doom knockoff circa 1996. Idk how I know that honestly.

Yes, you made a comment about wrestling fans.

No, that wasn't the reason I quit this place. 

I quit because I was slowly phasing forums out of my life, one at at time, over the last few years (at one point I posted on seven different music forums).  Mainly this was due to the fact that I can just get everything I need in regards to music and socializing online, on Facebook (I am easy to find on there if anyone wants to send a friend request).  This is the same reason I don't use MySpace anymore, or chat rooms, or buy music magazines. 

It was done after you made your comment, but that was not the reason.  Do you really think I would quit this site that I was a part of for over six years because of some comment you made?

The reason I am back is because I like a lot of the people here and realized it is the easiest way to communicate with them. 

As for the name, it is just another name I use for a music project of mine, and for the mixes I make for my label/blog, Dragged to Hell.

First, Facebook is dying.  And second everyone tries to be pleasant to each other on Facebook.  Third, you have to wade through mindless sports posts, baby photos, and people's daily mundane live posts.

I mostly follow posts from a few close friends and use the site to keep up with bands.  When something better comes along, I will change it.

this looks like a money-grab to me.  i fear it's going to be digital (so none of the analog quirkiness that made the 303 and 808 famous) and based on samples (which you can get elsewhere).  the interface might be a change-up from what you currently use but seems to me you can do better with a customizable interface with assignable pads, sliders, etc - rather than being locked into the layout of this device which will have limited functionality.

Was anybody as excited when Eddie fronted DKs?

Sounds like it's digital. If price and quality is as rumored, it'll do well.

I plan on trying before I buy... But this definitely would be a nice addition to my setup (i am running a NI Maschine into a laptop for drums, hard synths for bass/some leads, and guitars and pedals)... It would be nice to cut the tether to the laptop... (I use a lot of 808 samples in my beats).

Is there a pop musician with more success and less impact on culture than Billy Joel?
