Oh, sodomy. Always the group activity!
Anyways, I have two ideas for this. First, Derketa is playing a show on Thursday before the MDF show that day at a bar very near the fest location - we could meet there. Alternatively, Friday the fest doesn't start until 3 PM. Hesher brunch?
I'm game for everything incl. the ass play (what is a Derketa?)
But yes, lunch/drinks, sounds good.

Excellent idea. Just try to have it not end in reckless sodomy like last time...

I don't know anyone, but did you also try posting on the MDF forums to try to sell it? That place is always a good bet.

You're in the wrong neck of the woods thar, mister.
This is Ozzfest-sounding metalcore. No thank you.

I believe this is one of the hardest questions that anyone - ever - has to ask themselves.
Happiness is fleeting. I seek contentment in my life. At this point, I'm nearing some of my major life goals, so it's looking up. I would say that I could use improvement in some areas (getting back to working out - squats, deadlifts, presses - are what I need to start again), but overall I like me. I don't think anyone can ever stop improving themselves, so I don't believe anyone is EVER truly happy with themselves in the fullest, but that doesn't stop me from appreciating where I am now.
You're your own worst critic. Don't be too hard on yourself.

Maha, Saif, hope to see you gents there.
I'll be staying at the Sleep Inn, which is right next to the Holiday Inn Express - across from the former Sonar compound. I'll be there all 4 days.
Should we organize some sort of meeting of forum members here? Maybe get some beers or a meal together.

David Bowie (if you like pop music he's one of the better options) and Kraftwerk both did.
As for metal, I know Queensryche and Fates Warning cite them. Both had good material early on in their careers.
I'm unsure of any death metal bands that are influenced by PF, but I know Enslaved was.

« on: May 09, 2013, 03:38:05 PM »Most importantly, the Pink Floyd band isn't clearly a part of the genealogy of metal.
Do you think so? I'm sure a lot of the more 'proggy' type metal bands took direct or indirect influence from them.
I'd call them an inspiration - definitely not metal - but part of metal's overall lexicon. What would your argument be against that?

I once got stung on the side of my face, less than 1 inch from my eye by a big, red wasp. Man, that hurt - intensely. I was maybe 8-9 at the time, which just exacerbated the whole experience to a more miserable level.
I've hated the bastards ever since. But I avoid them - and only kill them when they directly threaten my household.
I recognize that painting, where is it from? A book?

"Selling England By The Pound" is one of the coolest, most adventurous prog records, ever. 'Firth of Fifth' is practically a mini symphony. Everyone who doesn't know this shit - CHECK IT OUT.

I could never get into anything this band did.
Much respect for the old stuff though, it's some weird shit - can totally see how some metal bands took influence from it.

I'm up for demeaning those trust fund crusties.
What are there 5 of them in the whole country? Resentful pauper much?
The concept of a rich man going incognito and interacting with the lowest tiers of society is a very common literary trope.
If you're seriously going to suggest that these kids are doing something worthwhile with their time, you're misguided. I'm not poor, I grew up pretty well off, and I'm thankful for that. There's a lot more than 5, I've seen plenty of them.
They have the audacity to peddle for change while texting on their iPhone. Fuck 'em.
I don't think making money should be the prime goal just because I'm an American. When I've reached my limit of earning, I'd spend it in wiser and less selfish ways than impersonating a hobo.
Are you going to go, or what?

Such unfortunate news. He's part of the reason I picked up a guitar in the first place.
Hails and respect to him.
