Chasm / Re: Karma.

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?

That's what happens when you think you know it all, and you think you're invincible.

Life's funny isn't it?

"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?

Metal / Re: Jeff Hanneman Dead at 49

Such unfortunate news. He's part of the reason I picked up a guitar in the first place.

Hails and respect to him.

Metal / Re: Group project: what is metalcore?

« on: May 02, 2013, 08:16:58 PM »

The Haunted are pretty metalcore - definitely NOT death metal. I would say Meshuggah relies more on speed metal mixed with jazz technique, not much influence from hardcore other than the vocals. As for Fugazi, I was confused with that inclusion until Brett explained his meaning behind it (in the comments). I get it, though I wouldn't really say that myself. Band's pretty good for that kind of music, though.

Anyway, here's a few bands that fit nicely under the category of metalcore without much confusion.

Rorschach - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dyprzmd3rVw (found the whole album)

Today Is The Day - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WptignJ_qs

Burnt By The Sun (not as good as the above two, but this particular album still gets listens from me) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9dAjKUnB68

Discordance Axis (I think they're much more grind than metalcore, but I digress) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mINKK1Hpm3c (whole album)

This is what started out as metalcore; however at the time (and before) even stuff like D.R.I.'s speed metal albums, Leeway, Cro-Mags, etc was getting called that though. The genre has really tenuous and different roots, but Rorschach and Integrity are considered by many the archetypes of it.

Do you imagine it is a worthwhile consideration to give a toss about the unwanted feeling unwanted?
I mean, the very nature of unwantedness is being unworthy of consideration.
My own experience of being unwanted resulted in a healthy apartness from those not wanting me.
I didn't care about them, and they didn't care about me: we all just got on with our lives.

Understood, however this is personal experience. I've no doubt that what you say definitely applies, but what happens if the 'unwanted' decide they want to stay where they are? If you don't want them there, but they want to be there, what happens then?

Most humans have a subliminal longing to be a part of a group; we are social creatures. Whether introvert or extrovert, people like to be with people like them, generally. When other groups treat them as unworthy, it could be perceived as threatening. On a "get-people-who-don't-belong-here-out-of-my-country" level, this could spell disaster.

Just have to make sure you avoid bad blood, is all. Nothing wrong with being unwanted, but communicate that it isn't anything personal.

There's a world of difference between declining to extend rights to an 'unwanted' group, over and above those of the ones extending them, and genocide.

Yes, I agree. Still, declining rights to a group leads to resentment, which leads to conflict, which leads to....etc etc etc.

I'm in agreement with trystero, he summed it up nicely. If you're going to do it, make sure you're tactful and organized. Most people don't respond well to being not wanted.

wonder why you think...persecuting unwanted groups are a negative.

Because that's a very, very slippery slope. I don't need to remind you that 'unwanted' can lead to genocide.

Metal / Re: There's a new Black Sabbath song

« on: April 25, 2013, 06:53:21 PM »

It's not that bad. As Cynical stated, it's dull; I think it's because it just repeats itself too much.

A lot better than I would've thought. Riffs are pretty cool towards the end, Ozzy doesn't sound like complete crap, the drum patterns are interesting...hopefully the rest of the album will aspire towards more complex structures.

Nice one, Humanicide. Who'da thought it? The pipes were even in-tune.
If that's deathmetal, maybe it's not so across-the-board awful.

It's a cool intro, yeah. I really do enjoy the sound of the bagpipes (when they're played properly).

The rest of the album is not like that.....at all, haha.

Back to the thread topic - spread the article around like a motherfucker. It's a pretty good summation of some of this site's views in a concise and friendly package.
