System of A Down and that Tanktop Bloke...

[Dubversion]

Well, this is the good sort of clever.

Jeez, you have some weird bugbears.

just hate fretwanking and twiddling. It's toss. Chop Suey is arguably the most appalling piece of music ever. After Imagine.

Good clever music will still sound simple and effortless. Bad clever music is just a torrid tuneless self indulgent muso wank in.

 

[kained&able]

when do system of a down ever fret wank?

[ouchmonkey]

No more than they would do you, Dub.

a fan I take it?

sorry I had to come back and read that post again because it made me laugh so much the first time.

just six words and yet it conveys so much po-faced self importance and teenage petulance.

you're a genius

that'll be why l&L is on ignore. he'll stumble onto any thread possible to make some quite remarkably lame 'dig', regardless of the subject of that thread.

Pitiful cunt, really

SOAD never fret wank!

They are incredible live, were on before Metallica at Leeds Festival a couple of years ago and totally outshined them.

I never listen to them anymore, might play a bit of Toxicity tonight!

well there's a recommendation for you

The guitarist's persistent mugging at the camera in videos. Krazy.

It sounds like an 'edgy' eurovision entry.

i remember the first time I heard it (at the Silent Disco at Electric Picnic, bizarrely). I actually pissed myself laughing - not WITH them, naturally.

 

[ViolentPanda]

This thread isn't as good as pk's "SOAD are shite" thread.

 

[DotCommunist]

No, that they take themselves too seriously and are essentially a bit silly.

Heavy Metal is like wrestling ennit. You're not supposed to take it seriously

 

[g force]

BYOB is one of the best comedy (albeit unintentional) songs. Ever.

 

[skyscraper101]

Can't stand them. Just reminds me of all the crazee student fanboys of SOAD at Uni going on about how cool and edgy they were.

 

[pogofish]

SOAD never fret wank!

I worked with a big fan of theirs for a while & she had all the live recordings to deeve me with. They fretwank big-time! To the point where they even surpass many of the "classic" prog bands.

 

[LDR]

Do People Really Take System of A Down and that Tanktop Bloke seriously?

Probably more than do Chumbawamba.

Face it, you're no longer down with the kids.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!

Serves you right. I'd rather listen to SOAD fretwank than anything by TD

I like them, probably the only band I have all the albums of.

Fine, shall I load-up the Yes or ELP than, SOAD are a lot closer to them IMO.

What is ELP?? Or did you mean ELO? I'd rather scrape my wrists til I bleed to death.

 

[pogofish]

Emerson Lake & Palmer. A n hour or two of them would probably have you begging for ELO!

SOAD even have stage preferences that reek of ELP BTW.

I truly doubt it. You have no idea how much I detest ELO.

 

[bluestreak]

I'm not sure a thread that criticises a band for taking themselves seriously AND also for not taking themselves seriously can entirely be full of win.

 

[pogofish]

You might have to make a bit of extra space then. Even I can only stand a small amount of their output, in small doses.

Go read that poetry again.

 

[bluestreak]

I'd rather not. I make it a rule never to read poetry by people who are also moderately successful singers, after buying one of Henry Rollins' poetry books.

Any thread where Kained defends the band in question by default hands victory to the h8terz.

This is Urban law.

 

[tarannau]

That is a cast iron Urban law. Sorry Blue.

I was reflecting on its inherent truth only earlier today, when our Kained slated Desmonds as entirely unfunny because after a few episodes the novelty of the accents wore off.

A good barometer of good judgement is our Dave

 

[futha]

i liked em when i was about 15. i dont anymore. dont mind it every now and again. as for taking them seriously. no never.

There are always exceptions to the law. Goes off to slap Dave(a lot)
