Clique claims another victim.
Stick around. Some have been welcoming, some haven't. Such is life.
Welcome to BritGAF. I wouldn't say you're a youngling... maybe. A year and a bit younger than me but a fair few people here are. I actually wonder what the average age of BritGAF members is. At the bolded I say good man. I'm a bit of a Muse nut myself.

Like I said to you yesterday, try to see it from our perspective.
You're more than welcome here, however if you don't feel comfortable then you only have yourself to blame.
Just be yourself.

I'm really sorry to hear this.
We're usually much more welcoming.

Thanks. And that's good.
Yess. They are literally one of the best dunkin' biscuits. And these mofos are the gooey goodness. Bit expensive though:
Heh. Well I work with people who are mostly 35 upwards, so I certainly feel young. And yeah they're fantastic. Went to see them at the O2 once, mind blowing experience.

I could have worded that better couldn't I?
I'm sorry to hear this news now every band you see live after does not compare.
I been fan muse for 12+years and it really is unfair to compare other bands to them after seeing them live.

Haha, that is a great expression. I have no idea what is going on.
This is really true. Like far too much. I've been to a couple of concerts more recently and it's just like. Gawd. Where are the cool light shows. They had a cool pyramid of screens for 2nd Law tour which went up and down over each other, must have cost them a hell of a lot to do, but it's nice they put so much effort into it.
Wasted enough of my afternoon. Time to play Infamous!2, not SS, am cry

Wait, who exactly has insulted you?
And yes, your identity may have been called into question, but only due to your posts. In fact your objectification of women has made other members in here feel uncomfortable.
Positive contribution in this thread is always welcomed and encouraged. Some of us have a tendency to joke around with each other, which may come across as being mean but is never intended as such, and if you have taken offence to anything anyone has said then that's a shame. We don't know you, so nothing is meant to be taken personally.
Why don't we start over, clean slate, and see if we can all just get along yes?
Edit: also welcome cynostic!
They are great live. Saw them when they did the Teignmouth gigs back in 2009. So good.

So noisy and discordant, love it. Matt wasn't singing like a cut-price opera singer back in those days either.
Edit: also a belated welcome to cynostic.

My fucking man!
This movie will be the nuts, I can't wait. The reviews are crazy positive.
Short requested ban RE: shenanigans. She got in touch with me to say it won't be long.
Don't worry Steven, MancGAF isn't disbanding. In fact, booking train tickets tonight for another mini-meet/hopefully job interviews for late May.
Aww.
Yiss.
Boyee!

Steeeeeve come to Newcastllllllllle next weeeeeeeek I want to meeeeeeeeeeet you!
The first one was an incredible action movie. The second one looks to be incredible as well. Going to be so good.
Well you see my dear Scream, it all started with the likes of Pretty Hate Machine. This is one of my favorite performances of that era. Then you get along a few years and Trent blew the minds of everyone at Woodstock 94. Understandable if you don't have the time or patience to watch the entire thing, but it's absolutely incredible.
There's some funky amazing stuff like Into The Void .
Then you have some amazing production in recent years. Ghosts I-IV is a great album for ambient tunes. Check 34 as an example. That one starts as though it's a Portishead song. Fantastic. Speaking of ambient, Leaving Hope absolutely kills me from Still. I've said it somewhere before, maybe just talking to friends about NIN, but I know Trent likes to play In This Twilight to end gigs, and will probably opt for it to end his final concert ever. But I think Leaving Hope would be so incredibly emotional and bring me to tears. If he was left alone on the piano as everyone else leaves and then there's nothing.
Sorry a bit of a tirade there.
There's other extremely powerful tracks like And All That Could Have Been
As people have said listen to The Downward Spiral. A song from that that doesn't get mentioned nearly enough is A Warm Place.
Enjoy. Definitely one of, if not my favorite, musicians out there. I said producers initially but then remembered Aphex Twin.
Wholeheartedly agree Jed. In high school we had a class where each day a different student would bring in a song and we would project the lyrics and listen to it. I chose 1979.
No shit I didn't know! We gotta peep that man! Haha fair dues on Never Let Down. I just wanted to give I Get Wet it's dues as the best.Aww yes! Can't get enough of Andrew WK. Never cared much for his music until I went to a live show of his and holy shit! I partied hard that night. Did you know he owns a nightclub in NYC Acrid? Curious to see what it's like.
Also, Andrew WK Piano intro songs and no mention of Never Let Down? tsk tsk
edit: Catching up on the thread more. Stormtrooper should feel welcome to post however they want if they aren't aggressive to anyone which they haven't been. I think people are just wary especially with the Sats situation that happened not that long ago.
Another thing, I was incredibly excited for Prometheus. It was not a good film. Sorely disappointed. Still have hopes of The Forever War which Ridley Scott is supposedly making.

We should have listened to Meadows
They played Origin of Symmetry when I saw them, and it's definitely their best album. Almost average.
now this here is a good song

Speaking of charming and slightly sad nostagia-tinged music, I've been loving Bibio. 2nd best album of last year.
I blame the regional dialects.
