UK/R.O.I GAF - Thread of geopolitical confusion

Lady-dude, Kerrang and Scuzz were shitty back in 2002 still :p it was all Soil and Disturbed and that one Slipknot video and Limp Bizkit lol.

I am actually really let down by the state of heavy music in the last ten years. My generation had a whole scene just for us. Yeah it was shitty but it was OURS. It seems all the kids listen to these days are handmedowns from a decade ago. Went to a rock club last year and was shocked and amused to see a bare-chested longhaired 18 year old thrashing about to Disturbed and mouthing all the words to Mad Davey Draiman's stupid rap. I was like "dude, get your own culture ffs..."

Where's the new shit? Where's this generation's Glassjaw or At the Drive In?

I like Disturbed, Slipknot and Limp Bizkit. I liked Kerrang and Scuzz in 2002. I'm really trying to get in to the new stuff but I can't even tell them apart, they just all sound the same - shit.

I'll just have to rely on older bands who have new albums out - most importantly Papa Roach new album beginning of next month squeeee!

When keepin it real goes wrong. Very, very wrong.
Everyone owns a pint glass they stole from the pub

Since were thief's should we have our hands cut off, or is the a fine line for theft ?

You should totes come down to Camberley then. The Ag is a cheesy timewarp of flat beer and nu metal. To be fair, I do have fun when I go, I just despair at the same time. Cognitive dissonance is fun.

EDIT: I never did like those 'choose your own music' channels though, the trouble is that people (as a collective group) are dumb, and so crowd sourcing a playlist will end up with the same shit over and over and over again. I like a good curated playlist by someone who believes in what they are playing (which is why I can't get behind the radio either). MTV2 circa 2000-2004 was golden.

I'm exactly the same on that - I enjoy going and having a laugh with mates, but I'm judging everyone else there for choosing to go to the AG of all places.

old-nu-metal GAF meetup?

Yeah, we should do this, it could be fun :D there is always room on my floor! We should sort something for the next couple of months once the flurry of meetups are over.

What you're saying is that you've either stolen a pint glass from a pub or you're a nobody.

Actually, yeah - that's pretty much true.

I am a nobody, I will live and die and not be remembered.

the jeyde, musha and mike threesome is inbound on jaydes floor. I'm calling it already.

1. I have a bed you know, this isn't scotland
2. it would be a foursome because my missus would likely call dibs
3. no

There is no such thing as a foursome. When there are more than 3 involved it turns an orgy/swingers party/Pounding session.

Awesome, metal-Gaf unite!

I may have a free weekend end of November

I won't be sleeping over, I live probably about 5-10 minutes away from Jedeye



Lol! I've never been described as metal before.

That's ok man, you can drive :p muhahahaha.

Where do you guys live anyway? Are you over Farnham way?

End of Nov sound pretty cool though, I'll see if we can get a group together for it. Safety in numbers and all of that!

Ah so your a shag & bag then bail sorta guy..

Anyway.

Metallica is the only good metal music.

Meh. Metallica is barely heavy. It's been downgraded in light of advanced in shredding technology to hard rock :p I need my metal to cause some kind of deep emotional trauma through its heaviness. You shouldn't be able to drive while listening to heavy music.

Drive? :( Can't we find a Junior Member to do that for us?

We're just over in Ash Vale - other side of the A331 from Aldershot.

End of November should be fine for me too.

Except he missed the obvious and brilliant alliteration of 'pounders party'.

Behave :p regardless of how bad St Anger is you can't describe them as not metal. Thrash is still metal, for example.

If you guys check out Devin Townsend, Accelerated Evolution and Addicted are both amazing albums. The song Kingdom is awesome too :D

It will be a train.

Jayde > mike > musha

The sex centipede. All complete with heavy metal blasting in the backround.

When you say you guys did you mean me as well? I live North East London.

You're scared to be alone with me aren't you.

Agreed, I like Metallica but they're barely what I would class as metal. I like my ears to bleed a little.

Can I interest any of you in a certain Mr Devin Townsend?

If Qasiel was here he'd be all over this, loves the guy. I think he's ok, I'm not a massive fan of prog but I like the Addicted album.

I meant Mike and his lady, I know you're from Laaaaahndon innit :p and I'm not scared of you at all. I am scared of what Chinner will say though!

RE Metallica - I think they're a bit like old horror movies. When it came out, Psycho was R rated and scandalous - these days it would barely be a PG. That's Metallica. I need to feel the pain as well. It's cathartic.

And where is Qasiel these days anyway, it's been ages since I remember him posting?

Death From above 1979 in the background, it's sexy music.

EDIT: I feel like I've crossed a very wrong line.

Oh man that is REALLY close, I had no idea. We need to get together for a beer one of these days!

Sounds good. Except I'll probably have a cider.
Just hit me up when you're free for it - I'm busy this weekend, what with the anniversary stuff going on (still driving me crazy that I don't know what it is she's taking me to!), but can probably make myself free most weekends after that.

If you get the chance to see him live, do it!! So ridiculously good!

I never got around to posting in the previous music discussion so I'll just leave some of my favourites here:

Band of Horses, Bon Iver, Silversun Pickups, Hammock, Sigur Rós, Ben Howard, Killswitch Engage, In Flames, Slow Dancing Society, Kyte.

Why am I the beta-male in your perverted wankbank? :( If I have to be involved in this sextipede, then I want tops.
EDIT: Hang on, I've just come to my senses and I'm out the door. These guys seem like sex might involve sacrificing a goat and listening to Napalm Death or something. And I'm so not-metal that I had to google "heaviest metal bands" to come up with Napalm Death.

You guys are going to eat me alive with your metals and such. For me, Metallica is plenty heavy enough. Weren't we happily talking about Belle and Sebastian just now?

Jaydes beard and mikes back hair will create enough static during the centipede to make sparks fly.

Dunno, he's in Cornwall at the mo but before that who knows. Maybe he had enough of Gaf and decided to get a life and go outside.

You get points for Killswitch and In Flames.

Ohhhhhh nostalgia.
Can we somehow make the Rayman Origins team make a new Chuck Rock?

Rough with the smooth :D

I love Converge, they are like weaponised sound. It's the sound of fire, it's beautiful.

....oooh, Get Up Kids covering Close to Me. Love the iPod on random!

It's generally the vocals that I don't like in heavy metal. That and all the fucking cheesy guitar harmonics. Yeah, I get it - harmonics. Clever.


Guys play some pink floyd and reword your poor fucking ears ;)

A fine choice, but I'm going back to Tegan & Sara for the day.
