The Monday Sing-A-Long

The guitars are decent on those tunes Tash but I genuinely think that the roaring/screaming/****ing *****lian throat chant ****e ruins them...That's why I like SOAD, genuinely quality singer!

 

Singer's!! Serj and Darren have class voices!!

 

Born to be in a band with a name like Serj. Could have spelt it as Serge but not quite rock and roll.

We tried yo get the rhythm guitarist to change his name from Chris to Kris on the CDs... He thought his mum would disapprove.

 

He couldn't do anything else really!

 

They have done some amazing ones! Natalie Portman's rap, Jizz in my Pants and I'm the Boss are the best ones though!

 

He should've spelled it "Surge"....

 

I was in a band with a lad who is known as Slim (he isn't) Square (his head is) Macca (McManners) and Me (Martin) about as rock n roll as a limp asparagus spear!

 

Aye, they've done some belters like!

Have you seen the Charlie Sheen song made out of his interview? Pure class!!

 

I have to watch that when i get home! Charlie Sheen is a ****ing legend!

 

You WILL NOT be disappointed

 

That's a very apt name for you Tash. I'm assuming you're in the band?

 

lol, nah i think this band is ******ed. I actually like Cannibal Corpse because there's some thought that goes into most of their music.

AC's (not Andy Carroll's) music is just ******ed.

 

Tash, I've just been on youtube there looking at a lot of metal music...You always say metal is original and you like the originality of metal music...I'm struggling to find anything original about a lot of the stuff I've just listened to...

It's VERY formulaic and does nothing to subvert a) perceptions of metal, b) stereotypes of the genre:

Fast, finger tapping riff.
Long, technically difficult solo.
Double-Pedal based drum riff (with solos that are basically just see how many drums I can hit as quickly as possible).
Lyrics based around death, plagues, murder and revenge
Band name based around similar ideals.

I'm not saying the lads aren't talented, but they aren't (in my opinion anyway) in any way original! I'd be happy to eat my words should you find me a decent example though!

 

I never said ALL metal is original. I was talking the other day about Asking Alexandria, who are metal but suck balls.

I went over board when i said i wanted everything to be 100% original, and i never implied that a band can't be inspired. Infact, it's impossible to find a band that has exactly it's own style that hasn't been inspired by anyone else and is different to every other style of music.

I just get pissed off when i see a band or an artist, who write music with recycled riffs that are extremely similar to riffs that have been made 100 times before, and see that they are much more popular than bands than bands who put extreme effort into ther music and create masterpieces.

Like the Jonas Brothers are now one of the most popular "rock" bands in the world. Their stuff is ****ing bullshit, the instrumental aspect of their music is extremely mudane, and their only famous because they make music that's uncomplicated or "radio friendly". Plus they make little girls giney's tickle. (South Park reference)

The only thing JB's fans can say in response is "0mg J0nas br0th3rs r s0 talent3d, they are so h0t and you are just jelous that they are popular, and they are popular because the1r mus1c is awes0m <3 x"

I don't hate music that's popular, i hate music that's made TO BE popular.

Anyway, i don't want to get into this arguement again.

 

Oh god no, not this again!

Why did i post the Death Metal Rebecca Black! I'm sorry lads

 

lol

 

Fair enough, can't argue with any of that...I guess I'm just not much of a metal fan!

I find myself getting more and more annoyed with modern music, the 2 genres which seem to be getting absolutely raped by major record labels and airplay are dance/trance/electro and rap/hip-hop!

What the **** is J-Lo doing sampling perfectly legitimate Dance tunes, which are now completely ruined, whilst allowing undoubtedly the most commonly drawn face in police sex-offenders investigations, Pitbull, 'rap' (term used loosely) over the top of it!

Why have Black Eyed Peas gone from being a decent underground hiphop group to pumping out dirty dancing remixes with zero lyrical ambition?!?!

I personally blame **** music like that for my current binge drinking tendancies, only way I can bring myself to dance to it is if i'm so drunk I don't know what IT is!

 

Not funny
Just bloody great

The Blaydon Races
(Geordie Ridley)

I went to Blaydon Races
Twas on the ninth of June
Eighteen Hundred and Sixty Two
On a summer's afternoon
I took the bus from Balmbras
And she was heavy laden
Away we went along Collingwood Street
That's on the Road to Blaydon

Oh me lads, you should've seen us gannin
Passing the folks along the road
And all of them were starin'
All the lads and lasses there
They all had smilin' faces
Gannin along the Scotswood Road
To see the Blaydon Races

We flew past Armstrong's factory
And up by the Robin Adair
But gannin ower the Railway Bridge
The bus wheel flew off there
The lasses lost their crinolenes
And veils that hide their faces
I got two black eyes and a broken nose
In gannin to Blaydon Races

Oh me lads...

Now when we got the wheel back on
Away we went again
But them that had their noses broke
They went back ower hyem
Some went to the dispensary
And some to Doctor Gibbses
And some to the infirmary
To mend their broken ribses

Oh me lads...

We flew across the Tyne Bridge
And came to Blaydon Toon
The barman he was calling then
They called him Jackie Broon
I saw him talking to some chaps
And them he was persuadin'
To gan and see Geordie Ridley's show
At the Mechanics' Hall in Blaydon

Oh me lads...

Now when we got to Paradise
There were bonny games begun
There were four and twenty on the bus
And how we danced and sung
They called on me to sing a song
So I sang 'em 'Paddy ***an'
I danced a jig and I swung me twig
The day I went to Blaydon

Oh me lads...

The rain it poured down all the day
And made the ground quite muddy
Coffee Johnny had a white hat on
Shouted 'Wee stole the cuddy?'
There were spice stalls and monkey shows
And old wives selling ciders
And the chap on the ha'penny roundabout
Saying 'Any more lads for riders?'

Oh me lads... (to fade)
