I just got a call from the front desk at the hotel asking me to turn my music down. They are getting multiple complaints!![]()
It is definitely not what it was before the accident.
I hired an attorney.
To focus more on happy things. I am going to see my South African trainee who is no longer a trainee. He is an amazing nurse who runs a dialysis clinic alone and a health department for people with no insurance. I am so proud of him!
I am going to stay a night with him and his gorgeous wife and two beautiful girls. And probably sing karaoke and watch stand up comedy after the girls go to sleep. Then we are hitting Rainbow River for Kayaking. Then Im meeting my kids at Universal and spending an entire week there. It’s our favorite place on earth!
Im so happy!![]()
Very cool indeed!zazthespaz wrote: ↑Sat May 27, 2023 11:03 am Found this poster online - really cool layout in my opinion, wouldn't mind something like it for myself, but cannot find AB even though there are some bands they've toured with on it. Can anyone else find them? I'd expect them to be in the lower left somewhere.

Bottom left seems about right, with acts like Trivium there.
I'd expect Creed to be on there at least, as they're cultural icons, I've been told.
This makes me curious. What bands do people on here either hate or think are overrated? I'll start.

New genres that I don't really care for.
I used to like Muse a lot, but I can't stand them now because they remind me of all the mess that was my sophomore year of high school.
Because there's very little about them that's rock, unlike Nickelback.
Yeah, but they're jerks for what they're doing to Mick Mars right now. And I'm very skeptical of how much they're actually playing live.
Valid, but I don't understand at all why people think they're the next Metallica. Their styles don't match almost at all.
Their singer Ronnie Radke is a mega jerk. That's why the band has gone through so many lineup changes. They've cancelled shows over petty reasons. They're proud of the fact that they use backing tracks at their shows, which they shouldn't be doing anyway. The backing tracks are playing electronic samples that can't be reproduced live, but those things don't belong in rock music in the first place. Their latest single is basically a rap song until the last minute or so.

Never heard that. People often call Avenged Sevenfold the next Metalica because putting labels like that on artists is fun.Valid, but I don't understand at all why people think they're the next Metallica. Their styles don't match almost at all.
That's why I said overrated AND/OR hate. Falling In Reverse isn't overrated, I just hate them because they (well, Ronnie mostly) are making themselves look like idiots. Same with Motley Crue.Dolo wrote: ↑Tue May 30, 2023 2:37 pm Half of what you said has to do with your personal experiences and the mentality of the people within those bands when the overratedness comes down to how much the public hypes up the artist based on the music itself.
Falling in Reverse using backing tracks is a topic for a completely different discussion and barely a sign of them being overrated I reckon.

Black Stone Cherry comes to mind - as dull as dishwater.
I personally don't understand Tool. Some of it is good. The Pot is a fantastic song, but most of it to me just sounds plodding and repetitive. I even saw them live and it did nothing for me.
I haven't heard any of their original material, but I have heard their cover of Give Me One Reason by Tracy Chapman, and I thought it was decent.

I have to agree with you. The only full song I've heard is Schism, which I thought was boring. I heard a snippet of isolated vocals of The Pot in a mashup, and I thought Maynard's voice was annoying. Just the fact that a lot of their songs are so long (all but one song from the most recent album are over 10 minutes) makes me not want to get into them. I'm not usually one for really long, proggy stuff.

I like proggy stuff but it has to take me on a journey to keep me there. They're all immensely talented guys but they tend to ride a vibe for an entire song, which just drags a bit for me. I don't think they're rubbish, I just don't personally like it.maximzub wrote: ↑Thu Jun 01, 2023 10:28 amI have to agree with you. The only full song I've heard is Schism, which I thought was boring.

Yep. I agree with you.

That's my fault. I've been really busy since last week. If I was around more, I'd probably be posting multiple times a day in the AB section of the forum.zazthespaz wrote: ↑Thu Jun 01, 2023 2:18 pm zaz makes a rare appearance in the AB-related forum and it dies for over a week. thanks guys![]()

I highly recommend familiarizing yourself with what you're gonna comment on, before you comment on it. If you've heard one song from an artist that has released 5 studio albums or if you've heard one cover song from another artist that has 8 studio albums of original material, why do you even bother judging their whole back catalogue just based on that? How does that contribute to the discussion?
