I see threads for bands' concerts like The Used and AFI

[Destroit]

There was a thread about the skinny puppy show posted on the baord about a month ago...so I dont see why your upset.

As far as other bands and what people like... Goth and real Industrial are dead to the world. The scene has evolved into something different. It sucks but oh well. I like the new stuff and the old stuff but what are ya gonna do.

Oh and last time I saw skinny puppy i was the youngset person I saw there, so you are probably correct that it will be a old crowd.

I know, it would be different if goth and real industrial EVOLVED but quite honestly it's DE-EVOLVED into dumb dance beats and "scary" lyrics. It's sad that we started out with great bands like Skinny Puppy and all that and now we're degraded down into dance beat mind-numbing gibberish like CombiChrist (just as an example, there's definately more than just them). Basically goth/industrial sold out just like punk. There is no "real" punk anymore, it's been dead for years, and has been replaced by watered down mainstream bullshit like Good Charlotte and Green Day.

Why is it that the masses, whom should just stick to shopping at The Gap, feel the need to come along every few years or so and destroy someone else's scene? They already have the fucking mainstream, wtf do they want?

Hence why I stopped going to CC, they CLEARLY don't support the scene, so why should I support them with my money? Even if they do try to cater to the scene somewhat (and for the record the last FIVE times I went they didn't play anything worthwhile, no matter how many times it was requested, it was all trancy ambient DEMF techno crap) they pretty much are trying to get all these tourists in the door. You go there now and see so much Abercrombie clad jocks...wtf is the point of going to an "alternative" club at that point? Which is why people have seen me pop into Dead-Line but not CC, I go in there and NEED to leave after about a half hour, which is a waste of my time and money I arrive, get angry that it turned into a preppy club or a club where preppy girls can dress up and play sexy-Halloween (i.e. their take on Goth/Rivethead lifestyles) and it makes me pissed, so I leave, and then being bukkaked in shitty music also doesn't help the cause.

/end rant Sorry, I know, I'm opinionated about goth/industrial and where it's headed (and imo it's not pretty), I'm not trying to offend anyone just stating my opinion which is backed up by a decent amount of fact.

BUT...to lighten up the mood:

YES!

*le sigh* Why wasn't I born in the late '60s so that I could have been around for when the scene was actually real?

What I think is weird about this In Solvent See tour, is that there is NO album yet. It's recorded, sitting there, they weren't sure if they were going to be able to release it OR go on tour because of the bankruptcy shit with their record label, but here we are they and they're touring...but still no album? Baffles meh.

Also, on a side note, it took me like 10 minutes to figure out that In Solvent See is a play on the word "Insolvency". I guess I'm a little slow sometimes...?

actually....and I am not hating, but it would be amazing for them to SKIP this albumn altogther.

Here is why: you'll all get an expeiriance unlike any other...a concert where you'll nto be able ot hear those songs unless it's LIVE.

think about that for a second....no-one will be able to buy the cd and say how much they love thier new stuff UNLESS they have been to a show live.

I think it's kinda interesting of an idea, in a way....to state that you don't NEED an albumn to go on tour.

[TygerLili]

I'm not much of a live music person at all, but I would actually like to go to this if Morbid and I can scrape together the $$$.

True, but there IS an album and it's done and sitting there. Maybe they are trying to get a bigger show pull by putting the tour first and then the album after? It is great marketing, I wouldn't put it past Ogre and cEvin because they are great minds.

100% awesome

[t1m3k1ll3r]

Yo Skinny Puppy fans, I’m really happy for you, I’ll let you finish, but AFI and the Used has one of the best shows of all time.

One of the best of ALL TIME!

*shrugs*

*hands the mic back*

*swigs hennessy*

[the eternal]

I will listen to:

Linkin Park

Really? You and Chernobyl?

Have I misjudged them that much?

Do I have to expand my numetal appreciation beyond Deftones' White Pony?

Can I still hate Korn and Slipknot and wussier bands like Papa Roach and Limp Bizkit and G-dsmack and Chevelle?

-------------

BTW, I was bukkaked in shitty music today.

Someone changed the radio station at work and I had to endure 96.3FM for nine hours. It was gre...it was awful!

AH HELL! Did you really have to mention Limp Bizkit? You could have left them out.

There is nothing wrong with Godsmack...they wrote Whiskey Hangover and I tend to live by that song sometimes...but I use vodka.

As far as LP goes...I have no idea what numetal includes because it seems that they just slap the term onto any new and hip rock band that comes out regardless of the fact that most of them have NOTHING to do with metal.

Yes, believe it or not there was a time in my life BEFORE I knew who Skinny Puppy was because I had the displeasure of being raised and forced to attend Fraser Public Schools, which is jock central. I actually discovered them through the one other goth kid in school, but that was early high school, and Korn/Manson/Deftones stuff got to me earlier seeing as I was 13 in 1998 when all that was going on. My favorite band was actually Orgy because I had never heard sounds like that before and well...it was five hot cyber dudes in a band called "Orgy" and may I re-iterate that I was 13?

Hey we all listened to stuff that wasn't as up to par when we were kids, we were kids. It's not even necessarily true that I liked all of it, but when I was 13 I was mistaken that people like Manson were King Goth, simply because I didn't know better. If you don't know there's anything better out there, you're probably going to listen to the mundane stuff.

There were a few songs off LPs first record that were okay, everything after has been total garbage. And I've NEVER liked Deftones really, that's the one band EVERYONE got into and it pissed me off . I dunno why, I think maybe I like one of their songs but at this point in time I can't even remember what it was called.

Can I still hate Korn and Slipknot and wussier bands like Papa Roach and Limp Bizkit and G-dsmack and Chevelle?

YES. I'll join you. Every band in that sentence is awful to my tastes.

I vote to add Staind to this shitty list also. I HATE STAIND SO MUCH I USED TO LOSE SLEEP OVER HATING THEM SO MUCH WHEN I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL! I shit you not, it's true. I would sit up and think "wow..is the world ending? How can EVERYONE like THIS shitty of a band? This guy is a fucking whiner who cries on stage and has no talent...what have we all COME to? I hate my friends..."

Can we make a Music Hall of Shame in the music forum?

I thought we had a 'songs your ashamed of' thread...

...but go ahead...'cause I don't know where it is...throw George Michal in there for me...solo, & 'WHAM!'...

Hmmm .... now that should cause some interesting fights/debate

Actually...I do remember that thread, so okay we're covered then. I was really kidding about the Music Hall of Shame deal because that would probably cause mass drama, which would be a no-no. That's why in my thread I put the after it (generally means I'm being facetious).

w00t Skinny Puppy! Back to that topic, I don't wanna threadjack my own thread left and right.

Any particular song anyone is counting on or wants to see played at the concert?

I'm wondering what their stage show is going to be like this time around.

Apop was 6 days ago. :(

and awesome.

if you're curious, I posted the setlist in the Apop thread.

I was working that day so I wouldn't of been able to make it anyways.. Booo though, I can't believe I missed it... Will most def have to check out your post of the set list.

Yeah, I was sad when I found out I missed it also. I found out maybe 3 days after the show.

And I'm skipping KMFDM on Oct. 2nd because I've already seen them once and while I like them as a band obviously their live show isn't really all TOO impressive.

[Tacohitts]

Staind is nothing but whiny music,overplayed commercial radio bs,and their remake of Tool's "Sober" really blows as well,could not believe that was ever even allowed.

I don't talk about music on these forums much anymore for good reasoning. Anyway, this post deserves an up because I <3 SP.
