Rolling Metal Thread 2010

None of this is because it was a "girl" who asked. This is complete bullshit and completely unworthy of every single one of you.

can we stop?

once they retract the bullshit this is because its a girl asked crap

Herman, you are an A+ dude, this "argument" is totally not worth your or anyone else's time

you know what you might do instead of getting all indignant for once is ask why you came off that way to La Lechera

just a thought, "is that how I seemed to you? fuck, don't wanna come off that way" infinitely better approach than "no way, I don't feel like that so if it looked like that to you you're wrong"

thanks and hope I haven't derailed things too much.

apropos of nothing except that I saw it, 4 months ago somebody linked to Phil's very slightly editorialized announcement of the Soundgarden reunion & the comments on the piece bring quality lol per minute

do i seriously have to explain this?

phil black hole sonned in msn beef

hey La L actually I would be appreciative if you did - I would like to know if I came off creepy to you & I can stand it if I did, it would be useful for me to know

man, skimming through those comments makes me wish we had comments on ILX

if you're forcing me to answer this question (skip to * if you don't want to read about this) guess it was the chivalry, the possible (maybe perceived on my part) dick waving about who can help becky best. who can truly give becky what she needs? who can give her the proper recommendations? it just seemed ridiculous. i've seen this happen irl and while it never really happens to me (i don't remember the last time i asked for help with anything because i've always been a do-my-own-research sort of music listener) it happens. and it really doesn't happen the same way when a guy is asking for recommendations. that's all.

no hard feelings btw -- i just want everyone to continue talking about metal.

* in fact, i would like to talk about festivals. if i can't make it to roadburn (too $$ to get to europe any time soon) and i don't want to metal cruise (no seasickness pls also cozumel blecch) what are some of my other options? what's nate's thing called again? would like to visit PNW.

note: you could always sb me if you feel that strongly

and it really doesn't happen the same way when a guy is asking for recommendations. that's all.

man, skimming through those comments makes me wish we had comments on ILX

we do, it's the "submit post" button

in re: festivals, I don't know, I would have gone to MDF if I didn't have to leave town for work, but pick through these:

Speaking as a UK poster, it's not unusual for women to be into metal. I mean some gigs I go to are nearly 50/50. Half the metalheads I know are women. Jumping to the worst possible conclusion out of myriad possibilities is a bit shitty. I've had exactly the same conversation with plenty of male people on this board. Acoleuthic being one...

"Who can give her what she needs?" That's a bit fucking low.

and you were suggesting i saw the slow one, doggie? ;-D

not about the actual poster apart from the mention that newbies will be put off by such attitudes, in my opinion.

ksh had the living fuck hazed out of him when he first got to this board & he's doing just fine as far as I can tell

truth bomb

see pretty much my first few months posting as kshighway

Bullshit. Not on these rolling metal threads that I've been posting on for years and certainly none that involve me.
I wasn't talking specifically about you -- it's the collateral damage of this happening irl as long as i can remember. Please accept my apologies if you thought I was calling you a cretin. None of you are jerks, I know that. I was just annoyed.

What I'm saying is that guys get the living fuck hazed out of them -- girls (sometimes) get treated like lambies.

Ok fuck you!

</crap attempt at joke>

What should we be talking about then?

</spits on floor in manly yet non-discriminatory fashion>

f u too bozo :)

Fair enough. No worries.
ksh got hazed because of his previous posting history though, same with LJ and ilxor. But it's not right to do it on somebody's more or less first post on this thread who doesn't have a certain kind of online backstory. And that applies to all sexes. I do not see what the problem is with being polite sometimes.

ksh got hazed because of his previous posting history though

what?

when i started posting as kshighway, no one had any idea that i had even posted here before, because i had only posted for a handful of months in 2007 under a different name, and no one paid much attention to me

you had been posting on ilm a while before posting on this thread, right? you were seen as being "pitchfork indie" iirc

for sure -- but i was never hazed on Rolling Metal, just everywhere else

haha

:-)

plus everyone thought you were dom or something? i forget.

i don't follow the great sock wars that closely.

I couldn't tell you who anyones sockpuppets are tbh

btw if anyone wants recommendations for good metal (IMO) then they could do a lot worse than checking out http://www.profoundlorerecords.com/

hahaha -- if they did, i wasn't aware of it

tons of ppl thought i was someone's sock though

I think most new posters seem to get that accusation.

ksh what are your favourite discoveries since you started posting on rolling metal?

i don't listen to torche, mastodon, or baroness, but its possible i might like a band called coffinworm. they don't feature, like, ex-members of superchunk or anything, do they?

no

Coffinworm

I think you would enjoy Hooded Menace too

blackened sludge doom. you could describe my lungs the very same way.

i think i can download all this stuff from my e-mail, but i never do. cuz i'm lazy. and hate listening to music on my computer. but i should check some of the newer profound lore stuff. i dig them.

Your lungs will like Sloath on Riot Season.

have I already stanned for Shadow Kingdom records enough? because they are just killing it dead with obscure reissues. amazing shit. on the sludgy front tho ss try to get that hyponic thing I was talking about, it's remarkable.

Scott you do too listen to Baroness. You posted abt it. It's OK!

Still lolling about Ben Sidran, A+ to the man in the aerosmith T.

yeah the ben sidran post was choice but i didn't want to pile on.

i listened to the last baroness album once and i liked it! listened to the one before it once too and liked it okay too. so, yes, i have listened to baroness. but i don't "listen" to baroness.

but i've got no problem with baroness. i like kylesa more though. or i really like one album by kylesa a bunch anyway. enough to listen to it, like, six times.
