ROLLING HARDMAN THREAD 2009

large city + mass transit = encountering many many people daily. a lot of them are gonna be assholes

tbh i am routinely amazed at how well, relatively speaking, it all functions. and nyc transit commuters >>> suburban car commuters everywhere

Are you disturbed? Someone ban this freak from the thread. You're a piece of work. It was YOU who started this stupid ass discussion. Now you're saying this shit? Slimy m.f.

Goggles on I'm going ALL CAPS. IM PISSED. talk of 'technical virtuoso' is just so DAMN STUPID. With RACIST OVERTONES. Since when does it have any factor on whether you can CREATE GREAT MUSIC.

Were any of the BEATLES virtuoso on their instruments? Obviously NOT. DOES IT MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE? OBVIOUSLY NOT.

Was BLUES MUSIC created using 3 simple chords? YES.

IS QUESTLOVE THE MOST TALENTED DRUMMER IN THE WORLD? IS HE IN THE TOP 500? NOPE. DOES HE UNDERSTAND MUSIC? YES. DOES HE MAKE GREAT MUSIC? YES. IS A VIRTUOSO? NO.

JIMI HAD THE SAME SHIT THROWN AT HIM BY PEOPLE LIKE YOU. WAS JIMI A GUITAR VIRTUOSO? NOPE. IS HE RIGHTLY CONSIDERED ONE OF THE GREATEST GUITAR PLAYERS EVER? YUP.

Can PRINCE play bass like BOOTSY? NO. Can he make BASSLINES funky? OBVIOUSLY YES. DOES IT MATTER? NO.

LIKE SOMEONE SAID UP THREAD, JAMES GADSON FUCKING PLAYED THE SUGAH DADDY BEAT ON HIS THIGH. THOSE ARE HIM SLAPPING HIS THIGH. RECORDED. OH BUT MAYBE HE'S NOT THE BEST THIGH SLAPPER IN THE WORLD, LET'S JUST POINT THAT OUT.

IS HE A VIRTUOSO THIGH PLAYER? NOPE. I'M SURE THERE ARE 100 OR SO VIRTUOSO THIGH SLAPPERS OUT THERE WHO CAN SLAP A THIGH BETTER THAN HE CAN. THEY'VE PROBABLY HAD THAT GIFT SINCE BIRTH. THEY PROBABLY SPENT 30 YEARS SLAPPING THIGHS.

JAMES GADSON ISNT A VIRTUOSO THIGH SLAPPER.

BUT STILLADVANCE IS A VIRTUOSO FOOL.

not in the spirit of the season at all

whole lotta display names up for grabs in that post

raxx be slappin more thigh than errol flynn

I don't know if that's genuine hardman style, more like just straight up "pay attention to meeeeeeeeeee". hardman style is like a precision strike with comically unnecessary force, this racoon guy is just crazy or something.

lol most of the ppl who buy enough into popstar fandom to call themselves 'swifties' or 'katycats' understand the machinations of the industry far more deeply than this dork and are well aware of these writers and producers and their writing camps that he seems to think are obscure secrets that the industry guards with care.

the book he is kinda-sorta reviewing must be hella basic if some of the tantalizing factoids he mentions from it are things as well-known as the existence of lou pearlman/denniz pop and tlc having turned down "baby one more time" etc.

also wtf, the "already gone"/"halo" soundalike controversy was not shrugged off or unnoticed by pop fans at all; it arguably was the foundation of most of the former song's publicity, especially b/c (the surely input-free, manufactured) kelly clarkson spoke out about it herself

lmao

To be fair to whiney -- and i wouldn't go too far with this, believe me -- he seems to embody a type of attitude that was popular on this board years ago and isn't so much now. He likes a lot of music and has fierce opinions so he'd be good to have around if he would cut out this kind of hardman bullshit.

epigraph to the commemorative second edition of hipster puppies.

treeship providing even the hardman content now. is there any part of ilx that will not be remade in his image?

the gay thread?

i don't think my non-offensive quips at whiney or anyone else constitute "hardman" content. i don't have anything against whiney or hipster puppies... ppl on this board know i love a good dog photo

my golden retriever isn't very alt though

it is a perfect normcore G.R.

even nakh has expressed fondness for your dog

Wow gross

?

?_?

"fondness 4 ur dog" jokes

ew

now he understands

someone shouldve talked him out of putting 20 songs on it

0 songs would have done just fine.

Throwing eggs is not likely to be nearly enough violence, in fact. Anti-Trump protesters need to get evry serious now about self-defence, against paramilitary style attacks from Trump supporters and against Police

i like it when hardmen get a little hardboiled.

Don't clutch your pearls so tight, might strain a tendon.

ha yeah there is something a bit fred-esque about our very own malcolm eggs out there on the front line cautioning his fellow americans to get real about self-defence

sending treeship some glossy photos of me in boxer briefs and one of those desktop calendars to help fuel his imagination

I hope the writer of the LA weekly piece chokes on a pretzel. Not lethally, but enough to give him a good scare and maybe embarass him a little.
