| ________________________________ [Jan 12,2013 2:49pm - Spence ""] This thread needs more copy & pasting craigslist adds and praise for random shitty black metal bands, you're totally right. |
| ____________________________________ [Jan 12,2013 3:00pm - trioxin245 ""] Get with it notshaver, garbage like this is all the rage with the metal kiddies these days, along with shirt designs straight from Ed Hardy's asshole. |
| ________________________________ [Jan 12,2013 3:03pm - Spence ""] Haha random polish progressive rock bands who, when last touring the US, played shows to 50 people tops are now all the rage? |
| ____________________________________ [Jan 12,2013 3:14pm - trioxin245 ""] Hence, garbage LIKE this. |
| ________________________________ [Jan 12,2013 3:15pm - Spence ""] What bands are you referring to? The only popular band that could really be compared to Riverside is Porcupine Tree. |
| ____________________________________ [Jan 12,2013 3:18pm - trioxin245 ""] I just hear a lot of the younger crowd using the term 'prog' to describe bands they like, I couldnt actually name any. Hell some of them might even be good, Im just not interested at all. |
| ________________________________ [Jan 12,2013 3:22pm - Spence ""] Oh well that's because people don't know the difference between the words "technical" and "progressive" and don't understand the concept that while they can overlap that they don't always. But nah, this band isn't like one of those PROG METAL LOL bands. They take influence from metal but they also take influence from 70's/80's prog, ambient, shoegaze, pop and jazz too. They're just overall excellent IMO. |
| ____________________________________ [Jan 12,2013 3:26pm - trioxin245 ""] Yea Im not taking any shots at you in particular, its just that a lot of us 'somewhat older' folks grew up in a time when being metal still made you an outcast, got you beat up, etc so we have become bitter and close-minded about bands with names like Riverside or Jolly. |
| ___________________________________ [Jan 12,2013 3:28pm - nekronaut ""] Sand in vagina: OP HAS IT |
| ________________________________ [Jan 12,2013 3:29pm - Spence ""] The thing is that while Riverside do have metal influence, they definitely ARE NOT metal or pretending to be. So maybe that makes it different for you? As for Jolly, I have no idea what their deal is. I read a review of them once and it said they're like Tool worship, so i've avoided listening to them thus far. hahaha |
| ____________________________________ [Jan 12,2013 3:33pm - trioxin245 ""] Yea Im all for jolly sounding music as long as it isnt trying to call itself 'metal.' |
| _______________________________________ [Jan 12,2013 3:34pm - boblovesmusic ""] Riverside is an excellent band, among my favorites. Spence is right that they're not even really metal (though they're metal enough for the metal archives). They're more akin to Porcupine Tree or any band on InsideOut Music (heck they're on that label). |

It's not extreme-metal, but there's surely metal about them. Who are you to label who is or is not metal? |

A few of us that are even OLDER grew up in a time when Poison, Bon Jovi, AC/DC, Whitesnake, and a whole ton of other crap was also labelled "Metal", and don't really give too much of a shit how liberally the term gets used. Personally, I beat up many an outcast while wearing both Poison AND Iron Maiden shirts. |

| ________________________________ [Jan 13,2013 5:03pm - Spence ""] I don't listen to that band, I don't even if they're tools enough to actually like Taylor Swift. You never know. Some people have questionable taste. |

| ______________________________________________ [Jan 13,2013 5:32pm - ArrowHead Logged In ""] But honestly, for the "tools" too lazy to watch the actual video of the band I posted earlier and continue saying "I've never heard them": They sound like a very creative mix between Tool, 311, and something like old Cure or the Smiths. You might like it, you might not. I know a few people here that should really check it out because they love music like this. bennyhillifier bennyhillifier bennyhillifier Musically they're all over the map, and tend to combine heavy and poppy stuff in the same song. I don't like it all the time, but there's a few songs like "Where Everything's Perfect" where they pull it off amazingly. Sadly looks like the hurricane waylaid any chance of the new album coming out this year. |
| ___________________________________ [Jan 13,2013 6:21pm - dreadkill ""] If it sounds anything like 311, I'm not interested. |

I like your style. Why listen to a new band for 3 minutes when you can immediately exclude them in seconds based on a comparison. I bet the amount of music you don't like directly correlates to the amount of people that don't like your music. ;) |

There's a lot of music out there and I don't have infinite time to listen to every band in the world. Maybe you like every kind of music ever made and have never passed on listening to a band, but I don't. There are some bands and genres I don't like, not because I think the musicians are unskilled or the songs are poorly written, but because I simply don't like how it sounds. If you find it so worthwhile to call me narrow-minded over it, so be it. I get it, you're so open minded and that makes you so much better than me and all the other morons who post here. |

Especially when you could have listened to any number of the tunes I posted with ease, and you already said you like Riverside. What if I were wrong, and you find it nothing like 311? Dumbass. Too butt hurt to get the point about the error in your thinking. I'm not saying like everything, I'm saying try everything before deciding what you like. |

You're right, nothing sad about ignoring 5 posted videos in a row and instead dismiss a band based on a comparison on the internet by a dude you clearly don't agree with. In the end, it's about bands getting a shot at our ear. When you already enjoy the headliner, and it's only a sacrifice of a few minutes, not listening is asinine. Right now Jolly is looking at some traumatic shit. They just lost their entire studio, rehearsal space, and home. All their gear, the entire new album that was being recorded, etc... gone. And that is added to the difficulty of them trying to build a following, just like you or any other musician has to deal with. And for every one person I've seen listen and say "this is great" or "this sucks", I've seen 5 guys like you who won't even bother to listen. Sad. Retarded. To put it in perspective, when you first started promoting Dreaded Silence over on the Baystate Rock board some, what, ten years ago? I took the five minutes and listened. Granted, I'm not a huge fan, but I LISTENED. Same went for The Departed/Sacreligion, and all the other locals at the time. In fact, rarely will I see someone post a song, link, or video that I don't listen to it. Rarely do I dig it, but to me it's how I find a huge amount of music I've never heard of. Listening, not going off reviews, names, genres, or comparisons. TLDR - listen to it. What's the worst that happens, you don't like a song? |

Too much butthurt and over-zealous dissertations with unnecessary defensive lashings due to few mere words on an otherwise mediocre band with a (presumably) even worse fan base. Dreadkill is one of the nicest guys around. If it ain't everyone's cup o' tea, there's no need to get personal. I dunno what stick Petey has had in his ass since he came back. I miss the old helloween Arrowhead; must have listened to too much post-Focus Cynic to where it turned him sour. |

I listened to parts of a few songs posted in this threads and I am coming to the exact same conclusion. Seems like a lot of time wasted arguing about 2 very gay bands. I actually want my 45 total seconds of listening time back. |
| ________________________________ [Jan 14,2013 2:05pm - Spence ""] The two Jolly songs I listened to(Joy, Where Everything's Perfect) were decent, they're not something I would find myself coming back to I don't think. And it's totally different from Riverside. Riverside is a band that any and every prog fan should attempt listening to at least once through an entire album. |
