Alright, I'll listen to it carefully tonight and let you know tomorrow. Anyway, there’s an abyss between Zakkete and Spencer... what Spencer did with Pussy Galore, Zakkete will reach that level in a few decades... as for The White Stripes, let’s not even go there and maybe a little more...

I couldn't care less if a musician is technically a phenomenon... I'd rather have someone who's not very skilled but knows how to engage the audience. I've seen concerts by people who are masters of their instrument, yet they could only make their listeners yawn... I remember watching a concert in the eighties in Bath by Jesus and Mary Chain: from my point of view, they were technically quite low-level, but I assure you that concert will stay with me for as long as I live, two hours of pure mental journey. Come on, I wasn't expecting to hear their album again, but I was hoping to experience an engaging band. Instead, apart from the singer (but he didn't really excel), the rest of the band was rather dull. And usually, I avoid bands that play the album live exactly as it is... that's exactly why I went to see them...

Hey bigul, that's street music, gospel choirs that emphasize the art of footwork. Anyway, go back to your room and admire the posters of your MEGADETH while you indulge in your mental jerks on the internet... Anyway, THE RECORDS YOU DOWNLOAD FROM THE INTERNET ARE DEFECTIVE, MAYBE I CAN GIVE YOU SOMETHING BY JO SPENCER AND YOU CAN HEAR THINGS LIKE ELECTRONICA, SCRATCH, DRUM MACHINE, ETC ETC. THINGS HE'S USED FOR A LIFETIME... but live they magically disappear, leaving only two frenzied guitars and a monstrous drum... half the concert spent playing on my knees, if we CAN CALL IT PLAYING, because it would be better to say VIOLATING... come on, go back to your Zack AND ADMIRE HIS COVER SKULLS that always scream metal... KKKK? MON BABY, WHAT YOU GONNA DO???? Man, it's late...

Dots, before you start with your long and boring poems, read carefully what someone writes. I never said that stò minkyone is someone who experiments!!! This was about making money with music and in fact I said it has nothing to do with it... but I don't feel like explaining why; if you read carefully above you'll understand, otherwise just drop it. As for the Converge concert, from the way you write, it's clear you haven't seen them. Don't explain to me how a band should be live; it makes you look better... even Jo Spencer uses overdubs, backing tracks, electronics, and the more, the merrier, yet live those three will crush you with the wall of sound they can produce. But is it possible that I have to explain the ABC of music to you? After all, what can you expect from someone who says punk sucks... now I'm off before you bombard me with 5 or 6 of your posts in a row; I'll read you tomorrow, but right now I've got a curve waiting for me and the music being played is something else...

Here it is... but who remembers? Sorry, but if I read it somewhere, Gubbio probably read it somewhere too, so it’s likely they talked about it somewhere, right? And if you tell me that he doesn’t mention it during concerts, I can believe that (I have to trust you since I hope to never find myself at one of his concerts), but what does it matter? If your girlfriend cheats on you and doesn’t tell you, but you’re sure she is, introduce me to her anyway... Anyway, on that subject, I think there’s nothing more to say, I’ll go back to music: don’t you find metal boring and old? I mean, it’s always the same guitar riffs, the same sounds we’ve already heard, nothing new... to me, it’s really boring that in 2005 people are still praising these artists. Not that there’s much interesting out there, another half disappointment was Converge: I liked them quite a bit from their album, I saw them 10 days ago at Rolling, but they seemed like a flash in the pan, what a shame... honestly, right now there’s nothing that really excites me, and I see a lot of hype around bands that actually don’t have much to offer... I don’t know, maybe it’s just me getting older...

x katzenjammer: And who is being polemical? I just expressed my opinion, or do you think that a thought different from yours is still polemical? Of course, it’s my problem, that goes without saying, and after my intervention, you will continue to listen to them as you always have, right? And we will all live happily and discontented! It seems normal to me that a musician tries to be heard by as many people as possible; I never said that this is a problem. It's a problem when, to achieve this goal, he flattens his music, stops experimenting, and starts to become repetitive. That’s all, but I don’t see how this relates to the fact that his way of seeing politics (and thus the world in general) also influences my judgment of him as a musician. Let me give you an example: if your girlfriend cheats on you every day, and for you, fidelity is an important value, who cares if your wife is a real stunner? You might like her a lot, but in the end, you cannot accept her way of seeing life, you drop her immediately and maybe introduce her to me… who could care less about fidelity, get the metaphor?

x damaskinos: I don't subscribe to anyone's philosophy either. However, if someone openly supports a warmongering liberal like Bush, I allow myself to judge them ACCORDING TO MY WAY OF SEEING LIFE. I could fill you with examples of their parallelism regarding strategies, but I don't think this is the right moment.
x katzenincullen: Your mental stubbornness is incredible. Music has always carried social and political messages. The sEX PISTOLS WHO WENT TO THE JEWISH NEIGHBORHOOD WITH THE SWASTIKA ON THE T-SHIRT are part of music history, and you cannot disregard that. I’m fine (though I don’t agree) if you tell me that politics doesn’t interest you in life (that’s your business), and if for you it’s only important to see a loser masturbating with a guitar after getting drunk, so be it. But you cannot separate the two things; with certain characters, politics is implicit.

x damaskinos: don’t act like a class know-it-all, of course they are different, but for now the strategies are identical. x the compilations against Bush depend, if they are meant to fund and support actions or campaigns against him, fine, otherwise it’s just marketing. you can do whatever you want, I won’t give money to this idiot and to people like him, and he might be talented but he has very little creativity… To someone who claims to approve of Bush's choices for the good of America, I can only piss on his head for a hair loss treatment.

In fact, this is a Nazi supporter of American neocons... among the worst crap humanity can produce. I accidentally bought the previous album to this one, and I find it boring, metal that brings nothing new. Better this way, I don't even have to question whether to listen to them or not as I do with other bands, because unfortunately I have to contradict you, gubbio, there are many musicians who supported Bush, and sadly, unlike this loser, some I like a lot. For example, the last deceased Ramone often made positive statements towards Bush...

You either love it or hate it, but it definitely doesn't leave you indifferent... that's essential.
