  1. Shouldn't we talk about active versus passive?
  2. I think the first thing to google is any of your local music stores. You might not see it on the rack...but they likely have individual strings somewhere. eBay is always a great place to look for stuff. I did this search in less time than it takes to create a thread about it here.
  3. Not sure what you mean. For me...YOUR posts greatly explain a lot. Just kind of complain, without any real contribution. I could be wrong but I haven't seen very many posts from you on the amp forum since you first posted this. You're are being a little vague...but are you offended about my Ferguson reference? Check the voting records there. Even the city board member said they do not have the turn out to vote in representative officials. They complain without actually doing the necessary civilian duties. It's a good town....just a bit misguided in some sectors on the processes that would help them have a real voice. If you HAVE contributed to this forum, can you post them for me I can't seem to find them. I'm interested in your amp discussions.
  4. I searched your posts and I couldn't find too much....could be crappy HC search engines. Be that as it may...what do you contribute? Sort of like riots in Ferguson, they want to protest the state of affairs but have extremely low voting participation. It's not about being economically challenged....it's Too stupid/lazy to understand the process. But that is another forum website...right? Point being what do the few people that do visit here do? Do they just check the top of the page? Or do they provoke and inspire? If all you do is check the top of the page then make one thread about how dead everything is...well..what good is that?
  5. Might I also add that "back in the day" you;d be lucky to find any on topic threads at all on the first page? I also might add that I post instantly- not sure why yours are being reviewed- usually that;s a brand new member and not unusual...or a known troll...again not unusual. One thing I am sure you know...if the content doesn;t suit you...one good way to fix it is create your own content. I am not sure I have seen many posts by you lately. Another good way to fix it is find another website that suits you better,,and not make a big deal about it. And finally...things change. H-C had a real good run.....but there was a LOT of people using it as personal social media, rather than content forum. Few corp/vendor forums allow that....people should have been very grateful about it. But things change and we gain and lose people places and friends, Good friends find a way and it's always cool to meet new ones too. What guitars you have?
  6. I don't want it dead but I don;t necessarily want it they way it used to be. If you want a social network...why not do facebook? If you want to form groups and cool clubs and big brother alliances...join big brother. A cool in-between would be great. Not dead but not troll facebook tweet blog either.
  7. The subject of the op "Anyone ever grow out of heavy metal as you get older?." I spoke out against this very thing. its BS for the following reasons 1. "heavy metal" is a stereotype no less than saying "black music " 2. It assumes that you had to be childish to like anything that someone shoves into the category 3. It devalues past experiences without regard to actual content. So I did comment on the subject-your interpretation of my words needs work. I dont see how I was bullying anyone or where I claimed personnal perfection! See what I mean?
  8. You're putting words in my mouth! You assume that I liked something that was "bad" out of ignorance. So if I liked Bach at age 5 then I am an idiot to still like Bach?? My appetites are my own and just because I may be exposed to new things doesnt mean the devaluation of previous experiences. Closing your mind to new stuff because its not "metal" (or any other style) is shallow. To let others influence your decisions based on stereotypical assumptions is the sign of a weak mind. You assumed that we were talking about "Stereotypes". It isn't what anyone said...but I can see you just came in to make up stuff then argue about it. In fact you are coming in here making numerous assumptions altogether. So I can see this is a no-win...not with e-bullies like you. Fact is...we as human beings change. Sometimes for good sometimes not. And music is just a small part of that. You can keep thinking you know everything and are already perfect.
  9. I find this thread and others like it INANE. Stereotyping is BS. Why would anyone stop liking a song that they found appealing. On the other hand only an idiot likes something because they are told its in a stereotypical style akin to something they may have previously enjoyed without regard to the actual content of the "new" material. Great musicians arent constrained by stylistic over-simplifications and intelligent listeners arent either. If your that easily swayed then you still belong in the KISS army and were probably a lemming in a former incarnation! You must be young...because you don't see that people change. What sounded awesome when you don't know {censored} sounds like {censored} when you do. Just like thieving some bubble gum seems like a good idea at the time, when you were 10. You GROW UP to know better and how to earn the things you want. Well, you should. You don't ALWAYS know all the good stuff. There's too much, for one. Your journey to seek good music should never end..no matter how old or how imperfect. It sometimes means you change as a human and that is usually a good thing. It means you leave childish simple things behind. It doesn't mean it wasn't important. It means it's just another step on the journey.
  10. I love heavy music, as always, but I can't get into growling vocals or lyrics that go along with a lot of that, and I get bored of music and bands with songs that have little dynamic difference and sound too similar. I can pop in almost any heavy disc and like it to some degree, but to keep listening to it there's got to be something different or very kickass about it. Get rid of Cookie (with a few exceptions) in favor of powerful vocals with a good dynamic range -- without sounding cheesy -- and a lot of that music suddenly sounds a lot more worth listening to IMO. Agreed. Sometimes a band...like (I think) Between The Buried and Me....really captures me.....until the cookie gurgling comes in...and I lose all interest. *FOR ME*...there's nothing musical or musically interesting about it at all. I get the feeling these bands often do it because they can't sing.
  11. Grow out of liking real music? {censored} no. If you have "grown out of it" you probably never really liked it in the first place. Most likely you were posing. {censored}ing poser. I don't think there's anything wrong with looking other places to learn and grow as a guitar player, musician...and music listener. I hate modern metal...talk about "posers". Half the time Godsmack and all the other copycats (of whoever) are talking about being upset with the girlfriend. I still have a fondness for good 80's metal (not Poison...but Helloween, TNT, Maiden, Raven...etc), but I have also grown into jazz, fusion, the jam band scene (like Moe/Umphrey's/etc). All part of my musical journey that I wouldn't have if I subscribed to your philosophy. "real music"? I don't think you know.
