Deschain

I try my best to be right but not tight!

Alternative metal is a throwaway description, alternative anything means nothing! If one has to apply that to a band then that means the music is bad or at least has crappy genre aspirations (then again that kind of does go for anything that is already nu metal!)! I would be fine with calling System of a Down "freak metal" if it came down to it, ultimately the label is not important...but I think System of a Down was clearly related to the nu metal movement, particularly because the typical worst excesses of the other bands of that genre are the same mistakes they kept making.

Honestly bands like Linkin Park were pure pop/extremely bad rap, where on the other hand bands like Disturbed or Korn really had nothing but "playing fast and acting tough", I wish there a good definition to say "this is crappy and not metal and not hard rock and not pop, it is just a muddled shitty diluted mess birthed from the "noise war" distortion obsession that birthed us beauties like Metallica - St. Anger", basically "noisy rock" would work for me because it was basically generally simply an awful byproduct of the noise wars

nu metal is definitely not metal

(and besides just System of a Down's debut album, probably never good)

The hell, you say. We spoke on AIM up until I got rid of it two years ago, haha.

I haven't used AIM in over two years.

Don't tell me you're still solely loyal to AIM and don't even have Skype.

happy birthday!

Happy Birthday!!!

woag woah you are an eagle?

Nice, procrastination is the best nation. Obligatory "what was your project?" i built a little bridge in a state park.

Did you ever do OA? I just came back from my ordeal this morning and man it was harsh, really glad i did it though.

Hello mr excessive(ly awesome) hair:

Shame you never got to hit up the Rockies. Sea Base was fun, but Philmont really is like the Mecca of Scouting. Also, no jellies.

I got Eagle a little over a year ago; my dad aged out when he was a Life and he was NOT about to let his son do the same. Do you have your Eagle?
