Agreed. It's boring drivel. It's like Pink Floyd minus the amazing music and lyrics. So basically what you have left is listening to a bunch of guys musically masturbate with a whiney voice interwoven.

clearly a matter of differing tastes - in my opinion it doesnt get ANY more boring and masturbatory than Pink Floyd (talk about boring drivel) and I really don't see any musical parallels between the 2 bands

Yes boring drivel, much like people who crash threads just to go against the grain.

Wow, I guess everyone really is different. In all the discussions about why this band or that band suck, Pink Floyd was the one band that I thought everyone would be able to get into.

nah there's a lot of haters. You'll even get people to bash Bob Dylan and the Beatles believe it or not. Doesn't make them right though..

is MT an official forum? maybe that's how they've avoided being found out. all i know is any time a link is posted to copyrighted music, it goes down. philosophically, i agree with you. there are dozens of bands id never have listened to or paid money to hear if not for the internet. however, by your own admission, you don't buy the cd's, so you kinda are ripping people off.

I buy shitloads of cds and never said that I didn't. I have a fucking vinyl collection (not a bad size either). I go to record stores with the intention of spending 100-200 dollars on vinyl records or cds. But where the hell am I gonna get a Gerogergegege or Koenjihyakei cd in this country? (and those are just two of many many many examples..). Besides that, I don't really like the idea of the artist getting mere pennies (or even fractions of pennies) for their album selling and the record company getting the rest of that money. But I still buy cds.

And yeah, I think MT is official. It's the forum for Greenplastic which Thom and the guys visit and actually post on the forum occasionally.. but that doesn't seem much different than this forum or Red Mosquito. I just think our mods are being a bit paranoid and uptight
