Release your inner music snob

[VREEEEVROOOOOW]

Post things you would say after 4+ pints, if pressed

4 pints. Metal music is tacky
5 pints. Rock'n'roll was a mistake
6 pints. There is very little point to any currently active rock band except Godspeed You! Black Emperor
7 pints. Virtually all western music made after the romantic period is trash
8 pints. All electric(onic) instruments are trash
9 pints. Only improvised music counts.
10 pints. Zzz.

Gimme another pint and put some fucking Slayer on.
(this would be said for all pints)

1 pint. spotify is garbage.

2 pints. digital music was already free its called soulseek and share folder and an mp3 player.

3 pints. If you insist on spending money on digital releases, find some good (ideally local) music on .bandcamp.com and give your monthly subscription fee to those people.

4 pints. the idea of free music used to shock and scare people but somehow everyones perfectly OK living in 2019 where some non-musician CEO cokehead absorbed 2.5 billion dollars of the industry never having written or recorded a second of material.

5 pints. also bother yourself to listen to full albums. stop it with this algorithmic auto suggestion stuff. youre so lazy can you bother to just browse wikipedia or discogs for like 10 minites and figure out what albums/artists you might even be remotely interested in trying.

6 pints. also , and you know who you are, your idea of listening to music is with the built in speakers on your cell phone and/or laptop. none of your musical opinions matter even in the slightest. stop joining bands you are wasting everyones time.

7 pints. Zzz.

@chromandre I would have some pints with you & nod approvingly at every single point you just made

[D.o.S.]

I'm sorry I just can't relate to this thread at all.

Also

neil young is a better guitarist than Joni Hendrix

[coldbrightsunlight]

That sounds suspiciously like something I would say after x pints, where x is a large number of pints. Do I enjoy pointless arguments and provocation? Only among friends.

I'm sorry I just can't relate to this thread at all.

My irony meter, it's, it's out of control. I've never seen a reading this high.


This thread certainly resonates with me. But to get the answers you must ply me with pints, or talk to dos who remembers things too well.

[D.o.S.]

Also who the fuck is Joni Hendrix?

Honest reply to the thread:
"Stop pressing me, I've already had four pints."

[coldbrightsunlight]

The lovechild of Johnny Greenwood and the Hendricks gin people. Monster guitarist

[ognoy]

4 pints: I wish I didn't play guitar.
5 pints: I fucking love jazz. I wish I could play jazz.
6 pints: Why the fuck do I play guitar? Jazz guitar fucking sucks!
7 pints: Why do everyone hate nu-metal? It is the heavy music of my generation. Hybrid Theory is a really good album!
8 pints: *puts on Slipknot*
9 pints: Where do they have good falafel around here?
10 pints: zzzzzzzzz

[D.o.S.]

Not Joni Mitchell as portrayed by Christina Hendricks?

[D.o.S.]

7 pints: Why do everyone hate nu-metal? It is the heavy music of my generation. Hybrid Theory is a really good album!

Talk about the worst bait and switch of all time.

I've never got how you can drink more than 3 beers in one sitting, you get full before you feel anything...

Maybe you do

5 pints: I fucking love jazz. I wish I could play jazz.

This is like 0 pints in my life.
Then, pint 4 would be: yeah, jazz is just onanism, solos, solos, solos, gime me some fucking riffs.
Pint 5: ambient guitar looping was created by pedal-industry to create demand for useless replicates of reverbs and delays.
(which leads to - later that night)
Pint 6: wohoo a new obscure builder has created a delay that diffuses in reverb with an integrated loop, gonna buy at least two.

[VREEEEVROOOOOW]

0 pints: I need more reverb pedals
Somewhere along the way to 8 pints: using pedals is just a crutch for people who can't play guitar
