Mr X, i have to say u do have many valid points..
Today, its like to listen to commercial punk (and there;s no way in hell im guna say all punk coz band like Ramones, The sex pistols and Kisschasy are great) is the new teeny bopper. It shits me to see people wearing a Ramones shirt or even Nirvana shirts and not being able to name an album or even favourite song bcoz they're onli following trends.
Im more into metal but i also dont mind a bit of punk. I saw Blink in concert last year, Gyroscope and Sparta were opening and both sounded amazing too.. and they were awesome..Even better than their recorded stuf..so i think to Reali judge a band u have to hear them live, with all the filters and shit they can put on a song to make a band sound the way they are is shameful. But they were great.
I dont think trying to decide if a band is good or not on forum like this isnt worthwhile coz every1 has different tastes and a descision would never be reached.
The onli thing i can add is that you should step outside ur normal comfort zone in terms of what music u listen to and what sources u get ur music from. Triple j play a whole mix or stuf, from good punk like Gyroscope to normal rock like Grand Fatal & After the fall to metal like A perfect cirlce, I Killed The Prom Queen, even some mainstream Slipknot..but they're perfect for what ur style seems to include. Im a big believer in if you dont like a certain type of music, dont bag it out just dont listen to it..and dont follow the crowd like a bunch of sheep..experiment and find a style or styles that suit you and stick with that..

hey
Yeah i understand what you mean jason. I actually do llisten to triple j and love what they play (most of the time). I think i am relatively open to new styles of music, but i can understand that i dont come across that way.

You mentioned Gyroscope (sick band), they are hving a tour coming up so you might be interested in that, their plaing at Penrith. You also mentioned After the Fall, their awesome as well.

I totally agree with your views on live music. Bands always sounds so much better live than on a cd, i think the atmosphere of those sort of concerts have a big effect on it as well.

Personally i am not a huge fan of Slipknot and Mudvayne etc etc, but what ever does it for you, i can respect that. Just not rap.

And yeah the whole shirt wearing thing also gives me the shits.

Until we meet again.
Mr X
