Am I really the youngest person here?

[Ben...]

Hey Ben I'm too 16 (are you Ben from kramer forum?) and I agree with you, kids of our age want to be trendy at all cost, even if green shoes are in fashion. Me? I just want to get together a good band of metal

Good! I'm not the only one. And no, that's not me. Oh how I would like to create a band but the only other person I know who likes the music I like doesn't even play an instrument.

[Ben...]

I don't know maybe it's just how things are these days. When I was 16 I just wanted to look for girls and have some fun with my real world friends. The internet hadn't been invented yet. I can't help thinking things were better back then. We had REAL friends, and talked to REAL girls.
I also enjoyed reading a LOT of books (still do) and playing computer games. But I didn't spend hours on end on a computer, I spent those free hours outside with friends playing soccer and stuff.

I wish I lived back then. It sounds so much better. I find that people at my school, well, most of them, only fit into two categories; either they are too social, as in they sacrifice their future to be "cool", or they are extreme recluses(never go anywhere, have no real friends) and do extremely well. I kinda fit in the middle though I tend to be more in the second category(partly because I have a strong dislike for a majority of the people in the first). I don't usually make plans during the week so I can focus on school but I always make sure I have a plan for the weekend(I don't do the partying thing because I don't want to turn into them). My plans more include going somewhere or, in the case of last night, having a movie/Rock Band night with a trusted friend(who happened to not be a guy).

I like tight-ish jeans.

I don't like the "relic'ed" jeans though.

Unfortunately everything I've bought in the last couple years fades and rips so easily that they look "relic'ed" after a few months anyway.

None of the stuff you're complaining about is unique to kids, unfortunately. That's just the way of most people in this country (I don't know about other countries...).

Do you like your women "relic'ed"?

[thetroy]

I prefer those with some experience but who aren't beat to hell.

Wassup fellas!!!

Well I'm just droppin' by for a minute. Unfornutely, we had some troubling news about my wife..so, I've been somewhat consumed with that. It just never stops. I'll elaborate on my thread...I've been wanting to post there..I will soon!

I think Ben is a great kid. I didn't realize he was that young...but we hit it off immediately. I'm glad to share my knowledge of metal with people willing to seek the best TRUE metal has to offer..of any genre!

Jacksons Shred is 16 and one hell of a player for couple years experience...and a friend as well.

I just met Metal Reaper just recently..also seems very cool.

I haven't changed since I was 16..just grouchier with bills now. I was ALWAYS a defender of true metal. Die hards is why TRUE metal will ALWAYS be, no matter what's popular!! I even dress the same as I did at 13. You can't go wrong with the traditional biker leather thats been around for about 100 years..and Levi 505s or 501s. Did ya know that 505s are the same as 501's but with a zipper..that's the only difference. I waer several various combat boots with the toe cap..shined to mirrors. So, no matter of fasion trends. Fasion/Music go hand in hand and true metal has stood the test of time. Besides it so easy to pick what to wear..no colors to match...just black!

I've argued with members that stood strongly by Nu "metal"...Rap "metal"..and ect. They didn't know better because that's what the mainstream dictated what metal was. Nothing but a few years of hindsight made blatanly clear...Well, I told ya so!!!

*BTW..Look for a major RANT about metal coming soon! It'll be simple logic that hasn't been mentioned by anyone so far. Simple logic that even a sea slug can understand! It'll be on my thread. I will shine light so bright even the blind or dead will see..trust me!

I get MANY PMs asking about new metal to check out..I will invite them to check with me when I'll make those suggestions at that time.

666 HORNS UP!!!

I like tight jeans. Also I like to have a lot of free time. I want things to happen now... I can't stand waiting for something. I don't like putting effort into something. I like to take the least amount of responsibility. Also I don't give a fuck about grammar. I'd like to be 11. I've tried real work, I'm educating myself, getting degrees and whatnot. It's a headache to be honest. I'd like to win 200 mil. right now and wasted it on all kinds of worthless junk and show it off so I could stick my johnson into every pussy in town. But your way is cool too... I'm just a lazy son of a bitch with no ambitions whatsoever.

I just had severe cramping due to uncontrolled laughter.

That was hilarious!

[metal_reaper]

Hey Ben you could pass on the "disease" of playing an instrument! That's kind of how I got my drummer! Now it's time to get a bassist...
Or you could try to put something on your local newspaper.
If I had a local newspaper I would put a "Wanted: bassist for metal band" there

Oh I know. I've been checking want ads every day but it's always the same.

I should see if my friend wants to play drums. He absolutely adores Rock Band drums so maybe he'd like real drums.

the girls looked prettier by gaslight way back then too.

I also enjoyed reading a LOT of books (still do) and playing computer games. But I didn't spend hours on end on a computer, I spent those free hours outside with friends playing soccer and stuff.

books? computer games? soccer? Were you really talking to REAL girls back then? I mean, apart from the ones in your debating team?

I'm 31 BTW.

you're only 31?! You're such a grumpy old fuck, I imagined you were much older

[Shawn Lutz]

I'm 8...I just say Im 44 for the hell of it

[Spivonious]

I figured Ben was closer to 20. Being an enlightened 16 year-old is tough. Just wait until you get to college and all of a sudden you'll find more people like you. Then you'll go home and find the "cool" people stuck working at Barnes & Noble until they're 30.

I'm curious what people think my age is, without cheating and looking at my profile.

[Ben...]

Spiv, I'd place you in early to mid-twenties? And yes, being "enlightened" is a pain. I've been looking forward to university for a long time. It won't come soon enough I'm afraid.

Edit: People PM Bill about music recommendations? I just ask on his thread because then other people can get them too and it gives more things to discuss.

[horns666]

Ben, Thank you for mentioning that. That is a very good point. I get lots of PMs in c/w music recommendations. I don't mind this at all, but sometimes I'm not here or just busy with homelife. It can be overwhelming of the amount of questions when I return.. asking the same questions..."Bill, point me to some great new metal"..

Alot of people are specific of the music they prefer and want to know about similar bands. Sometimes those questions are the hardest to answer because sometimes there is so many bands to choose from, it takes some invest. I have a library of just over 5000 TRUE Metal cds. Due to limited space and constant incoming new metal..it forced me to become a sort of elitist. I can only house approx 6500 cds..so, they better be "keepers or "must haves" IMO. I'm constantly weeding thru them to keep space available for such music.

Contrary to popular belief there is countless bands that are similair in style to classic/modern Metallica, Megadeth, Queenryche, and ect. So It may take a little time looking thru my collection to answer specific questions. I never want to steer someone in the wrong direction, and haven't so far...I hope.

So I'm going to concentrate much on metal in my thread @ "Casa Del Fuggems". This will include my suggestions, opinions, rants and my usual obnoxious whatnots and whathaveyous. Many times I suggest the same bands to different poeple in private. So, being open about it will be better for everyone..including me!

Besides, there is a handful of friends that are extremely versed in metal as well. Who have given me MANY suggestions thru the years for some great new metal. So, everybody wins..including me!

Metal is like a fucking religion to many, it certainly is to me. So, I feel obligated to "spread the word"..so to speak.

Horns,

Bill Z
