How utterly fucking pathetic.

Facebook may indeed not be a fad but what you have just described up there is the lamest, most piss-soaked pile of embarrassing wank since Dragonforce.

This is so very true.

that's not fair on Dragonforce.
At least they served the semi-useful purpose of keeping sweaty pizza-encrusted fanboys locked up inside until they could finish "through the fire and flames" on ultimate on guitar hero.

They do a song rotation thing, don't they?
So that they never play the same set twice. Pretentious cunts.

Dream Theater have more musical merit
in that they are all outrageously good on their instruments and have managed to put together a few decent songs in their time.

I don't know
I just find them unbelievably boring

that's because you don't appreciate the muscianmanship

She doesn't, and neither do I.
This is primarily becuase there is no such thing as 'muscianmanship'.

how would you feel if I had spelt it correctly?

How does their craft mean anything
if they do nothing decent with it?

Like Amberl. ^
I don't know their stuff but I know Mike Portnoy (?) is well regarded - but technical ability does not an interesting musician make. The Pistols were better than The Stranglers, despite being worse if you know what I mean.
(, Wed 6 Oct 2010, 15:24, Reply)
I know what you mean
the guys from Dream Theater do some good stuff though. I won't deny that they are awfully pretentious in some instances, but their album Train of Thought is a solid metal album, and while it does have widdly guitar solos they are significantly better than those in Dragonforce songs for example.

I can understand you or Amberl not liking it, but they are far from shit. Interesting and proficient use of odd time-signatures and that sort of thing.

I don't know why I'm defending them quite so much, because I only really like one of their albums. I think it is a principle thing now.

I don't know who this Dragonforce band is
but judging by their name, their other hobbies all include multi-sided dice.
(, Wed 6 Oct 2010, 15:11, Reply)
As opposed to those single sided dice we all use?

(, Wed 6 Oct 2010, 15:14, Reply)
Single sided dice
have uses in societally vetted and acceptable pursuits such as certain card games and Ludo. Multi-sided dice do not.
(, Wed 6 Oct 2010, 15:19, Reply)
Surely a dice has 6 sides, not 1
Even a card has two

Of course
I meant to say "six-sided" dice, however I settled for making myself look like a total prick instead.

Bah.

This is almost certainly the case
all of their songs are about swords and dragons and stuff.

They're more like Iron Maiden but even weedier. They wear Simpsons tights.

He stomped out of the womb
Annoyed that his white trainers were mucky from the afterbirth, then immediately derided the midwife's taste in music before walking off with the drugs trolley.
