I like the name I Love You But I’ve Chosen Darkness.
My favorite new band name though is a local act called Buried With Children.

Puddle of Mudd
These Arms Are Snakes
The Tony Danza Tap Dance Extravaganza
Gay for Johny Depp

Although the last two are pretty damn hilarious. Also I remember about ten years ago my dad couldn’t believe that Tool, Limp Bizkit and Korn were real bands.

I like the name I Love You But I’ve Chosen Darkness.

didnt barker produce their album?

And You Will Know Us By the Trail of the Dead being the most blantant. Locally the funniest name I remember was this group in the ‘90’s called Dick Delicious and the Tasty Testicles. Another band I used to play shows with quite a bit were called The Gettin’ Headstones, that was clever.

Yes. Great album too. I spin this quite a bit at clubs - it has a good response.

These Arms Are Snakes

are awesome…i will have no bad-mouthing of their kick arsery!

I guess we’ll just be a board for people who care about good music and like to talk about it.

Sounds good.

I’ll start then:

I hear you have a love of 80’s thrash metal.

Please elaborate.

I agree - they’re good live too.

I am digging Does It Offend You, Yeah? quite a bit - their album has good tracks and in clubs their stuff always sounds really good. We are Rockstars and Let’s Make Out are overplayed but there are other good tracks on the album - some even more mellow. And unlike Justice or Digitalism, they’re a full band.

for a while i wanted to call my band Broken Condom and the Dumpster Babies.

As far as local bands with odd names, here there’s Maggot Twat (insane lyrics). I don’t like thrash metal but still - great live shows too.

best name for a local band…

“Free Beer”

Tonight at _______… FREE BEER!

everybody will show.

p.s. - i love prongs. awesome here. intelligent. thanks.

why the hell is clayton out looking for distribution if they’re supposed to be on Al’s label? nobody at the “ranch” (snicker) can figure that one out or what?

Sounds good.

Given that sarcasm is not easily detectable in a text based medium, I’ll just give a straight answer. I like 80s thrash because of its compelling adolescent aggression and occasional examples of musical genius in certain bands like Celtic Frost, Coroner, Watchtower, Sepultura or Death Angel. It’s a form of metal which fuses punk with egocentric machismo quite well and due to its energy and particular musical traits personally appeals to me for its potential as venting music. I think everybody needs something to vent to on occasion and I find that listening to thrash metal or shooting some people in Quake does the job perfectly.

again, why is clayton looking for a distributor for a record that’s supposedly coming out on 13th Attempt To Kill Your Wallet, when the label has distribution with sony bmg (according to the website)? i think the “artist friendly” notes about the label should get a serious rewrite. unless the only artist the label is friendly with is al.
curious. details kill the devil.

Wish to hell I’d arrived here earlier.

I hope Prongs continues for a long time to come…there’s some good stuff and great postings in here.

I think maybe grmpy’s got Stayte confused with Simple Shelter (Josh’s “solo” project) or maybe even V.H.S. (some other project they’re both working on).

But to check, I just sent a Myspace message asking point blank what the status of the 13th Planet released Stayte album is. Let’s see what happens, shall we?

we shall.

Actually, this forum is really a front for an organised pedophilia ring.

Yr quite welcome to join in…

Hmmm. Sounds promising…do continue…

Yr answers are positively Freudian, old chap. Interesting, considering I was expecting something along the lines of: I like it cos it’s sick and gnarly.

I take it then that you are salivating over the prospect of a new Metallica album materialising sometime later this year?

I think everybody needs something to vent to on occasion and I find that listening to thrash metal or shooting some people in Quake does the job perfectly.

Quite true. I ‘vent’ via a process of fantisising and self pleasuring, usually over a copy of Fiesta magazine.

At least then no one gets hurt.

I always preferred the Sodom/Celtic Frost/Slayer side of things, so I couldnt really care less about what Metallica is doing these days.

At the risk of sounding redundant, liking one kind of music (thrash metal in this case) doesn’t prevent one from enjoying others and generally having an open minded attitude towards exploration. I never claimed thrash metal is the only thing I listen to, nor did I claim it is my favorite genre by a long shot. Sure, the archetypal metal fan is a babbling drunk idiot who wouldnt know good music if it bit him on the ass, but what can you do? Every genre has its fair share of intellectually numb devotees…
