What, like a Pot Noodle or sumat?!........haha

Yeah why on earth would you possibly want to win those tickets!? Oh yeah I remember, the band can hold a tune and write songs which (more than 10) people enjoy...

It really is strange how the 'shit' bands get signed, aint it! I just don't understand how the your awesome and obscure local bands don't get any exposure. I mean come on, you play to all your friends on a weekly basis - and you still don't get a record deal! Don't they realise that all of your friends would buy a copy of your album, that's loads - right!

And you're so punk and so metal - so fucking with it, it hurts! So cool because you don't conform! You grow big beards, drink like crazy motherfuckers and wear t-shirts with pentagrams on! Nobody messes with you I bet! Promotors are probably too scared to book you right? You'd never do anything perceived as 'popular' - even if you enjoyed it. You'll just be real and keep playing our terrible songs! To your friends. Hmmm there's a few less here than last week....

If you always see the same faces at your gigs, or you can't get gigs in decent venues I have news for you. You are fucking wank, and seriously need to consider giving it up. The whole idea of playing mucis is to express yourself - if it's turning you into a negative mass that is clearly envious and drooling at the mouth of the success of other bands you should consider giving it up. It clearly isn't getting you anywhere or doing you any good. If you don't have one (which I suspect), maybe a day job will do you good? Afterall it's good to face the things you fear, you might come out a better person at the other end.

If your band = no success & Miss Conduct = success.
Then Miss Conduct > your band.

Regardless of what you think, that is the fact. Your opinion is not fact. Neither is mine. Reality is. Deal with it and stop crying.

Now that I sit down and think about it I've realised everything you have said is right.

note to self: don't piss orgsey off

oh... and pwned.

i've been a negative mass. it almost broke me.

best not to judge your own progress by that of other bands, and best not to a) be jealous, b) give a fuck, or c) vent irrelevant negative opinions about other bands in your scene doing well. if you really feel the need to feel, keep it to yourself.

lesson number 1: you cannot (and do not have the right to) tell listeners and A&R what to like and what not to like.

I have to admit I edited Rich's post. I intended to edit it back after someone quoted it, but after that big fat greenie I just had I can't remember what it said in the first place.

I came accross like a right cunt in that post, but I guess it's because I probably am.

Anyone who knows me well knows I aint a fan of confrontations. Believe me I'd read many many similar threads and have not been bothered. I don't have a problem with either of you personally - I don't think I've ever met either of you. What I said wasn't about your individual bands, it was more a case argument of sorts. Rich has played a gig for me before (I think... I don't remember a lot) - I'll be honest I don't love FF, but then again I don't hate you! I like punk and I like what you do, I'm all for bands and music - from my support of bands on here I think it is clear I do not pick and choose who I want to deal with based on my tastes. rockhard; I've never heard your band as far as I am aware although I could be wrong, I guess you're in a metal band from what I remember - I love metal too so I have nothing againt what you do. I don't really know how many people go to either of your gigs or how sucessful you are... It just seems clear to me that the outburts on here are just pure jealousy. It's not healthy to be jealous - and regardless of whether you think they (the bands you hate) are deserving of what they have earned, they have indeed earned it. Just because you do not like their music does not mean they are shit! What I said above was purely to show the hypocrasy of what you were saying - just because they are not hardcore punk rockers or metal heads you don't think they deserve to tour or be signed... But it is obvious that far more people disagree with you than agree, and through desperation you feel a need to voice constant outspoken opinion which is also consistantly negative. These people do not jump into your threads and posts and give you shit, so why do you feel a need to do it to them?

There are some bands I like more than others, just like everyone else including yourselves... I just don't understand people who go around imposing their musical views on people. When it comes down to the nitty gritty of humanity, you have to be a real fucking cunt to judge someone based on their musical taste. I just don't get it, people like that are zealots of a meaningless opinion. In the long run of things music means fuck all - it's amazing yes but letting the bands you listen to rule your personality doesnt wash with me. Can't we all just get along?

I keep banging on about everything being opinion and I guess this post is just that... But I don't have a problem with your opinion, just the way it is voiced. This site regularly features passing tumbleweed these days, purely down to the negative bullshit (not you in particular, just en masse) imposed on anyone who likes something someone else does not. Start your own thread saying whatever the hell you like, preferably in your own forum. But constantly degrading bands with no real argument (everywhere) is tiring.

Oh, and Slayer are shit.

WORD !

well they aint, but good post regardless !

In my opinion pointless things like this are the reason this site is dead in the water. If I came on and saw that... i'd split. Good on you Orgs.

Orgs, I read the initial post and thought it was sailing close to the wind with regard to the impartiallity of running this sort of website.

And then I thought FUCK IT

You can go on a power rant just like everyone else does. Captain had one about me and a few others having a dig at KIGH. I still love him like, but its just a difference of opinion.

To be honest, I came back on this thread to defend musical integrity, as been as im off to a festival tomorrow involving 50 bands most people on here have never heard of and will probably shift about as many records combined over the course of their careers as Angel and Airwaves did last week.

Shifting units vs Changing lives. Its a tough call. Im gonna go for integrity, as I believe music soundtracks lives, its not just background noise to throw a shape to when im steaming. Dont get me wrong, love the cheese like, but bands who really BELIEVE in what they do, not just doing it for celebrity or kudos.

Nothing quite like a good ding dong to get some hits on here!! lol I mite redeem the thread about PWK winning battle of the bands 04 now, or the one when I get called a racist.

Im fucking controversial for a middle class fat lad hey!!

(JOKE - I WILL NOT BE REDEEMING ANY THREADS OF A SORT. PLUS I QUITE LIKE CHAOS TRIGGER, SO Technically im a convert. LIKEWISE, I WILL NOT BE CALLING CHRISTIANO RONALDO ANYTHING OTHER THAN A VERY GIFTED FOOTBALLER WHO GOT SERVED BY GATTUSO)

I don't think I came accross quite as I meant to. I wasn't saying bands who get signed or tour are the better bands, I was saying that the proof is in the pudding. If you have less fans, less sales, no deal e.t.c. you are clearly less sucessful than them (those with fans, sales and deals e.t.c.), in a commercial sense at least. There's no point being bitter because bands play the game - at the end of the day if you don't like the game you don't play. If you don't play you can't win. Just the way it is unfortunately. I'm not saying it's right, but bitching on a forum aint gonna change it.

Not everyone thinks what Miss Conduct have achieved is 'success'. They are hardly a creative success - I don't see what they are contributing to music in the big scale of life and art. from what I have heard they have no new ideas they are basically imitating the sound of the other bands on the label but putting a new spin on it by having a female vocalist.

They seem to be riding the welsh clone wave.

If people want to make money out of music carry on but don't be sucked in by marketing and promoters who see bands as making a fast buck and riding on the hype. it's all MONEY can't you smell it!?

Just remember... believe it or not everyone has the same yardstick for measuring success ...

so thats one more for changing lives (cheers Bron), anybody else?

I cant dig at Miss Conduct, KIGH et al. They write chart bothering pop music which will enrich people lives, if only for a short while. Yes, its a dirty, dog eat dog BUSINESS they entering, and I hope they come out on top.

yes I hope they make millions and continue to spew their rubbish music to the globe lol

and going back to Orgsey's post about local bands not gettin decent gigs coz they aren't god enough etc... that is a fair enough point on the surfance but it's not true really.

I saw a really cool band last week playing in a squat (www.myspace.com/apocalipstix) to 30 intense critical anarchist crusty types - this band would never be on a Full Ponty bill or equivalent (and they are shit hot - they truly rock!!!) ...
just like Miss Conduct could never play an underground squat gig to people who are wise to capitalism and all that - they would be lynched!

i dont enough crusties Bron, can you hook me up?

They make kids happy. They take kids that would otherwise listen to utter fucking shit listen to something that is at the end of the day far more musical than your average pop song. Now listen... I am not a fan. Totally not my thing. The bird can sing. Like fuck. Fact.

They write good pop songs. It's not utter shit.

The boys in that band have played the toilet circuit for years and years and years. I don't recall ever hearing one of them whinge about bands getting something because they put effort and energy into something.

I've always said if it isn't a positive then it certainly is a negative.

I'm not about to turn up at a Miss Conduct show and check them out but we played this show with them and a lot of people turned out to see them. A lot more than turned out to see us. This tells me one thing. They have put more work in than us.

It's like an ethical, green company like alpro soya turning round and whinging that more idiots buy and drink milk than is fucking sensible. It doesn't make sense.

Where as is if said underground played at a miss conduct show they would be given ears and at least 30 seconds to dazzle the audience... more than anyone can ask for I believe.

Being an extreme anything is ... unfathomable to me.
