How to put me off your band on MySpace.

1) In the Influences section, put things like 'Old Gameboys', 'Pokemon' and 'Catchphrase with Roy Walker'.

2) In the Sounds Like section, put something like: 'Cyber punks vomiting onto your ears' or 'Pikachu with a pnumatic drill'.

Also, when there's like a picture in the About Me section that's a collage of a load of totally crazy and totally random objects, and bright colours.

Sickening.



  • gah, look.

    if My Chemical Romance wish to show their happier side, then who the hell are you to complain? eh? well? huh?

  • *shrug*

    • Dont be....

      So stuck up, a lil fun in music always is plesent to see bands that dont take themselves so seriously that they loose touch with a lil humour, bad or not I dont care if i see stuff like that.

      • Stuck up?

        I'm all for bands not taking themselves too seriously, but its that entire subculture that just makes me ill.

        I'll list things involved in it:

        -Keyboards
        -Random big bright pink glasses with no glass
        -Big caps with flat brims
        -London
        -Horrible posh students
        -'Random' things
        -etc.

        Yes. See.

        • *shrug*

        • I agree. 'Arty music' maaan

          I mean, my band are stuck up, but we look like nobs in big glasses and we can't play the keyboard.

          So it's OK!

        • keyboards

          are a subculture thing now?

          I though they were just

          keyboards

        • nothing wrong with metal

          but 16 year old boys who like metal tend to hate everything else.

          I did.

  • like this?

    • omg.

      That picture that shows on the player when the first song comes on... two fists and an old 80's stereo in front of rainbow colours...

      That basically sums it up. Yes.

      I hate them more than I hate Muse. I want to execute them all.

      • so young...

        and so full of hate...

        • He's the future.

          Gawd bless him.

          Get em hating young I say!

      • and yet

        tigerforce are fucking awesome, and that page actually works as a visual representation of their music.

        • RIGHT ON!

        • and...

          i hadn't heard that "send in the evolution" track before, and i really like it. so thanks a lot guntrip.

        • Fucking awesome,

          in that they're really cool for about 10 minutes, until the next fad comes along and they're boring.

          Although you're all Kasabian and Razorlight (et al) slaggers, their substance will last much longer than these piss-poor nobodies. They'll produce one album with daddy's money, then they'll go back to working in call centres.

          • well

            i think you're wrong. that's all.

          • their substance habits?

            ?

          • Did you get out of the wrong side of the bed this morning?

            All your posts I've read today seem very misanthropic.

          • uh

            "Although you're all Kasabian and Razorlight (et al) slaggers, their substance will last much longer than these piss-poor nobodies. They'll produce one album with daddy's money, then they'll go back to working in call centres."

            ignoring your comment about 'daddy's money, since when has longevity made the music that Kasabian and Razorlight any better?

            how many albums have U2 had? does that make them of higher quality than..say..The Arcade Fire?

            Tiger Force ARE awesome, who gives a shit if they produce one album and go back to working in call centres, i'd much rather listen to that one album than any future albums Razorlight and Kasabian will release, because they are bound to be dirgeful mindless shit.

            • shush

              go away and listen to some paul weller. THAT'S REAL SONGWRITING, RIGHT THERE!

      • get lost

        tiger force are lovely

    • although,

      tiger force are actually pretty great.

      • yes :)

        i'm reallllllllly looking forward to their album. i have a couple of their 7"s (my copy of syntax error has a deer shooting lasers out of it's eyes on the front) but no record player. boo.

        • i bet they've been discussed on a proper recommendation thread before

          and yet i only listen to them now. good shit!

          • :D

            their album is out april 9th, apparently.

            • tempted

              it would be just the right side of an impulse buy. i have good experiences with this.

  • Music Taste: Metal

    That says it all really hahaha.

    • He just loves metal

      It isn't a crime sir, I say it isn't a crime.

    • except you look down at his ratings

      and none of them are metal

      • Because he only wrote that to get just the reaction above.

        Jesus, when will people realise you waste your time taking his posts seriously.

        If a serious issue is raised as a result (see the 'mixed race' thread on the social board) by all means debate it seriously.

        But falling into the trap letting him think he's the indie Jeremy Clarkson but 'debating' with him on threads like this is really pointless. :D

  • I really doubt they care

    If you don't like the look of their page then you're probably not going to like or but their music any way so you're not the market their going for I would guess.

  • anyone want to form a band

    called Cyber Punk Pikachu Vomit? Influences will be "Roy Walker playing a gameboy".

  • Yeah, I hate it when people employ random irony

    just to seem cooler, like claiming to be 'influenced by Pokemon' and saying they like Metal when they clearly don't...

    • I love TigerForce dearly

      but I would add them to the 'how to lose friends on myspace thread' under - don't have a homepage that causes my computer to seize up when I click on it.

      • Yeah

        Tiger Force are fucking immense.

        • How to put me off your band on Myspace

          Have Oasis in your list of influences, usually guarantees tired, pompous, dire fourthrate wannabe anthemrock of no substance whatsoever. As soon as I see that I refuse them

          • same here

            it's the same with alot of bands.

            • hm

              hadouken! have got a myspace demonstrating every trait you hate - and yet they're the freshest new band in england..

              i don't love it, but better than a black and white photo of four northern lads in leather jacksts leaning against a garage and looking into middle distance

              • whoa! easy with the hyperbole!

                "and yet they're the freshest new band in england.." are you sure you haven't eaten an NME for breakfast?

                sorry, I isn't a hadoukem fan...

                • I didn't even realise nme liked them

                  just heard through blogs and seeing them live, I can't think of another band who are doing something so different, and releasing everything on their own label too

          • oasis are in my influences..

            but that's because i was obsessed with them when i was younger.

            i don't grow my hair exactly like them and wear camo jackets and sound like erm..the twang?

            www.myspace.com/samhuxley for proof of that.
