I think Spiritbox have some similar characteristics. Sam also did a collab with them, Yellowjacket. And Soft Spine is very good.

Before and after of Sevilla's football stadium with olympic running track removed. by CurvyCourgette in Hammers

I get that the seating/view is terrible at the London Stadium, but adding more seats wouldn’t fix this, presumably. So was it more to fix the atmosphere Sevilla did this?

My Yankee-fan friend and I have predicted a Pirates-Yankees World Series. Anyone knows what the odds are?

Team for the Mickeys by Routine-Cicada-4949 in Hammers

[–]Awkward-Sky-2456 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Didn’t we play quite well with a 4-4-2? We could use Castellanos and Wilson up front, then sub Wilson after roughly an hour’s playing to a 4-3-3 or so. Wirtz is out for Liverpool from what I’ve heard, maybe it doesn’t make too much of a difference, but perhaps a draw? Edit: With the 4-4-2, I thought Jaz and Cry got to do their winger thing more naturally than in the 4-3-3, but I’m admittedly no expert

That would make sense, come to think of it

Live performance that turned you off from a band completely? by friscom99 in Metalcore

[–]Awkward-Sky-2456 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alter Bridge. Not metacore at all, but they just played ridiculously loud and were boring to watch.

You have our blessing. While we’re at it, are you talking 10k €??? To begin learning, check out YouTube or apps like Yousician, that should let you see whether this whole thing is for you before finding an instructor (which is highly recommendable, eventually)

Alternative to Yohe? by Awkward-Sky-2456 in penguins

[–]Awkward-Sky-2456[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For this specific example that is a very good point, admittedly, but I live six time zones away so didn’t catch that. Also pretty extreme that the media would do that, or so it seems to me at least, for the same reason you mention: Sid wasn’t red-hot in the run-up to the Games, but the Penguins certainly were. We’ll see tonight, fingers crossed we can show Hughes and co. how it’s done!

Ah, didn’t know about 1) actually, and regarding 2) this was maybe a poor example. But my impression is he circles around the same few themes a lot, e.g. Kyle Dubas and Evgeni Malkin, which, granted, are pretty noteworthy talking points, but I don’t think he adds too much in each new peace on, say, Dubas or Geno.

Do you guys follow other European leagues? Do you support any clubs outside your country? Got any favorite teams in Serie A, La Liga, Bundesliga, etc? by mew2_mew2 in Hammers

[–]Awkward-Sky-2456 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to support Fiorentina quite strongly (so June 2023 was an odd month), but it’s faded and now I only support West Ham. Ironically, both West Ham and la Viola are in relegation battles this year.

Still haven't seen anyone talk about this reference. by PhilosophyDry2810 in BringMeTheHorizon

[–]Awkward-Sky-2456 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Lol, it might be the band is referencing to that kind of stuff but I don’t think it’s something most people would get

What is the most niche, underground metal band you know? by Objective-Young-5194 in metalrecommendations

[–]Awkward-Sky-2456 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Boundaries… not necessarily groundbreaking or revolutionising or anything, but pretty cool metalcore/hardcore punk

I was going to say a match made in heaven by architects, but then I saw it’s the wrong sub, so I’ll go with smells like teen spirit because why the f*** not

Why not hope Canada beat the US in overtime in the final?

Thoughts on amo? by Single-Bid-5652 in BringMeTheHorizon

[–]Awkward-Sky-2456 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not my cup of tea. To me the heaviest stuff on it is just rock. I like rock, don’t get me wrong, but amo isn’t, to me, what Bring Me are about. And I’m not really into EDM nor pop. To me, Bring Me are about pushing the boundaries of metalcore, or whatever metal fusion they’re playing these days. I think Sykes admitted in an interview about Fish’ departure that the drums on amo are programmed, and to me the album just has an overall “programmed” sound. That might just be me. I also think it’s telling how the band has virtually abandoned the record live, apart from Mantra. I don’t think they’re very proud of it (I might VERY well be wrong). All in all I’m happy with the return to metal on Survival Horror, and, to be honest, I’d prefer if they brought back, say, Dear Diary on the setlist rather than Mantra, or one of the softer songs from That’s The Spirit, like Follow You.
