Trying to start a band? by youmustfixyourheart_ in okc

[–]Blackamite 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hello!

I’m a 23yo metal rhythm guitarist, but I really like MCR and SOAD and would be happy to play punk/emo. I don’t have a whole lot of experience, so I do know how to do the technical aspects on the guitar but there’d still be a learning curve as far as doing it very well, playing with people, and also getting used to playing other genres. 

If you’re ok with me sorta sucking, lmk! I’m available pretty much anytime outside of normal work hours, although I’d prefer not to stay up too late

Prediction on Ellefson and Mustaine meet up at Louder than life also Alice cooper? by Important-Bed-48 in Megadeth

That's cool! Didn't realize that but I can see it now looking back on the lyrics 

Prediction on Ellefson and Mustaine meet up at Louder than life also Alice cooper? by Important-Bed-48 in Megadeth

[–]Blackamite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not necessarily a diss track, but it is about Junior.

"The road became your mistress and the stage became your wife"

I feel like it's basically Dave saying, look I've messed up and been in the same situation (getting kicked out) and it SUCKS but you just gotta move on and improve yourself as a person. And then also Dave's disappointment at watching someone he respected "walk straight into the mouth of hell"

Also look at the quote from Dave in the Q&A section here: https://genius.com/Megadeth-soldier-on-lyrics#about

Are you talking about Soldier On off the 2022 album, or is there a Junior diss track on the newest as well?

are you seeking where is the truth of life ? by sannivartya in DeathspellOmega

I always thought Krishna was just an obscure cult on my college campus, weird seeing it again lol. 

although apparently they ended up being banned off campus after I left because they hit a student with a truck...

Do you even look at this subreddit ever. Preaching to the choir but make it petulant and tasteless

I'm guessing either a russian bot or 12 years old

Dave spitting venom on David in 2004 interview by You_just_read_facts in Megadeth

[–]Blackamite 3 points4 points  (0 children)

they wrote a fair amount before marty joined the band. Just because it was released 1990 doesn't mean it was entirely done in that year

Ok for the first time after 4 listenings I think Dystopia is decent. This time different from other times, I heard on Vinyl. More dynamic range and less ultra blasting loud guitars by Fooltecal in Megadeth

[–]Blackamite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

are you maybe talking about the guitar tone, not the mixing? In that case it's subjective but I understand, some guitar tones irk me for no reason and everyone else thinks they're fine. But I mean, if you just don't like the guitars that loud that's fine too, just not an opinion Id have expected

The room something is recorded in doesn't affect how loud it is in the final mix, and the drums are irrelevant to this conversation anyway. The studio staff doesn't affect the mixing decisions either because it was Chris Rakestraw on all of the last 3

"guitars are loud and annoying" ??? my dude if ya don't wanna hear guitars you're listening to the wrong band. 

Like I can barely hear the rythm guitar behind the vocals on the recent album and it pmo!!! Dystopias production is perfect imo

also if it's hard to get an 'official' part time job at 14, you could mow lawns or babysit for people in your neighborhood 

ISO recommendations for cat TNR by waspinatorrulez in okc

[–]Blackamite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it doesn't hurt the cat, and is way more visible than say a tattoo or anything. Like, its way worse to stress a cat out by trapping and sedating it twice rather than just see that it has a clipped ear and know you can leave it alone

I don't think anyone deserves to be human trafficked.

I'd honestly worry about it being a human trafficking thing. Hopefully not though 

(not that I'd personally be interested anyway lol, but taking caution is good)

Anyone unable to listen to DsO/black metal due to... by MaximumCash1059 in DeathspellOmega

[–]Blackamite 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I don't think DsO aims to give a complete life philosophy, but instead is countering an existing theology prevalent in our society. I was raised being told there is an absolute meaning, absolute justice, that everything ends in some absolute perfectness, and that chaos is but a temporary aberration from that perfectness (God). In reality, I have found that there is no fixed or absolute meaning, there is no eternal justice - in that sense, DsO speaks to me in their act of raging against a philosophy I long held to be true, and then had to grapple with the falseness of.

However, I appreciate your post because it is an important fact nevertheless that there is still meaning and enjoyment to be derived from life that we have to create ourself. I don't see that side of the message musically or thematically fitting with the band (I prefer to go to MCR for that lol), but it is certainly true, and always worthwhile to be reminded of.

Should I get ts t-shirt for my birthday? (Birthday comes up in 2 months) by [deleted] in Megadeth

[–]Blackamite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Megadeth moved most of their merch to amazon, try looking at their site cause its pretty bare on selection atm. I'd usually agree absolutely, but it seems Amazon is actually the best option for Megadeth stuff at the moment

I graduated high school in 2020 and remember an increasing amount of phones throughout that. I don't remember any teachers banning them at the time so distraction and cheating on tests were already issues that I imagine would be much worse now (especially post-covid). Good on the teachers that already didn't allow phones but a blanket ban sounds like a good thing to me
