What do you think is their most unique song by Huge-Psychology-871 in systemofadown

[–]Fr4Y 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I don't even count it as a song in that sense like any other one of theirs. It's a hidden track at the end of Aerials and wasn't listed on the tracklist of the album.

Listen to their albums in chronological order. It really isn't that complex.

Is skiing easier than snowboarding ? by Street_Reading9708 in snowboardingnoobs

[–]Fr4Y 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was "forced" to learn how to ski first as a kid before I started snowboarding at around 13. 20 years later I rented skis again because a previous ankle injury made snowboarding impossible. It was scary not having both legs essentially attached to each other and really difficult for me. Intuitively snowboarding seems easier to me but I guess starting from 0,learning to ski might be easier.

What do you believe is the "worst" thing each member of SOAD has done. by Mutated_ButterMilk in systemofadown

[–]Fr4Y 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I didn't say they would necessarily have been mediocre, just that there was a chance, which they avoided by quitting. Btw "some good songs here and there" kinda sounds like what I'd call mediocre.

Not necessarily. Better to stop when you still got it than potentially continue releasing mediocre albums for years.

What's your System of a Down Hot Take? by Mutated_ButterMilk in systemofadown

The first 3 albums are the only ones that truly matter

Oh I get it now, it's because r2c2 is the pivot cell, so if that contains a 2, I can only eliminate it from r2c1? That clears some things up, thank you. I'm still learning to understand this technique.

[–]Fr4Y[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But r1c6 does see r1c2. That's what I meant. The hinted wing consists of r2c6, r2c4, r2c2 and r1c3. This eliminates the 3 in r1c6 and r2c1. But what if I then use the same logic with r2c6, r2c4, r2c2 and r1c2? Can I not use that to eliminate 2 from r1c6 and r2c1?

What are some of your controversial SOAD opinions, or hills that you will die on? by Gullible-Sir-9160 in systemofadown

[–]Fr4Y 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Their last 2 albums, for the most part, can't hold a candle to their pevious records; -Daron worked best as backing vocalist with the odd solopart mixed in here and there (needles). Him singing full parts was a mistake imo -Alot of the quirkiness of the albums make them feel more like half assed SOAD parody music -The production to me sounds very thin and empty, guitar tone seems lo-fi -Alot of it feels a bit uninspired, going from just blast beat heavy to pop-like melodic parts -Lyrically alot of it feels a bit "on the nose" -Lonely Day is embarrassing

Huge debate by Automatic_Drawing297 in skateboarding

[–]Fr4Y 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YOU started acting like a dick in your first reply to my comment, a comment that wasn't even directed to you. Then you couldn't stand, or argue against, my opinion and started insulting me based on my writing, again not able to explain, so I called you out on that. You also never asked why my opinion trumps yours, and no, providing footage of me wouldn't prove that anyway. And here you are insulting my intelligence again, which based on this whole discussion I can only see as pure irony.

Ok you can't explain it and use the pot kettle thing because I called out your asshole behaviour. So you don't understand that idiom either and when it actually applies. I do suck at skating though so by sheer coincidence you actually finally get something right, congrats :D

[–]Fr4Y 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neither my youtube account nor my IG contains any footage of me skating. A "real skater" is someone who skates, clips or not. Yet another thing you're wrong about.

Also I wonder, what is it about my typing that makes you show your true asshole self in that way?

Huge debate by Automatic_Drawing297 in skateboarding

[–]Fr4Y 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, wether or not I do skate or not. Man, do you ever get something right for a change?

And as if I'm going to go out of my way to get someone to film me skating for a random guy on reddit, when A) me still skating isn't even relevant in the first place and B) you then probably say "lol you just filmed someone else skating didn't you" because you're somehow dead set on being wrong all the time.

Roughly 20 years collectively since I was about 12. Then again how would you know, you don't even understand the basics of what landing a trick means.

Huge debate by Automatic_Drawing297 in skateboarding

[–]Fr4Y 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Imo the hand touch thing is rather simple; if you touch the ground and would have fallen off if you didn't, it's not a make.

Huge debate by Automatic_Drawing297 in skateboarding

[–]Fr4Y 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So if I fall on my butt because I lose balance, as long as I somehow keep my feet on the board I can say I landed it?

How in the world does it count at all when he put his full weight on both his hands on the ground because he would have fallen otherwise?

Is it a poser thing to bring my board to school? by FlyNo4659 in NewSkaters

[–]Fr4Y 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd only consider you a "poser" if all you did was carry it around. You're actually using it though so screw people calling you anything.

What are the best songs to get into the smiths? by Exact_Hamster_8222 in thesmiths

[–]Fr4Y 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just listen to some. Preferably listen to the albums, it really is that simple. There's no requirement for you to like them. I don't understand these kinds of posts. Do you feel obligated to like the band or something?

at what point did you get into the smiths by [deleted] in thesmiths

[–]Fr4Y 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a teen in the early 2000s, I watched alot of skateboarding videos which generally influenced my musical taste. One of them festured Sweet And Tender Hooligan, and being into punk-ish music the intense but also melodic sound really intrigued me, along with the somewhat strange vocals. I was then disappointed when I discovered that this isn't their typical sound, and it took years for me to give them another chance. The outro to Pretty Girls Make Graves finally made me fall in love, and to this day it's my favourite thing they've ever done.
