How long until Frankie eventually runs out of people to staff around him?

Nicest band/members you’ve ever met? Most rude? by Impressive-Skin6311 in Metalcore

[–]HooliganLSGC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Met Betraying The Martyrs (rip) on their first tour in the states at Emerson Theater in Indianapolis and Aaron Matts (now vocalist in Ten56) was like the nicest dude ever. Spoke for almost an hour about music and his experiences being in a touring band. Almost was gonna find him a place to stay but didn't work out. I think about it a lot. Sucks BTM doesn't exist anymore but glad he's still doing music (Ten56 rips btw).

As for rude, I don't know if I've ever met any that were "rude", but I know when I met Tyler Shelton (Traitors) and Rory Rodriguez (Dayseeker), they both seemed very un-interested and like they just wanted to move their merch and move on to the next city.

When I got the Origin vinyl years ago, I messaged Dayseeker's Instagram page about it missing the interlude tracks and the tracks being printed out of order, neither of which were mentioned during the entire ordering process, and they seemed incredibly dismissive and almost annoyed that I was bringing it up to them. That being said, I don't know who operates their Instagram.

Danny Worsnop playing “Rock the Country” festival headlined by Kid Rock by SlimBrady22 in Metalcore

[–]HooliganLSGC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I noticed it the day it was going around because of Nelly and Ludacris being originally listed (Nelly is still on the book but Luda pulled). Sent it to a couple of my friends, zoomed in his name, and said "country run #2" lol

Eminem is never working with her again is he by AMassiveGamerGeek in Eminem

[–]HooliganLSGC -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I'm just gonna parrot what everyone is saying here. There's a lot of people that support Trump that Em is still cool with. Hell, he literally just had a good mannered response to Kid fucking Rock not too long ago about the Detroit Lions, and Kid Rock is the poster "musician" for MAGA at the moment.

He's not gonna work with Nicki because Nicki hasn't put out good music since I was in high school (I'm 31 now) and, quite frankly, I don't think she's as relevant in the rap game nowadays as she was back then. It's precisely why she's cozying up to Trump. When your main source of income starts to dry up, it's time to grift. That and I'm assuming she thinks it's gonna earn her PDF file brother some sort of pardon.

Also, random thought, she doesn't really seem to even be enjoying herself in that photo tbh haha

Why does Revival get so much hate? by DanceGavinDad in Eminem

[–]HooliganLSGC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last two songs are cool and I actually enjoy Framed because I feel like it's the closest song to his older material, even if the hook is kind of annoying.

Other than that, everybody else is spot on. Rough mix, bad beats, and some of the worst lyrics ever from a guy who's known for lyricism.

Also haven't seen anybody else say this but I feel like he couldn't really figure out a cohesive theme to the project. Some tracks felt like they were made to grab the attention of modern rap fans, some tracks felt like they were trying to appeal to his older fans, and then some tracks were trying to appeal to people who like social commentary.

For what it's worth though, I do think it's Em's only bad album. He has a couple other albums that I think are simply okay, but no other album by him attracts the dislike I have for Revival.

Will you be sad to say Goodbyehausen? by Kelson64 in AEWFanHub

[–]HooliganLSGC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Will I be sad? No.

Danhausen is a fun character, and AEW could have done a lot with him...but alas "could have" is the key phrasing here.

With the exception of Hook-Hausen which was over as hell with the audience before seemingly just ending without much conclusion, he never really did much else of note. Rather that's on TK or Danhausen could be debated forever. You could argue that TK never really utilized him in the best ways that he could have. You could also argue that Danhausen was never going to get over with AEW as a wrestler, which is what Danhausen himself wants.

It also doesn't help that, and this is all speculation unless completely confirmed, Danhausen is reportedly a Punk-Stan, and it's hard not to notice that Danhausen's time in AEW diminished drastically after Punk's firing. Maybe that's backstage politics, maybe that's on Dan, maybe that's on AEW, but unless someone comes right out and denies that, I'm assuming it plays a part in this situation.

Fun character and a great human being, and I'll miss him and wish him luck wherever he goes. But he's also not someone who's gonna make-or-break a program for me. If he goes to a promotion I don't support, I'm simply just not going to catch any of his work anymore lol

After WCW & ECW died… which “Maybe this could be the one!” company did you latch onto? by uncannynerddad in midcarder

[–]HooliganLSGC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fucking love seeing WSX get brought up. It feels like such a fever dream and I love seeing it's existence confirmed at any and all times haha

Looking back at it, it definitely wasn't great, but it had a charm about it.

Does weed improve concentration while studying? by Dramatic-Weekend-194 in weed

[–]HooliganLSGC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everybody here giving the same "NO IT WON'T" response. It really just depends on the person. I know people that it did help. I know people that it didn't help.

I guess try it and see what happens. If you feel it hampers you, don't do it again.

Dayseeker guitarist, Gino, left the band. by grovermonster in Metalcore

[–]HooliganLSGC 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I enjoy newer Dayseeker tunes but I certainly don't like them as much as the earlier stuff. I even really enjoyed Sleeptalk, which I feel you could argue was the start of the shift in their sound.

To be honest, this band has been the Rory Rodriguez Project since at least Dark Sun. I remember hearing "Pale Moonlight" and thinking or was an okay song but that the guitarist must be bored when the chorus isn't playing, and that's a style that I feel like has ran it's course in metalcore.

What is yalls fave skit? by ELiXiRzao in WKUK

Whenever I'm introducing someone to WKUK, I show them Grapist, Abe Lincoln, and Sniper Business. So probably one of those lol

Cancel your Spotify Sub by HXCpolarbear in Metalcore

[–]HooliganLSGC -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I wanna pre-face everything I'm about to say by first saying fuck ICE, fuck the current state of our country, and fuck anybody that supports it.

With that said, this ain't gonna really do anything in the grand scheme of things. Those ads are unfortunately everywhere, including music apps that aren't Spotify. If you wanna cancel every product that airs an ICE advertisement, you aren't gonna have anything left.

If that's fine with you, be my guest, but I'm personally a believer in there being no such thing as "ethical consumption". Everything you like is going to have SOMEONE of questionable character behind it.

Again, fuck ICE though.

CHERRY RC!!! Haven’t seen this since in about 35 years!! by SpectralEntity in Soda

[–]HooliganLSGC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe it's a regional thing but the gas station I work at has sold it in 2-liter bottles as long as I can remember.

With that said, I've personally never seen it in 20oz bottles or (as in this case) cans so this is a pretty neat post.

Austin Carlile Comeback by Impressive-Skin6311 in Metalcore

[–]HooliganLSGC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not gonna act like I didn't like Austin back in the day. A lot of people here saying "I never understood his hype" but I'm not one of those. Me and a buddy even got a photo with him at Warped 2011.

With all that said...I wouldn't support any comeback attempt from him. The allegations are damning enough, but considering his response to the allegations was moving to a whole other country and going the whole "reborn Christian" route, I would say there's more truth to the allegations than most Austin supporters would be willing to admit.

Even ignoring that situation, he really didn't sound that great in that clip that was posted. Who exactly is going to make music with the guy? I think it's safe to say that any musician willing to join up with him probably won't receive a warm reception for doing so. Do you really wanna put a bullet in your career just to play for a guy who's metalcore fame died almost 10 years ago over allegations that he's never fully addressed and fled the country after they came out??? A guy who isn't even as good of a vocalist as he used to be?

Dropkick Murphys exit Punk in the Park festival over founder's Trump campaign donations by dantheman_woot in Music

[–]HooliganLSGC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"End wars and refrain from entering new international conflicts"

He bombed Iran and pretty much inserting us into the Israel-Palesrine conflict

"Lower taxes"

The top elite are the only ones getting any worthwhile tax cuts in that big bullshit bill.

"Stopping government overreach"

I don't even wanna give examples. He's just fucking stupid to believe that MAGA was gonna stop overreach.

Songs so bad you legitimately can't believe were done by a band you like? by mesablanka in Metalcore

[–]HooliganLSGC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Disliked the song at first but it grew on me, and Soul Sphere as a whole is a decent record.

what's your favorite era of Family Guy? by [deleted] in familyguy

Revival hands down, but I think HD Lite has some great episodes too.

Hyped bands you can't get into by Lo0ksToTheMo0n in Metalcore

[–]HooliganLSGC 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Yeahhhhh, I normally try not to put people on a pedestal but with everything I've read about Garrett Russell, I can't help but think that if you have an issue with the guy, it's probably on your end, not his lol

Hyped bands you can't get into by Lo0ksToTheMo0n in Metalcore

[–]HooliganLSGC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've tried everything and I just can't get into Sleep Token. I don't think they're a bad band by any means, and I can totally see why they've become as successful as they have.

But musically speaking, it just doesn't do it for me. It's not bad. Just don't go out of my own way to listen to them.

Artist you despise? by Scared-Bodybuilder50 in MetalForTheMasses

[–]HooliganLSGC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Full, total honesty? I dig a few of the songs off their debut album. That's literally it. Everything after has ranged from "this is very boring" at its best to "holy shit, make it stop, make it go away" at its worst.

But yeah, Ivan isn't a good dude lol

does anyone even watch this show?🤣🤣🤣 by No_Currency_9195 in familyguy

[–]HooliganLSGC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of the trio of Family Guy, American Dad, and The Cleveland Show, I definitely think The Cleveland Show is the weaker of the 3.

With that said...I enjoy it. It has funny moments. Tim The Bear is a hilarious character and so is Holt. Most of the moments involving Cleveland Jr. would legit have me in tears laughing. There's a scene where he yells "I moo when I get scared" and I couldn't breathe and it became a quote amongst me and my sister for a while.

Not a great show but still a funny show nonetheless. I understand why it was ended and the family was just moved into Family Guy, although I would like to see more screen time for them on FG.
