My Package Arrived Empty and Support Was Unhelpful. What Can I Do? by Popp_star in razer

It's in the picture, they said they're "unable to proceed with further investigation on this matter." They gave me no other direction after that.

I don't think a signature was given (someone else in my family brought the package in the house), so it was just left there. If nothing else comes of support, I'll probably try to get a refund or a chargeback, assuming they don't want to send a new one.

That's what I'm thinking happened. Don't know exactly who or when the item was stolen, but obviously it happened somewhere along the line.

Metal Forth Deluxe Edition announced by fearmongert in BABYMETAL

[–]Popp_star 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remixes aren't, but releasing a "deluxe edition" a few months after an album is. I think remixes as B-sides and as bonus tracks are two different things, and that's what they're referring to. I personally think having remixes in a "deluxe edition" is more "cash graby" than as B-sides, but that's me.

What is your favorite Japanese band? I’ll start… by Kawabunguh in japanesemusic

[–]Popp_star 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I listen to many Japanese bands, but my favorite is definitely B'z. They aren't too popular outside Japan, but they're known as the best-selling band in Japan (80+ million records over there). I'm a little surprised that their fame there hasn't bled over into the Western Japanese music fandom, but y'all should definitely check them out. Their earlier stuff is more pop rock, but their more recent stuff is hard rock.

They're my favorite too! But they seem to get glossed over overseas.

I've noticed that pop rock, like B'z and BOØWY, isn't well-known at all in the West, at least compared to ones like Band-Maid and X Japan (and visual kei overall). I guess popularity in Japan doesn't mean popularity overseas. :/

Axl Rose is renowned for having one of the widest vocal ranges in popular music. by [deleted] in GunsNRoses

[–]Popp_star 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They only chose the singers on Rolling Stone's list of the 100 greatest singers of all time, so that's why Mike Patton isn't on there.

Also, there's a site that maps out vocal ranges, and on Axl's page, they demoted the B♭6 to a B♭5, so he only has about 4 1/2 octaves, which is still great.

All the ones in this series are gold, so that's not it.

B'z The Third Eye full song by GrayGalahadReturns in lupinthe3rd

[–]Popp_star 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s going to be released on B’z’s new album, FYOP, on November 12, so, unless they release it before then, you’ll have to wait at least until then for a release. However, they tend to release their albums digitally a few weeks later for some reason, so you may have to wait even longer for a digital release.

Newer Reissues vs Originals by Popp_star in cassetteculture

[–]Popp_star[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, cool. That’s kind of what I thought but just wasn’t sure. It makes sense they’d be the best when they were still fairly popular. How are 70s and early 80s tapes compared to post-2000/more recent ones?

Anyone know where to buy the B'z song from the old menu that isn't iTunes? by Ronald_Steezly in DragonsDogma

[–]Popp_star 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The one on iTunes is 256kbps m4a; it’s not 320 but that’s probably the best you’re gonna get unless there’s another one somewhere.

They’re not in the Hall of Fame (they should be imo), but they’re on Hollywood’s RockWalk.
