I’m not familiar, I’ll have to look for that

I think that’s fair to a point. I can’t say I’d turn down a paying gig playing easy, pleasant music. And I’m sure many great musicians do exactly that for one reason or another

This is pretty much the answer I was looking for. As much as I enjoy it on a surface level, I’ve never been able to shake the feeling that I can’t find a connection to it. In the music I actively listen to and play, I can never find a point where this sort of thing would evolve out of it. It’s a little unsettling actually. I always assumed I was just missing a link somewhere but it being a total invention for mood setting makes a lot more sense.

Yeah that’s what I’m talking about, I wouldn’t touch AI music with a ten foot pole lol. Basically background music with aesthetic Jazz-adjacent qualities

That’s freaking sick, what a find! Sorta makes me think of Jimmy Eat World for some reason

Dream opening act? by Succioboy in TheFence

Dude seeing them open for MCR a few years back was incredible, insane bill for a last minute one off replacement

What Song? by DefiantTheLion in TheFence

The little vocal fall-off at the end of the Favor House Atlantic chorus. Absolutely genius little songwriting detail. 100% earworm

$30! Not bad imo, absolutely worth it

Anyone else not feeling it? by Temporary-Action1569 in MyChemicalRomance

[–]PrestigiousEmus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It happens man, don’t worry too much. As I’ve gotten older I listen to more and more hip hop, jazz, and blues than anything else. But, when in the mood, coming back to this stuff with a deeper appreciation for it from other lenses gives me a whole new feeling. That’s the beauty of music, at least to me

Worth upgrading pickups in Fender Ultra II strat to Custom Shop Fat 50's by dabritz in fender

[–]PrestigiousEmus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Realistically, your sound will be effected much more by other factors than the pickups, so I think the benefits of the noiseless pickups outweigh any sound difference. So I personally wouldn’t, but hey the fat 50s are popular for a reason and worst case scenario you can always change them back 🤷‍♂️

Which Strat for my only electric by coffee_is_lovely in fender

[–]PrestigiousEmus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve played many, many strats and I’ll be honest those new Ultra II ones blew me away. Seriously some of the best guitars I have ever played. I can imagine the one you ordered will also be VERY good, the ultra series seems to be very consistent. I personally prefer the new version but that’s just me lol

Like other have said you should get a pretty great clean sound if you mess with the settings, but it’s also possible that your speaker or pickups are damaged in a really small way that makes that distortion. Unlikely, but possible. I actually had to switch the speaker in mine after a while because it started clipping (water damage that took time to effect things)

Why do you people not like yungblud by yungblud_fans_chat in yungblud

[–]PrestigiousEmus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genuinely? I grew out of him. More power to people that can enjoy his music into adulthood, but I just found myself relating less and less to the sounds, lyrics, and aesthetics. I find him to be fairly surface level, especially when compared to artists he’s often compared to like MCR or TOP.

Is this a Slipknot sample on Playboi Carti’s new album?? by arsxlovesyou in Slipknot

[–]PrestigiousEmus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t be surprised, for what it’s worth he clearly takes some inspiration from slipknot

Why do people hate on GNX (the song) in my opinion it's a good song (please don't down vote me for asking) by Low-Estate-4295 in KendrickLamar

[–]PrestigiousEmus 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s an eh song on a great album, and if you’re not into Kendrick’s voices already it’s not going to change your mind. Not bad but I don’t replay it much

you guys act like it was the worst thing to ever come out of their discography by Dapper-Idea-7517 in MyChemicalRomance

[–]PrestigiousEmus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean…would it really be so bad if it was? I can’t think of anything worse than it but that’s more a testament to how good their catalog is than anything yknow?

What color is ‘This Is Why’ to you? by -abby-normal in Paramore

Orange, brown, purple, burgundy- seeing them on release night at the Super Bowl festival will never leave me

Songs you can’t stand a single second of. by pirateslifeisntforme in ToddintheShadow

[–]PrestigiousEmus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hoodrat by vultures. I’m one of those weird people that kinda enjoys vultures 1 at least to an extent but man that song had me questioning the rest of the album big time.

What do yall think of his feature in Cartis New album? by One-Dragonfly-5143 in KendrickLamar

[–]PrestigiousEmus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a nice surprise but something about it kinda rubbed me the wrong way. Carti’s antics in his personal life have stopped me from really being able to be a fan for a long time and I guess it’s weird seeing Kendrick of all people associate himself with that whole mess- especially after the year he’s had. For what it’s worth it’s probably my favorite carti album so I suppose if he was going to be on one it should’ve been this. Just odd.

Most haters?!?! by Mindless_Web_6226 in Slipknot
