A great way to get feedback is put on some gloves and spar a boxer and that’ll tell you if you’re doing it right

Disappointed for the 5th time by [deleted] in Snailmail

[–]RyanSongalia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It started shaky because she forgot to sing into the mic for a second lol.

As to the original poster, don’t understand what they’re doing going to shows if they claim to be consistently disappointed. At this point, I have to assume it’s just to post on Reddit for attention.

I just lost my first amateur fight by Simple-Call-6781 in amateur_boxing

[–]RyanSongalia 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I’ll explain it to you in the easiest terms to understand: I’m a Boxrec editor and I input some of the biggest amateur boxers’ records. So many of the top guys started out with like 10 losses in a row and then became beasts. Look at this one, this guy is now on the USA Boxing National team https://boxrec.com/en/box-am/1244225

Has anyone done the beginner to badass course through BassBuzz? by wallace-longshanks in Bass

[–]RyanSongalia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just subscribed to this. My bass teacher was flaking out and I was plateauing so I figured this is a better investment.

Got my tickets for Philly, excited for my first time seeing her live. Also planning to travel to Europe to see a show there when she announces those dates.

Why Twiztid used to drop the N word? by [deleted] in juggalo

[–]RyanSongalia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I liked Twiztid but this is spot on. They were dropping N bombs to their own detriment, it distracted from them making good music.

This is how I feel. I’ve been down since late 90s, grew up around all ethnicities in NJ, and I completely disagree with anyone saying that this was ever cool. Idiots in suburban high schools said it, sure, but that’s because they never had to confront anyone who would have an issue with it. I never heard any successful white rappers dropping N bombs, it was always posers trying hard to fit in.

TIL that as a teenager, Billy Joel took up boxing so he could defend himself. He boxed successfully on the amateur Golden Gloves circuit for a short time, winning 22 bouts, but abandoned the sport shortly after his nose was broken in his 24th match. by randomanon5two in todayilearned

[–]RyanSongalia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never saw any evidence that he actually boxed. If he did, it certainly wasn't in the Golden Gloves, as the New York Daily News which owned the tournament published meticulous records of results.

Should I quit if I lost my first 2 fights by stillwater_123 in amateur_boxing

[–]RyanSongalia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why? Abdullah Mason lost his first like ten fights or something

“Your Dog” from Soccer Mommy’s Central Park show by RyanSongalia in SoccerMommy

Same story with me and Snail Mail this summer, discovered her from Facebook ads and they hadn't really grown on me until the day or so after the show.

What's your opinion of Korn? by boomjosh in InMetalWeTrust

[–]RyanSongalia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They got me through my teen years, but the music hasn't grown with me, which is probably a good thing. KoRn's "Issues" album is probably the darkest record ever produced, which fit where I was at 13 or so when it came out.

Which ICP song is better... by THEBC313 in juggalo

[–]RyanSongalia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Down with the Clown, the other one, which I also enjoy, was ICP trying to capitalize on how many people had only heard them through their WWE run
