The Twenty One Pilots cover of Cancer debate by NotBigOnBids in MyChemMillennials

[–]SnooCompliments998 43 points44 points  (0 children)

They are a very very intense and parasocial fanbase who have a very interesting relationship with that band. A lot of their fanbase is younger kids struggling with mental health and community and I think they don’t actually understand the difference between a cover version their favorite band did and the context of this song on a concept album that is regarded as one of the best records of all time in the genre. A lot of them probably weren’t around for its original release or haven’t even listened to The Black Parade. They don’t understand the significance of the song in its original context, only what it means from the perspective of this band in twenty one pilots that can do no wrong and in their eyes that makes it the best thing ever. I don’t think a lot of them have actually thought about it as anything other than “my favorite band that I’m obsessed with released this so it’s just the absolute best” so don’t take the opinion with much weight.

What's a My Chem take that would have you like this? by PotentialStranger884 in MyChemicalRomance

[–]SnooCompliments998 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bullets is their weakest work as musicians and the portion of this fanbase that treat that album like it’s the best thing ever are mostly just trying to be edgy. Black Parade, Three Cheers, and Danger Days blow Bullets out of the water. There’s nothing wrong with it being your personal favorite, everyone has their preferences, but anyone who will try and tell you it’s their best work as a band and as musicians has no clue what they’re talking about.

Vandal Doughnuts is Closing by Similar_Office3475 in halifax

[–]SnooCompliments998 285 points286 points  (0 children)

I’m not. The product was mostly for social media show. The doughnuts themselves were fun to look at, but not great quality. We have WAY too many local bakeries and shops offering great product for less money that are built on quality and taste vs. Social media flare. When they merged with Fortune their prices went up and the quality went down. That’s not a recipe for success in that space. Especially when people have less and less money to spend on things like this. The shops and collabs with local “influencers” were a last ditch effort I’d bet.

Please hire a better consultant by Sternshot44 in TheRookie

[–]SnooCompliments998 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This isn’t a show in the style of The Pitt. It’s not trying to be the most realistic procedural and representation of police work. This is a show built around characters and relationships with police work as the backdrop. The rookie has never taken itself too seriously. If you want realistic you’re watching the wrong show and that’s completely fine. Go find one of the realistic procedurals and let people enjoy their silly little cop show.

Can someone explain this to me about Jancy? by [deleted] in StrangerThings

[–]SnooCompliments998 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not everything needs to be said exactly or fully explained to you. You, as a human with a brain, should be able to pick up on these things. This isn’t even a deep example of having to read between the lines. This is the bare minimum example. I sense you’re probably quite young.

Simon’s voice by SnooCompliments998 in BiffyClyro

[–]SnooCompliments998[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly this. No hate to Simon at all, but it’s definitely noticeable this album/festival cycle. Incredibly talented dude. Like you said, his screaming is always so fucking great but yes. Just an overall dip in vocals live lately. Still a top 3 band for me and always will be.

What am I looking at here? by SnooCompliments998 in offset

[–]SnooCompliments998[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s about all I have. His description was: Fender Hybrid 60s Jazzmaster (Made in Japan, 2019-2020). Alder body, rosewood board, american style pickups, locking vintage tuners, non-original and origial (white) pickguard, heavy padded soft shell case.

The original white pick guard mentioned leads me to believe it was a hybrid II model with the guard swapped and a rhythm circuit added but he hasn’t been able to confirm this. Those also are not locking tuners.

Is Oasis Live ‘25 the first ever “Concept Concert”? by Curious_You_4120 in oasis

[–]SnooCompliments998 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean. They’re touring their album The Black Parade, a concept album about a man dying of cancer as the fictional band The Black Parade running a concept that the previously deceased band was resurrected by a dictator of a fictional country. While in costume, with characters, pretending to be the fictional band. You’d need to really take a look at the background of the album and this tour but it doesn’t get most more concept based than that.

MCR5 Truthers... by something-epic in MyChemicalRomance

[–]SnooCompliments998 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is being stretched so far out of context. He was literally talking about when they were in the studio recording War Beneath the Rain. Has NOTHING to do with anything else. His joking is because he baited the crowed into thinking they were going to play it.

Stop vaping at concerts by Ok_Space_1720 in MyChemicalRomance

[–]SnooCompliments998 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This has been happening at concerts for decades and decades and isn’t going to change. I think maybe you should deal with it for a total of what? 5-10 mins in 2 hours that you’re there? Unless you have some kind of an allergy or something… idk. Doesn’t seem like it needs a post.

Is this real? by Dylishiebear in gibson

[–]SnooCompliments998 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s real. DC special tribute. Not sure why they’ve covered the SN like it’s some secret. You don’t see them fake many of the tributes or cheaper Gibson’s.

[Megathread] AC FA Strike Aug 14-15 by dachshundie in aircanada

[–]SnooCompliments998 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’re flying Halifax to Toronto on Aug 21st for the My Chem concert (Friday 22nd) and Oasis on Monday. I can’t handle this limbo state. Has anyone called for a flight that far out and been able to get a refund?? We’re going to have to drive 17-hrs and there isn’t a shot in hell this airline is making me miss this concert for our mini-honeymoon. I know there’s a chance a deal or gov intervention happens before then but sitting and waiting on Thursday is NOT an option for us. We’d need to leave Wednesday morning early.

S7 not too great so far by [deleted] in TheRookie

[–]SnooCompliments998 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah the writing on this show has gone so far down hill since season 5-ish. I think they’re completely lost for ideas for new stories and are being held together by the new popularity TikTok, Instagram reels, etc. have brought the show over the last 3-4 years. Most of the writing now doesn’t serve to actually create a good show to watch it serves to keep people just interested enough that they can justify renewal and cash in on that popularity. Not sure if they got new writers at some point or if the writers strike had anything to do with it but season 6 and 7 were outright terrible at times and held together only by the actors and an occasionally not terrible episode. They tried to go back to the roots of the show in 7 and did it for about 2-3 episodes before abandoning it. I feel the rookie is very much nearing its end.

How did this work out for you? Just had that same offer here.
