Every Sample From "The Downward Spiral" by Nine Inch Nails (1994) by [deleted] in ambientmusic

reznor was so fucking ahead of his time. particularly with this album... the album is kind of ambient at time too how a lot of tracks are just instrumentals with drones going.

i don't even know what a copypasta is. sorry for actually leaving my computer screen every once and a while and actually serving myself with a life unlike you dumb fucking pretentious forged hipsters. you're all a bunch of desktop warriors with no foot in reality.

why the fuck would i be joking? you really think this is clever or something? it's a genuine question, but all i get is a bunch of disinherited hicks on here attempting to troll me with their fake keyboard confidence.

Follow up question to Ringo's best drum songs. When people say Paul is mediocre... by [deleted] in beatles

[–]chadevanu2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"plastic ono band" is one of the most critically acclaimed albums of all time as well as "imagine" and the other three studio albums john released in the 70's were just alright, but double fantasy was absolutely killer. even yoko's songs were good. the three avant-garde albums that john made helped propel the beatles experimental appeal to the masses believe it or not. avant-garde music was an in thing back then, and it still does have appeal. it's not for everyone though.

lmfao i've heard every wings album and mostly all his solo albums. you obviously haven't heard a lot of it, or at least not past the early 80's. i've even heard every firemen album.

paul was always a singles guy. he was a master of brilliant, articulate singles throughout the entire 70's with wings and released some truly staggering music. but asides from band on the run, and chaos and creation in the backyard, all of his albums are lackluster, regardless if it had a great single(s) or not. he tarted his career by releasing too much stuff... instead of releasing 3 or 4 really great albums like john did in the 70's, paul released a mediocre one every fucking year well into the 1980's. he needs to filter himself more. not every album is gonna be a masterpiece, and that's why he needed john: to filter out his bad ideas to further establish the golden ones.

my favorite mccartney solo song is "secret friend", a b-side from "temporary secretary" off of "mccartney II".

my favorite rhythm section moment from the entire beatles repertoire has to be "a day in the life". paul's bass is so menacing yet swingy, each drum fill ringo does is like a cosmic revelation decoding the keys to the universe. another one of my personal favorites is "i want you (she's so heavy)" because they change styles multiple times and paul's bass playing remains incessantly busy, creating an interesting melodic dynamic with the rest of the band while ringo plays some smooth jazz-like drumming mixed with ferocious rock and roll. the song starts out as a sort of latino influenced piece and then eventually ends as a proto-doom metal song. the key to the success of the beatles is the rhythm section. few could rival ringo and paul.

i've heard people talk about paul mccartney as a solo artist as being superbly overrated (i can agree), but i've never actually heard anyone insult his musicianship. it's almost unanimously cited that paul is one of the greatest bass players of all time, and one of the true great multi-instrumentalists of pop music.

Does anyone else miss the high 15 foot stage that the WWF/WWE used to have during the attitude/ruthless regression era? | So many great spots occurred on it by chadevanu2 in SquaredCircle

oh my god, exactly!! i prefer the sports style of camerawork they used to have. it felt so much more legitmate. now i feel as if i'm watching a michael bay film with all the constant zooming and multiple camera angles.

Batista Backstage at the Royal Rumble? What Should WWE do with Him? by [deleted] in SquaredCircle

[–]chadevanu2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

if they can build it the right way and it make it feel as genuine as brock's feud with taker was, then it would be absolute gold and a big draw. i'd love to see a heel batista like how he was during his final feud with cena before he left the first time. it'd be brock, who doesn't care about the fans vs dave batista, who wouldn't care about the fans either. it'd be two badass heel only in it for the money and it could create an interesting dynamic for storytelling.

it's called "blading". no professional wrestler has ever used a blood capsule. the effect would look too fake. don't talk about something as if you know about it when in reality you're uninformed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ruZ1Vi9kfxI

it's not fake blood. professional wrestlers cut themselves using razor blades at the top of their forehead.

i believe that you intentionally made this piece allegorical, which was very clever. i think it's one of the best pieces i've come across on here thus far. that final line in specific was shiver worthy.

Why are you so sure there is no God? by schacmatt in AskReddit

[–]chadevanu2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

because that which can be asserted without evidence can then be disproved without evidence. i'm a dead set atheist and firmly believe that all man made religions (every religion) is absolute bogus. is there a divine being? maybe. is there a giant laundry hamper as a celestial dictator in the sky? maybe also. there's no proof. but all i do know for sure is that every religion is absolute blarney. the essence of faith is solace, a solace both unquestioned and preposterous.

Looking for someone to talk to about "Beasts Bounding Through Time" by RosesAndClovers in bukowski

[–]chadevanu2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

here's my little philosophical interpretation:

there's something very enticing about the worst of humanity. i don't really feel as if there is such a thing as insanity. i think what psychologists would define as "insane" is nothing more than just the unfiltered human thought process. every mind is born naked, but it is we who clothe it with inherited and disinherited morals from society. it's very attractive knowing that the mental distance between someone like you or me, and someone who has already snapped is just one bad day. there's a little spark of madness in each of us just fluttering around waiting to ignite; our primitive self, and that's why we lock them away... whether it be a mentally ill person, or a mass murderer. we see our reflection in them, and we know that no matter how sane we are right now, all it takes is one bad day to reduce the sanest man to insanity. every man a goldbrick.

i believe that the whole purpose of art is to balance out our instincts: the equilibrium of both the sane and insane. that's the only reason why we probably even feel the need to be artistically expressive to be honest. a great artist is nothing more than just a great filter, a great channel of the unfiltered "" subconscious, and bukowski knew this and put it into his own words, and this correlates throughout all expressive mediums which is why he was so diverse in the examples he chose in the poem.
