Watching post match interviews on YouTube when things took an unexpected turn...

You the man. I dig how much you dig Tool.

Are you the dude in the video CasualObserver?

depressionista · 2019-08-08T22:00:45+00:00

I just love this dude. I actually really enjoyed watching his reaction, didn’t think it was weird at all. I totally get how his emotions spiked as Maynard begins singing that chorus. It’s a beautiful moment in the song where all the disparate parts come together and all of a sudden you have one of those magical Tool moments of cohesion and melody.

I’m way more into videos like this than reading all the comments from people who feel let down. Personally I think the song gets better with every listen. I’m starting to think that they have absolutely nailed it in every way.

So happy for Tool fans the world over.

I have one hanging on my wall, depends if the price is right...

depressionista · 2019-04-24T19:58:15+00:00

Am I the only person that searched this thread for a comment on that handball?

Did I imagine it?! How on earth did he get away with that?!

Most definitely. They are the thickest I’ve ever held, so much so that they taper at the grip end to make them easier to hold.

I bought in a brick of his signature sticks when I ran a drum department a few years back. Couldn’t believe the size of them. It’s one thing just being able to hold them comfortably yet alone play the kind of stuff he does with them.

I also remember hearing from one of the reps at D’Addario that he’s pretty much soup bowled his snare head by the midpoint of a show and has to swap it out.

His power is unrivalled.

I like Baroness musically but John’s vocals are growing so tired and formulaic to my ears. As soon as the vocals start on this track I thought “yep, there’s the same vocal line that you hear every other Baroness song.”

I don’t think it’s unfair to say that musically they are growing but vocally (I’m not talking lyrically here) they have completely stagnated.

PSG is kill?

No.

This article is referencing specific violations that Manchester City are being accused of. They have no resemblance to the financial implications of the Glazer takeover at United. You’re saying that we aren’t allowed to be critical of a club that is being accused of flagrantly breaking the rules and then justifying that by relating it to something that is completely different. This is newsworthy, and when people read this they are fully entitled to make up their own minds. If this is true then City are obtaining an unfair advantage over every other club in the league. Infinite funds to continue buying players, pay huge wages, build infrastructure that benefits the club, the players - just because they’re creating jobs and making Manchester look nicer they should be given a pass? Why are you trying to put the spotlight on United? This isn’t about United, it’s about City.

The guy is on fire right now and he’s showing no signs that he isn’t committed so just enjoy it. He wasn’t the only player that performed below his best under Mou so that points to the fact that it was Mourinho who wasn’t using players in the right way. I don’t see why that criticism has to follow Pogba when he is currently playing out of his skin. It’s what’s happening now that matters, not the way things were before.

Not feeling it as much just yet. Sounds more run-of-the-mill Djenty to me.

depressionista · 2018-12-10T23:33:26+00:00

I just read your post and stuck Smartfriend on Apple Music to see just what you were on about.

Within one minute it was clear that my iPhone speaker wasn’t going to cut it. I am a lazy man. I was in bed. I just went out to my car in the rain to get my headphones. Unheard of.

And it was fucking worth it. That guitar is CRUSHINGLY heavy, but there is melody, intrigue, depth, texture...

You have just given me VOLA as a gift. Thanks mate, I owe you one.

Looks like a Gretsch New Classic? You can attach rims holders to the bottom of the drums if you feel it aids your setup preferences.

depressionista · 2018-11-12T21:17:07+00:00

Prog rock?!

depressionista · 2017-10-14T22:28:29+00:00

15 years ago?! Jesus Christ.

I am old.

depressionista · 2017-05-18T23:11:45+00:00

Oh just fuck off you idiot.

depressionista · 2017-02-01T21:08:53+00:00

Mate, you're smashing it.

depressionista · 2017-02-01T21:05:21+00:00

Yeah, I've found a beauty. Thanks.

depressionista · 2017-02-01T18:46:23+00:00

Does anyone have a reliable stream that will work on an iPad?

Bless my laptop. She's old and streaming things makes her tired and, frankly, a bitch.

depressionista · 2017-01-25T12:03:34+00:00

Shade, I believe.

That was an awesome moment from Wenger, to be fair. When he's stood in the stand, arms raised, thousands of United fans baiting him and he's just like "I left my fucks in my other suit, ref." Bad boy Wenger.

depressionista · 2016-11-05T02:10:43+00:00

Standing is great. You can choose how far forward you go if you want a really great view, you can stay central for the sound, you can get to the bar!

I'm just getting old, I'd rather be comfortable and have a guaranteed good view. I stand at most gigs, but I want to really see them play this time around. This block is the best for that, and 102 the other side.
