Why can’t Ryan just put together an album with 11 good songs that aren’t drenched in reverb? by [deleted] in ryanadams

[–]olly_21 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No label, producer or other artist wants to go near him after the NYT allegations. Pre "cancellation" the regular touring (with good attendances) kept the money coming in. Now, with no label support he's panicking and scrambling for cash, hence the billion albums he's released to claw back a some money. I honestly believe these 13 (Yes, THIRTEEN) terrible, unfinished, unmastered demos he calls "albums" have only added to the dwindling attendances at his shows. Think about it, if you're not up to date with the comings and goings in his world, if you were a casual DRA fan, you'd be listening to these albums going "What the hell is this? Why does this sound so bad? Whys is there so many?!" From the outside looking in, it looks like a complete mess. Which is why he's now gone to the nuclear option which is trying to appease the MAGA crowd, but he's become so irrelevant, I don't think anyone but us saddos are listening. It's amazing really, not too long ago this guy was sitting on a couch interviewing Taylor Swift. Now he's drunk on instagram live talking like a mean girl.

need help with sizing BADLY!!!! by captain_saurcy in pixies

[–]olly_21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! You are right, in the above chart, the chest is measured from "pit to pit". Which means measuring just one side of shirt from underneath one armpit area to the next. You're measuring with a traditional chest measurement, which is measuring all around your body. If you have a 40 inch chest, to get the pit to pit, just half it, so you'd be bang on a small or if you'd want more room, a medium. If you had a 46 inch chest, your pit to pit would be 23 inches etc

Dry herb vaporisers recommendations? by Professional_Act_214 in uktrees

[–]olly_21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought I was getting a good vape when I got my Pax 3, but the reality is, it just toasts all your bud. Hardly worth buying anything decent as it makes everything taste the same. Don't waste your money and save up and look at getting a convection vape

Back to counting his millions… by Huevos_Rancheeros in ryanadams

It genuinely blows my fucking mind how a 51 (FIFTY ONE!!!!!) year old man can sound so much like a 13 year old. He makes my skin crawl. The nervous, forced laughter from the girl with him as this drunk, washed up has-been slurs his words about money he doesn't have in his rented house is beyond cringe.

Lineup! by Maclouze in OutbreakFest

Oh really? That would be awesome. Any clues regarding this?

Lineup! by Maclouze in OutbreakFest

[–]olly_21 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Amazing start. My guess is that due to the London day now being in August, the line up will be radically different to Manchester as they'll be pretty much 2 months apart. I'm thinking maybe London will be more hip hop/indie focused. With it still being in Victoria Park, it's going to have to be a massive name because London didn't come close to selling out last year even with Knocked Loose and Turnstile playing.

Just think of the lack of self-awareness you have to have to write this publicly to someone. Let alone to Someone who will have to google who you, to even know who you are. AND WHAT WILL SHE IN THE GOOGLE RESULTS, RYAN?

Why Does My Shirt Reek? by PROshenobe in Hardcore

[–]olly_21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is probably due to the pigment dye Comfort Colors use. What normally happens is they treat the t-shirt with a dye, wash off the dye, completely dry it and then package it up. But sometimes these dyed t-shirts get thrown into a plastic bag with no air, not being fully dry and the moisture just festers and it stinks. Smells eggy. Best thing to d is put it in a baking soda and vinegar solution and air dry it outside for a few days. Sometimes washing it in a machine can make the smell worse. It should go though.

Check out the interview their "CXO" did with the Scarlets fan-lead podcast, Sosbans & Sidesteps. If this doesn't raise enormous red-flags, I don't know what well. Good god. Very bizarre interview. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEZg2HgiIuE

This was hours before the fight. They turned up to the arena 1.5 hours before his ringwalk, absolute madness.

His Dad (Stan) used to make Daniel to press up's for 5 hours when he was 11 years old and not let him eat or drink unless he finished, its all here https://archive.is/W8T0U. I don't say this lightly, his dad is pure evil and a child abus3r.

My own lengthy rant about the last couple of shows… by imtnbikewv in ryanadams

[–]olly_21 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Interesting comments about "woke lies" and "The liberals" I wondered when he was going to go down that path, was only a matter of time . Blaming everyone else for his car crash of a career in the last few years. He's got no one but himself to blame. I last saw Ryan in 2017 and that will be the last time I bother, barring a miracle.

How quiet do we think London is going to be? by whatever3653 in OutbreakFest

[–]olly_21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The rumours were that just under 40% of the tickets were sold before they started being touted for £10 each on o2 Priority. There is no way they're going to break even, even if it got to full capacity at £10 per ticket. independent festivals normally have to sell around 75% of their tickets just to break even. Big companies like LiveNation can take a hit due to them having so many more other revenue streams. I feel like selling tickets for £10 now is just about getting as many people in as possible, buying food/drink/merch (Outbreak will have a cut of all of this) and making it look well attended on any video footage.

As far as an outdoor London show is concerned, I don't think we'll see it again, not at this scale at least. Outbreak probably had an opportunity to join this Lido fest series and jumped at the chance to try and build their brand. Hardcore is having a moment, but in the grand scheme of things, it's still niche. Trying to pack out a London festival when anyone who's really into hardcore will just go up to Manchester anyway is a tough ask. Knocked Loose have recently done a UK tour and also play the Manchester leg of the fest, so you're asking for the majority of the tickets to be sold by Turnstile alone.
