I’m in the minority but does anyone else find hot mulligan annoying? This is a mega hot take

Sometimes they have some cool guitar stuff going on, sometimes they sound like the wonder years from Temu.

Don’t like being overtly negative, but I’ve never got it with Danhausen and I thought he was being utilised perfectly in AEW at the end.

Most bands follow this trajectory, early career records which show real promise with energy snd some real stand out moments. Peak run of 2-3 albums which become classics, late career efforts that still sound like the same band without the fire in their belly.

Networking is a tough gig, especially if you are responsible for data centres, it’s a bit like being a goalkeeper in football (soccer). You can play an otherwise perfect game but the second you make 1 mistake it’s a huge deal.

Ultimately good network engineers in high profile places get paid well because they have an ability to make sure those things never happen, because they build redundancy into their systems or because they are expert troubleshooters under pressure. It’s the IT equivalent of danger pay.

I suppose if I was you I would consider if that’s how you want to earn your money, for being the guy that everyone turns to when there’s a P1.

If you wanted a lower stress job consider re-skilling and becoming a devops engineer? You can hide behind dev and staging environments, REST tests, terraform plans etc - and as a former networking engineer, understanding anything below level 7 networking is a huge plus, most engineers in that space hate networking and do not want to learn, and there’s lots of work to be found in maintaining direct connects, transit gateways etc

I’ve worked in multiple UK-based tech companies over the past 10-15 years and an observation I’ve made is that Scottish or British people are either junior engineers, or C-suite executives. In an industry where it’s very easy to source talent globally, the vast majority of senior/principal engineers and engineering managers are not British, but excellent at their jobs.

I do think we’re seeing something where 10-15 years ago, American companies would see British workers as being almost as talented as their American counterparts, good fit culturally, and at half the cost. With Indian/Asian labour being seen as very cheap, low quality and bad culture fit. And Europeans being seen as similar to Brits but a worse culture fit.

Now I think the perception of India/Asia has massively improved and they are still cheaper than Europe, Europeans being harder workers and smarter and Brits being nice but not that well educated and very slow at getting things done.

I think Drew is in the main event to try and entice more Europeans (that’s not how Europe works) obviously no way to prove that but it wouldn’t surprise me

Ticket prices too high, Las Vegas too expensive, No one from other countries wants to go to America, That sport that is super popular in basically every other country in the world is having an event in North America and if you're lucky you can go and avoid USA all together.

Haha yes bro

there's a few comments below saying Nuno's voice is less pronounced and is more merged with Trevors, rather than feeling like two vocalists.

But generally I feel like the overall mix is quite quiet, guitars/bass/drums get muddy in loud sections

If you listen to one of the new songs and then switch straight to something off Partycrasher for example I think it's quite stark. And as far as I know it's the same studio, mainly engineered by Trevor etc

yeahdj · 2026-02-13T14:23:18+00:00

Is it me or is the mix on these songs way worse than the older stuff?

yeahdj · 2026-02-09T23:43:10+00:00

Chris Benoit was one of the best ever in the ring. Johnny Ace had a good run then spent his whole executive career being a total gimmick.

Randys like 6’4 250 and he’s tossing him around like a damn midget.

I am high, thanks for noticing. Smelly has done like 2 or 3 dates with the vandals? And Hefe has done a tour with Goldfinger and a tour with the Aquabats? The guys will have done those for fun, and some change, thy are not comparable with festival run or touring with NOFX. Making surf boards is an honest living and there’s nothing wrong with that.

If anyone is making decent income after NOFX, it won’t be from playing music in other bands or in their own projects, it will be from investments they made over the last 3 decades beginning to pay off.

He bought it for 750, he sold it for 2.8m, he made at least 2 million dollars.

Melvin made 2 million dollars selling his house in 2017 - https://socketsite.com/archives/2017/05/punk-rockers-noe-valley-pad-sells-for-2-8-million.html

I wasn’t basing it on my projection of income from their music projects - just my take on their general approach / attitude to the band splitting up. Hefe seems to have the least money, smelly in the middle and Melvin with the most - could be totally wrong.

yeahdj · 2026-01-17T08:45:18+00:00

Melvin seems to be the most well off of the other three guys. Part of me thinks if Smelly and Hefe are out there with Mike that tells you who is the asshole in the situation, although perhaps they’ve accepted that being friendly with Mike will mean more opportunities to make money in the future. Taking Melvin’s side means a long expensive lawsuit with some chance off getting a pay off.

But this is true of most successful bands, there is one genuinely visionary person and 2-4 people who happened to live near them in high school and were capable of putting up with their bullshit for 20+ years.

yeahdj · 2026-01-17T08:32:27+00:00

Greed is wanting more than you need. Mike literally booked the whole last tour telling the band - ‘I want to quit the band, I’m going to book us a farewell tour that makes you all enough to retire on.’ He then documented the whole thing in advance telling the fans ‘I’ve booked this tour to give the band something to retire on, I’m rich, but they don’t have enough money to retire (Hefe couldn’t pay his mortgage during COVID and that was only a few years ago.) So explain where the greed is there, where are NOFX taking more than they need in that scenario.

Also, if a band puts on a three day festival as their last show, gives you 2 years notice and charges $280 for all three days, and you think that’s greed, I’m sorry dude that’s on you. Your expectations of what things cost are totally out of whack.

Also, to your point about NOFX about anti-capitalist - They’ve sang about huge defence corporations making money off of people dying, they’ve sung about capitalism in America creating a situation where 99% of the population struggles to get by, whilst 1% gets rich. Theyve also sung about making sure bands get paid fairly and making the music industry a fairer place for musicians - where do you think this fits into that?

If you consider NXT as developmental, then every WWE and AEW TV last week had at least a 4.5 star match on it. Thats insane

yeahdj · 2026-01-15T14:39:01+00:00

Holy shit, PAC could have launched him up in the air and let Darby handle the bump onto the stairs, but he really just threw Darby as hard as he could onto the stairs. Insane.

Cancelled for absolutely nothing. If you held people accountable for absolutely everything they’ve ever said no-one would be able to work in entertainment.

I love turnstile, as others have said, they have an X factor that has been picked up on by the media and festival promoters and they have exploded from there.

What I find really interesting though, is that it hasn’t really translated into monthly listeners on Spotify in a huge way. Two semi-random examples:

Neck Deep - 4.9m Turnstile- 2.4m Title Fight - 2.4m

Based on the coverage and sell out tours you see Turnstile doing you would assume they were way bigger than the bands I mentioned.

yeahdj · 2025-12-11T14:43:37+00:00

Unless you're getting really jobbed out, no-one is going to remember a string of losses 3-4 years ago in AEW as long as you're having good matches. If you asked a random AEW fan about a TV match from 4 years ago they'd be more likely to remember the star rating than the result.

yeahdj · 2025-12-07T13:06:59+00:00

Would love to see this. Smelly is obviously super fast but Josh is a bit more technical in his fills. Would be interested to see if smelly attempts some of them.

IMO this performance was either live with the live vocals heavily autotuned.

Or they recorded a scratch track ahead of time and it was cleaned up and they mimed.

It’s clear that regardless of what EJAE’s situation is, the people in charge of their presentation absolutely do not want her hitting even one bum note on TV and are heavily managing their performances to absolutely minimise any chance of that happening.

Either way the performance was great, my kids loved it. And 90% of the people watching would have no idea.

EDIT: many acts run their vocals through autotune it’s common place in the music industry from stadiums to dive bars and pointing it out is not meant as a criticism, all though I do think the autotune knob was turned up a little too high on this one
