Fluffytime Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Reading through this thread I thought to myself "heh, someone should introduce @gmgraves to Sunn O)))". Then I remembered that Boris collaborated with Merzbow a few years back, with spectacular results. Blake 1 Link to comment

Your lack of taste is exceeded only by your inability to accept that not everybody shares your love of the banal. This post is the most adorable thing I've ever seen. wgscott 1 Link to comment

I don't like being harsh with fellow audiophiles, but Blakes lack of tolerance and general nastiness made me take a harsh line with him. Seems like a lot of people here need to learn that just because tastes differ, it doesn't mean that one has free reign to insult those with whom you disagree. Lots of people on this forum have told me that they hate classical music, find it boring, etc. Do I try to change their minds or convince them that they shouldn't denigrate people who do like it? No. I never do that. I don't care what other people listen to personally. I might not understand forms of music to which I never listen, and I might say verbally say that I don't like it (just as many have told me that they don't like classical music or jazz), but I don't generally denigrate the people who hold those opinions. This fracas started because Some guy on a You-Tube video was playing a guitar with a resultant sound that was total distortion. I don't listen to the types of music that use that kind of instrumentation, so I'd never heard an electric guitar do that. Since then, I have been castigated, made fun of, been told that I am boring and would be no fun at a party, all because I eschew and am not very familiar with modern (post 1965) forms of popular music. I have to wonder how many of these "rockers" could stand up to a grilling on grand opera? Or could tell the difference between an oboe and a cor Anglais? Very few, I suspect, and why should they? They don't listen to those kinds of music and I wouldn't expect them to. Yet, they come all unglued and whip up a Jihad against me because I don't know one electric guitar from another, or have never heard one that was really distorted as on that video. Sorry to be so long winded here. But I had to get that off my chest. Now, go ahead and let slip the dogs of insult! I have no idea how to even begin responding to this wall of... Whatever it may be. I'll just say this: It takes two to tango. And I think you already knew that. Also, if you've honestly never heard an electric guitar with that much distortion (and it's not really that much distortion, relatively speaking) you must have been living under a rock for the past 45 years. I get that you prefer classical, and there's certainly nothing wrong with that, but come on... Are you some sort of hermit? Do you never interact with other people in real life? Link to comment

Oh and rap/hip hop is "utterly disgusting". Blake: Then you have bland/boring musical tastes! George: You Blake, have no taste, but I do! Blake: Points out George has been living under a rock and is probably not the life of the party (in my defense, George unwittingly admitted to living under a rock) George: You thinned skinned, banal lover! George: Blake needs to learn to be more tolerant, he is mean and nasty and he has insulted me! I never denigrate people who don't share my musical tastes. P.S. Plissken, my apologies for the derail. No more comments from me. I am a jerk! Hah, funny how this works, right? Listen to George as he denigrates everything beyond 1955!!! Primitive beasts! The downfall of western society! Arrrgh!!! Jungle Music! DO NOT QUESTION GEORGE!!! DO NOT BULLY GEORGE!!! THIN SKIN!!! BLGGRRGHLAARBBLL!!! Link to comment
