J: Slayer Guitarist's Food Poisoning Forces Tilburg Cancellation - from the comments;
> Seasons in the bathroom
i lol'd XD
J: > When I caught the Big Four movie
what is this :?
J: so it's some film about the big 4 now? :O
M: no, not a film, they literally screened the sets in via satellite link so you could 'watch as if you were there' sort of thing...
J: oh that, i've noticed that on other gigs.
M: orly? i never seen it before :O
J: yeah, read about it on the nme (i think), some band have a proper director involved in doing it :/
M: omg that's lame :(( what's the point? i hate live stuff unless i was there, someone i know was there or....well yeah, that's about it. apart from s&m, which most people hate anyway...
J: just in case you didn't feel like showing up :)
M: :DDDDDDDDD yeah hehe :)
I was looking up a song my mum used to sing and managed to find it:
Thunderclap? Sound of falling rain? I know who else thought it was a good idea to use that sound effect!
M: Can you tell MP3 bitrates apart? - interesting
J: yeah, this shit's good. although a lot also depends on the software you use, since I've heard some 128's that sound louder than they should, and also some 192's that sound quiet.
M: haha i was gonna say more than "interesting" but i had to leave my computer and didn't want to lose the feed :)
yeah software and listening equipment make a world of difference! i'm one that doesn't notice quality so much, prolly 'cause so much of my life was spent with only a cassette player...you're the only person that ever mentions to me about kbps rates :)
J: listening on your mp3 player usually gets you to hear stuff you never do on a sterio set up, but then if people are too anal, they should use FLACS, which is not as big as the raw audio file, but is lossless. I still say 192 is the perfect one, since it's not too big in size and still sounds good.
M: my mp3 player won't play those flacs thingies - i have a couple which i downloaded by mistake. i just download whatever i can get mostly, as long as the whole thing is there and some idiot hasn't uploaded something with skips in the tracks or whatever i'm happy. most the time when i listen to music i'm not paying full attention anyways - talking, reading, whatever. even on the way to work i'm mostly reading at the same time and if the book is good, i get through whole albums without even noticing
J: Reign in Blood comes to mind ^_____^
M: LOL you can be listening to that properly and not notice... like we said, until the rain starts :)
J: this :)
though i suppose when you're reading and listening to RIB at the same time, i bet you just don't even notice it. it's like the most popular slayer album is just really a void.
seriously though, i can't understand why people rate it so much, it's fucking dull as shit! it's like listening to one song that never ends
M: i only notice angel of death and rib, they may as well have just released a single
J: RIB sucks, and i don't give a fuck :D
M: seeing as its pretty much their most famous, most rated album.......madness.
J: poor south of heaven, no one really mentions that one :(
M: i think D always liked that, but now i type that i think he liked seasons in the abyss. ho hum.
J: SOH is ok, i like hell awaits more than anything (obvs SNM comes
first, but that aside it's HA)
M: i don't know much apart from rib and show no mercy, i've heard a lot of stuff, from various different albums from being with TM et al but i've never payed them much attention. i don't really like slayer, i hate tom's voice, it sounds like he's shouting at me, specifically. it makes me feel uncomfortable.
J: it's true :D
at least with SNM he's more tuneful
M: SLAYER Frontman Blows Out Voice Prior To Melbourne Concert; Show Goes On - olllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllld man araya
J: tom obv tried to sing antichrist from SNM and blew his voice.
awesome :D
M: i know, LULZ all round. so much for all those people who go on about slayer still kicking ass :D
J: yeah, their mighty singer can't fucking sing.
M: :D
J: srsly, it's a cop out that they've pulled this, tom can still play bass - kerry or jeff should sing, it's not that hard to sing slayer songs!
andreas sung for sepultura when max pulled out of a gig, fuck these pussies!
M: true dat, or get help - jonathan davis didn't play with korn and they just got loads of other people to help - i'm sure there must have been someone there that could have done it. all you have to do is shout angel of death over and over again and no-one would notice the difference
J: kerry could have sung, since all he does is boring rhythm, it would have made the gig special, but instead they pussied out
fuck slayer
M: also true, i love the fact that i saw korn with all the different people (even if it does mean i've never seen a complete korn line up) and i'd cut off my leg to have seen joey play drums for metallica!
J: james never pussied out when he couldn't play guitar :)
M: and he'd been set on fire :O
J:
