attn: unchain_the_wolves[views:46750][posts:199]___________________________________ [Feb 4,2013 8:48pm - arilliusbm ""] You're missing the point. Because I enjoy something you don't really like doesn't mean my opinion is more valid. My point is about people of similar interest that have the same interest. It's about respect, not about who is right or wrong. |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 4,2013 8:52pm - arilliusbm ""] And yes, I do respect your opinion on the music you like over someone who is 17 and has been listening to Dream Theater for 5 years, even though I think most of their wankery is garbage. Doesn't mean I have to agree with it. This also is common in journalism; writers that have been around for 40 years could write about the same topic as someone half their age working for the same paper, but their article would have more respect because they've doing it for much longer. I don't see what the big deal is here. It has nothing to do with elitefag. |
| ______________________________________________________ [Feb 4,2013 9:24pm - ArrowHead Logged In ... Once ""] I didn't miss your point. I passed my metal flag to the next generation a while ago and freely admit I don't know dick about a lot of it anymore. Bring back Death Angel! Oh wait - they did? Really? Wanna know how many 2012 releases I bought? 4. Van Halen, Devin Townsend, Keith Merrow, and Accept. Everything else I bought last year was old news. |

It has nothing to do with elitefag. as usual, when questioned, and shown your false statements, you change your stance a degree to continue to validate your bullshit. |
| ____________________________________ [Feb 4,2013 10:25pm - arilliusbm ""] I never changed anything. I used Thelonius Monk as an example. I used 80s Thrash as an example. I could use Pete's pizza making knowledge over my own as an example. I dont see how it's hard to respect those who have came before us and shared the same interest. It's not rocket science. Respect should be gained rather than forced. If you queens think that's elitism then go ahead and be my guest. |
| ________________________________________ [Feb 4,2013 10:35pm - disinfo agent ""] I've seen your posts, spot your psuedo elitist opinions, and when confronted you change it slightly to continue to validate your bullshit. I see your patterns, and can call you out on your crap, keep squirming, and tell me to log in about it. |
| ____________________________________ [Feb 4,2013 10:43pm - arilliusbm ""] Like I said broski, be my guest. I'm not validating anything other than the common thought of respect for those who've been enjoying or creating a common interest longer. Bottom line being: a new local band who has kids fresh out of highschool come out of the blue and talks smack (or state their opinion) on another local band that's been around since they were 7 years old. Yes, it's a common occurrence, especially here on rttp. I ain't change nothing on this stance, only elaborating on the thought. If you don't agree, then that's great. You don't have to be a pussy about it though. What am I going to do, bite? |
| ________________________________________ [Feb 5,2013 12:08am - disinfo agent ""] bottom line is you are being an old ass dried pussy about it, you are supposed to be the open thinker, walk away with a different perspective, get a different point of view, and respect the ideas and opinions of others younger than you, as you may learn something you didn't know. |

| ___________________________________ [Feb 5,2013 6:19am - arilliusbm ""] Oh yea? And who says you're supposed to be all that? You? Let's put this all in layman's terms for those who are ashamed to post their own personal opinion whilst logged in: –there is a difference between liking or disliking something and respecting something. You can dislike someone but still have a level of respect. This applies to anything. pro sports athletes, army veterans, musicians and bands, etc. -age does not always correlate to the level of respect, but it certainly can. In this instance, it was teenagers making fun of 30 and 40 year olds. All I ask is that if you don't like their music, at least respect them for their longevity at what they do. -the internet generation has the ability to download anything they want, and in most cases it can make people an expert on anything they want because it's all at their finger tips. Isn't this why rttp people bash Spence? -not once did I ever say the music of the younger generation doesn't merit respect, in fact I believe I even said I enjoy seeing all the young bands. I dont enjoy rock star attitudes with the younger kids, though. This was established it wasn't the case. That being said, this is not about older people being better than younger people. It's about the feeling of respect amongst young and old. Unfortunately it's not always the case. Regardless, this is waaaaaay too much on this subject. If you want to call me an old dried pussy, that's okay. We have the ability to express our opinions; Obviously a nerve was struck and you log out and try to express your opinion. Cool story bro. |
| _________________________________________ [Feb 5,2013 9:37am - pleasing steven ""] the gayest, most non-metal aspect to this whole situation is posting and caring so goddamn much about some imagined framework of etiquette and "respect", can't decide if it sounds like the guidelines for a family dinner or if it's the mafia or something. some young metal dude had an opinion, go call the fucking ACLU about it. every single underground metalhead i've ever met has had strong opinions since day 1. |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 5,2013 9:42am - arilliusbm ""] Paging the ACLU. I CARE SO MUCH. |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 5,2013 9:44am - arilliusbm ""] Also, can you people stop using "metal" and "non-metal" as adjectives to describe something? Let me blow down the list of what's wrong with that, after I call the ACLU and wrestle Arrowhead. |

| ____________________________________ [Feb 5,2013 10:04am - arilliusbm ""] As part of rttp's board of directors, we do have a manifesto. We have recently kicked out the self-proclaimed admin as well. |

| ____________________________________ [Feb 5,2013 10:18am - arilliusbm ""] I started this thread knowing exactly what it would turn into, hence my responses to the otherwise anonypussy posts here. It's a forum, and topics get discussed. Think about it. |
| ________________________________________ [Feb 5,2013 10:22am - disinfo agent ""] Mediocre sarcastic response, that's exactly what I would expect. |

| ______________________________ [Feb 5,2013 10:41am - Yeti ""] this thread is gay. be an elitist and be proud of it. everything everyone listens to aside from what i listen to is gay. |

| ________________________________ [Feb 5,2013 10:45am - KEVORD ""] This thread is like soooo unmetal guyz!!!!! |
| ______________________________ [Feb 5,2013 10:46am - Yeti ""] metal is about what's inside of you, not how old or young you are. my mother told me i'd be over this "phase" when i grew up. i'm approaching 32 and have never been more into it than i am now. whatever happened to turning this emotion into good music? i can think of a lot of wasted talent in this thread alone. write without abandon, sing without care, and give no fucks. ever. |

| ____________________________________ [Feb 5,2013 10:55am - arilliusbm ""] Again, this thread is not about age in the sense of creating or liking metal. It's about respecting people. I dont understand why it's rocket science. |

| ______________________________ [Feb 5,2013 11:37am - why ""] Loving the logic in this thread. Don't talk shit on bands that are older than you. Wait until you grow up and are able to translate the shittalk into cheesy condescending old man diatribes on rttp that carefully avoid actually offending anyone |
| __________________________________________ [Feb 5,2013 11:37am - pleasing steven ""] keep metal dangerous. |
| ____________________________________ [Feb 5,2013 11:41am - arilliusbm ""] You can talk shit all you want but a little respect ain't hurt nobody. Aretha Franklin said it best. Oh wait, that was an open minded comment about "non-metal"? Gasp. The irony. |
