It’s the preservatives.

Yeah, I don’t wanna beat this into the ground as I too love Adele, but this is ^ “proof” wasn’t a good choice. She is fairly out of tune quite often, but to be fair, jumping up on stage, without her own soundman, even with in-ear monitors is tough. I don’t have the video, but I did see her with a string section and acoustic guitar player and she was much better, pitch wise.
Sorry…

Gee, now you got me, lol. you have an obvious general dislike for me and i love it. To bad in real life you wouldn’t dare say a word to me. You would look down and not say a word. we both know it. [/quote]

I don’t know about other folks in here, but if we, you and me, were to meet in real life, I would have to look up, not down. I would then proceed to kick you in the knee, see you buckle and then stomp your head flat.

Other than that, RV, I like you.

I’ve been a vampire, too, once, but couldn’t handle the occasional transmogrification (something about cramps - and the sex wasn’t what it’s made out to be by the silly entertainment industry), so I asked to be restored.
I’m still in occasional contact with my former kind, but can’t fathom how a vampire can go rogue (vampires are rogues by nature).
Also, no one of my former family has heard about you, RogueVampire. One of my former teachers (a tranny vampire) thinks you look like some chattle he/she had a particular fondness for and did more than feed on - until it escaped.

Are you chattle, RV?

Restored, lol. There are hundreds of vampire houses in this country alone and I have never been a part of one.

To be fair, I realize she is a good singer, I simply don’t like that genre of music. Wheres the electric guitars? Wheres that rock, metal sound. Wheres the anger of metallica? In my mind, i do like a variety of music. I like ZZ top and metallica. to me, they are 2 totally different types of music. But, anything out of that rock, hard rock, heavy metal umbrulla, i do not care for.

? Are you saying that once you’ve stepped on to that dark path there is no turning back?

Well, that’s it…I outa here!

I always find it interesting how people are so narrow minded about music. Can’t you like Trivium, Loretta Lynn, Miles and The Replacements all at the same time? On a different forum, talkbass, they were bashing Paul Gilbert and Buckethead as players because they couldn’t play like Roy Clark or Chet Atkins. I love Roy and Chet,but they can’t play like Buckethead. And vice versa.
Where da luv at?
Where?

My take on rap and hip-hop is this: It isn’t music. It’s not. As a musician I feel confident about that statement. As a artist I would qualify said statement with this: Rap and Hip-Hop are a form of “pop audible art” I mean, just because you can hear it doesn’t mean it’s music. My Great Dane just burped and farted at the same time, followed by a little whine, and I think we can all agree that he isn’t a musician and that wasn’t music.

I know. As chattel, you weren’t an official member. That also explains why you’re not privy to the restoration process.

Look, I can see where you’re coming from what with all your vampire fanboy stuff - but please, trolling and self-aggrandization aside: don’t pretend to be someone you’re not. You’re no rogue vampire.

At best, you’re AWOL chattel.

But there’s also a silver lining to all of this:
you might not see it my way, but bear with me for a moment. Bear with me and realize that you’re more than a (maybe) strong and yoked fat guy with great forearms.
Maybe you can accept your inner beauty one day, too.

Take care, AWOL.

Maybe Dubstep is the answer…

Sorry for the ad before it, lol

I think one should be able to like a song and not like the artist.

My examples:

I like “Sussudio” but don’t like Phil Collins,

I like “4 Minutes” but don’t like Madonna and can barely tolerate Timberlake

Justin Bieber sounds pretty good when he sings the chorus of “Baby, Baby” (I think that’s what it’s called)

I like “Candyman” by Christina Aguilera but don’t really know/care about anything else by her.

yeah you read that Justin Bieber thing right.

Though of course I haven’t heard the song 4000 times like everyone in North America must have against their will. I don’t think I’ve actually heard the whole complete song…I just know that I think he sounds OK in that chorus.

You’re on your own, dude. No one was forcing Beiber down anyone’s…throats here. I have an mp3 player. I don’t even have to hear Souljaboy if I don’t want to…and I don’t.

Look…I am sure we are surprised by white guys who for some reason hate rap and hip hop.

What I find even stranger is that I know tons of black people who listen to damn near everything and may only have that attitude towards country music.

I like GnR but dislike Axl. I love Ritchie Blackmore’s playing, but he’s a dick, I met him. I’m still gonna listen to them.
Then there are actors who you like in movies, but please!, shut up and don’t tell me your political views. I don’t care…

You haven’t heard Bieber 2k12.

Here’s Justin Bieber on Hot 97.

For any Americans - Tim Horton’s is a popular coffee/donut shop here associated with Canada.

If electric guitars define a genre, any unplugged performance ever given by a rock band isn’t rock due to the absence of electric guitars.

^
There are plenty of electric guitars in Adele’s music, they just aren’t distorted.
