| SpiralDrift 02/19/18 12:18:28 AM #19 | First album was alright but nothing special. I listened to a more recent song and they just straight up stole a classic King Diamond riff. I don't really buy into the whole "Satanic" image they've constructed for themselves. They just seem really hellbent on achieving mainstream success and are constantly trying to prop themselves up on older acts that they have nothing in common with anyway. I would go as far as to call them poseurs. Top-notch production, though. So there's that. --- Do unto others what your parents did to you. |

| Topic | What was the most fucked up post you ever saw on GameFAQs? >_> |
| SpiralDrift 02/14/18 7:39:53 PM #142 | On the Paranormal/Conspiracy board someone posted a topic with a picture of a young guy taking a selfie in bed with an older lady who, umm.... appeared to not be alive. There was no gore but the person appeared very gaunt and lifeless, as if rigor mortis had just started to set in. The topic title was something like, "Does this look like a dead person to you?" and the post was something like "Do you think someone would really take a picture like that with a dead person?" The TC's name had an ethnicity in it, and the guy in the picture appeared to match that ethnicity. I reported the post and it was deleted not long after. I feel stupid for doing that now. What if that guy was the one in the picture? Why would he have a dead woman in his bed? Or maybe it was someone else and he was just as baffled by the picture? I'll never stop wondering. --- Do unto others what your parents did to you. |

| SpiralDrift 02/14/18 7:27:45 PM #1 | I know at least one. Possibly two, it's hard to tell because some people are too embarrassed to admit it. I just tell them I'm open to possibilities outside of my experience because I don't want to make them feel bad, but also because I want to understand why people believe in these things. They always cite youtube videos as the things that made them question their beliefs. It's like youtube is the new bible for some people. --- Do unto others what your parents did to you. |

| SpiralDrift 02/14/18 7:15:10 PM #20 | Kazi1212 posted... Cool guys, so it seems most people a agree a man wanting similar treatment in return isnt sexist. But I cant shake the idea that a man articulating his wants in the same vein as the woman did would be more likely called a sexist in this day and age. Unreasonable? That seems pretty likely, yeah. There's a double standard.

| Topic | I agree with limiting what types of food can be bought with food stamps. |
| SpiralDrift 02/14/18 6:55:19 PM #128 | My family was very poor when I was younger and relied on food stamps. It shames me to even think about it now. But it gave so little that we were always still hungry and often relied on churches, etc, to make up the difference. Even then there was always a period at the end of the month where we had nothing left and just had to deal with it. Snacks and soda were practically a delicacy. It wasn't something we had very often. Let me tell you how much it sucked. It sucked so bad that even though I'm poor enough to qualify for it right now, I fucking never would because I don't want to take the resources from a child that might be starving like I was. It still hurts to remember those times. Which is why I don't care as much about the limitations as I do that whatever they're given that it actually be enough. That's it. I know I would have been happy with healthy food because it's better than literally nothing. --- Do unto others what your parents did to you. |

| SpiralDrift 02/14/18 6:43:30 PM #29 | What's happening to the country right now is like what happens in Poltergeist when the girl falls into the mud and the burial ground corpses start popping out of the ground. The scene where the guys pulls his face apart in front of the mirror is like a metaphor for the death that lurks just under the surface of all of us as a result, thin enough to be ripped open like a Fruit Rollup. And then in Poltergeist II the old guy that keeps coming to the door is just like the government and media trying to force its way into our lives, obsessed with getting to our children, and it too reeks of the death that lies beneath us. --- Do unto others what your parents did to you. |

If a girl doesn't like it and a guy says it anyway, or if she wants it but he thinks it's wrong/stupid then just find something else that works.

| Topic | Need to vent about a band situation. |
| SpiralDrift 02/14/18 6:24:39 PM #6 | Schwarz posted... Drop em. They're not on the same seriousness level that you are, and trying to work with them isn't gonna produce any good results. I have tons of my own material and mainly wanted to use the recordings with them as a springboard to better things. I do feel an attachment to the songs, though. Imagine taking the most basic punk riffs imaginable and making them all stand out somehow anyway and then having to throw it away. Sucks. To further complicate things they want to change the band name to a name that I thought up a long time ago. They were set on two names they thought up themselves, but then they asked around and everyone liked my idea better for whatever reason. I didn't even lobby for it.

| Topic | Need to vent about a band situation. |
| SpiralDrift 02/14/18 6:10:17 PM #4 | The way I'm trying to rationalize this to myself is that I'd like to be the kind of guy where people say "Everything that guy touched is gold."

| Topic | Need to vent about a band situation. |
| SpiralDrift 02/14/18 6:01:53 PM #1 | Wall of text but I'm pretty sure there's a valuable life lesson in here somewhere. So I used to jam with a guy and I was the main guitarist and he was either rhythm or bass, but we didn't have a drummer. So I bought a drum set and learned to play. We ended up putting the first project (written almost entirely by me) on the back burner and started working on some punk songs with me on drums and him on guitar. I wanted to improve on drums so it was still a good deal for me. During this period I was the main person who would take the riffs and melodies and arrange them into full songs. We wrote about 15 songs together over maybe half a year. I was very meticulous (not strict or mean, I'm a pretty nice guy) about hammering out the details for every little part. Then one day we have a talk and he says he feels like I'm dominating the creative process, which I probably was, though I think it was for the right reasons. So I agreed to give him the reigns for a while since I already had tons of other stuff I was working on by then. Over the next few years he only wrote two songs on his own since we had all but stopped practicing after the talk. Eventually he asked me to play drums with him and some other guy. I joined up. After a few months I told them they weren't taking it seriously enough, and then they just stopped inviting me to practice. It was the usual deal with people getting high/wasted before practice and playing like shit and not showing up prepared (no picks, broken strings, etc). So I just said fuck it, I don't need them anyway. But a few months later they asked me to rejoin and I agreed, mainly because I wanted the practice. At this point I just wanted to improve my own playing. So eventually even this project dissolved. Almost a full year passed where they kept planning and cancelling practice sessions. I decided on my own to learn more about recording so I could record my own songs, and honestly more for myself than for them I put together some backing tracks for the songs we used to play together and asked them if they wanted to record. I figured everything I learned would transfer over to my main project. As an aside, though I think it's central to the whole life lesson thing, I believe that the best way to better oneself is to help other people. Lazy people never learn things for themselves, and so they're eternally dependent. Helping ungrateful people is a really tough pill to swallow, but if you come out better than you were before then you still kind of win. Recently I had a talk with the first guy and the conversation came around to writing credits. He seemed to think that coming up with a basic riff is enough to warrant full credit. I subtly dropped some examples of bands where the "leader" got too big of an ego and the band fell apart and then the leader never wrote anything good again, and that people usually only leave because they don't feel their contributions are appreciated. He still disagreed and went one further and made it seem like he thought he deserved the writing credits on ALL of the songs we had up to then. The fuck... So at this point I'm struggling with whether I should continue for my own growth or if I should just tell them they're on their own. I've already put in a lot of work on this. tl;dr: Lazy band mates, personal growth, time wasted(?) --- Do unto others what your parents did to you. |

I think most of them aren't any worse than other breeds, but when they snap they tend to do much more damage.
