Boogie1488: The Fats of our Lives

Me not liking Van Halen might have something to do with the guy constantly bragging about being able to tap the beginning of Eruption. It's piss easy by the way.

I can understand that, but try and remove him from the equation.


As for prog, I like Rush and Mahavishnu Orchestra and all, but the worst thing about DEP are the fucking vocals. I don't mind "harsh" vocals (god I hate that term) in bands here and there, but nobody fucking sings anymore, and when they do they sound like a bunch of pop-punk Less Than Jake jerkoffs.

Good singers in Metal have become extremely rare. I don't expect everyone to be a Dio but it's been quite a while I've been impressed by somebodies singing voice. Hell, even in other genres you hear more "singers" that can't even hold a note more and more.

[Pope Corky III]

I just want someone to sing and not sound like a putz. Take Ghost for example, I feel like I should be the #1 Ghost fan in the world for bringing back traditional metal to a high commercial level but the vocals are just so fucking lame. Almost any second tier singer would be better than what that guy is doing. Fucking Ripper Owens, Blaze Bayley and Gene Adam would be better.

Same guys and that dumb bassist I mentioned were the ones talking me into going to that Dream Theatre concert. Worst fucking shit I've ever heard and attended to. They say sucking your own dick isn't gay but Progressive Metal is the proof to the contrary.

Prog metal is one of the most degenerate genres of all time. Prog metalheads would never give Dillinger's Calculating Infinity the time of day even though it is more technical than the litany of ripoff bands.

It's pretentious and that's something I just can't stand in music. Jazz is the same. Do you play guitar? Have you met a Jazz guitarist? It's the most agonizing experience you can imagine.

I've known a lot of people in their 50s who think jazz is the greatest thing ever, and while some of them like the good fusion like Mahavishnu, there are people who unironically listen to lots of bad big band or dixieland, and it kills me. Jazz and metal had similar fates where the market was oversaturated with shit and people latched onto the stuff at the bottom of the barrel like Ornette Coleman or some sad viking metal band.

The problem, as you say, is the snobbery. The modernist music genres like serialism get a bad rap because the "fanbase" is always hammering away saying 2deep4u, which is insulting and has led to a lot of curious individuals being turned away for no good reason.

[Kugelfisch]

Once you've met a faggot that plays with a pebble as a pick and claims that you need to have reached guitar mastery before you can even attempt to play any kind of Jazz, let alone Fusion, and then proceeds to not even be remotely able to partake in a jam session, you know true suffering. The suffering that this kind of person actually exists.

Watching these fucks squirm and sweat for once has really been great, I hope more advertisers pull out just to make it better even better. Some YouTubers say they lost over half there income which is kektastic.

Sounds great!

I wonder how effective ads via youtube videos even are. I never buy anything shown in a youtube ad. I don't even see ads on youtube unless I'm watching from a device that I can't enable adblock on. How much money is there really in these ads? I mean, when you consider how much you have to pay out to every shitter with an ad-enabled video.

I guess youtube ads do give products a lot of exposure, but only for VIDEOS that get a lot of views. Some fucker like DSP isn't doing much for most companies, seeing as his videos individually get a pitiful amount of views. He just uploads hundreds upon hundreds upon hundreds, constantly. But that doesn't help advertisers very much, when that viewership is all drawing from the same maybe 600 people or so. Some of DSP's videos only get maybe 100 views.

Have ads ever been effective? "Oh hey I'm gonna go buy Tide when I finish fapping it to Baywatch," said no one ever.

[rabidtictac]

That + a large portion of YouTube's viewership not even seeing the ads, so you don't get brand recognition out of it either.

According to Jay from the game chasers he would watch ad's and pretend like they mattered, like buying a sandwich from wendy's because they ran an ad.



I honestly hope it stays like this forever and even gets worse, I really hope they say "Fuck you were going back to TV" and leaves google in the dust. I know eventually they would probably have sponsors fill the void but any time seeing people like boogie and Joe suffer from there wallets is a good time.

Here's some more crying for the curious.

And everyone says "fuck youtube" like the typical bandwagon bullshit and saying they are going to have to find real jobs now.
