well i was going to mention that timmmy torment sounded 42% better last friday than when i saw them in july at classic rhythms...but that's from a redcats standpoint so it's basically void of any integrity anyway.

You asked for it.
The singer: He can scream, I'll give him that. But not well. He has the technique figured out, but he has little control over it and absolutely no range. He "blats" whenever he starts screaming; he needs to learn how to break into it without doing that. This is coming from someone who also does screaming growling vocals and yes, I can do better. Much better.
Guitarists: The larger fellow seems to always fuck up drastically every single show. Something goes wrong with his guitar or amp, or he's terribly out of tune. He also seems to struggle to keep up. The other guitarist is a little more solid, but not amazing. He can sing... barely. He's on key about half the time (which sadly puts him above more local band vocalists). His voice, however, is annoying and punky. He doesn't do much with it either. Still, it's much better than when the main vocalist tries to sing--that's just terrible.
Bassist: Looks like a girl. Unoriginal. Doesn't stand out at all in the band.
Drummer: The drummer is a band's foundation. It structures the timing, etc. This drummer has terrible timing. He's always off. And that last show he TRIED to double kick. He failed miserably, and if it wasn't bad enough that he failed, he was TRYING to double kick half the fucking time they were playing (mostly at completely inappropriate times)! He made the terrible music even worse.
The band as a whole: Bad. Bad. Bad. The songwriting is uninspired and lame. some songs drag on and on and on, yet it's just the same shit over and over again. Long songs are great, but only if they have variety (not 3 fucking riffs in a 6 minutes song). The band's EXTREMELY sloppy, and they ruin the sound that they're going for, which isn't even a good one. The band lacks variety, and does not stand out at all. It's just a lesser clone.
If it's any consolation, you're still better than half of the local bands. But nonetheless, Timmy Torment does indeed suck.

that have only been together for 8 mouths and yes we suck..but we are gettign better..its called learning u fucks..some people haft to do it to get good at things..and that last guy that just said all that shit..fuck u, u stupid piece of worthless shit..sorry im am trying not to get mad..but u are making fun of my frieands and pahsion and me don't let it get you down man, but i mean when someone in your band posts a thread saying that their own band sucks, even if he is joking, when you actually do still need work, what are you going to expect from teenagers on the internet? don't take it personally, and don't start bands for any other reason than wanting to make good music.

Not only that, but people get really frusturated, and sick and tired of seeing half-assed bands. Whether you're learning or not, it doesn't change the fact that people are going to look at you objectively.
Maybe eventually you'll do better, anyway.

Ok, I've gotta say that I'm tired of the pointless shit-talking that goes on on this message board, as well as in the Abby scene in general. It's depressing and unproductive; it creates a hostile atmosphere that doesn't foster musical growth at all. Who wants to write songs and play shows in a scene where there's inevitably going to be some cold-blooded bullshit on a public forum the next day?
Don't get me wrong: obviously everyone is going to have an opinion on all of the bands in this scene, and that's fine. But saying retarded shit like "Band X sucks cock, they should all kill themselves now and stop polluting the scene with their shitty music" is totally unhelpful and essentially makes you look like an elitist dick. How about this: if you don't like a band or feel that their latest release/show was lacking, think of ways that they could improve and let them know! If you have to criticize, which is totally acceptable, make it constructive and designed to help the band as artists; don't write some witty, "funny" explanation of how badly you think they suck.
For fuck's sake, people!!! We're all musicians and music lovers, aren't we? Let's make this a great music scene where all styles and forms of music feel welcome. Let's use our individual experiences as musicians to help those who we feel need it, not tear down every band or song that plays something that we don't like or understand. Or, we could continue to pointlessly rip into Timmy Torment and Sans Nathaniel, create enemies and divisions in the scene, and be cynical and over-opinionated.
For the sake of the scene, I say less shit-talking and unhelpful critcism, more unity and mutual respect.
-Jordan
