Peace Heavy mk II

Using the calendar is fine imo--I just didn't know that it was open to everyone using it. Edit: just tried and do not have permission to do so.

I know Sai and Zess are aware of the idea. Actually Sai told me to stop being passive aggressive and make a thread about it

Could we possibly bring this back? Or tie this in with the upcoming events calendar? I wouldn't mind being someone who helps run it if there isn't enough people available to keep tabs on doing so.

I didn't know Paganini had received averse reactions other than people thought he sold his soul to the devil

We have the same taste in awful + no1curr bands http://www.last.fm/user/Le_newtype

Welcome! I'm a big fan of most of the groups you've mentioned and the scene's take on gender and gender expression are what helped keep me attached to the scene as well. Based on what you wrote, I take it visual-kei is fairly unknown in Turkey?

ugh Nirvana stans are worst than the bee hive I thought Yngwie was slept on because he writes good solos, but he has an issue with making his music interesting to listen to in other aspects? From the few songs I've heard of his, that seemed to be the case: soloing was great, but the rest of the track, with the exception of few cool bass lines, was pretty much on par with having a human metronome playing with him. For example: My ~*~biggest issue~*~ with the kind of soloing I mentioned earlier is when it's blatant that there's a guitar solo put in because "that's what you're supposed to do in a rock song!!!!" I really don't care if it's sweeping arpeggios or weird bending noises or scratchy static effects or if it's super simple--a solo doesn't have to be Hizaki-tier for me to like it. However, when it's uninspired, fairly out of place, and monumentally short (insert generic vkei w / 8 second solo here) then it's more of a problem. That problem isn't them "trying too hard": like Zess said, the problem is that they aren't trying enough. I get that the point of vkei is to sell an image, which is why there is, more often than not, always 5 member bands even if you clearly don't need 2 guitar parts any of their songs (or when there are 4~6 guitar lines going on at once for some feedback-kei couture), but at least try to come off as less uninspired??? It's amazing that a scene that has the platform to do virtually anything in terms of image or genre flat out just doesn't lmao; but that's a different discussion that strays from this topic.
