This forum sucks

[MadJohnShaft]

This forum sucks, we should be ashamed.

[Demon Lung]

We need less pictures of brahs on bicycles.

[MadJohnShaft]

We need people to listen to stonerrock and type about it.

[The Bandit]

If you ain't the solution, then you are the problem.

[MadJohnShaft]

You are the solution to a non-existent problem.


We should all review StonerRock CDs like in the old days - we have all the same people - 'I drank some brewskys at O'reilly Irish Inn with this band's bassist and their CD is awesome. Don't be gay, you should buy it. Only a douchebag wouldn't'

Those things wrote themselves, come on dinger you can do it.

[Dunedin]

MJS; would you like me to write a review?

[MadJohnShaft]

Someone's got to do something - my username is on all the album review threads as the last post - which is a bad sign.

Uncle Acid sat up top on the list of album review posts like we're the goddamned ghost town that is The Obelisk.

I accept the challenge, just not this evening, I've drunk too much wine already.

[Lumpy]

You scared everybody off with your constant mocking of 'Compound Disk Reviews'. Make up your mind.

[MadJohnShaft]

Probably. I'm saying - do more bad reviews

[SabbathJeff]

So like, you want me to take my already exquisitely poor live reviews on a blog, put them in an album context, and post them on this site? 

I talk about about music enough as it is man, so much that I've been quoted by bv apparently, so I'm not looking to start a reviewing album career, more a making album covers career/gig flyers too .

But if this is a drill from Shaftral I'm going to be pissed, because I do believe in Operation: Doom Over The World and album reviews are indeed and a healthy part of that, I love reviews myself, as 1/2 the time I may buy an album before ever hearing it based on a good review, and I mean a good review itself too, well-written, profound, journeying to an apex.

Sorry man, I've wasted enough of my life on this music, there are more important things I'd rather be doing.


Besides, I don't even listen to stoner rock or doom much anymore.  I can't relate to it, so I'm not going to be able to write about it.  You should probably ask someone who actually cares.

Edit: On second though, I hope nobody does write reviews for here.  It actually saddens me when people take time out of their life to write about music, especially if they can actually write and connect with people well.  There are so many things that could be written about something that actually matters, that would perhaps make a difference in life, change things for the better, make the world a more joyful, peaceful place.  Writing about stoner rock CD's?  As one who's been there, I gotta agree with Shaft, that's a waste of time, resources and talent (not that I ever had any to begin with;))

[Jor el]

I agree with Andy

[MadJohnShaft]

He's one of the original awesomegaydouchebag CD reviewers though, that doesn't wash off with soap and water.

You're right, I had to use sandpaper and sulfuric acid 

[MadJohnShaft]

C'mon, you got one more in you.   Do it for Boston.

[Lumpy]

Why don't you write some reviews, Shaft? You have the gift of gab, and an awesomegaydouchebag Compound Disk collection. Or maybe assign an intern at work to do it.

[FloydianDragonaut]

Hey guys, I'm new here. Doesn't look like people post here too often but I figured I'd give it a shot. I really enjoyed the old Stonerrock.com forum and was pretty bummed when it went away.

[MadJohnShaft]

The professional awesomegaydouchebag CD reviewers from the old website are all still at it on The Obelisk, because they have sticks up their butt about it and cannot be forced to stop.

as long as the art is good, the subject matter is not of central importance. who are you to say what "matters" to other people?

we have differing views on what an artists does i guess.

[GodShifter]

I have to agree with Chives here. What if someone enjoys writing reviews for things? Be it this 'shitty' forum, a blogspot, or someone else. One man's filet mignon is another's shoe leather (or something to that effect).

[khoomeizhi]

or what if someone enjoys and feels themselves to lead a life changed for the better by a compound disk, found through a review written on however shitty a forum by however shitty a reviewer?


someone better write a damn review, jack.

('chives' is good, let's keep that)

[Lumpy]

Feedback from reviews are definitely an important part of the process. Newer bands need to know that somebody is listening, besides their friends...

That post saddens me, I'm sure you used to really enjoy writing therefor it was worthwhile, and I always really enjoyed your reviews. People write about music because they love it, people should do what they love, and all the writings contribute to keeping the scenes blood flowing around healthily, I love blogs/reviews etc and getting on to new music through them, it's also interesting to know what other people think, we love this shit don't we?

MJS is right we should rev it up here!

And I would write about something that I think is really important, and that would make a difference (animal rights, factory farming, meat, slaughter, the environment) but I'd get slated to fuck by loads of people and start loads of arguments with people insulting one another and therefor wouldn't last long doing it.

And besides, music is important and does make a difference..

[MadJohnShaft]

Well, we won't know if reviews change someone's life for the better, or if like on El Danno land, they destroy StonerRock, until we try.
