So then surely it shouldn't be too hard for you to find one (aside from the aforementioned silverchair thread) where i have done what you've accused me of doing then?I just searched for posts containing 'Muse' by 'Carlos' and found 132.
Or did you make that up? Because wouldn't that be the work of someone guilty of
???a fair chunk of deceit
That indeed would be a
Surely it has to go both ways doesnt it big guy?Disappointing aspect in your character
You're completely full of sh*t.
Well at least you havent got a chip on your shoulder. I was almost worried about you for a minute there...When you explain what 'you value' and it includes 'their musicianship, songwriting, production and ideas and the seemingly dying art of putting on a great live show', which is pretty much everything in a band, then it's a classic underhanded, indirect insult to everyone who doesn't think Muse are great -after all, if you claim Muse have those characteristics, by implication anyone who doesn't like Muse mustn't like those characteristics in a band. It is very simple.
Or are 'indirect' and 'implication' difficult concepts for you?
Do you ever actually listen to yourself? I've never known anyone so completely pre-occupied and effected by someone else's opinions or views on something as what you are with me.
Are you going to let this go any time soon?
Clutching again.Of course you have. As below.
Someone who rates his own intelligence as highly as you clearly do surely should understand the difference between someone hanging sh*t on you for your taste in music and in particular your opinion of a band (such as you've done to me for the last couple of months) as opposed to laughing at the notion that a band (U2) with such obvious playing limitations that even they admit to, could pull off music requiring musicianship that is beyond them.
Not that difficult i would have thought, but as long as you dont have a chip on your shoulder...
F*cken oath i am. U2 have written some incredible songs over their career, but incredible musicians they are not. As stated, they'd be the first to admit that.See here it is. 'Ignorantly'. 'Giggling'. The obsession and condescension is shining through again. Why exactly could U2 not play any of those songs. Are you questioning their musicianship? On what basis?
Surely you're not trying to contend that they are? Oh hang on, you've already done that.
Funny how this "fanboyism" crap you sprout on about doesnt work both ways isn't it?
I am far from a comprehensive expert on musicianship, but it is something that has occupied been the major occupation of a fair chunk of my life, both playing, absorbing and learning. But regardless, my eyes and ears and particularly what i've seen of U2 live make it extremely obvious that they are limited, average musicians. Yes, they're very good at what they do, but it doesnt take great musicianship to do that. That doesnt make it any less valid, but thats not what we're talking about here.
Again, do you ever listen to yourself?See, this is the point. You sick obsession with Muse
Why is it "sick" to be into a band?
Christ you have some demented views on things.
No, i make this claim because U2 have been around for nearly 30 years, i've seen them live in the flesh as well as on a few different releases and the evidence is pretty clear.I'll bet you know absolutely nothing about the musical abilities of any member of U2, and so the only way you could make a claim like that is borne out of your sick obsession with Muse.
But somehow i think that your lofty opinion of U2 may distort your ability to admit this.
Again, this "fanboyism" notion is an interesting one isn't it mate?
Compared to who?You're stretching the truth again. Muse aren't a particularly popular band. Mid-ranks.
U2? Yep, they are mid-ranks then. But bar maybe 3 or 4 bands on the planet, everyone is f*cking mid-ranks compared to U2.
But i dont get your problem admitting that a band who has achieved number 1 albums in as many countries and played to as many people as what Muse have aren't now a big player on the international music scene. That aint fanboyism, thats just the facts.
Firstly, thanks for your concern.My concern relates purely to you bringing Muse into irrelevant threads and then denying you're obsessed. Poor form.
But secondly, despite all the accusations and obsession like behaviour in which you've contended that i've posted "132" times regarding Muse, you still cant find one thread where i've brought them up out of context except for the silverchair thread.
In fact, the only attempt you made was by accusing me of doing it in "the U2 thread" which, as proven, was actually a Muse thread.
Hmmm, revealing indeed. Almost fanboyish even?
I swear its like i'm talking crap with this guy sometimes:Such poor language and disappointing vitriol. You write a long post attacking my perceptions, and expect me not to respond?
Please, try harder next time. This has been a disappointing effort.
