[Abstractive Misery]

Greetings & Salutations,

I am Alex, im 20 i come from the United Kingdom.

The mad thing is i dont enjoy Harry Potter, i just wanted to find somewhere to have a lively conversation with some new people,  i have been on other forums before but i felt bored debating with the same people again and again, because i would always hand people their asses or at least come to an agreement.

I dont know if their will be many people on here who are on the same wavelength as I, im sorry to say but i have very stereotypical views of fans of children's films & books, no offence intended.

My main interests are Music, Artistic Photography, Media Studies and Debating with others, i find it interesting to get into the mind of others and i am intrigued but the views & beleifs of others.

Anyway, thats enough about me. Here I am.

I hope to get alot from this experiance, we shall see what lies ahead.

Thanks,

- AM

Hey There.

Another person who takes pride in his music, im glad to see i am not alone.

I dont like harry potter either but i like to post on the off-topic area, there are a few topics about music in there you should check out.

[Abstractive Misery]

A Metallica fan eh?

Well im certainly surpirsed, i thought i would be the odd one out here, i was under the impression that you all spent your time swooning over teenagers who cant act in a really hped up and unoriginal version of a classic kids book. Not to call you all sheep.

Well then things certainly just got a little more interesting didnt they?

Are there many more of your "sort" around here? i would be glad to get into some of your opinions.

What kind of music are you listening to? and do you play any instruments?

[Miss Self Destruct]

Currently i have a wide range of musical taste. I like mostly Rock/Metal. Though i can turn to other genres such as Jazz & Blues, at the moment i have been experimenting with alot of new bands that i havent listened to before, i have started getting into Mindless Self Indulgance, you know that kind of area, the whole Rock/Pop NIN thing more than i would have before, its something a bit diffrent but i like it.

Yup, i play Guitar & Drums, Drums mainly but i like to try my hand at something different now and again, like writing riffs for guitar to fit into the ideals of a song i have been pondering on. Im in a band with a couple of my mates and its starting to get a bit more serious now, before it was simply a case of geting together and jamming for the hell of it.

You in a band? What kinda stuff do you like?

[Abstractive Misery]

Yup i like MSI, they have a unique sound which is always something thats hard to pull off without sounding corny. My favourite band is probably Tool, i love the way that Maynard writes, and i have no idea what the hell goes on inside that guys head but its something good....disturbing, but good.

Yeah im in a band, have been for the past 3/4 years, they are like my second family and are a bunch of amazing guys. Another Thing, you dont find many girls in the alternative industry do you? Ha, you must feel a little dominated? maybe not. But, most of the female musicians i have spoken to do.

By The Way, how did you get those icons on your account? could you do that for me?

Its OK if you cant.

[Miss Self Destruct]

Yup sure I'll PM you how to do it, and i'll make you some.

MSI sure have a great sound, indeed. Maynard is one of the most talented human beings on the planet, aswell as Tom Morello & Mike Patton. Dont you agree? You have good taste my friend!

Haha, im not intimidated at all, i know what you mean though men tend to look down on woman in the music industry, yeah she is a chick, she cant rock as hard as us, Whatever. I hope you dont believe that. But with with a name like Abstractive Misery why would you? I take it your a Screaming Silent fan? Lou is really talented at what she does, she is one of the hardest rocking chicks in the business.

[Abstractive Misery]

Thanks, thats really good of you.

Ha, no i dont look down on women in the business, i have chick friends who are in bands, some of them are probably better than i am. I am a Screaming Silent fan yeah, not only is Lou all of the things you said, she is also pretty hot too, you might not see that side so much though being a girlie, unless you like a bit of both worlds Ha, alot of girl musicians are bi though, or can see other woman as sexy, i think its something to do with expressing themselves like they do through music, i dont dig other guys though. Not my thing at all.

[Miss Self Destruct]

Reminds me i really need a new signature myself, meh i shall knock one up later on.

Oh well, im glad you dont look down on us, its just stupid to think that because we are female we cant do the same as you guys, it really irritates me when guys think that.

Yeah, she is a very sexy lady, but i am straight so it goes no further than that lol. But i do like expressing myself in other ways.

[Fawkes]

Well first of all Harry Potter isn't a kids book ::) But anyway Welcome to HPFF!
Even if your not a Harry Potter fan, your quite welcome here! You can -like Lady Justice said- check out the Off topic section. I hope you enjoy yourself here!

[0612]

Well, welcome. ;D

I can understand your frustration with that viewpoint, its not a fair judgment to make at all.

Wow, I actually didnt think that many people had even heard of Silent, they arent all that well known at all, its really surpirising, i have met Lou when they played a small gig near where i live, they were one of many bands there, i interviewed her for a local mag that i have put a few articles in. She is a really interesting person, she is so polite and she can be really humorous, and just think she is about the same age as you, and she is already well on her way up the musical ladder. Not to mention she is stunningly beautiful.

how did you first get aquainted with SS?

[Miss Self Destruct]

Hey! i hate you, you have really got me obsessed with them now hehe.

Hence my new sig & av, you like? i love the artwork in the sig its really unusual but it looks really good i didnt want to do much to it because i was scared i would waste the effect.

BTW howcome they dont have a website? I know they aint all that well known but they should have one. I started listening to them a couple of months ago, i didnt really think much at the time, they were just anouther new band i hadnt listened to and one of my friends told me to check them out, i liked their stuff but i didnt think it was anything special at the time. Though i did love the riff for AM it reminded me strangley of Bulovard of Broken Dreams by Green Day even though it aint really the same, that was during the time when i was obsessed mostly with really heavy stuff and as you can tell i am an avid Metallica fan so i was more interested in that stuff than being bothered with this more poetic stuff.

Last night after talking to you i had a craving for their stuff because i had really forgotten all about them until i saw your name and we got talking, i have realised actually how deep some of the songs are and....wow, and i really mean wow.

wow you have met her? you're lucky.
