You guys have worn me out

mushroomhead would have been awesome live, out of all those listed i have onlu seen machine head but they were awesome(were opening for slipknot) for some of the better known bands slipknot twice, trivium once(didnt enjoy them tbh but didnt mind them), killswitch engage, shadows fall, divine hersey, bring me the horizon twice, the red shore twice, i killed the prom queen, so a few biggish bands(also thy art is murder a few times though i have a few disagreements with what they do live so its a never again situation for them) but mostly i see pretty local bands who are not well known…cheaper like that :stuck_out_tongue: mudvayne and hell yeah would be fun too

I hope this is not true. But maybe more diluted. Somethings you would have to be a monster not to feel for.

Oh Nevermore.

I have a sad story to tell you.

I saw Nevermore back in the early 2000’s. I had… the biggest crush on Warrel Dane. Like… he was just so my type. 100 percent my type. I fell in love with him when I heard this for the first time:

Even now when I listen to it, I will tear up. Anyway, my best friend knew how much I loved Warrel. I mean it was almost crazy how much I wanted to meet the guy. His voice was like an angel’s in my ears, I felt it in my soul. So she got us tickets to Metalfest that year and we went to see Shadows Fall, Lacuna Coil, Nevermore, and Opeth.

When Warrel came out on the stage my jaw just dropped and I clapped my hands over my face and I just almost lost it. I stood there and sang along and watched as the stage filled with people because they were just letting… everyone get up on that stage while they closed out with The Sound of Silence. I couldn’t bring myself to go up there. I was afraid I’d make a fool out of myself.

After Nevermore’s set I went outside for a cigarette. I saw Warrel go around the back of the building. He was alone. I could have said hi. I could have worked up the courage to talk to him. He saw me. He waved. My heart melted. I waved back… and then ran back inside.

A few years later I made a new friend at another show. Turned out he was the first person to climb on the stage that night, this dude who drank Warrel’s beer and sang a few licks into the microphone. Turned out he was friends with Warrel. Cue me telling him how I had this huuuuuge crush on Warrel but I was scared to death to talk to him.

He says, “Oh but you’re exactly his type.” He offers to introduce me. I say no, because… I’m too scared. He offers again a few months later and a few months after that. I keep refusing.

And now… Warrel is dead. I don’t have many regrets in my life, but I regret not taking that chance when I could have. I should have.

Annnd that’s my sad story for the year.

Oh see now I’m remembering more that I’ve seen. From the other post I responded to, I’ve also seen Nevermore, Opeth, Lacuna Coil, Shadows Fall, Slipknot, Bring me the Horizon, a bunch of other bands I don’t really like but were just at festivals like Asking Alexandria and Black Veil Brides. I saw Huntress and Butcher Babies too, unfortunately. I remember Butcher Babies playing at Mayhem festival and I couldn’t stand the sound of wailing felines in heat, so I screamed ‘YOU SUCK’ in the direction of the stage and people started laughing. I should have felt bad but I didn’t lol.

I only can last 2 or 3 games then I get bored. Overwatch doesn’t have that vibe and the playerbase gotten worst due to how many players left. All you have are non motivated players and have fun in their own twisted way.

I believe it outranks LoL now and it’s in the top 5 of toxic.

Wow… That’s a sad story of a life time. I’m sorry you never got to know him. At least he left behind amazing songs to look back at. And he’ll always be that legend.

oh I have this feeling this pertains to me

to add a little context:
OP barges in a thread with a very poorly thought out opinion and I blasted him for it
I don’t feel sorry in the slightest, if you want to dish it out prepare to take some too. That’s what a real grown man should do.

Yeah, I have his solo album and all of Nevermore’s stuff. I keep most of it on regular rotation, though there’s a few songs I can’t listen to anymore… in particular Garden of Grey… lol

I mean… mmmmmphhhh.

That song is a sure way to a goth girl’s heart. (“When the nightshade blooms in your eyes, let my sin pour in you…”) kjalksjakljsklajskljslkjkjKLJ

… okay I’m listening to it now :stuck_out_tongue:

People still have a tiny bit of empathy, but yeah, It is pretty bad. Getting a minimum wage job these days often requires constant lying and cheating just to work for pennies and be treated like pure trash to stay in complete poverty. A kind person can’t really survive in this world anymore.

Pat yourself on the back and find the nearest door. You’ll understand why many will not sympathize with you either.

A real man takes his money with him and never returns to the toxic place. Why fight back when the company itself is toxic? If anything I thank you for being negative so this game can crumble even more.

And there it is.

There will always be negative and U.S.A has become a gullible country. It’s like someone been plotting for these events to happen for years to the extent it invades the market industry. A kind person can survive, but they have to hustle their way through and be word savvy.

I’m not here to garner sympathy, I’m here because OP is not telling the whole truth. He is not the victim he thinks he is, that’s all.

i didnt know you were writing his biography

Every day you live, you get closer to the release of Cyberpunk 2077.

Very true. Looking forward to this. And Division 2. Ubi seemingly fixed a lot of stuff from the first iteration. Also, i got it free with the purchase of AMD gpus. Woo free games.

True… kind of.
Hustling usually means, ‘i work hard and still can’t make ends meet because of how poorly employers and systems treat me so i have to work even harder.’ That lack of empathy from groups has an incredible impact.

Hustling is just working extra hard in order to retain empathy, so one can succeed without sacrificing it.

Just.
Mute.
Them.
You’ll be fine

Victim? Please we’ve all been victim to the toxicity in the competitive gaming world especially here. You can quit the devil’s advocate act now.

Life ain’t easy, but if there’s a positive in the mix of progress. Empathy comes with it.
