Isn't your name the name of a song...thats considered Metal? =P

If it is, that's not why I chose it.

[Monkeydog]

No, the other one. helterskelter, the one that shows up in the arcade.

McCartney was inspired to write the song after reading a newspaper review of The Who's latest single, most likely "I Can See For Miles." The review described the single as the loudest, wildest song ever recorded, with distorted guitars, reverb, and screaming. McCartney took this as a challenge to write something louder and "Helter Skelter" was the result. Some historians of popular music believe that this song was a key influence on the development of heavy metal.

Yeah, it is. But that's Ok. Unlike the topic at hand, the Beatles actually had talent. However, I only chose it as a name because it happened to be what was randomly playing when I registered.

All this talk of metal makes me want to go listen to Angry White Boy Polka for some reason.

how.....incredibly boring.

you know, that could even be considered pathetic...

[Monkeydog]

What is Puffin?

[Puffin]

just making your sn whatever's playing.

though, it's not as sad as just making some generic name with a bunch of numbers. he has a plus on that =P

[Monkeydog]

Well Helter Skelter is a good song...

I make my news posts whatever I'm listening to. =/

[Puffin]

that makes sense, but a screen name...? there's usually a little more personality or creativity attached to those.

[Monkeydog]

Actually, Helter Skelter makes a lot of sense if you're a crazy bastard.

So you're saying that Metal composers don't have talent? Now that is really sad to say. Metallica for instance, or even better; Iron Maiden. Now they have major tallent. And going on to bands nowadays; Valfar had talent, too bad he died though. And Wintersorg he has major tallent too, leading like 5 bands. Hell all the bands I listen to has talent and the songs are really well composed. I don't like the simple composed noisey Metal. Maybe you haven't heard any melodic metal which I listen too.

[Vicious Parker]

I will say, though. most metal would be alright if it had no vocals whatsoever. Metal singers can't sing. It really just ruins everything (you know, the music, my ears, etc.).

[Puffin]

blah, both of your whinings is annoying AND boring.....if yer gonna spam, make it have more of a purpose than saying what sucks and what doesn't. (that doesn't make sense, but ohwell.)

[Sinuyen]

i like to listen to rock music, its all good. but the more hardcore and the more screamin there is, the less i tend to like it.

Are we avoiding the irony of you telling us to spam with purpose?

Yeah, like...Puffin must have taken you hours to think up. Toyz In The Attic was quite a difficult one to come up with, too. I mean...first I had to take an Aerosmith song and then decide which letter to replace with a Z...took me days to get right...And I mean...because it really matters, right? People are always criticizing people's names.

And yeah, what Invince said.

Word of advice: don't be stupid.

Like I said, "that doesn't make sense, but ohwell." when I said that, I meant it probably didn't make sense for me to be saying that.

A smart person wouldn't have bothered posting anything.

[toysintheattic]

Right. Sure.

[Puffin]

glad you see it my way :p

You must be refering to the growling here. But note that a lot of metal bands use clean vocals. Really good ones actually. Sonata Arctica? Damn Tony Kakko's voice rules major arse. And no single growl =o!
