First of all, I'd like to agree with punk_afi that a competition shouldn't be won based on music style, it should be based on exactly the same principles the YMCA BOTB was based on: originality, stage presence and overall performance. I believe that is only fair.
Second, musickid, I know for a fact that you are probably the best guitarist in the entire town of Warsaw. I'm sure butt rock solos and finger-tapping aren't anything new or hard for you. But I respect Ingsoc for actually using that in a song. I mean, hell, I haven't seen another band use that in Warsaw I don't think ever. And to say that it's not hard and nothing to be proud of, well, I can't do it, and if I could, I'd be DAMN proud of it. Granted I'm not as good a guitar player as Lugo, but still. I was impressed.
Third, you enjoy screaming, but you were making reference to the American Idols judges. No offense but, what the hell? What we(bands) do is in no way comparable to that show, or anything like it. We play music that we write, with words that mean something to us, with crowds that have passion for music. To try to make a reference to a shitty reality tv show is beyond me, I can't think as to why you would even do that. I'm not trying to be mean at all, and I'm sorry if I have appeared that way. But I know that you love music, hell, look at your name, and I just wonder why you would compare an emotional thing such as screaming to a shitty talent show that's on tv.
Lastly, gbc, I'm not a newbie, as you read earlier, I had an account and i obviously screwed that up, but oh well. Just thought I'd clear that up.
In ending, I'm sorry if I have seemed mean or offensive, but I'm just trying to keep everyone together in this struggling music scene that is left here. It means too much to too many people to just let it die away. Thanks.
