Fact remains that most artists don't even make money of record sales. We're not stealing from the artists, we're stealing from the people who are stealing from the artists. They are in desperate need of a reality check. And most of us try to give it back to the actual artists by going to their shows and buying their merchandise. The only thing downloading has done for me is introduce me to a bunch of good artists. Modest Mouse, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, the EElS. Stuff I never would have heard of without having downloaded it. I bought their merchandise and went to their shows afterwards (or at least tried to, I missed Clap Your Hands Say Yeah not so long ago... but I did buy their record, which is self-released and therefore goes straight to them) I sometimes download music and don't go to the shows or buy merch. Why? Because it's not good enough. I wouldn't have bought their records either way. The RIAA is an organisation that keeps biting the hands that feed them. They keep alienating and patronising the people who are, despite their apparent denial of this, still their consumer base. If you're going to do something, you should at least be professional about it. The RIAA isn't. EDIT: Of course, there are some stupid people out there who don't. They called down the thunder, they got it. Thankfully, most of these are chavs who only listen to whatever poopy rap artist they saw on MTV.

Right, because when they do it, it's wrong, when you do it, it's fine. The death penalty is hypocrisy at it's finest.

I'm sorry, WHO got back together? If you had told me a couple years back that Greenday was going to become more popular than ever, I'd have been fine with it. Now? Not so much. American Idiot was terrible and not deserving of such fame. I suppose that's why they got it.

Alter Bridge - Metalingus I feel like the world has imploded and became even more bizarre. Creed was terrible. How could they just switch singers, change their guitar tuning, and sound so goddamn awesome?

A bag of m&ms.

Gee, excuse me if I don't read through every thread.

That's what I thought too, but he really was outnumbered. And Hulk Hogan was on their side. That guy grins and suckerpunches. Still, it's Chuck Norris. He can touch MC Hammer.

I HATE ALL OF YOU! ...I get car sick...

Metallica - Eye Of The Beholder Switched to Pearl Jam - Release

He's ;gothish; not goth. I actually like the fact he's not as hardcore than most goths. It makes him seem more oringial as opposed to most posers. Also, all my characters have a bit of me in them and I happen to adore Alice In Chains(R.I.P. Layne Staley) so that's my personality peeking through. Also, I probably didn't mention that as a favour ot my friend, Cordell is gay. Excuse ant typos I made, it's 3:30 in th morning and I'm smashed as hell ad tired from moshpitd. EDIT: Man, I am so ****ing sorry for this post. Anyway, it's vector art. Flash. Also, Cradle of Filth is for posers. If you're going to take an extreme metal band, at least take one whose demographic isn't 15 year old girls.

Character design. I messed up the leg. Eh. Cordell Funderbunk, an occult-obsessed goth-ish person. Bigger version here: http://vehiko.homestead.com/files/CordellColour.png Pointers appreciated.

Type O Negative - Back In The USSR Live - Beatles Cover HILARITY!

EElS - Elizabeth On The Bathroom Floor Gary Jules - Mad World Dashboard Confessional - This Old Wound The Foo Fighters - Razor Also, KoRn - Daddy, but for entirely different reasons than the others.

Audioslave - Your Time Has Come I don't care what anyone says, Audioslave is ****ing awesome. People complain that they sound too clean, but most bands sound so clean because of studio mixing and whatever, and these guys actually sound clean because of their SKILL. That gives them some serious points for awesomehood.

What a great scientific achievement.

You ****. I just spent the whole day at that site because of you. These guys are ****ing awesome. I especially like the 'worst black metal photos' parts.

True...except for the one graphic application that really matters...GAMES! What, games matter? I thought they were just distraction and escapism? My friend makes a living doing comics and he uses a Mac. I'd think if you can make a living using your computer, it matters more than gaming. Unless you're one of those pimple-faced weirdoes who thinks gaming is actually a sport, despite the fact you don't really DO anything.

It was amusing for a while, yes. This while came over four years ago.

I really don't care whether there are guys or gals in the boardroom. Either way they're beauracratic freaks.

Come on, guys. The joke isn't even funny.

I moved away from God because he decays society. "God Hates ****", anyone? Things like that is what decays society. EDIT: What, I can't use a synonym for a bundle of sticks now? I have gay friends who don't mind.

I don't get it. I hate that song. What's so good about it? I mean, I'm no Godsmack hater, I figure, I loved Alice in Chains so listening to an almost direct clone of them isn't really that bad, but I never understood why they released THAT song as a single. It's their worst song. Listen to Trippin' or Keep Away or Voodoo instead.

*sigh* Hollywood is the U.S. Film Industry. It doesn't matter if Americans funded it or not, it wasn't made by the U.S. Film Industry. It was made by the New Zealand Film Industry. The same arguement can be made against your point by saying WingNut is involved. It proves nothing.

I suggest you look up what Hollywood is, captain elitist.
