    yup sure ya see this is it. one of the odd things about that Haughey fella was that he was right about the 'leave the artists alone, they are so valuable to this country that if they leave, we're fcuked'.

    I think it was a lot to do with 'we can't have anymore internationally famous writers, playwrights, artists, etc in exile' after Joyce and all them buckos never came back.

    Two of the people you mention in that list of people who moved here 'during that era', I can say for a fact (from the horse's mouth so to speak) did so because of our tax breaks. Well they liked it here, but when you think of how much money they saved by simply living here, it was a no brainer.

    We're talking a lot of money here.

    Two things you're relatively safe on here (but don't let the taxman come near you because even because they're wrong doesn't stop them causing you a nightmare) is gambling and music.

    Of note too is that after the big bucks stopped coming in ........... they legged it again!

    I haven't seen one name of any bands that have paid to play.
    Funnily, the launch night was free in.

    something against FLA? you've mentioned them 2 or 3 times in less than favourable terms. know something we dont? if so please share.

    and if you think the girl is fat, i shudder to think what you'd consider "normal" to be.


    oh and, promoter scam boo-urns etc.

    My biggest gripe with 'Fight like Apes' -- is I actaully had to listen to them, and watch them preform. And then read write up's about them saying they're the hot new thing.

    They don't have any songs. They have some very nice exspensive gear. But there's no magic to them. They're just smug little rich kids.

    If i had lots of cash at my disposal,,I'd like a minikorg,,, they look really cool. I've only played around with one in music maker.

    There's nothing morally superior about poor kids. But the way it works here, doors are slammed tightly shut to some people. And a bit too wide open to some others. 'Fight like Apes' get there good gigs and promotion, not because they're any good. If the pitch were more level,, they would've had to learn their chops properly,, and by the time they got to the point they're at now -- they'd be a good proposition for a night out -- or even have song cools songs worth listening to,,,again and again and again.

    There are many people i know, who are not musicans, but for who music is their life. They work their **** jobs, day in day out, for a meagre material existence -- the function of which is to keep the familys, who produce the likes of 'fight like apes', in Caviar, cocaine and comfort. All my friends ask,, at the end of the day -- is the elites leave them one simple single pleasure -- it's all they ask -- they're willing to put up with all the other bull****, if they're spared just one precious space, where they no longer feel like slaves.

    But,,, you should have seen the looks of horror and disbelief on there faces, when I showed them a few moments of 'Fat like Apes' on you tube.

    (And there's no real reason for a popstar to be fat -- when there's perfectly good amphetamines available at good prices -- 15 year old boys just do not toss themselves off, running erotic fantasy scenarios of fat rock chicks through their heads -- it just doesn't happen. -- Amphetamine crystal has such a bitter taste -- but may take you where you need to go --- and maybe even might give you that special groove you need)

    You could say I'm jealous...... But is it jealousy when a cotton pickin negreo,, resents the plantation owner,,,,,,,,,, and his fat daughter who thinks she's a popstar.

    I'll have what you're having. Seriously, such an utterly pointless rant, culminated by a nice racist conclusion.

    To quote the rock bible:
    "On what day did the lord create krd and couldn't he have rested on that day?"

    Racist against who? - The cotton picker or the plantations owners fat daughter.

    In Guantanamo bay they give you three choices --- either talk or we'll give you.

    Any suggestions why that's so ?

    Sorry I forgot... Some times assembling a sentence is worse then putting one of those flat pack argus things together -- you always end up with a handful of washers and nuts and things, you've no idea where they should've gone :(

    Here's some commas I missed out
    ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

    Some full stops .............................
    and some inverted commas """"""""""""""""""""""""""""
    Some other characters $%£%£*^%*!

    Please fit them in where you see fit.


    And Am I mad to critisise the children of the rich -- as they might come after me :( --- does that make me mad.
    they're all going to be murdered soon anyway -- by the neo-jacobite forces massing - may aswell get a few digs in while they're still alive ---- there's no point in pissing on anyones grave

    I actually liked the Youtube stuff,,, because it was really distorted and a bit edgy.

    But that's nothing like that when they actually play... They don't even really know their own songs... The guy with the Roland plays some sequence -- for a bout 32 bars -- then the band breaks into 8 bars one chord -- 4 bars another chord -- another 4 bars another chord -- then the <snip> girl starts to "sing" -- then another 8 bars some chord, 4 bars something else ,,,,,,,,,,,,,I don't know -- it's like a <snip> rockschool band thing -- but maybe that's some cool thing they're doing that I just don't get

    ... You know exactly what my kind are worth? As far as I know you know absolutely nothing about me, and I mean nothing, not who I am, not what my background was or is, absolutely nothing. Also, class in not an issue around here in any shape or form. We are here for a shared interest in music production. We do not care what someone's background is, rich or poor or somewhere in between, this has sweet fa to do with music production.

    And whether you were bullied or not by the kids of the rich has nothing to do with Fights like Apes (unless of course they were the ones who bullied you, which they probably weren't). For a man with wings what happened when you were a kid shouldn't be weighing you down like it is, so much so that you feel like going off on one about it on a forum to a bunch of complete strangers. And what's more its the music production forum not even personal issues where it would be somewhat understandable.

    Also, if you really do have wings then you shouldn't be going so low as to attack the lead singer of the band band for her personal appearance. Fair enough you don't like their music, but that was a pretty personal attack.

    We'll let the Apes fight but not us, at least not about stuff that isn't Music Prod :D
