most local awesome gig you ever been to?

From the way you've phrased you previous post, the impression I got was that of blatant disregard to what Impiety and Firebrands have done by saying that Astroninja will TAKE OVER both bands, in terms of their profile views and song plays. Whats up with that? Was that even necessary? These bands have paid their dues and are reaping the rewards of their hardwork. THAT IS WHAT TICKED ME OFF. I understand you are a close friend of astroninja, but that did not give you any right to disrespect what Impiety and Firebrand have done.
I dont really like to give my point of view to situations like this, but your last post was rude.

Leevan, I have not mistaken anyone here. I know who is who here.

Yes, im limited and narrow-minded.
And no, I will not be changed.

Alright :)
You and visa two have a go at it.
I'm so not getting involved in this!

I love Impiety! One of the most awesome metal bands in Singapore IMHO. And my friend from Finland has heard of them too!
And many members of Firebrands have quit their jobs or sacrificed a lot for what they have, and I think that is fully admirable and respectable.

So I would appreciate it if my band's name wasn't pulled into this nasty mix between you two.

Thanks you! Muack! :)

Now now;

OVERTAKE and TAKE OVER have very different meanings. If entity A overtakes entity B by any forms of measurement, it does not discount the talent or ability of entity B in any way.

Would I be insulting Asafa Powell's dedication and hard work if I said that Usain Bolt was going to overtake him in the 100m?

Would it be disrespectful to the United States if I said that China's economic growth is going to exceed its own?

I can say with absolute honesty and conviction that I have immense respect and love for both Impiety and Firebrands, and I don't believe that I am insulting them in any way.
 
my lover and i enjoyed March12's set when they opened for Anberlin.

will never forget that set.

local band of a high standard.

btw, Visa, u shld aim to enter law sch.

u'll make a gd public prosecutor.

see u in court.
 
I personally really enjoyed their set with Vertical Rush at *scape Labs- their bass & drum groove was tighter than any other local band I've caught so far.

And thanks for the compliment, Krist! Not interested in law school though. Too much reading and work to do, I'd just die!

dearxarson perhaps you have misunderstood Visa. it's obvious he meant no malice, a wrong choice of words maybe.
 
Re : Further From Myself..

i hope march12 will continue to belt out beautiful songs with dewi marie at the helm.

i also hope that armchair critic will come up with more cooler acoustic videos like the ones i saw on youtube, the background being some building infront of grass patches.

dear fellow soft members, i plead with u.

at times, u have to look beyond the super hardcore level of english being used by some, who naturally are nice pple but more importantly, identify the instigators amongst the crowd.

these are the clowns who love to sit back and watch free show while two pple 'fight' in the forum.

they may be a BBC or CNN reporter, but this doesn't mean that they can flee the scene after creating havoc.

anyways, to Visa & Associates, do check this video out.

and James, kindly do not remove this post and put it somewhere.

the above link is a dedication to all forum members of SOFT.

i don't intend to play hide-and-seek in this forum.

I don't know.
In my honest opinion,
I think Visa was just making a comment, there was no malice involved.
And dearxarson did somewhat overreact to the comment, but he was just trying to raise a concern he felt strongly about which is his entitlement.The 'havoc' that Krist was referring to started upon his reaction to visa and visa's strong reaction to his comment.

But that's just my opinion. I don't really have a strong view for or against either of them. I think they both had good intentions. I am just making clear that Visa's views do not reflect mine or anyone else in my band, that's all.

But if they want to exert their point of views, it's their right to. I don't think either of them have gotten out of hand or disturbed anyone else.

And Krist, we know you're not the type to flee :) From what I recall, you encourage 'meeting up to settle things' from a previous post of yours :) That is indeed very manly. :P We should all strive to be like you................... (trails off). This is a forum, these things do happen. If you want a big happy family, go visit Santa Claus. But even big happy families argue sometimes, so just let them argue and I'm sure things will turn out fine with or without your moral preachings.

On a side note, which is actually the note of this topic before it got sidetracked :), I thought the B-Quartet launch gig was supreme! While watching it, I think everyone was going "Oh, my, goodness!". Great musical skills there with a very well represented video collage that went with it.

And also, I loved the Rivermaya show when they performed with Electrico at Bar None a few years ago. I'm constantly amazed by them (with their old singer). That was super fun and emotionally intense.

4) Valentine's Letter
5) Shot From Above
6) The November Iris
7) Withered Tree
8) Firebrands

Why don't you organize it?
After all, you're really good with criticizing and accusing the contributions of others.
Why don't you shut the lovelovelovelove up here already and do it? Don't talk, just lovelovelovelovelovelovelove do it. And if you can't, quit whining like a little lovelovelovelovelove before I really lovelovelovelovelove slap you.

You accuse me as an instigator of an argument I did not start. You accuse me of being biased in my coverage of local bands in LIME and insult my professional integrity without even the most remote of knowledge to back up your accusations. That is TWICE you have done this and I have been nice to you each time you've done it. Both times I have explained myself to you despite not having to.

Now I want to see YOU organize your own show, go out of this forums and work on Sundays for the scene, do something real instead of posting lirrelevant YouTube videos just to change subjects when you are being verbally cornered, you little punk ass lovelovelovelovelove.

Still here? Figures.
