Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

  • bands you've never heard of

    post the names/links of bands that rock but are not so well known:

    here, I'll start:

    Pond - early 90s grunge band, very poetic lyrics



    Tilted Walls - some russian band that used to be on mp3.com, but I don't know what's going on with the site nowadays. They're very talented.

    we are scientists - they're ok
    We Are Scientists and we are also a New York City-based rock band.


    Chronic Remorse - my high school band, donno where they are right now, they played a couple of shows at the Roxy and Whiskey, if anyone has spotted them, let me know.

    ok, that's it for now
    please contribute

    I think the reason why this thread did not work is because one could pull a name off of the marquis of any local club and it would do no good to the people reading here. Also, there are many old rock bands that most people are not familiar with and they are not familiar with them because they do not care about old rock.

    Fantomas has a new album out that has only one 57 minute long track.

      allright, sure, whatever. But the reason I started this thread was because I wanted to find out about more bands that are out there that are worth checking out. I know there are a lot of small bands playing shows at local clubs all the time, but not all of them are good. In fact I think most of them suck. I don't have a whole lot of time on my hands right now to go check them out in person either. So yeah, that was my reasoning for starting the thread. Sucks that it didn't fly, but whatever (I like that word a lot, kinda described my general attitude about everything)

          Ahhhh....the one band that I didn't see opening for TOOL on their last tour. I got to see Meshugga and Tomahawk, both of which....I....didn't care for, let's just put it that way.

          Funny that they have one 57 minute track. I've always invisioned this one, intense and long track on an album. It could be broken up into sections, but would be meant to be played continously. Something along the lines of Rush's 2112 Overature, except more of a none stop flow. If only I actually played an instrument.....or could read and write sheets....or......had....anything to do with music.....

          Anyways, ummm....let's see, not so familiar/popular bands... I don't know of too many off the top of my head. In fact, the only one I can think of at the moment is Kyuss (old school )

            Ever heard Yes's "Tales From Topographic Ocean's"? It is a 2 disc album that has only four tracks. Difficult listening but interesting at times. Rush's 2112 is wonderful.

                Wasn't Jethro Tull's "Brick" only one song?

                You guys should listen to Spiritualized "Lazer Guided Melodies."

                  This is a great album by a great band that not too many people have heard of. They aren't obscure or anything, but they deserve more recognition than they get.
