Happy Noodle Boy is the funniest thing since Homestarrunner.com but Thora Birch is the "bestest". And for some strange reason, Joey Jordison of Slipknot and Murderdolls is scary yet hot. I don't know but I like to think that I do- so in the words of Ricky from American Beauty, "Never underestimate the power of denial."

Peace. Out.

Why does everyone hate emo so much? I'm not complaining, I'm just curious. I personally like emo bands, certain bands, not all. And if you are going to respond to this question, don't just say "Cuz its stupid" I want an honest response, and on honest opinion. Your response is greatly appreciated. (link)
I don't really mind emo. That said, I don't really like it either. It's really hard for me to listen to people spending whole albums whining (and their voices do tend to sound like whining) about how they lost their girlfriends, or their dogs, plane ticktes, SOMETHING. I mean really, you'd think they fell in love with everyone and everything because every song sounds the same to me- all heartbroken and slightly pathetic. I guess I'm just easily bored but I rather like variety in my music instead.


Who's better?
Britney or Christina (link)
neither. They're both overrated. Apart from all the stupid frills (or lack thereof for that matter, Christina's got the better voice but I'm getting really sick of the falsetto trend. Oy, just pick one note and sing it. Quit sliding all up and down the scale already.


I entered in a chance to win a fender "something or other" But I doubt I'll win. . So I will be crossing my fingers, and looking for a bass at the same time, thanks! (link)
Probably a Fender Stratocaster. Those are good. Too bad nobody gives away Gibsons. Now THAT would be one great thing to win. Anyway, good luck.....I wish I could play bass....


Why do people who don't know shit about music insist on "answering" some of these questions, when they have absolutely nothing to offer?

I mean, if I were to ask the best way to resolve a chord progression, there would be at least 4 people who would answer by saying that they have no clue. Why? Why do these people feel compelled to answer on subjects they don't know jack-shit about?

p.s. - if you don't play guitar, don't answer guitar questions. If you don't play music, don't answer questions about how to play something or about music theory.

Thank you, that is all. (link)
Yeah I ask that question every time I get on here. You make complete sense dude, I have no idea what chord progression is (I could ask my dad and find out but...nah) so I wouldn't answer that question. However, I've played piano, flute, clarinet, and tried guitar so I can answer a few from past experiences. And to all those who say "chill out, advicenators is just for fun, people just like to answer stuff for fun"- DON'T. It's not helpful, it makes you look like a moron for coming on someone's page just to say you don't know, and furthermore, it's not just for fun, it's to help someone. So at least answer the ones you know for sure, don't just answer everything just for the sake of answering. It makes you look like you just like to see your own typing.


i want to get a gutar, but i dont no what to get? i dont want it to hurt my fingers but i want to rock!

what should i get? (link)
Well, if you want to rock, go electric. See if you can rent one, because you might get tired of it and stop wanting to play guitar- renting lets you give it back. Go to a local guitar store, usually those guys are really helpful and know what they're talking about. They'll help you find a guitar that's the right size for your hands, etc. All guitars are going to hurt your fingers for a while, but you'll get callouses and then it won't matter anymore.


this may seem shallow but, why are all the young teenagers(generally below 15) OBSESSED with the fag rock bands, like GC, and simple plan, and that crap? (link)
probably because they have nothing else to do. People lacking something to do seem to turn to people in the media for direction. It's weird like that. Why else do you see people trying to be Britney Spears at age 11? I kind of think that they're just bored. Or they see something "rebelious" in those bands that makes them feel somewhat liberated. I did, but then again I used them as a stepping stone. Most people don't do that. See, if you read the thank you's in there from those bands to other bands and you check out those other bands, you open up to a whole different world of MUCH BETTER MUSIC. You'll end up putting your GC album on the shelf and you'll quit trying to be "punk" and start being you. So it's nice to find really good music, but there aren't "fag" bands, just bands who might not be as good as others. At least they try...


Ok, I love Linkin Park and Coldplay and I'm looking for music like that. Anyone got any suggestions? Thanks a bunch (link)
Try Badly Drawn Boy, Ben Folds (he's GREAT live), Rufus Wainwright is the bomb, Silverchair, Smashing Pumpkins, Rancid, The White Stripes, Three Days Grace, umm if you want something more hardcore than some of those, go for Mudvayne, Norma Jean for screamo also known as Luti-Kriss (not the rapper trust me), Metallica is ALWAYS good, the Misfits, Greenday, Fugazi is always a good choice, Fruit Bats, Cursive, Brand New, The Beatsteaks and Division of Laura Lee are good too, Air, AFI, and Murderdolls. Finch is good, as is Slipknot...if you're into them.
