Time To Let You Go is the best Enuff Z Nuff song

100% passionately disagree with everything you said

Bed of Roses and Mr Rainmaker are average songs and would have done nothing if released as singles first.

I Saw Red and Blind Faith are killer songs and did exactly what they should have done.

Never going to rival the original, but not too bad.
Possibly appeal to a larger section of the public, and certainly appropriate for what's going on at the moment around the world.

Lol, jeez some folk come up with interesting reasons to not like good music. Thankfully for me, either a song is good or it's not and the process in pretty simple. 

Not really. Never been a fan of heavy synth, especially syrupy synth.
But then VH brought a bit in with Sammy and I was a fan.
Depends how it's done.

When I started listening to this album I thought I'd made a mistukake.
But as I said before, I don't recall it flowing through all the songs and on a second listen some have little or no annoying synth.
Good songs are good songs, even ones with synth.
Just takes me a whiole to get into them.
Guffria is a good example.

Does it really matter?
It's just live stuff.
Brings in the dollars, and he can buy food, or a car, or whatever.
He obviously can do the songs some kind of justice.
Looks like bad taste, but EVH died over a year ago.
Not sure how long he was planning to do this regardless.
I'd probably see the show it it was on, but it would just be another cover band.
Not sure why everyone is getting all worked up...

YEah the 'phat ass' 

Apparently highly desirable these days, thanks to Kardashians etc

I'm not a fan. A nice tight ass for me.

What happened to herd immunity at 70 to 80%
We're at over 90% double jabbed now and this shit is still moving around at 1000 cases per day in my state.
Was herd immunity just a pipe dream?

One second in the synth hits.
It's the worst kinds as well, the unnecessary kind.
I get bands that are all synthy, and that's their thing, but I think they were trying to add to teh songs with something extra and it didn't work.
That said, I wasn't noticing them on all sons, so maybe it was just a few that they hit up.
Also need to rehear.

So I gave Marcello-Vestry a spin

My first thought was that the first song, and a few others, have a Vito Bratta vibe to the guitar,
Or even Robert Rodrigo vibe from Airless.

Shame the songs are a bit too synthy for me.
But only a bit, so I'll give it a few more tries.
Were a couple of songs that grabbed me.

Aw, so sorry to offend you with three magic words that seem to be a big trigger for you. I hope you never to listen to Public Enemy as you will break down and cry. No doubt your cop buddies won't be charging into crowds with batons protesting against fascist laws. If they do, "following orders, then they are responsible for their actions.

Ps. And if I need help in parenting from you, I will let you know.

Not triggered, surprised.
Heaps of people hate the cops.
They are all equally idiotic.

Pretty unlikely to get many fires this year with La Nina

Where did I say I was teaching my kids to hate the police? I said I used to teach them to respect the police. Different things. So before you jump to conclusions about intelligence, look at your own ability to read and interpret information.

Here's my ability to read and interpret information.

You say that you no longer teach your kids to respect police.
You seem open in your statement "Fuck the pigs"
You may say that in front of them. If you don't I'm sure they will pick up on it.
Kids learn from their parents.

I'm happy with my interpretation.
It's sad that people can generalise so vigorously.
I would put forward that a MASSIVE percentage of cops are good, if not great cops.
we're looking at only a very few cops here who overstep and gain a lot of press.

I know 3 people who have applied for the force.
One got in, one didn't, one is in the process now.
Their requirements are extremely high, and not adhering to just one part of the process 100% equals a fail.
In the case of the person who didn't get in, she got through all the psych, fitness, etc, but didn't come across as confident enough in a phone interview, so that was it.

Cops are legends.

Me too. I used to teach my kids to respect police. But, they have changed, or shown their true colours. They truly are the jackboots of the government, gleefully issuing fines to ordinary citizens and assaulting whomever disagrees with government policy. Fuck the pigs. I now speak of them as untrustworthy and best avoided as much as possible.

OK, teach your kids to hate the police and you're setting them up for a pretty shitty life potentially.

"Fuck the pigs" 
I so hate the ACAB shit.

When you come out with generalised comments like that I think les of your mental capacity and like you a lot less.

John Cooper of Skillet fame wanted to experiment with a heavier style than his main band allowed for, so the Fight the Fury side project was born. As you can tell from the video, it basically sounds like Skillet crossed with Slipknot. Not for everyone but I kind of dig it.

How overproduced is his voice?

Pushing the kids was pretty harsh, but there is no context.
Judging by the way she was speaking, accusing the police of groping her friend, you'd think that she was likely inciting them.
Doesn't justify the shove of a kid, but in a karmic world, possibly got what she deserved.

I hate these clips, and the Avi is a fucking dick.
He dissipates what he does by leaning so far to the right that he's as bad as the lefties.
The cops wouldn't be detaining a young girl unless they had a reason.
People honestly think that all 10 cops there was all in on being unfair and persecuting the girl?
nope.

I hope nobody is offended by this, but here are my thoughts on religions people.

As a general rule, I think of them as those who cannot cope with the thought that life ands and that's it.
To be able to successfully make it through life, they need a back up.
Something else out there to give them solace that life has more meaning than it does.

So they look for an all seeing all knowing creator who will perpetuate their 'life' after their bodies die.

All atheists and agnostics go through the journey of coming to terms with their mortality.
Religious people seek to avoid this journey and find a blanket belief to do so.

The irony is that religious people see themselves as being content and fulfilled with their faith.
Non religions people actually are equally as content and fulfilled once they come to terms with what their life actually is all about, and proceed to enjoy it in a fairly pure way.

That's really not proven. Opinions split. On the balance of it there is a fair chance he existed but it cannot be proven definitively he did.  His life isn't well documented outside of the bible. 

It's long but this is a good video on the topic. 
 

 

To be honest, it doesn't really concern me if he did or didn't.
I put it out there are a kind of olive branch (ie: not everything is completely imaginary and made up)
Not many lives were well documented 2000 years ago.
Likelihood is that he existed, and had some small amount of notoriety.
Was killed and became a Randy Rhodes or Jeff Buckley. A lot more famous after death than when alive.
The bibles changed over the years, his exploits became more impressive and eventually  became a demi god.
Ironically I love easter and Jesus stories. They make great stories

Russell Brand goes on a bit too much about spirituality most of the time for me, and he is very slow to get to the point, compared to someone like, say the awesome Jordan Peterson.

I remember when I first saw the Sarah Silverman was dong video blogs, because I thought she was pretty great and funny.
And then I saw some, and now I hate her.
I hate pretty much everything she says, and I even find it hard watching her movies lol

haha, just what this place has been missing. A religious thread.

I don't believe in any higher power, just like I don't believe in ghosts or aliens.
Show me one and I will believe, until then....

As far as mainstream religions go, they are all equally silly to me.
Defining a 'god' or 'gods' and creating images on them, and worshipping them?
Really?
Just because you don't know?

Christianity is ridiculed in Australia, because like it or not we are a Christian society.
Want proof? attend parliament, and they say the lord's prayer before every sitting.
Having travelled extensively around the world, I will say that Catholicism is the worst of them all. Money hungry, money grabbing religion that it.
Asian religions and much more realistic.

Anyway here's the thing.

I DON'T KNOW
I don't know how we got here. I know how we evolved. But I don't know where our consciousness came from, and I don't know where it goes, if anywhere. And I don't care, because I can't change it anyway.
For me life is more about being a good person, doing right by others and living a happy life.
I've said for years, the secret to life is in two parts. Stay healthy and he happy. That's it.

Worship whomever you like. Doesn't affect me. You guys create some great temples and churches and I enjoy visiting them.

Interestingly, even 10 or 15 years ago, not many dared to come out and admit they had no faith.
These days, this is common, but rare for people to come out and say they are Christian, or whatever.

Jesus was real. His life is fairly well documented. Was he the son of a god? lol
If anything he was a magician of sorts. Probably a decent bloke though.

Scariest thing I've seen recently was the NY mayor talking about covid and how god has chosen it and people should get immunised to serve god or whatever.
Damn, I would HATE to live in a bible belt of the US.
Hell, people in my country don't ever really get a flag out except for one day a year that everyone hates because it's now all about invasion etc.

I've been through the US and was amazed at the amount of flags on front lawns, letterboxes, and everywhen.
You guys care about your country far more than us

I think generally that this new "threat" is being taken with a grain of salt. I'd like to think so anyway.

Regardless, by the time we all say ENOUGH, the new powers put in place by ALL Governments and new "digital ID's" and tracking apps will be well established. 

Well played, the powers that be, well played. 

Yeah, I mean that's a fair call.
This is what people originally were concerned about and it's gradually happened and not many people have really noticed or cared.
Tracking everyone everywhere they go. (if you scan in  )

If somebody could stop covid for me, that would be great.

Red Notice.
Was pretty good. Ryan Reynolds usual slapstick, but if you turn your brain off, a decent flick.

Carnival Days was epic

Sounds very inconclusive. Should probably have more tests done. @CureTheSanedo you volunteer your face?

Nothing I'd like more than for a group of guys from here to piss all over my face 

Seriously I don't get the fascination.
I mean I've peed on a mates leg under the toilet stall wall and the did the same back to me, but that was a couple of completely wasted guys not really having much of an idea of what they were doing, much less caring.
Never got the waterworks porn, or even worse scat shit (pun intended)
