I'm off work today and went out to buy me some new shoes. mine are total crap, broken down pieces......you get the idea. I wanted a pair of tennis shoes and a pair of work shoes. looking at prices of shoes I know why mine are broken down. serious, the prices for shoes is awful. needles to say I got one pair of shoes today and will wait for the other pair next payday. Maybe I'm just a cheap SOB.

I hear ya. I've been wearing the same pair of work boots day in and day out for over a year and a half now. They're really starting to look it too.

 

We just got our tax refund so I need to junk these things and get a new pair of sneakers!!

See, I'm just the opposite. mine look good on the outside but the inside is broken down. I can't even buy those really good insoles to put into them anymore because the heel of the shoe is just broken down. I Practially feel everything the sole of the shoe steps on and when I buy those nice insoles they just last a month before they are torn up because of the inside of the shoe's being broken. I blame it on the concrete floors I'm on every day. And the inside back of the shoes, the materal is torn away and I'm wearing holes in socks left and right.

Yup, I got that going on too. The insides of the boots are a maroon/red color so every time I take the shoes off I got this red sh*t all over my socks. Freaked me out the first time I saw it cuz I thought it was blood! :yikes:

I refuse to pay more than $40 for sneakers. They must be heavily on sale. Shoes don't cost anymore to make than they did 20 years ago. I play tennis 3 times a week and burn through shoes really fast. I bought out my shoe and all I could fine because they discontinued it. $40 plus buy one get one half off plus 20%, I bought 7 pairs. Doen to 1 pair left, not sure what will happen after that. I burn through the bottoms, they still look good from the top.

 

They don't make them like they use to.

Everytime I check in here and see the What CD did you Buy This Week thread, I just don't want to believe that anyone in here is cheap. Or you people are just like me five years ago, refusing to buy anything that can be worn just to have money for CDs?

Remember the first Air Jordans? Wanted a pair back in junior high but my parents could'nt afford them. I believe they were $60 back then. Now thats alot of money. For most of my time growing up I had Traxx from Kmart. Anyone remember those?

Rivers is the best shop for clothes in Australia. I had not bought shoes in about 30 years but last year I bought 4 pairs on one day from this place - all $25 each. And now I never need to buy shoes again in this life. :)

I haven't had a new pair of shoes in a while. I probably need to shop for some, but I hate to spend the money. My most comfortable shoes are an old pair of Vans. I wear those to work. On my days off I wear a cheap pair of Hawks. Doing that seems to increase the life of my shoes.

Yeah, I remember those!! I used to work for Kmart. Talk about cheap sh*t shoes, Lordy. I used to buy their cheap sh*t work boots for $25 and within 90 days the soles would be worn completely flat :rofl2:

Yeah, I used to buy the cheap Walmart work boots, until I bought a pair of Timberlands for $125 dollars. Expensive, but i'm still wearing them.. :tumbsup:

Yeah, I had a pair of Timberlands that lasted me almost three years. Right now the pair I'm wearing is "Stanley" (as in the tool company) and I've had these for about two years, they're starting to look it too.

 

It might be nice to have a pair of nice lightweight sneakers on my feet again rather than these clodhoppers!!

    • Originally recorded for, but not included on "Reckless"... ...the song has since been included on the 30th anniversary reissue of the album.
    • "Monster"     "Killer Katharina"   "Party Rock Anthem"   "Hard Times"    
    • I'd put them in the same bracket as Ghost. Complete rip off, although the album is good. 
    • Tokyo Blade to release a new album in January 2025. It’s titled Time is the Fire with the release date slotted for 17th January via Dissonance Productions. Tokyo Blade go all the way back to 1982 and were in the thick of the then emerging New Wave of British Heavy Metal with their self-titled debut album appearing in 1983 quickly followed in 1984 by the classic Night of the Blade. That album gained much momentum for the band however after that it seemed as though the law of diminishing returns applied with the success of Night of the Blade not being capitalised on. Despite many line-up changes over the years allied with periods of inactivity and reformations, the band has continued and over recent years released four albums since 2018, the last of which was Fury in 2022. And now we have Time is the Fire to look forward to in January 2025 which will comprise of fourteen new songs. Time is the Fire is available for pre-order from Cherry Red with all sorts of different formats available including CD and coloured double vinyl. If you fancy pre-ordering: https://www.cherryred.co.uk First single "Don't Bleed Over Me" out now...  
    • Still going too... https://hunterband.de/          
    • Haha, thanks mate. I'm pretty fond of that one too.  I think I've said it a few times in this thread, but I don't think AI is a threat to "real" music whatsoever. Sorry, I know I'm repeating myself, but I could see a world where it has a significant impact on dance music and music that is already, for lack of a better term, created artificially anyway.  And I am amazed by, and love what it can do with rock/metal music, but it's still got nothing on what a group of four or five like-minded individuals can come up with, or most notably, a song-writer with a great voice. Or even a good voice.  I have some deeper cuts in my newer material and I am happy enough with the results but it still sounds like AI emotive, absolutely no comparison at all to a real dude pouring his heart out with his own delivery and melodic structure, straight from a songwriter's brain. And as cool as the music is, you listen to a heap of AI and then you put on just one or two top-end favourite bands and you're all like, oh, yeah, AI definitely can't do that. All the intricacies like guitar and drum fills, vocal hooks and melodies... if anything AI music has given me more appreciation for great artists. On the flip-side, it makes me view poorer artists in a dimmer light, lol, but it makes me really appreciate the real craftsmen and women a lot more.  lol, speaking of rants.  Ah, I've had this pickle a few times before. I like the chorus better in V1, but the verses better in V2. Usually in this case the chorus (V1) would win out for me.  And hey, thanks for posting these, lol. I was playing them and looked to the side of my screen and noticed I had 50 credits!! Bonus. I wouldn't have checked otherwise. So I guess even if you run out, you still get the standard daily 50 credits that even free users get. Gotta admit, that's a bit of a relief as 14 more days of nothing was going to be tough. And at last 50 keeps me well limited too. I might not even get one keeper song with 50 credits the way I've been going recently.    
    • Darkstone - Heart Of Steel (2024)   Well, here's two versions of song number 9.   https://suno.com/song/4e549a3d-d7e6-4e8c-a022-ae96830014b3   https://suno.com/song/331b2d37-cb0f-4006-8d93-c8bb69e4df8a
    • Ooh, thanks for the reminder. I should give the full thing a listen.
