haha i love commin correct but if you've seen 25 Ta Life recently you'd know that even Rick Ta Life doesn't care about unity anymore hahaha. he's all depressed and angry now and he's all about violence.

i goto a show, see a bunch of kids i know, and i have a great time hanging out with them, and dancing on the same dance floor as them. if that's unity then great, im all about it. but the fact that someone is at the same show as me, possibly likes the same bands as me, or dresses like me certainly doesn't mean I have to or SHOULD percieve them as a good person just because of this. Assumptions based on appearances and assumed identities are a stupid idea in any context. In my own personal experience i've seen alot of this kids backstab, shittalk and generally sell eachother out just to further themselves. I don't need any of that. For those who are my friends, and have showed me they've got good values then i'll stick by them no matter what. if THATS what unity is supposed to mean, then thats what im about.

As far as metal kids are concerned all i've seen is shittalk, excuses, and drama for no reason. When things are shitty they talk about how shitty it is, blame it on a scapegoat, make excuses as to why they can't do anything about it, and nothing changes. then they throw in a pile of shit talk, mixed with some mediocre at best music and call it a scene. fuck that. they can keep it.

A couple years ago in my old band we thought it'd be a great idea to setup an all brutal metal show in Boston, as per the request of the "boston metal scene" who were always whining about there being no metal shows in Boston. So we go through all the trouble of booking the show. My guitarist Jamie went down to the middle east every week for months to beg and plead with the guy in charge to let us book a metal show upstairs. He called 2 or 3 times a week every week. Emailed him, and did a tireless campaign just to get metal into the middle east. So after ALL that effort what did we end up with:

Burial, our headliners, dick us around for weeks about playing the show, then after chasing them around they don't bother to show up. They don't call. They don't give any warning. All 3 of the cellphone numbers they provided us with were all wrong numbers or no one answered. They never bothered to contact us even after the fact to explain themselves. They epitomized the laziness, selfishness, and gayness of everything i've grown to hate about the "METAL SCENE".

Oh yeah, and as for all those people screaming for the "Boston Metal Scene" none of them showed up. The turnout proved to be decent as alot of kids came out to see Eternal Suffering and The Red Chord, but the majority of the crowd was what those of the metal dweeb scene would call "hardcore kids". If the metal kids don't want to support their own scene then fuck them. That's my point.
