Rated "R" for Retarded "Throwdown"

Big Hungry · #1 03-27-2008, 11:14 AM

I went to see Soilwork last night who was headlining for the "Hardcore" band Throwndown. Besides being a total Hatebreed ripoff, at the end of the show some straight edgers (who even knew they were still around) jumped up on stage and got their asses kicked by security. I guess the bass player wasn't to happy about that and he smashed and EB Music Man HH on stage. Smashing a bass at Woodstock in the name of metal in front of 150,000 fans is one thing but in a 500 person venue just because you got some straight edger sweat on your arm is pretty not hardcore IMO.

I didn't even know that Throwdown was still around.... I saw them in '99 or so w/ Agnostic Front (..... I think they opened up for AF but I don't remember...). They were alright from what I remember....

I used to play in a band with a couple of sXe kids back in the day.... They made me want to break things too

..... They were the most frustrating duo I ever had to work with.

lol @ the idea of Throwdown being a "Hatebreed ripoff."

You know, that's a really good question.... I've hung out with quite a few in my younger days and it was different from each one that I talk to.

All of them that I have met didn't drink, smoke or do recreational drugs. But, I've also met some that go so far as to not have sex, drink caffiene, or even use foul language.....

I don't know, at that time in my life, stuff like that was unheard of to me

.......

To each his own.... The two guys that I used to jam with weren't bad guys at all, just seemed like they were on a high horse all the time. Needless to say they aren't "sXe" anymore. I actually started talking to one of 'em and we were talking about jammin again..... He drinks occasionally now and is doing good. The other one is now a hobo / gypsy in Minnesota now, I think. Last time I saw him he was so ripped he almost didn't recognize me.

Pretty funny....

I'm sure it's not always by choice.

They have a song with such thought provoking lyrics as:

"and that's all there is
to say. but i've got one thing left to say."

huh?

HA.....

Yeah, one of the cats I mentioned above had a smokin' hot GF that he never had sex with

..... He said he had too much respect for her to think of her in that way

...... ***?.... I told him, and I quote "That's the biggest crock of **** I've ever heard in my LIFE!!!!".

She had enough respect for him to leave him and go lesbo

...

Pwned.

I'm pretty sure I hate Throwdown more than any band. They are the definition of ****.

MOD EDIT: ALL PROFANITY MUST BE FULLY MASKED.

Everyone is free to thier own opinions, however, you might want to look at a genre called "metalcore", it is the definition of ****

"Straightedge" living is about the wimpiest thing ever. lol@no sex.

MakiSupaStar · #18 03-28-2008, 04:00 PM

I never understood straightedge. I mean, if I'm an a hole, at least I can fall back on the beer, or whatever, but these guys are just a holes with nothing but their own personalities to blame. Sheer genius.

That's what I like to call "stream of conscious" writing...

"stream of diarrhoea" might be more appropriate!
