Gay Musicians

Yeah, I agree, I never understood it either. In fact, and I'm totally being serious here, I also find that the actual act of seeking a gay dude out and beating him is kind weird in a semi-homoerotic kind of way. These dudes are essentially willing to roll around on the ground and scrap with him because he likes to roll around and have sex with guys? No compute.

Its because thats as close as a 'macho-alpha-hetero-male' can get to a gay guy without appearing gay. Essentially, since the 'macho-alpha-hetero-male' struck out and cant be rolling around in bed with a chick, he'd just as soon roll around on the floor with a guy. I presume these are also the same guys one could find on the CL personals soliciting gay guys with 'I'm straight and have never done anything with a guy, but Im curious' and meeting up with other 'macho-alpha-hetero-males' at bath houses & gloryholes.
 
I hate gay-bashing macho-alpha-hetero-males! So my friends and I seek them out and when we find 'em, we ignore the living HELL out of them!

It's so gratifying!

Hey! Apparently I come across as a macho-alpha-hetero-male. One of my friends was afraid to come out to me because I'm so "****ing-A". (I still don't know what that means, but I don't think it's gayspeak.) He calls me a "bear" these days!

i fully agree! just like the dopes who mosh at concerts...they're using the mosh pit as an excuse to rub up against other guys with their shirts off.
 
I never understood gay bashing. I mean if you are a testosterone over driven male that is looking to score a female, why would you direct the time for negative energy towards the only group of guys in the room who are absolutely NO COMPETITION.

A tip, if you are a single guy, make friends with gay males, trust me they always know lots of women, and those women will dig you for being open minded. HEHEHEHE.

But seriously, if you are a drunk guy, and you couldn't score that night so you harrass someone for no reason, well that reminds me of the kid who teases the girl in grade school that he likes to get her attention. In other words you are displaying major signs of latent homosexuality by "gay bashing"

Now to bring this back to the music related question of this thread:

<sarcasm> I hate the way gay people play scales, I just can't stand the gay modes they use. </sarcasm>

Any questions?

Nothing more fun than bouncing off the tall fat guy in the middle of the pit to launch my now wrecking ball like body into a small helpless pathetic group of emo squirts.

:p
feels good, doesn't it? and hey, if you happen to rub a certain part of theirs against your face or vice versa, it's all good. some of those emo boys almost look like girls...close enough!

:D

Well, it's usually the side of my arm or chest that hits them right across the face and knocks em flat, but you never know when your being tossed about full thrash. So I cant say much about what will hit them. :ninja:

It's really hard to tell which sex you happen to be launching yourself into into sometimes as well. Little ***** all look the same, squeal the same, and quite frankly shove you back the same. The girls usually don't get quite as violent back, but there are certain cases.

Why? Cause its fun as hell, were all having a good time, and just standing around listening to a band tear the ground apart from beneath them is kinda well, insulting. So I'll mosh, beat the snot out of those who are smaller than me, and risk landing on some dudes junk. I'm having fun! :D
 
of course you are, joe! of course you are! this guy does a variation of what you do, only he calls it "sweatin' to the oldies":

Not quite Jimmy. He does it to the oldies with the intention of keeping fit. I do it to metal with the intention of having a good time and letting out excess energy. I really have no problem with it either. I know who I am, where I stand, which way I lean, and I'm comfortable with it. I'm straight, and I don't consider moshing and thrashing to be a homosexual activity (even though I know of plenty of gays that do go to metal shows, including one of my good friends), I consider it to be collective of like minded music loving peers enjoying themselves. Nothing wrong with that is there?
 
Music is like the great equalizer. My band mates and I have vastly different political/social views. However, it all seems to be a non-issue due to our ties in the band. They still frown upon me being armed at practice, but we are alone in warehouse space. While the facility is gated, it doesn't hurt to be prepared.

I agree. The members in my current band are about as different as we could be politically, spiritually, and sexually (yes, one of us is gay). Never have we had an ounce of tension about any of these things; in fact, we don't even really think about it. We're too busy playing music.
 
depends on how many broken bones or missing teeth you come out of there with. personally, the last thing i want when i'm watching music is to have some sweaty kid slamming into me, and i sure wouldn't want to have to pay the doctor's bills that could come out of a mosh pit. but if you and your friends want t...no, i'm sorry...i must be honest...i think it's asinine no matter how you slice it.

To each his own I guess.
Now I just here to watch Joe try to tell us how he's not like Richard Simmons.

I'm way to lazy to be a fitness guru. :D
