Stoner/Doom Bassists Thread, Part 90: Maxed Out

[socialleper]

I didn't even know what an Affliction shirt was until I just googled it.

When did t shirts become this expensive? Holy hell, I'm old.

It was just those and a few others. About 10 years ago they became a hot fashion item, so of course they became super expensive. Some of the designs were lame, but others had some nice gothic (in the classic sense, not modern/emo sense) elements to them that weren't that far off from band shirts. I like I said, there were a few designs a really liked that had big Chaos stars in them, but @ $100 a pop, that was a no go.
They aren't really around anymore. It was a trend that came and went like bell bottom pants or tying a flannel around your waist (which I liked as well.)

I looked this up. To me they were all just "Ed Hardy" shirts, so... yah.

Need me to photocopy my AARP card for you? We can just whiteout my name and put yours in.

(I used to get AARP membership invitations all the time when I was in my 20s)

It's like yelling "get off my lawn" at the guy yelling "get off my lawn."

So meta...

For those of you that dabble in Toontracks EZ or Superior Drummer, what midi\expansions\kits do you find yourself using for doom\stoner\desert\sludge\bearded bong ripping music about witches\etc.

It may be a US 'bruh' thing. Like MMA and truck nuts.

I hope it is. Let’s keep that horror to America. No need to spread that to all the good peoples of Europe and the other continents.

This will probably reveal a lot about me, but using backslashes ("\") instead of forward slashes ("/") drives me crazy. It's like that meme of people setting the car stereo volume to an odd number. WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?! WHAT KIND OF ANIMAL ARE YOU?!

I'm a difficult person.

Shhh, I'm turning 35 friday and am having a hard enough time with it.

You have my condolences.
They say it gets easier every year.
I'm headed for 37 in little more than a month and can tell you those are damn lies.

 

[bassboysam]

oh to be 35 again

 

[gfen]

Meh. I finally felt old when I hit 41.

The last couple years, I don’t even pretend I’m hip with the kids anymore. I don’t even think I qualify as “cool old head” and have just gone into “crotchety old dick.”

 

[eyeballkid]

You damn toddlers

 

[Speedor]

I was really bummed when I hit 37. Like close to depression bummed. I'm going to be 39 in January. Doesn't bother me at all anymore.

why 37? was it because of monty python and the holy grail?

I’m using a mix of the post rock and alt rock ezx’s.
I also have half a dozer or so midi packs - most of the metal ones, doom, death metal, progressive rock - and I can usually find something I can use without a lot of effort because programming midi drums sucks.

 

[mlove]

And I turn 40 this month.
Blah...

Until 37 I though about myself as a 30ish dude. Then it dawned on me I'm closer to 40 that I thought.
Love the Monty Python reference. Haven't seen that one in ages.

Also, saw High On Fire yesterday. No surprise, they slayed.

I have the prog rock and jazz expansions. I was thinking about the Doom\Core midi. Is it good?
I was thinking about the post rock pack but didn't like the sound of the kits they used in the video.
