Yes or No...? 2

When have I ever not? :smirk: Thank you, though. And I forgot a couple of things, such as financial stability and access to proper nutrition and exercise.

I already did one of these some time ago, but now that Valliant has been added to the mix, I decided to do an updated version. Included a few that weren’t in the first one as well as part of their own categories, though I doubt they’ll get votes.

If he wants to, and he frequently does: Grey.
Headcannon: Victoria chose to become one in her adulthood, and is pretty good.
On your list: Faba.

Considering I’ve watched the guy reach down to the floor and snap the neck of a guy some fair way away, I think the assassin dreamed up by 47 as a rival worthy of envy takes it.

Music question, but posting here as opposed to the music video thread.

Do you all have any albums that you absolutely love, from artists that you otherwise don’t care for? I’m talking albums that are straight up desert island albums for you, top hundred or so, from artists or bands that you otherwise find nigh repulsive.

For me it’s Blood Sugar Sex Magik by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Can’t stand this band, love this album. It came out for me at the right time and place, you know?

  • This question makes no sense. I only like music from artists I like. That’s what makes sense.
  • I’m sure there’s some music from people I don’t loooooove, but I can’t think of great examples right now.
  • I definitely love some albums from artists I otherwise can’t stand. Here are some examples!
  • Music? What’s music? Music is for commercials and elevators. Fuck music. I don’t listen to it.

Hm, I won’t say that I can’t stand Linkin Park, in fact I love them. However I only like the two first Albums, Hybrid Theory and Meteora, the rest to far removed from their Nu Metal era.

That Said, today I actually love three of their albums. The newest Album From Zero is awesome. Other than that It’s s band I love but only like 35% of their music.

I’m struggling to think of an entire album I love from an artist I loathe. Certainly songs exist that I like from artists where that’s their only song I believe is any bit good.

I don’t mean one hit wonders either. I mean artists who I just don’t like much but are consistent and I happen to like one song.

I don’t go off of albums so much as individual songs, but the concept still applies. The four I can name off the top of my head are Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, Kanye West and Megadeth. A mere handful of songs by each I really enjoy, the rest of their repertoire and the artists themselves, can’t stand.

Well you were making sense until Megadeth. Those first five albums are great, with a couple of legit classics in the mix even. Rust In Peace is one of the best albums ever :metal:

Even a couple later albums are decent… The System Has Failed, Dystopia…

With regards to Kanye: I fucking hate the guy, but My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is a masterpiece, ugh.

Megadeth has precisely five (5) good songs, in descending order: 1) Trust, 2) Angry Again, 3) Go To Hell, 4) Symphony of Destruction, 5) A Tout Le Monde. The rest is shit.

As for Kanye, I like Gold Digger and Jesus Walks, that’s it.

How does one respond to such a foolish comment? Do I ignore you? Haha brush it off? Compose a treatise extolling Dave Mustaine’s compositional genius and long-lasting, deserved influence on the metal world, while acknowledging his personal and political shortcomings?

Ah, screw it. I’ll just post Tornado of Souls over on the music thread.

The best way to respond is to accept the inherent accuracy of the statement, and simply acknowledge it as being correct. As 47 himself said: “It’s the path of least resistance.”

I have no real emotional connection to the artists I hear. Often enough I only know a few songs of each. :smile:

I can only think of artists that I use to like but now I’m not as interested in as before, like Snoop Dogg. I don’t like most of his albums but I still enjoy the Doggystyle album from time to time. Or Amerikkka’s Most Wanted by Ice Cube. Also Jay-z.

A classic quote: Revenge is a dish best served cold. I like this but it has also been said that “success is the best revenge” and like this too. Then I heard that forgiveness can be softer revenge because you don’t lose yourself and possibly make the other person(s) remorseful. But hey, I also enjoy revenge hot fresh off the press then, there and now. So what’s your preference?

  • Cold :cold_face:
  • Hot :fire:
  • Success :trophy:
  • Forgiveness :pray:

If I could select two, I’d pick both hot and forgiveness, because I don’t hold into grudges long. And once I’ve cooled down, Dennis the other person wronged me, if I knew they weren’t going to do so again, we’re actually regretful for what they did, and we can have a decent relationship moving forward, I’d forgive. But, when I’m in the state of anger and hatred for what someone has done, I want revenge dished out then and there, before I have time to cool down, and before they have time to move on and forget what they did and why I’m seeking vengeance against them. That’s something I’ve never understood about cold revenge: not only has enough time gone by that it shouldn’t matter anymore to you, enough time has gone by that it doesn’t matter anymore to them. By that point, they just see you as victimizing them, and they don’t understand anymore what they did that was so wrong.

Revenge serves no purpose other than to make the person taking revenge feel better.

Yeah, but not always true. It could to the benefit or detriment of others.
