    Seeing a guy looking at DT CDs in HMV in Leeds. Lynching him. Finding out
    he is my musical kindred spirit. Many cool Jam sessions followed. :)

    Hi Jammers,

    Question for musicians again... Anybody out there knows freeware that would
    play a click track for me when I am practising on my drums ? I have a laptop
    and I wonder if anybody has some computerprogram that can plays different
    beats and measures... Would be nice. Or should I look for a commercially
    available product ?

    Thanks for any answer !!!

    <<Hey, what's wrong with these bands? I was forced to listen to the new
    Korn album for my school newspaper to critique it, and I actually *gasp*
    ENJOYED it. It's not bad music - you're just dissing them because they're
    popular. Same thing with ICP: Their music may seem vulgar and
    unmeaningful to one who doesn't listen to it, but if you were REALLY
    listen to the words and the meanings behind the songs, you'd see that they
    put a lot of effort into their music and that they discuss a lot of issues
    like domestic violence, racism, and bigotry in their albums. Try learning
    about what you bash before you bash it.>>

    Consider me an open-minded person for a moment. I loved Korn's first album,
    but they have steadily declined since, until Issues. Honestly, their new
    album isn't all that fantastic... they've basically been playing the exact
    same song over and over again, just a little differently with different
    lyrics. Korn is in desparate need of variety.

    As for ICP... nah, they're just horrible. My friends love them, but once
    again, everything they have produced is the EXACT SAME. They (for the most
    part) write songs only to sell albums. And as for your domestic
    violence/racism etc claims... I'd love to know where you find this. The
    majority of the lyrics I've heard are about having sex with dead people,
    screwing your mom and grandma, and killing your ex-girlfriend cuz she
    screwed around. Granted, it's all in the spirit of amusment and fun, but
    they're ADVOCATING violence to sell albums. Wheee! Never mind that they're
    completely talentless. And I say that after many hours of forced ICP
    listening.

    Korn on the other hand... Issues is the first step to recovery from that
    awful Follow The Leader album.

    I want to be a music critic if I ever grow up.

    I saw Blue Man group in boston a few months ago, and the three "Blue Men"
    played drums, and they had one drummer in the loft (plus a stick player and
    someone else who I forgot what he did =^). I'm not sure the "six drummers
    and a few precussionists" thing on Leno was them, though. They're more
    performance art/comedy/music than just music. Insane stuff though, very
    highly reccomended.

    O-P, you might be thinking about the "Blue Man Group," an "avant-guard
    performance rt/music" troupe from NYC. They've had an off-Broadway show for
    quite a few years now (I first saw them in high school). The full show is
    ery hard to explain, except that it involves audience participation,
    abouttwo stomach-fulls of marshmallows, spitting paintballs, and tons of
    toiletpaper during the finale! :) Needless to say, if you're in the NYC
    area, skipall the "Lion King" crap, and head into the village to see this
    show....andyes, they do have a CD available.

    You know, if I had the time to look up all of the references, I would. But
    I don't, so I'm going to leave this to Josh, who I'm SURE will be posting
    to rebut these allegations you've made. Trust me, he can find lyrics and
    song names to prove out points. In the meantime, check out Josh's ICP
    page at http://members.tripod.com/~DarkHarmony/ICP.html (check out
    ICP5.html as well, as this is where he rebuts the things that you were
    stating). Trust me, even if you don't come out with a different opinion,
    it's well worth the read.

    I'm not big on ICP at all (but I've only heard 3 songs by them so I guess I
    can't really judge), but I love KoRn. They are one of the most original bands
    to come out in the last 10 years IMO. They use chords that don't normally
    make sense and make sense out of them. That's brilliant I think. But if
    someone doesn't like them, that's cool too. I can see how people could find
    them annoying. I'm just giving my personal opinion here. I think they're a
    hard band for many people to understand. Oh well, at any rate everyone have a
    great new year.

    Granted, a lot of the songs are like this, but I DO consider these
    particular things more-or-less original, don't you?
    To know how the claims I made are justified, visit my website, as Andrew
    said.

    > > of amusment and fun, but they're ADVOCATING violence to sell albums.

    No, no, NO! They're advocating violence because they want to hurt
    somebody. You know how you get angry at someone and wat to hurt them?
    This is the same thing, but on a larger scale. Why is ranting about one's
    problems OK if you're George Carlin or Denis Leary OK, but not ICP? Jeez!

    > > Wheee! Never mind that they're completely talentless. And I say that

    They admit they have no talent. Find someone with the "Shockumentary"
    video, and sit through it sometime. They admit that they have no musical
    telent, but give people what they want. While the rest of us are sitting
    back saying how stupid and childish they are, they went from rags to
    riches. That has to count for something.

    I really don't need to say any more. I'll be quiet, for the time being

    Subject: Korn thread anyone?
    Message-ID: <19991227.164739.14454.3.Kurt.Hampton@juno.com>

    It seems a Korn sucks/rules thread is beginning to form, so let me add my
    thoughts.

    I was so prejudiced against the band because everyone was wearing a Korn
    shirt at my high school. The only song I had ever heard was Addidas, and
    I wasn't impressed with the lyrical content. I thought they were this
    big trendy band that everyone was into.

    I heard freak on a leash one day on the radio, and liked it not realizing
    it was Korn, I later found out and began to question myself. Then a
    friend bought the CD and was freaking out because we had hated them
    because they were popular, not realizing how good of a metal band they
    were, and how original they are. I have since then bought all of the
    CDs. I am going to see them in February in New Orleans, and will rock.
    Just because people like something, a lot of people, doesn't mean its
    bad. We tend to have a complex sometimes to go too against the grain, and
    pop culture in general. I found something I can enjoy that a lot of
    other people do.

    My tip-Listen to their first CD and ask yourself what band in 1994
    sounded like this. My answer: Nobody. they originated a new sound,
    something which very few bands do today.

    Limp Bizkit, I gave them a listen, THAT IS PURE SHIT.

    Have a nice day,
    Kurt
