I used to like really like Stabbing Westward

[BigDaddyCool]

But now when I listen to them, it sound really whiney and "I wasn't my fault, give me another chance. If you don't come back I'm going to really hurt myself," kind of music. I don't know, like the kind of music for manuplative whiners. I kind of get the same vibe from Linkin Park.

Now on the other hand, I really like Hank the 3rd. He to has song about loss, but his are more of, "I know I've done fucked up. I wish I knew better at the time."

Any dicuss

i still really like stabbing westward (especially whither, blister, burn, and peel) but i definitely have to be in the right mood for them. and i don't find myself in that mood very often anymore. i can listen to "on your way down" almost anytime, though.

[BigDaddyCool]

Yeah, I'm not saying I hate them. But I find myself skipping them on the i-pod more. I guess my veiws of relationships have matured and I see them now for more of what they are. It isn't love and heart break they are singing about, but obsession.

industrial is another one of those genres i thought was the tits back when i was 17-18, and then i grew up and realized it's generally quite awful.

i think that stabbing westward are the only industrial band that i listen to and they don't even seem to be that industrial compared to a lot of others.

No, I blossomed late, plus they were came out when I was in middle school and didn't really know better.

I don't know if I'm real without you
What is left of me without you?
I don't know whats real without you
How can I exist without you?

come on that was one of their first singles

[BigDaddyCool]

Oh I'm fully aware of their lyrics. Again at the time I didn't know the difference and was naive.

[BigDaddyCool]

Also, I'm dumb as hell, which part of that do people have a hard time picking up?

[Blitz]

Stabbing Westward is amazing.

Stabbing Westward is amazing.

This might have something to do with why you were drinking bottles of wine in chicago. Look man, I've had heart break too, but come on.

People listen to the lyrics?

Seriously, I love Stabbing Westward, but I would never call them lyrically good, interesting, or insightful.

Instrumentally, they have some great shit. So I tend to play them when I don't want something to sing along to, or pay attention to the lyrics so much as have a nice musical soundscape.

Seriously, though, they've got like three songs with melodies identical to Linkin Park. If you're writing songs fit for Chester Twatington, nobody by Kalyx should be saying anything positive about that.

[BigDaddyCool]

Yeah...Linkin Park and Stabbing Westward are similar on many levels.

[Kane Knight]

Except one can produce music, and the other has just thrown more protools on the same singles for four albums.

[BigDaddyCool]

I never said I like Linkin Park or liked them.

I cannot save you. I can't even save myself.
