I hate to be the one that says it, but arguing on the net is lame. Like, it's just a show and people being stupid. It's wicked fucking dumb to make fun of bands that you're playing with (or in general, I mean it's like we're all just making music) but it's even lamer to get in a fist fight about it. I've come to accept sometimes people like you're band and sometimes it's not even close to their cup of tea. So it happens and maybe you ask the person to not be a dick about it, but I don't think fighting is going to solve anything. In fact, if someone hit me over not liking their band, I'd probably like them less...

I also think it's lame to come from out of state and make fun of local bands. That's just foolish altogether -- you're already at a disadvantage in that you're not even from the area, so you're going to be the outsider off the bat, which makes whatever you're trying to prove an uphill battle. The guys in DDD are actually really nice dudes and maybe their friends aren't, but Steve (the guy people keep making fun of, the guitarist) is actually pretty cool once you talk to him for a while.

And yeah, I agree with anyone that says "Talking shit is fucking uncalled for" cause it is, but I imagine that whappin' them doesn't make it any better, though it does make for some rad pics in the "Random Shots" section of this page (hair on the floor is crazy looking!)

That's my two cents, I'd rather not be involved, and I hope that sounds as unbiased as I meant it. It's not cool to talk shit, especially when you're an outsider, but it's also not that cool to beat up shittalkers or to make fun of a whole band based on one or two people.
