How can we confirm if title reminds you of an old band? We don't know how your mind operates.

[spyretto]

You could confirm by confirming that you've hard of a band called Rat Salad. We don't how your mind operates when you wonder how my mind operates...
But I think it's a song, not a band.

[Mossopp]

I've never heard of it.
Why not just Google it and see what you come up with?

It's a song by Black Sabbath.

[Mossopp]

What album was it on? I'm at work now so I don't have access to my Sabbath LP's.

[luxxi]

Paranoid

[Mossopp]

I should have known that! D'oh!

Yeah, you're right. It's an instrumental in Paranoid but there was also a band by that name - I think - probably released an EP or something and then disappeared.

Obviously it's not a game. It was meant to be a proper discussion thread but certain people turned it into a joke and an excuse to talk nonsense. It was moved here to avoid stinking-up the rest of the forum.

Yeh...ok I guess that make's sense

Is it just so people can be stupid and not get a silly post count from it

Very good question. It's not easy to pin down. I could give you a list, but I'm sure there would be someone out there who would critique it....very funny freddie.

heavy rock, hard rock, hardcore, nu metal, power metal, death metal, death pop, pop metal, rapcore, rap metal, grindcore, garage metal, funk metal, industrail metal, goth metal, black metal, progressive metal, alternative metal, brutal death metal, christian metal, circus metal, doom metal, thrash metal, metalcore, new wave of British heavy metal, grundge metal, epic metal, opera metal.

What's amazing is that with the exceptions of Circus Metal, Death Pop, and Rapcore, I can say that I've seen all of those used at least once. There's a whole lot of em. And you forgot symphonic metal, which is usually used to describe the heavier songs from the people I have in my sig. And other times I've seen Progressive- and Power-. You see how much variety there is in descriptions? A whole lot.

OMG. Metal, Salad, and Burgers!

[Mossopp]

Sorry, but didn't this thread end up being yet another excuse for people to take this piss out of me?
I fail to see how this can be a "tribute" to me.

[spyretto]

Hmm, you may be right. Lets put it back where it came from then, and I'll think of something else...

[Mossopp]

We could always start another metal discussion thread - one which doesn't decend into a slagging match.

[Lux]

what was the point of this thread?

[freddie]

I think it started of as a thread about Metal, then my comment about salads bombed it. Turns out... people are more interested in salads than heavy metal music. Or maybe they're just more interested in Samuel Beckett type rubbish talk.

[Lux]

literally, salads and metal? what is the point of that? LOL i mean, why the comparison.

Samuel Beckett? Does it mean going in circles without ever pointing at anything?
Yeah it was meant to start as a metal thread and then people felt the need to ridicule it.

No real comparison, but if you go to the start of the thread people started talking about salads instead, so the thread was renamed...maybe because they contain iron???

[Lux]

this is such a random thread lol
