When I went to the Mesh forum it seemed like the entire place was packed full of inside jokes everyone laughed at and I was just ?_?

Bulbinator posts there some bit though.

The mesh forum definitely has an "in"-crowd, and it's to small to have groups. over here we have enough members to have different groupings.

there's definitely certain types of people who go to certain forums, like JCF is mainly 30+ year old dudes who grew up in the 80s and the ESP forum is teenage guys with some dudes over 20 who just like posting stupid shit all day. meshuggah's definitely a band who has a giant following of "anything but meshuggah sucks" mentality people, same deal with metallica, etc.

So, what did they say exactly? if u don't mind spilling...

Just that the music was boring and that we were copying other bands too much.check the thread if your interested.(on the meshuggah forum i have already said where earlier in this thread)Dont get me wrong i dont mind constructive criticism, but their comments were just childish.

By the way Bulb if you read this and have read the thread i posted on the meshuggah forum, I think your music's awesome, was just using your style being influenced by meshuggah as an example to counter what the guys were saying.

Yeah you are always going to get people like that everywhere, its the problem with metal sometimes, people hold stuff close to their heart, so unless its repeating what they already like, or is something that completely sideswipes them out of nowhere, they are going to complain, I'm guilty of it myself on occasion.

However, don't worry about it, every band gets the same thing from someone, you just have to take what they say with a pinch of salt, sometimes wonder if some things they have to say are valid (i.e. listen to your own music objectively and see if you can hear anything from any other bands they mentioned), but then get on with what you are doing.

There's enough people ragging on Metallica all the time, but it doesn't stop them selling out gigs on a regular basis, and still has people interested in them after 4 albums that many people do not care for. As long as you feel you are getting what you want across with the music, then that is what matters, and if people like it or not, then thats their problem, not yours

What in the hell did you just say?

I'm playing 7s because of you? Ha!

There's this dude named Steve Vai that was playing "crazy7string's" before you, and I believe he's where I picked it up from.

I have no idea what a "chrod" is. Can you help me on that one?
