    My band is now on itunes! For fans of...
    Hey guys!

    I'm pretty excited as my bands 6 track EP called "Goodbye Olympus" just got put onto itunes! I really how it gets our music out there a bit more and allows us to reach a new fan base! This thread is a tad advertisement (as I'm sure you can tell!) but I guess there's no other way to get out there! You can check us out (for free) at www.facebook.com/silverbyskyline or download our tracks on itunes by searching silverbyskyline.

    Thanks very much for reading this! If you have a band you want me to check out or add on facebook I will too, I know how hard wrangling fans can be o_0

    As long as it makes you feel important. Oh as for your music, it is bland and uninspiring like the bands you cite. Then again, being relevant is more important than being original I suppose.

    Well that's your opinion which you're more than entitled to! Have a nice day, cheery chops.

    PS I read that as "your music, is...like the bands you cite" so I'm taking that as a compliment! Also I checked your page and see you're into grunge and bands like megadeth, each to their own, but I would say they are very much bland. Again, this is my own opinion.

    It's ok to be hurt by my opinions, but there is no need to try and condescend me to relieve your own sense of self importance.

    As for the bands you assume I'm into, I don't remember putting anywhere on my page any bands I enjoy so I don't know where you got that from. Young people and their assumptions never cease to amuse me. Good day to you too little one.

    Not gonna listen to the music, because i dont like the bands you mentioned. Not gonna hate, because i'm a better person than that

    Good luck with your music though!

    To Mr negger; You were quick on the mark, were you waiting for someone to say something positive!?

    Honestly? It's good for what it is but it's not original from what I heard, your music is similar to the bands you cited but they were the one's that forged that style.. If you want to do bigger things you can't just reinvent the wheel.

    I went on your page to see if you're always this angry - you are. Anyway, once on your page I clicked "view all posts by Mr Grumpy" and one of them was you saying what music you liked, so no, I didn't assume, I read.

    Anyway, this is conjecture. You don't like my music, I'll lose many nights sleep, you get to remain the grumpiest mature student on TSR, you're big, I'm small etc. Have a nice day.

    Tried to like this post for giving constructive criticism but reached my max number of likes/dislikes apparently. My "like" is here in thought <3

    Well thanks for not being a tool like the Gruffalo up there ^^^

    I realise music is all subjective so yeah, no point in listening if you don't like our genre! Thanks very much for taking the time to post regardless!

    If you put as much effort into your music as you do with replying with what you seem to think are witty retorts, then your music would be better. Just saying.

    I'm not always grumpy, quite the contrary I'm chilled the majority of the time. It seems to me you're the one thats angry, grumpy and uptight right now.

    I haven't listened because the bands you cite aren't my cup of tea...

    But well done for getting your band sorted enough to have a decent recording up on iTunes.

    Oh, and The_master616 - writing music ain't easy. My band has gone through literally hundreds of riffs and ideas that seemed to start off well but ended up being binned. Writing a good riff is easy - making it fit in a song just isn't. It's taken my band a good couple of years to get where it is now for numerous reasons (though mainly having members scattered about Yorkshire with different work patterns). We're still not as good as we'd like to be, but we're getting there!

    "Re: Can older students fit in?
    I'm 22 and I can't stand undergraduates. There's no way in hell I'd go back to University after the age of about 20. Even as an 18 year old the people around me did my head in. What's wrong with undergraduates? "

    THEN


    "Re: Too old?
    I'll be 26 when I start uni. I wish i was 20 again..."

    THEN

    "Re: i ve missed on teenage years, and also missed good times in uni
    I'll be 26 when I start uni. I wish i was 24 again..."

    ALSO

    "Re: opinion on this tattoo?
    Its unimaginative crap. Like the majority of tattoos. Vain boring people have tattoos."

    YET

    "Re: Nose ring on a guy.
    I have a nose ring and had it for about 7 years. As the others said, who care what others think if you want it badly enough?"


    From this I've learned you are living a sad life of regrets and you're always quick to judge other people yet you hold yourself in very high regard. Also you frequently say how people tried to bully you so you resorted to using your wit, yet through reading your posts I see very little of that. Yes, trolling through all your idiocy did take some time, but I'm at work getting paid to do it, so it's not the end of the world. To be honest I feel quite sorry for you, and annoyed at myself for getting sucked in by your trolling, but get off your pedastle, you're an average human being at best. Enjoy your menial life.

    Got a youtube link or anything I can listen to!? I'm into a pretty wide range of music so there's a good chance I'd like your music =)

    Aww, you took the time to go through a few of my posts to gauge what sort of whimsical comeback to give? Yet you call my life menial? How adorable, yet slightly creepy and flattering at the same time.

    I'm not trolling, I gave my opinion and its a bit unfortunate that you can't take any opinion that isn't pandering to you. Isn't that what a musician is all about? Apart from begging people to like your output that is.

    Whatever, I gave my opinion. Deal with it how in the way that makes you feel important. All this because I dare to give an opinion.

    It's not your feedback, saying you don't like my music doesn't bother me, it's the condescension that you pepper in all your reposts that annoys me. You say you were bullied for your mental health disorder but, really, it's because you're a self-righteous ********. But you're right - I've spent far too much time on your profile and even bothering responding to you, so I shant any more. Good day.

    This did amuse me. One final thing before you stamp your feet and lick your wounds, where did I say I got bullied for my 'mental disorder'? This is all a bit personal for just an opinion I gave you. Bit childish and uppity really yet you self rightious? How cute.

    Good day to you too Mr Grumpy
