We are "A Dark In The Light" out of Waltham and we are seeking a bass player. We play thrash/groove metal mxied with classic rock and jam band stuff. Very heavy at times, very soft at times. We are always looking to expand our sound. Visit our myspace site to hear our stuff. (http://www.myspace.com/adarkinthelight). We have 8 songs total. We are a pretty serious band, but also very new, so we are looking to establish ourselves further. If you are interested, pls contact asap. Thanks.
-Seth (ADIL)

I read the description of this band and thought "yes"
I heard the music of this band and thought "no"

Cmon guys, is this really all I'm gonna get out of this post? Some guy who wont even say who he is voicing his disapproval of our music?

Aren't there any bass players out there?

There's already multiple bands on here looking for bass players. Good luck.

I'm looking for three bass players!

I'm fuck logging in.

you're still a faceless screen name. If you dont like our music thats swell, I just question why you wouldnt have anything better to do with your time (like picking up an instrument and starting a band yourself) then coming on this msg brd and criticizing people. I posted about finding a bass player, i doubt that you play bass.

A_Dark_In_The_Light said:

I do play bass, that's why I checked you guys out. I would like to start a jam metal band...but sadly you failed to peak my interest...not my fault.

Fuck Logging In said:

the few, the proud, the elite

If you like Pantera and like to play like Rex join this band.

Jam Band Heavy Metal???? Hmmmm.... How, no....Why would you do that?
So like, if Phish and Motorhead met up in a dark alley ahhh....Ya know what, fuck it! Nevermind!
Good luck!

.......Wait, joke thread right?

I think that band name A DARK IN THE LIGHT is taken....How about A DIAMOND IN THE RUFF , A DAY LATE AND A DOLLAR SHORT or A HOTDOG DOWN A HALLWAY?

Why would you guys go out of your way to make fun of this band? This is such typical Boston music scene behavior. Petty squabbling, shooting eachother down. I mean, these guys are alright, not incredible, but decent, and more importantly, original. If you don't like it, fine, but why would you want to work against them finding a bassist? Its people like you that make the Boston music scene weak, superficial, and dominated by trendy faggots.

I'm not part of any fuckin' scene asshole, so I hope your not tryin' to lump me in with the "Boston Scene" fuck nut! I'm New Hampshire all the way, not some Burlington burb fag pretending to be Bawston.

I'm gonna assume your a trendy faggot from Boston seeing how your the authority on how lame that scene is.

Grow some balls and login larvea.

Hi a dark in the light

troll is funny in this thread. i loved the phish meets motorhead comment and the hotdog down a hallway comment. i tohught of phish metal when i first read this thread too. i hope this band finds what they're looking for. i checked out the music and wasn't into it, but maybe they'll find someone who is.

ya know, considering they're a 3 piece, one new member would significantly change the sound. so if you don't like the mp3s, maybe you would if you were playing on them... fags

A_Dark_In_The_Light said:

Who's to say a body can't do both?

I just moved to Boston because I'm a musician with real ambition. I'm from Jaffrey, New Hampshire, born and raised, so go fuck yourself. Incidentally, as a New Hampshirite myself, I respect your contempt for Boston, and that's exactly where my feelings on the scene are coming from.

If I was a "trendy faggot", don't you think I would like the Boston music scene? Use your head.

Oh, and I'm going to assume that "I'm not part of any scene" actually means "I'm not in a band that anybody gives a fuck about".

Yeah, let's play music and go to shows in New Hampshire - a breeding ground for people who need to use the word faggot to prove their heterosexuality, a place where no band can make a living, where good bands rarely come to play.

As far as growing balls, I think it's sad that you think the way I should show my courage is by logging in. What a sheltered little back-country internet world you live in.

By the way, "your" denotes ownership. "you're" is a contraction of "you" and "are". Get 'em straight. Oh, and you misspelled the word "larvae". Nice. I hope you enjoy spending the rest of your life out in the woods, disparaging people you don't know in poor English over the internet, challenging their bravery by daring them to "log in".

I saw your picture tough guy - you're just another skinny metalhead who spends too much time on the internet, in between Magic tournaments, I would imagine. I could beat the shit out of you, and if you wanna meet up with me, I will gladly do just that. Until then, I hope your internet postings help you get over having been ridiculed by kids at the highschool in your hometown, where I would guess you still reside.

Although I did use the term faggot myself, so I guess I'm a hypocrite. But, I am a New Hampshire hypocrite. Hehe.

Hey Troll, post a link to your band on here - I wanna hear where you're coming from. Besides, you might as well - you gotta get some exposure somehow.

From Troll's MySpace:

"I am more than willing to accept the reality that I will always walk this earth mis-understood by it's many feeble minded inhabitants."

Again, gotta love the English - "misunderstood" is one word, dumbass.

It would appear that, yes, you're definitely still bitter about having been made fun of in highschool. I bet you're one of those Columbine type kids, minus the balls to do anything about it.

Oh, and your fascination in fascism! Cool! Yeah! That is SO metal! Let's ACTUALLY kill people! You are the most metal guy ever, except for Hitler, of course. Keep licking stuff in the forest douchebag.

Oh, and back to the English thing: "it's" is a contraction for "it is". "Its" denotes ownership.

Oh, and i love to kiss guys

Yes!
My # is 603-208-8155.
Please don't back down.

Not only that, I love to put my penis their butts.

What am I gonna do, beat you up over the phone? I want your address motherfucker.

soooooo, your a pussy.
Thats what I thought.

Hahhahaha meet you halfway asshole.

Well, that was a refreshing phone call "WHY?".
Magic the gathering....Nice touch.

I'll drink to that hahaha

"you're"

Well, I just called him, and he was all stammering and bullshit. I challenged him to meet me September 8th in Gorham, NH for the muster. He just stammered some more, so I told him I'd call back in a few minutes when he had a comeback. I called him two minutes later and he didn't pick up, and still hasn't called back.

See you September 8th at the muster in Gorham. That's the next time I'll be in New Hampshire, I'll be there anyway. If you don't show, it's no skin off my ass.

Ok asshole. So you know what I look like. Good enough fucker but what makes anonymous posters total shit is the fact that there is no physical profile to back up your shit.
Quite simply, I wanna know who I'm looking for.

BTW, the sound of drums is perfect for a braindance.

Oh, and so you know I'm not kidding, I'm gonna call your ass to remind you, and tell you where to find me, and what I look like - specifically, four inches taller and 80 pounds heavier than you. Oh, and fuck Derosier and all the others who fight for attention/money. I fight for fun.

It's funny, you claim to be into mixed martial arts, but I don't see any reference to that on your "moonlightsdream" myspace. I think you're bluffing.

Still hasn't called back, still posting. You're sad buddy.

(on an unrelated note)
Espresso baby! Call me back!

Why? said:

wow, you are a sorry son of a bitch.

I'm not going to sign up for an account here just so that you know what I look like.

A) We're going to meet at an agreed-upon location.
B) I'll tell you what to look for.
C) I'm not going to cheap-shot you, so why do you need to know what I look like? Fear, that's why.

No, its you who fear.

BTW, thanx for the sobering chat.

Well, you still haven't called me back, and your comebacks are getting weaker and weaker, so I'm signing off for the night. Nothing else needs to be said. If you're a man of your word, you'll be at the muster. I'll call you in a month.

So go ahead, drink your espresso - you're gonna need it for the long night of struggling for identity over the internet that you have ahead of you.

Why? said:

huh! Missed this one! Stammered huh!?!? Thats bullshit. I was just laid back listening to you spout your bullshit. Is it really that easy for you to assume you know who I am and how I act?
Wow, you have already lost.

archaeon said:

Good call Archaeon.

Correct!

well anyways, i still kiss guys.

You guys should just share a deep, soulful kiss and make up.

kill!

mom and dad stop fighting!... your ruining my berfday party!!!

waaaahhhh.

I do kiss guys, you're right Troll. I love it. I love to slide my tongue into their mouths and just slip it all around. Hey baby, I'll be waiting for you at the muster. If you don't wanna fight, we can just make love. You see buddy, the difference between you and me is that I'm secure enough to not give a shit.

I'm right? Right about what Seth? I never brought up anything about you kissing guys. Wheres that coming from anyways? You insecure? Do what you want man. Hey, If your gay be proud.

Seth, that is your name right?

....Oh wait, or is it Mike?
Ahh Yea, thaaaats it. Hence the "rip me apart on guitar" email.

Mike it is.

That's basically what I look like.

You know, if you wanna disprove me, why don't you post a link to your band on here? I mean, I'm pretty much counting on the fact that you'll be a no show to fight me - your voice was noticeably quavering on the phone last night - so you might as well save some face somehow.

THERE! That's exactly what I look like!

Why? said:

Quavering, huh! Are you 12? Good attempt at getting a rise out of me though. If you were half as smart as you think you are I'd expect you to be a little more observant and notice all the links on my RTTP profile and Myspace.
Do some research kid. I expect you'll have nothing good to say anyways and I'm quite fine with that.

dis thred iz st00pitt

It looks like I did a pretty good job of getting a rise out of you, wouldn't you say? I mean, that last message sounded pretty bitter. Why don't you go find some Jewish, black, or mentally retarded people to kill, that would probably make you feel better. Until then, I'm quite satisfied with my ability to get a rise out of you.

Oh, and the links on your RTTP and Myspace profiles indicate your status as a has-been in bands that didn't work out. Otherwise, I would expect to find links to a current band page. You must be, what, 30 or something? Don't get me wrong - I'm sure you're a legend in Lyme.

That's right - I know where you live.

Why? said:

OMG RUN!!! *snort*

He doesn't need to run - Nazis always have guns and hang out in packs.

Now that's what I'm talking about.

Why? said:

You've got a real problem with the whole Totalitarianism thing uh? Thats fuckin' hilarious. What are you one of them ARA utopist peace nazis? Do you cry when you step on a blade of grass?
You think you know what I'm about? What, you've got ESP or some shit?
Your just making these laughable judgments at face value and I'm finding it quite entertaining!
I can tell you were at the head of your class.

You're goddamn right I was at the head of my class. I can tell you were at the bottom of yours.

*raises eyebrow* oh my...

You guys should have GEORGE ZIMMER play for your band.

meh

shamash said:

Do not tempt the wrath of ZIMMER.

^uh...who?

so, is anyone gonna join this band or what? i think we got a little off-topic in this thread.

HI, I'M GEORGE ZIMMER, FOUNDER AND C.E.O. OF MEN'S WEARHOUSE.
WHILE MY MASSIVE MENTAL FACULTIES ARE ADVANCED FAR BEYOND THE SILLY AND SUPERSTITIOUS SPIRITUALITY SPOUTED SENSELESSLY IN SUNDAY SERMONS, ALL BUSINESSMEN KNOW THE ADVANTAGES OF KEEPING UP A PIOUS PUBLIC PERSONNA. IT WAS WITH THIS IN MIND THAT I RECENTLY VISITED A LOCAL CHAPEL, THOUGH AS YOU WILL SOON LEARN, THINGS TOOK A TURN FOR THE TEMPTING, IN TYPICALLY TAWDRY, TITTILATING ZIMMER FASHION.
ALL WAS PROCEDING ACCORDING TO PLAN UNTIL MY WANDERING GAZE FELL UPON THE ROUND, ROBED RELIGIOUS RUMP OF THE CHOIR DIRECTOR, A SEDUCTIVELY SLENDER SAINT SINGING SENSUOUSLY ON STAGE. DESPITE MY DILIGENT DESIRE TO DEMONSTRATE DEVOUT DEDICATION AND DERAIL MY DIRTIER DISPOSITIONS, MY MIRACULOUSLY MIGHTY MANMEAT MESSIAH BURST FORTH WITH A FLASH OF HEAVENLY LIGHT, RISING FROM ITS TROUSERY TOMB LIKE THE RESURRECTED CHRIST. THE ANGELIC AUBURN-HAIRED ARTISTE ARRESTED HER AURAL ADMINISTRATION AND RENT HER ROBES, BENDING BACKWARDS TO BARE HER BURNING BUSH. MY PERENNIALLY PASSIONATE PENILE POWERHOUSE PARTED HER PUBES LIKE MOSES BEFORE THE RED SEA. AS I BAPTISED THE BODACIOUSLY BUXOM BIBLE-BANGER BY SPEWING A SALACIOUSLY SINFUL SURGE OF SACREMENTAL SEMEN INTO HER HERETICALLY HOT HOLY OF HOLIES, SHE SANG NOTES ONLY AUDIBLE TO THE HIGHEST CHOIRS OF ANGELS.
THE VIRGIN MARY'S BEEN PROPOSITIONING ME IN VISIONS EVER SINCE. I GUARANTEE IT.

not now mike. way to make our whole band look like complete assholes.

LOL, GEORGE ZIMMER's like the Candyman; say his name too many times, and he appears.

OSHI-

Right, so I got involved in this ridiculous pissing match with some dude I don't know, and it was a poor decision. Look, all we wanna do is make some music. Believe it or not, we're not complete assholes. Between the two of us, I, Mike can be an asshole sometimes, and Seth does his best to keep me from making asses out of us in public situations. Sorry Seth, guess I let you down here.

I was frustrated by the lack of positive response from this board. We're not a typical band. We're not appealing to the metal mainstream. If you want to play metal like what you've heard before, we're not the band for you. Some people don't like us - ok. I should have accepted that. Instead, I got involved in an extended argument with some dude I don't know. Hell, I would probably like Troll if I met him - he has good taste in music.

I'm sorry for wasting your time. If you like our music and play bass, please get in touch with us. I'm a reasonable fella, I'm just hot-blooded sometimes. Makes for some good music, and bad forum behavior.
