At least it's better than the British indie scene, though, which at the moment is just horrible horrible shit like the Fratellis or whatever.
Whilst it's crammed with shit, look below the surface and you've got some amazing stuff there. For every shitty Scouting for girls, Wombats, Fratellis or Kooks, you've got Long Blondes, Mystery Jets, Blood Red Shoes, Foals, British Sea Power and Cribs.

The Strokes
Created a phenomenom with their first album Is This It, lost it with their piss poor second. Their third is good but god knows if we'll ever see this fourth one. Think distortion and grimey Joy Division vocals.

The Libertines
So we all know how much crack Pete Doherty is on now, but his original band pretty much revived the British "indie" scene. They also made an intelligent change from Oasis and co.

The Smiths
So Morrissey was in this band right? Dunno if you ever heard of it. Was some guy named 'Jonny Mar' in it too.

Bloc Party
Pretty huge over in the UK, worldwide infact. They took the 'rough' music ideas but gave them some nice polish and excellent drumming.

Joy Division
Low-fi bass heavy music with a psychotic lead singer. Famous for, a) the singer's dancing b) the singer's gun slinging

I think you misunderstood my use of the term 'deeper'. I did not mean more bass.

i thought europe's walmart was tesco
Tesco is the UK's biggest supermarket (something crazy like 30p of every £1 is spent there) so I suppose realistically, it is most similar.

Asda is Walmart's sister company for Europe.

Every Grocery store I've been in they always have bagboys putting yer crap in the bag. Most of the time they were teens, but sometimes you'd get that one 30 year old mentally handicapped guy.
Didn't he try eating your products?

Edit: Oh forgot, he had a fist to eat.

Of the lot, Aldi is actually pretty awesome. Wheras Netto (UK stores: Europe mainland Nettos are actually alright) is utter shit and Lidl is for pikeys, Aldi do loads of continental stuff and top spec laptops for £200. Try their "fake brands" as they aren't bad- the only shitty think I've ever found there is bread and milk. Scandinavians must feed their cows car exhausts for it to have that flavour.

I'm living off it as a student.

youre absolutely right about gain filled chords not being as "clean" (duh). Though whether thats good or bad is completely subjective. As far as clean, full chords sounding "deeper" i must disagree. Generally a power chord uses a root and a 3rd or 5th--cutting out the higher notes. so if anything a clean full chord will be brighter and have more "shimmer".
I know very little chord theory (never cared to learn yet) but even I know this is just crap. Play a C power chord, now play an open C. Notice how the open C has bass and treble? I don't understand how you think cutting out the higher notes would add more shimmer- quite the opposite as it'd be far duller.

my so called "Best Friend" used my feelings so he could gain shit
No he used our feelings because he wanted your 'feelings'. The dude was 33, you should have just made him pay for some love-candy.

Guys Im now Mcgyver of my friends.  A friend cracked his glass pipe yesterday and today i was down there and bored so while he was getting food i took 3 empty coke cans some duct tape and a highlighter and made a Can on can with mid section water bottomed "bong"   let me tell you it worked better than i thought it would and im quite proud of it. I now have ideas to make a 4 hosed hookah for us too!


Man im the Mcgyver high guy from How high lol !
I've never seen a can bong, pics? I've only ever managed it with bottles.

Not really. Mine was an actual fact wheras the other debate can just be summed up with "to each his own".

ah! i have the solution! turn the gain up until full chords are useless anyway!

now we can all get along
Riiight, because gain filled power chords sound anywhere near as clean and deep as full chords.
