Well that's weirdly coincidental you bringing up Alan Parsons. I just so happened to have been listening to my APP playlist today while running. I Robot (the song) always puts me in the zone. I still like this song, probably because it reminds me in some way of progressive rock music of my youth. I'll take what i can get.

Maybe more to your liking https://videosift.com/video/Alan-Parsons-Project-I-Robot

so basically bad drummer, drum programmers, and producers ruined rock music. meanwhile, jungle/d'n'b took this technique to extremes over 10 years before it "ruined" rock music. i think rock music "killed" rock music, not poorly implemented technology.

The speed of it is insane. And how it goes from rock music, to people screaming in just 1 minute is a terrifying contrast

The examples you provide aren't particularly accurate.

The formaldehyde results in the study you're talking about have been misrepresented often. The study actually only showed higher formaldehyde when the vaporizer was run dry, meaning the coil wasn't vaporizing liquid but burning the liquid, wick and coil. Nobody would ever inhale that because it would taste horrible. The actual conclusion of the study showed fewer harmful chemicals in ecigarette vapor than cigarette smoke.

As far as teens using ecigarettes at a higher rate, the only available studies show teenage smoking rates dropping by about the same amount as the adoption of ecigarettes. There's no evidence of a net increase in nicotine use among teenagers. Instead, some teens that would have smoked are using ecigarettes.

Rock music is corrupting kids, comic books are teaching children bad morals, pinball leads to juvenile delinquency, video games make kids violent and ecigarettes are turning teens into addicts. Great headlines, zero facts.

Yummy, arguing on the internet!
I haven't done this in years, I'm gonna throw my hat in the Ring now.
I spent countless hours here for years, just enjoying the show. Staying out of all this, in the end at least, unimportant chatter. I came for the videos. Then somebody starts singing about sluts and I end up with an account. What can I say? I like sluts.
I spent much time reading and skipping over the posts of @shinyblurry here. And I still wonder why people feel the need to argue with him in such detail and length. He talks a lot about his faith in God and Jesus but what it come down to is this: He believes in The Bible.
The Bible features God and Jesus and all that but most important of all, it features a heckload of arguments for all kinds of things that are often in direct conflict.
Earlier in this thread, somebody threw a Bible quote about how rape victims have to marry their rapist in @shinyblurry's face and he actually started to explain (correct me if I misunderstood) how it's a punishment for the rapist that he has to pay money and marry the woman if the father chooses that.
I have money to burn. Is Jessica Alba married and where does her dad live? She's super hot and I *need* that kind of punishment. God wants her to fulfill her marital duties, right? If she's not available, I could make a list.
Now, I could argue this IMO rather distasteful idea with him, quoting the Bible back and forth, using other philosophical sources for arguments (I'm sure Hitchens mentioned rape somewhere sometime) but all that doesn't matter.
He believes in The Bible.
If I went back in time and edited early versions to my liking to include gems like "Every man shall also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed no abomination: they shall surely be praised", old shiny here would organize gay pride parades now. Because it's in the book. Whatever is in there, it's the truth. Whatever.
It's the same reason why creationist (I have no idea if old shiny is among them) can not accept evolution. It's not in the book.
They believe in this powerful, omnipotent god, not just in I-can-command-all-sea-animals-god. No, not that Aquaman shit the Greeks had, I'm talking about I-invented-the-universe-god. Get this, this guy did *invent* the universe. And still it was all some Siegfried and Roy BS we *know* to be nonsense. 7 days? Really? Was he in a hurry? Couldn't he wait until we get to the Game of Thrones and Tivo part of History? Was there another Earth to take care of? Contract work?
The idea to credit that dude for creating Evolution itself is too much to ask for these people. The idea that God created a giant machine (the universe) and allowed it to feature other tiny, tiny machines that repair, reproduce and improve themselves (life itself; evolution), is too mindblowing.
Who's more awesome in your book? The god that can do magic or the god who could do magic but opted for inventing everything science has discovered so far?
You know, science failed to disprove the existence of god. They can't do that yet. But they can disprove The Bible, at least parts. And yet, they still side with that darn book.
They don't care about God, the don't even care about Jesus. They care about what they read about them. They care about their perception of it.
Telling @shinyblurry that Jesus was a little, brown, jewish Hippie who got mixed up with existing mythology is like telling a fourteen year old that Ed Cullen is, by his own admission, a creepy murderer who stalks underage girls 80 years his junior. They don't want to hear it because that is not what the book said. They book didn't say that god created the natural laws of physics, chemistry and biology and set them upon the universe to wreak havoc until dinosaurs showed up. The book said it took 7 days. And ribs and dirt.
The Bible says so. Nothing else matters.
That's why it's pointless to argue scripture with him. The book is everything and allows so brilliantly for circular logic and cherry picking. It worked with slavery and how many are willing to argue nowadays in front of a TV camera for it? But gays are not slaves and women can always be picked on. Some wrong ideas are easier to conceal behind a book cover than others.
The Bible is everything to him, God and Jesus are just featured players. In the end they could be replaced by Donald Duck and Batman, they just weren't around back when they started to write it.
That doesn't mean I wouldn't love to hear your thoughts about the latest Daft Punk single, @shinyblurry. Or are you more into Rock music?

Just read this quote from Robert Fripp and thought of your channel:
"One of the ideas that was important to me was that you could be a rock musician without censoring your intelligence. Rock music has a very anti-intellectual stance, and I didn't see why I should act dumb in order to be a rock musician. Rock is the most malleable musical form we have. Within the rock framework you can play jazz, classical, trance music, Urubu drumming. Anything you like can come under the banner of rock. It's a remarkable musical form ...

Clearly being use dhere for the reaction, but generally white people who feel the need to say nigger come across as a little needy or alot archaic. Theyre either trying to be controversial or are so mired in alzheimers as to not know its modern connotations, theyre probably also anti-rock music and other works of satan.

As a brit i dont much care, but if youre trying to be controversial why not go and say it somewhere people give a shit? Stand by your principles in the middle of Brixton and ill give you due. On vidsift or the internet in general? Yawn.

new formula:
softcore porn + rock music = art

If the audio track was just the cameraman breathing heavy, this video would be all kinds of creepy.

but yes, too skinny for me. Them hipbones are painful when they jab into ya!

This is the equivalent of showing somebody who has never heard any rock music some Coldplay and Nickelback, and then asking them what the think of the genre. It saddens me that Skrillex and his ilk have abducted this word for their own brand of hyper aggressive testosterone fueled noise.

What we really have hear is "Elders react to Skrillex" and honestly their opinions don't really differ from a lot of 20yr olds

It's Thai pop from the 60s (a quick Google tells me it's sung by Waipod Phetsuphan*).
Thai and Cambodian pop/rock music from that era is often awesome, by he way.



_{*I know, I'm a moron 'cause it's written at he end of the clip. I missed it the first time.}

Seems like this is the only outlet for those who decry rock-music concerts.

A yamulke in the band and Anthony Anderson on the trombone.

What you're seeing today is an apostate church that has been infilitrated by Satan and has strayed far from the will of God. If any real persecution of the church were to arise, we would probably see that more than a few of those who call themselves Christian would no longer do so, because many do not even understand what it means to be a Christian. So, this modern worship you're talking about with rock music and slick multimedia presentations, isn't really worship at all. It certainly isn't glorifying God. It's not all bad but from what I have seen, a lot of it is in a satanic spirit.

>> ^dystopianfuturetoday:
Hey shiny, criticalthud beat me to this point, but isn't modern Christian worship pretty much exactly like this video? That's been my experience playing at many churches. Would this be OK if it was in the name of God?

Whoops! Yes he is dissing electronic music.
