What? Where are you from, China? In my country (USA) I know exactly what goes into all food items, because they have to list every ingredient right on the packaging. And they aren't "rules", they are LAWS that state what you can and cannot put into edible items.
Believe it. Back when they were cranking out Walkmans and Discmans Sony actually had a great reputation for reliable hardware. It wasn't until about 8-10 years ago or so that their reputation fell into decline rapidly. I used to buy Sony stereo equipment, and still have an old Sony DVD player that works great, but i would hesitate before buying anything with the Sony brand on it today.
Well, neither site is currently pursuing what they started out as. Both have morphed into the generic social sites that are near impossible to tell apart by features or stated purpose these days...And when the next Facebook comes along Facebook will be the new MySpace.
No, MySpace originally started out as a way for bands to get their stuff out there, and maintain contacts lists easily. It is why I signed up for it about 4 years ago. Facebook started out as a way for high school and college friends to find each other easily. I remember way back I think you even needed a school email to sign up for Facebook.
But it can be fun sometimes! And for the record, I am not angry. Sorry, but some ignorant stranger posting as an AC here could not raise my ire to the point of anger. Call it condescending bemusement at best...
Please enlighten us how your post added anything more to the discussion than the post you are bagging on. At least the OP was talking about the article. And yes, I know this is off topic and doesn't really add much either.
How? PiL is not the Sex Pistols. PiL had John Lydon, not Johnny Rotten. There were real musicians in PiL, who could actually play their instruments before the band was formed. (Paul Cook was the only member of the Sex Pistols who could actually play an instrument before they were a band. Unless you count Glen Matlock.) PiL was Lydon's "anti-rock" band, and as stated earlier the Sex Pistols were basically a "punk boy band" put together by Malcom McClaren to sell bondage wear and "punk" clothing at his clothing store. (Check out the movie The Great Rock 'n Roll Swindle for a great history of the Sex Pistols and how/why they were formed.) The existence of PiL proves nothing about the Sex Pistols though.
Don't get me wrong, just because the Sex Pistols may have been put together to sell crap doesn't lessen their relevance in regards to the music world.
Whatever. It was mostly tongue-in-cheek, but with a large grain of truth as well. If you really want to avoid shallowness, I would skip this site all together.
Sorry pal, but I have dozens of friends in bands and not one of them "play bad zeppelin covers" (or any covers for that matter - that is for shit bands) or have ever played for a 6 pack before. Even if only 10 people show up they get like $50 and at least 3-4 free drink tickets. On a good night it may be more like $300-$600 and unlimited free drinks. And the band that I manage has made over $1000 for an hours worth of work on a few occasions. Let me ask you something - have you and your Guitar Zero playing friends ever even earned a six-pack for badly pretending to play Zeppelin covers? Yeah, didn't think so. My best friend has earned the money he spent on all his guitar equipment (Well into the $10,000 range including everything) at least a few times over. How long until you break even on your video game? Keep pretending you are a "Hero", and let the rest of the grownups talk now.
And who do you think got more pussy - Billy Joel or Jimmy Page? Elton John or Ted Nugent (ok, that's probably not fair)? Ben Folds or Keith Richards? Barry Manilow or any other guitar player ever? So yeah, I guess if you want a girl "with a nice personality" (aka not hot) who appreciates a guy with a sensitive side, play the piano. But in real life, every chick wants to sleep with the guitar player. The piano player only gets girls if the drummer is already passed out. It isn't rocket science, just the musician pecking order. I mean come on, the piano isn't even a phallic symbol!

No, real geeks use 11000000111001 (12345 in binary for you non-geeks)
There are 10 types of people in this world - people who use this lame joke, and people who don't.

Dear everyone - this is Slashdot. Yes, some people will do and say things you don't like here. Get over it.
But it can be fun sometimes! And for the record, I am not angry. Sorry, but some ignorant stranger posting as an AC here could not raise my ire to the point of anger. Call it condescending bemusement at best...
Yeah, but stereotyping the entire middle east isn't racist at all. Good job, I'm sure Jesus is proud of your illogical hatred.
I would be partying all day and nights.
It is better to Rock n Roll all night, and party ev-er-y day.
I can see the commercial. Cut to elderly woman on the floor - "Help, I've fallen...And I have no pulse!"
Something tells me that patients in the last stages of heart failure are NOT going to do to much partying.
It's only a flesh wound...

Tucker Max is like a retarded frat boy Borat, but who isn't joking.
See, now I can tell you HAVE been in a band!
Your only mistake was taking anything you saw on Slashdot seriously.

Yep, never been in a band.

What? So being able to "play" a "guitar" with only one string and 5 frets doesn't make me an actual skilled musician? Get ouuta town!
Um, he said pick up women, not guys.
I can tell you have never been in a actual band before.
And also requires effort and skill to play.
Are you talking about guitars or women?
And it seems your obsession with BadAnalogyGuy has led to this post. Now ask yourself, which obsession is creepier?
