Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
I’ve never heard of this group, but they’re fantastic. Thank you for sharing.
That gay bar song is disgusting. I need I bleach now.
It reminds me of my gay cousin that lived in Palm Springs. He had gay porn, running on his TV in the daytime. None of my business, it was his house… But at the time I just didn’t really care about it. Now I know… These people are complete degenerates.
He would love this song
Yeah, I dislike anything with Madonna or Beyoncé or any of those Satanic witches.
I think I came from a very progressive place as well, however… That’s change!
I used to be a huge metal fan. Huge. Hard-core grunge metal! I’m a big Avenged Sevenfold fan! However; for some reason, I’m just not interested in that kind of music anymore. It’s kind of sad because it was a huge part of my life, but now I just love listening to worship music because it comforts me and it helps me to calm down!
I really connected with Avenged Sevenfold because my husband died the same year that their drummer, The Rev - died. The album “Nightmare” was very cathartic. As it has many songs regarding the passing of The Rev and grieving.
To this day, I feel like they took The Rev out, as a sacrifice for their success, because they wouldn’t play along. It took them years, and I mean years for them to finally replace the drummer. Mike Portnoy, from Dream Theater- was there session musician on the Nightmare album, and for concerts for about a year or so. He was never officially a member of the band though.
Two other drummers, Arin Ilejay and Brooks Wackerman - I’ve never replaced The Rev - James (Jimmy Sullivan) completely! He was one of the most beloved members of the band to all the other members.
I also feel a kindred spirit with the band, because… They all went to Huntington Beach high school just like me.
