I may have to post this as an announcement since apparently it's becoming a problem, but I'll just keep it here for now.
TraptDredg - While I understand that you feel you are defending the community's collective interest in some way, please realize that it is common knowledge on this board that several members are close friends with a lot of bands that bear some relation to dredg. Kaddisfly, Opus Dai, Woven, Strata, Mutemath, Circa Survive, and Decibully are just a few examples of groups that have connections to community members here. As a result, if it frustrates you to hear information about these bands from people close to them, I would advise you to simply ignore the posts. Part of the appeal of this board is the connection that we all share in our love of music, and people like Erik provide all of us with information, music, and all other sorts of goodies from bands we love. No one worships him because he is close to Strata... we simply know that he's the guy to talk to. Hell, one of our board members is in the liner notes of the upcoming Kaddisfly release (dredgfan001, Tucker). I hope that you understand that Erik's messages here at Traversing are encouraged by everyone and should never be treated as unsolicited bragging.
Anyway, let's move on.
Strata.
PS - And by the way, I deleted all of the bickering from the topic. Please, if you have a personal issue with someone, send them a PM and keep your confrontation private. Publicly berating someone and acting like a frustrated child is, in many ways, worse than talking about close connections with a band. It ruins the thread and makes this board appear classless and juvenile.
Ok...
Strata.
Anyway, I've decided to not listen to any other live recordings of new songs. I just want to hear the record in full when it leaks. But I DO like "Cocaine" a lot.
