Music preference: Anything well done.



How long have you been a member? 8 months or so.



What made you join a music forum? To learn about new music bands etc.



How come you choose MB as your music community over other music communities? It seemed like a friendly environment open to people who aren't musical geniuses.



How does Music make you feel and what it means to you? It makes me feel beyond description sometimes and makes me feel ecstatic that I have found such good music. If i didn't have music to listen to I honestly would go insane.



Tell me what makes the MB online forum work for you and keep you coming back for more?
I like that its very open to discussion and its not all just talking about the bands or music. Theres a lot of friendly "banter" (sorry i had to say it) that makes me want to listen to suggested bands instead of me being told how ridiculous it is that I have never heard of a band.


Describe an interesting experience you had on the forum?
I will have to think about this one. As for now a very interesting thread was the david bowie crotch stuffing. that was just badass.



What have you learned or what will you take away from your experiences here?
I have learned so damn much about music i don't want to write it all down.



Let me know of any other points that you feel might interest me negative/positive about your experiences regarding being involved in a Music forum and its Members, now's your chance?

I just recommend it to anyone who wants to know about any type of music, cause there's always someone who will talk to you about it.

Why, thank you. I'm glad to hear people are fans... I always think it could have gone either way.

As in 32+10?
Or as As in 21x2
As in 84 / 2
6x7?
or just 42?

I think she means as in...

I think I kind of reffered to that :D.

And that's a bad thing?
My parents try to convince me how good this or that singstar with the stars on ice kid is time and time again.
I wish they'd listen to generic alternative music. That way I could at least 'not care'. Now their lack of interest in any real music annoys me every ****ing day.

I've been told that. I've also been told I've also been saying it wrong all my life.

In Dutch, how is it pronounced?

Wel there's no way of explaining that without actually being able to speak to you, so here you go:
click here to hear me pronounce your name ;)

You sound like you should be a narrator for Audio Books, s_k.

Dayummmmm.

I HAVE been saying it wrong all these years.

I've been told before :)
Actually on this forum a couple of days ago :D

Haha, what were you pronouncing it like?
And do you like or dislike the way it's pronounced here?

Actually, the only difference is I've been saying it like you'd say "Bianca", except with the "bi". So it's pretty small (at least, I think it is).

Age (Optional): 24

Location: Williamsport, Pennsylvania, USA


Music preference: Classic Rock, Indie



How long have you been a member? 4 months



What made you join a music forum? My music library was boring, so I was hoping to find new and interesting music to listen to. So I turned to one place where I knew I would get suggestions and whatnot, an Internet forum.



How come you choose MB as your music community over other music communities? Honestly, it was the first active one I came across. Seemed to be a good place to try and settle down for some serious music discussion.



How does Music make you feel and what it means to you? Music is something special for me, sometimes it can calm my rage or wear away depression. A certain song, heard at the right time, can make the rest of my day wonderful or terrible. Emotionally, it is the one thing that unsettles me, and I need that.



Tell me what makes the MB online forum work for you and keep you coming back for more? Like others have said, there is a strong sense of community here and I would like to become a part of that at some point. I just feel like I am still getting my bearings here though, almost like a perpetual first day of school.



Describe an interesting experience you had on the forum? Hrmm, haven't been here long enough to provide one, sorry.




What have you learned or what will you take away from your experiences here? My biggest gain here has been the amount of music diversity I have discovered. While I haven't necessarily had a social experience to take away from here that would be life changing. I can certainly say that the musical knowledge I take away is well worth the time spent here.




Let me know of any other points that you feel might interest me negative/positive about your experiences regarding being involved in a Music forum and its Members, now's your chance? None




Real Name (Optional): Nick

Are you shure about how I would say Bianca?
Because the english version of Bianca sounds different from the dutch version :D.
The Dutch are very creative with pronouncing names anyhow.
A friend of mine is called Chloë but it's pronounced in a way you couldn't possible fathom :D.

A real nickname. Brilliant.

Awwwwwwwwwwwww i loooovvveeeeeeeee :love:

Age (Optional): 34

Location: the cooler part of an apparently barren hellhole.

Music preference: the kind that makes me feel something i perceive as positive.

How long have you been a member? going on 3 years.

What made you join a music forum? to further develop my musical ideas with like minded people and develop more creative approaches to my music.

How come you choose MB as your music community over other music communities? the other one died. this one actually got noted as a successor / ripoff due to the layout and overall organization - we were just sore ours died. what made me do more than just check out the place was the fact that the instruments forum had activity. being able to pass on what little i've gleaned about playing music is another way of making me feel like the time isn't wasted.

How does Music make you feel and what it means to you?music makes me feel alive, it's the sound of nature, a reflection of life in a moment that will never exist again. it's so much more than just the sounds you hear.

Tell me what makes the MB online forum work for you and keep you coming back for more? the instruments forum. knowing there will always be some teenager stressing out about what to do for his first guitar and being able to chuckle to myself as i remember doing the same thing back in the 90s.

Describe an interesting experience you had on the forum? getting random PMs from people offering me music. still feel bad for not reciprocating yet.

What have you learned or what will you take away from your experiences here? yes

Let me know of any other points that you feel might interest me negative/positive about your experiences regarding being involved in a Music forum and its Members, now's your chance? something specific to music (instruments) forums is the feeling of satisfaction you get when you know you've helped someone learn a new skill or helped them further develop their technique. it was the main reason i joined in the first place.
